- "Walk tall, Mayor, walk tall!"
- — Neil Fairbanks alerting the mayor that the city loves him.
A disapproving Fairbanks.
Neil Fairbanks is SimCity 4's city planning advisor. He often offers general advice on city building, such as zoning, as well as notifying the player if they unlock a reward building. He will also notify the player of other issues in the city, such as having too many roads despite the city not needing it.
Neil Fairbanks' role is arguably the largest out of all the advisors.
Appearance[]
Neil Fairbanks appears to be a white male with light skin and black, extremely shiny hair. He wears a navy suit with a white button-down and a black tie.
Personality[]
Neil Fairbanks' personality is that of a smooth-talking, successful businessman. He appears to be very excitable, as in all of his animations, he moves around in an exaggerated, restless way. He is also somewhat obsessed with growth and success, chastising the player for things such as not connecting to neighbor cities and not zoning enough.
Neil's happy (green background) animation involves him looking around rapidly with a grin on his face. His content (light greyish-blue background) animation involves him swaying from side to side with an emotionless expression. His upset (red background) animation involves him shaking his head slowly. His extremely upset (flashing red background) animation involves him swinging his arms and head around rapidly, and moving his mouth in a mocking way.
Relationship with Other Advisors[]
Neil Fairbanks' relationship with other advisors seems to be neutral, as he is never mentioned by any of them.
