Space Empires IV (but not Space Empires V). Yeah I know its not really a 
sim. More of a 4x. But I liked it.

Out of the box SEIV wasnt much. I think it was 8 races and 50 stars. Feels 
like a demo now when I reinstall it and play it without the add-ons. But 
with the player mods it became 255 stars and tons of other added features. 
I have over 300 races loaded to mine and thats even with me being fairly 
picky about what ones I kept.

I still play fairly often. Even in solo mode. Too bad SEV going to 3d 
killed so much of the modding efforts.

InMyHumbleOpinion SEV is to SEIV as Vista is to WinXP. Yes there are
improvements built in but until enough people start building off of them
there isnt much reason to upgrade.
