skylines

whole reason i don't play that game is because i just know my cities would look like shit

>>387825676
It only looks nice to you because there are highrises everywhere. That city is absolute shit and must have been built with unlimited money.

If you build start with grids then it's near impossible to have your city look like shit. Then you can try building more curved roads in a suburban neighborhood

>>387825676
This city doesn't look nice at all

It's impossible to build good looking small towns in CS because there aren't proper rural areas. Just keep building, it might eventually look good

You need to turn that shoreline into a park by planting some trees and building some paths. Also fix that river

>>387827417
Start over then and build a city you can expand on. The way your main road just loops around in that pic looks like shit. It looks more suitable to be a town.

I'd recommend creating a couple straight arterial roads to start with and expanding off of that. Keep road hierarchy in mind and try creating distinguishable neighborhoods / districts.

>>387827937
meh. it's fun until you realize that your city will eventually generate infinite money and there's zero challenge to the game. so I'd say the early game is fun, when you actually have to bother with taxes and setting up your infrastructure.

>>387825676
Fuck this game, only literal architects can build good cities.

Is there a pack for commietown?

How much of a challege would it be to attempt to recreate a real life city - or at least just the downtown portion? I'm thinking about getting CS - how limited is the game in what you can really do?

>>387828439

there are hundres of commie assets on workshop.

>>387828328
fuck off stalin

>>387827937
It's fun once you git gud. It's not a steep learning curve or anything you just have to be able to plan well and know what looks good. You can still be successful with a shitty looking city but I like trying to make it look good and plan things logically.

For me the most fun part is trying to figure out transportation and lessen traffic congestion because it's a never ending puzzle as you expand your city.

>>387828328
I think it's shit desu.

>>387825676
No matter how hard I try, mine always end up looking like L.A.

>>387828560
Was wondering if you where using a specific pack, looks neat, even the shitty walls.

>>387827194
boring

How can you tell which fucking building leveled up after you get the notification? I don't know which little shitty residental house just leveled up and there's no indicator

You fell too hard for the MUH CURVED ROADS meme that yurocucks peddle.

You need some curves, but it shouldn't just be random, haphazard garbage like you have there.

>>387828328
t. someone who doesnt actually live in commieblock hell
grid system doesn't really work like that, there are no roads surrounding every single bulding, typically 2-8 buildings have yard(s) between them with small roads in them, commieblocks themselves are surrounded by medium or large sized roads, usually medium sized roads that all lead to a bigger road or a highway circle surrounding the city, multiple highway circles if city is very big

Sacramento looks like when someone sets out to make a non grid city in CS and ends up having every road wavy for no other reason than for them to not be straight

so I guess new york gets a pass for all of its sky scrapers and the like but the others are still shit

Why can't I make cozy roundabouts like this in Skylines?

>>387830339
Roundabouts are fine. Mini roundabouts on the other hand like in that image are fucking cancer, there's not enough leeway so that people can properly judge if another person is going to stop, regardless of the give way to the right rule.

>>387830289

They chose to use suburbs in Sacramento rather than the actual downtown area, which is just a simple grid like Portland or SF

I've been to Tunisia a couple of years back and they are even more crazy about their roundabouts than brits. They try to turn any crossroad they can into a roundabout even when all the traffic in gets amounts to one guy on a bike every 10 minutes.

There's no way you would be this poor if you got the proper refunds from deleting roads.

A couple I think. I'm learning how to use the mod that lets you create sharp intersections, it's somewhat confusing. I tried to fix some of the intersections a couple of times, I think they turned out ok.
