SimCity Societies: Patch #4 rampages in with two new disasters - Image 1

If terrorizing your sims with flying saucers wasn't exactly your cup of tea, then you'll want to hear about recent update being announced for SimCity Societies. The devs recently released the game's fourth patch, which brings several new bug fixes and features with it.

Headlining the new patch will be the release of two new monsters: The Burgazoid 6000, and the Ornithosaurus Wrecks.

The patch will also carry six new buildings, two new crises, new building abilities, and a new mod management tool. The last item in the list will enable players to enable, disable, or delete whatever mods they have loaded in their game via the main menu.

We've also provided a partial list of the patch's bug fixes here. The complete changelog, along with the patch download, are available over in the SimCity Societies official site via the source link below.
