like, too high.

In the past, I've only ever briefly played sim city (forget which one) and I couldn't figure out what the hell to do (i was like 4 probably).

I've never really played a city builder.

I guess I'll buck up and try to learn some shit

It's not so hard unless you're trying to optimize everything for max efficiency, but that's not even a requirement.

My favorite city builder is Anno 1404. It's got a medium learning curve but it's tons of fun when you get into it and start expanding to multiple islands and setting up trade routes for your ships.

I've tried to play cities skylines and cities XL.

They're both in my opinion fine as simulators but they're devoid of any personality or vibrance. The absolute best city builder I've ever played was simcity societies.

I'd recommend that if you want something with a pretty easy learning pace.

The cities grow as much as you let them, so you can start off with a little village and make those people happy whilst you learn the mechanics of the game. Fun game, tons of personality

The game guides you pretty well when you start off and most of the stuff gets unlocked as your city gets bigger so you aren't overwhelmed when starting off.

It's a really good game

Cities skylines definitely has a learning curve but it's fun learning

Late game Cities Skyline turns into a traffic simulator, which I actually enjoyed.
