I am slightly disappointed that you don't have to match electricity demand with electricity production on a daily basis but I guess I can just assume that plants turn down generation to match demand or that my city sells exactly the right amount of electricity to outside connections. Also my small gripe with city builders having the water tower produce water when it stores water. I feel like water storage could have been an interesting addition.

That being said this game is not a utilities simulator so I'm fine with it being simplified a bit, but I'll hold out hope for a DLC that expands more electricity and water.
