They're talking THE Sims not SimCity, SimAnt, etc.
But for Simcity, Cities Skylines has overtaken it although CS2 is apparently pretty buggy.
Your advice for pirating with all dlc applies for CS1 too. I bought it originally on Steam with a Humble Bundle then bought another HB with it again to get more DLC, in retrospect should have just pirated the whole thing.
Cities skylines 2's issues aren't the bugs, but the game design. Cars move around randomly instead of having a destination. Production chains don't matter. The simulation itself is wrong. In fact it's made to fool the player into believing there's a simulation where there isn't one. These aren't bugs: Paradox has stated that they won't change any of that.
Cities Skylines 1, in contrast, is a wonderful game (with mods). Watch some Biffa on YT playing the game to see what the gameplay is like with the popular mods.
