Not exactly a SimCity game, but it was in a similar vein. Found this rummaging around looking for games today, SimTown! It was a simplified version of SimCity, aimed more towards kids who want to play SimCity without overwhelming them. I don't see it that often in the PC game lots where they're trying to get rid of older PC games that take some doing to run (which if you have the tools and resources, you can still play these on Win 8).
