Pardon my ignorance, but what do you mean with painter?

At a certain point in Cities Skylines you stop having any real challenge to make money or to keep your city running, so it becomes pretty much a sandbox. You can make the city look pretty much however you like instead of being bound by the needs of the city. In effect, you can just paint whatever kind of city you like onto the terrain. There's still a little challenge to deal with transportation but its fairly trivial to solve when you have effectively unlimited money in the game.
Exactly this - the "how do I not keep going bankrupt" part of the game is relatively short (similar to the "how do I not starve the first winter" in Dwarf Fortress) and with a bit of care you have so much money rolling in you can just do whatever you like.
Pocket City is a much simpler City Painter with practically no gameplay at all, except for an annoying drag through "quests" to build 1 of everything.
Ah, right, that’s pretty recognizable from my gameplay, thanks :)
