After having extreme slowdown/PC meltdown on launch day, I kind of forgot about that game.

Does it have any penalties vs Tropico or Sim CIty? In Tropico, you just can't win. You could have a fantastic transit system leading to free housing, and people will still set up shanties everywhere.

My negro. A couple of those are replacing standard diamond interchanges where I live. SPUI is probably my second favorite.

>making grids

whats the best to use the starting road?

>>387697187
Tropico 5 and 4 eith the expansion has subways, which is a "fuck traffic everyone teleports now" building

I like having my downtown core in a grid
I can't really explain my personal brand of autism but for some reason I get really triggered by undeveloped/unused spaces in a part of the city that's supposed to be dense
parks and green spaces are fine if they're ones I've created, but even a sliver of unused "wild" land annoys me
send help/please be patient/etc.

Whatever you do, don't look at Orlando in Google maps (the actual city, none of that Disney shit). Wonky downtown grid with a lot of undeveloped land within the square mile the downtown is in. Then you have some of the most cancerous suburban layouts all around, especially near UCF. The city's got hardly any natural barriers to contain development too. I know this becuase I live there

>downtown is dominated by a huge highway interchange
that's the most american thing I've ever seen

seriously though, other than that it doesn't seem so bad, most of the "empty" space looks like parks or lakes
for some reason, in city-building games, never-used land looks to me like a wasteland rather than green space. I'm not sure it has a real-world parallel

Looks like something I would make because /v/ keeps teasing me about grids

fuck it I guess I'm reinstalling

island cities are the best cities

>>387698459
Me too. Man, I remember when my city was small and comfy. Now it's a hellhole burdened by heavy traffic, smog, crime, and dead bodies piling up because emergency vehicles can't get to where they need to go.

>>387699471
Yeah this looks great

>>387700809
And it's only going to get larger. The main highway, I-4, is going through a huge expansion but on the plus side the big interchange with SR 408 (the smaller east-west highway) is being compacted into a proper stack interchange instead of being all over the place like it is now. The lakes are a blessing and add character but yeah a lot of the empty lots are just that - empty lots.

>>387700816
Yep, the road network here is pretty infuriating but at least the roads are in good shape when compared to roads in the Northeast US.

I haven't gotten to hellhole yet but intentionally going for mess leaves it a mess. Though what the fuck am I doing leaving one tiny "roundabout" as the main entrance to everything.

>>387702583
That looks REALLY similar to something I built a year ago.

I was gonna get this but the user reviews say all the cool shit is hidden behind dlc

How do i into roundabouts

I've literally never driven on one or seen one

>>387703154
bit of an overreaction, although understandable given how paradox have become
the base game is absolutely fine and as far as I'm concerned the only really cool dlcs are after dark and mass transit

>>387703154
Stop talking out of your ass.
It has a 87% on Steam and the base game is just 7€ right now.
And After dark is the only DLC I'd call, more or less, "mandatory", because it's the best DLC by far.

>>387703154
It's published by paradox, what were you expecting
[Spoiler]just buy the base game and then pirate the DLC, or just download the full game with the expansions, it weights around 4 gigs[/Spoiler]

Grids

Do you just stop making low commercial and industrial zones when your citizens become more educated?

Having problems with people bitching about taking jobs they're too educated to take.

Or do you just make a suburban and rural retard zone?

>tfw no matter what you do, every city always feels too unfinished to look at

I don't know if I would enjoy this game, I really like Tropico but a lot of the fun comes from the scenarios and goals you have to accomplish.

i need THREE things from you

give me your mod-list / suggestion mods
give me as many tips as you can related to traffic and placement
link any guides you have followed

i love cities and i just wanna build a decent big city but i have no idea where to start and go, hugely appreciated, thankyou anon

Got £10 sitting in my steam wallet and need something to spend it on. Don't really want to spend extra on the DLC, because I am quite poor atm, is vanilla + mods any good?

>>387705203
It looks way better than mine.

I have 1800 mods and assets. This is not recommended. My computer will likely catch on fire soon.
Most of the city was done with the Ploppable RICO mod, which just lets you make the city the exact way you want it, at the expense of hueg amounts of time. You'll need Find It for quick searching and Plop The Growables to really make it work well. Also grab Precision Engineering to make road curves and stuff make sense (You want stuff to be on a nice 45 degree or 135 degree curve, or at 90 degree angles. I know about the not muh grid meme but you can't make things look compressed and real without it.)

Traffic is a nightmare on this game, but you probably already knew that. I've had more luck with my last two builds on just making as MANY access points to different cities and neighborhoods as possible, because when I used to just use one or two exits with roundabouts I'd get a mile long line in the exiting lane. This city works pretty well also since I have 6 train lines and about 80-ish bus lines serving it. Fuck money on this game, just turn on unlimited until you get it.

I really don't follow guides on it, I did learn a bit from the Oldshoes' guide on SimCity 4. I also used to watch some LPs of Skylines to get ideas, but it's been a while. Check out Flux's Rhinestone Island or something similar in detail.

If all else fails and you just want to have some fun, get No Problem and don't let anything despawn or break the city.

>>387704539
thing about shitty shylines is that you can just have infinite tunnels with no repercussions while keeping your above ground stuff look fine

dont worry, its as i expected, thanks anyways, everytime i try to play CS, i want mods, i try to get a minimum and i end up getting 100 mods and it doesnt work, just like bethesda games, will try some real restraint soon,

>>387710557

I got a ton of mileage out of precision engineering
I like move it! and prop precision too
