Literally why

>"good" at managing traffic
Any retard can make a highways-and-grids system.

Make a city that looks beautiful, realistic, and still functions. THEN we'll talk.

I like trains.

I wish these city builder games had the create a quest function that spore had. I'd like to build entire cities then make actual quests that you can actually play using a character in the city. idk if spore was unique in having that but it seems like a feature that's been left behind

>>381770818
I always try to get into simulation games but promptly realize that they almost always require way too much time to properly get into. It is the genre for people with high functioning aspergers that have no job or anything better to do with their day.

Maybe some nomansky elements would be good also.

>>381772535
Sim city's Sim mode could be better.

>>381774321
That kind of stuff is a meme to destract you from lack of real game play. Cities needs more focus on managment and some more building/road varieties.

>>381777964

Yeah, same here. I come from a rural area and I almost panic each time I go to the city.

Dont get snowfall. Litterly nothing added.

>>381778309
Pretty easy to decide which ones will you need and which ones you won't.

>>381778870
I found myself loving the disaster DLC. All the different disaster response services you have to maintain, and having to occasionally actually plan a city around ways to mitigate potential disasters make it feel more... Real? Alive?

>>381771434
Nice. Does something like this slow down your pc at all?

>>381778309
the DLCs are mostly for show and are accompanied by free updates that cumulatively make the game better, vanilla is p good, if you like it, pick up the night one

>>381779820

FPS is lowered and I can't fast forward but it's still playable.

There is something about Cities: Skylines that annoys me to NO END.
Something about lack of precision, about bad U.I., about it being the lack of ability to create ghost entities and plan ahead... it all ultimately feels incredibly clunky, imprecise and yet shallow.
The water and electricity mechanics are also just fucking terrible and add absolutely nothing to the game but pointless busy-work.

I know it's probably the best city-building available out there right now, but that just really speaks about the terrible state of the genre. I respect that the studio had extremely limited resources and that it turned out better than anyone expected, but my god it's about time somebody released a city builder that is not "better than expected" - one that is actually genuinely GOOD.

SimCity 4 is the superior and more skillful game.

First time I went to baltimore I went down the wrong way on a one way 4 lane street. Thankfully it was like 3am and no one was around so I was able to pull over quickly and U turn before someone noticed. I come from a small town.

A couple months ago I wanted to play cities skylines so I pirated it. I have steam share on with my friend who also owned it, and for some reason when I played the pirated version it told my friend I was playing his version of the game. Anyone know why this happened?

Congratulation, you have created a permanent 9/11 situation

Good thing of last dlc freebies:
New road snaps, Aligning highways is no longer a complicated process of dirt roads and splines.

Bad things about it:
New road snapping fucks up aligning sidewalks off of Road 'L''s in neighborhoods, as it auto snaps into housing tiles without setting it off. EVERY. SINGLE. TIME. No more micromanaging controls please.

Hidden bulldozer change that is confusing everyone who wants to remove underground or accidentally pressed 'v'.
After practicing with the terrain slope tool. It is now my goto waifu.

Interleaving Tram only roads is life.

This guy gets it.
As anons are speaking of setting challenges for themselves. Try worlds without underground, or worlds with no multi level roads. I attempted both, The no levels challenge is fucking me up hard, as traffic is not smart enough to split entering into separate entrances into a zone from the main highway. I could use some tips here.

>>381781752
You can turn road snaps on and off with the small blue thingamajiggy, thank fuck.
