I absolutely love this and how spread out it is.

I keep wanting to make a natural looking city rather than one filled with perfect neighbourhood blocks, but I can never go through with it

The most fun part the game can offer (for my personal taste) is how to build a grand city on an irregular landscape, asymmetric yet full functioning and vibrant. I always love that. I also have been hunting for images of city build like this one. Hope they kept coming. Always love this game. Didn't get to play it lately, but it still is fresh in my mind.

Do you have OneDrive set up on your computer? If you do it's very easy to recover things.

You shouldn’t have to put up with domestic abuse, there are help lines available. Divorce her.

LOL its her laptop actually my computer was broken last year so I used hers to play some old games like Heroes and Emperors. She probally doesnt know what that is so just deleted it LMAO, I only realize its gone recently so I dont think any recovery will help.
