is there a way to build lakes in skylines? I dug out a really cute one for my town but it always dries out. builing a canal into it just flooded my city and trying to pump water into it just filled it with poop and made everyone leave my city.

Try Extra Landscaping Tools.

>>159407685
Hmm I'm not too sure friendo, it just occured to me that I've never made a lake that wasn't part of a river.

The lake shouldn't dry out if it is below sea level, though. So you should be able to make one as long as it is somewhere that the land is not much higher than the coast.

Btw you can use the "set water to sea level" option that comes with the Extra Landscaping Tools mod to easily fill the lake.

>>159408125
Do you mean that he can create a water source? I thought this way the lake would continue filling until it overflows and floods everything.

>>159408193
i dug it down to the center of the earth and it still seems to dry out

>>159408438
Are you perhaps playing on a map where the water level is set to zero? You can change this with the Extra Landscaping Tools mod. Otherwise.. Iunno

I just tried it out. I dug a hole, put in the water source and after a little time I removed it. After a couple of minutes it seems to me that the water remained there without the source, so it works.

I added a little creek and connected the train line. I'm not sure if I like the tracks going straight over the creek like that, I might redo it and make the tracks follow the side of the hill more tightly.

Also connected this area to the regional interchange (left). I want to start working on the residential suburb around this connection, but I think I want to redo the industrial area (bottom left) that borders the suburb. Probably won't get around to it for a while because I don't have much inspiration at the moment.

Might move on to the other side of the highway and zone some housing on the side of the hill.

Bumpan.

How can I make this beachfront more aesthetic?

>>159414960
Nice job so far, the city part is looking good. I would try making the beach skinnier, and maybe have the shoreline follow a straight(ish) line.

Also try adding some more concrete, so the whole beach is bordered by a walkway, maybe some car parks as well.

Or you could go road>grass>walkway. Make the walkway at the edge of the volleyball courts, and leave the gaps as grass.

I think it could also be interesting to have a bigger park at one of the ends of the beach. Like a few volley ball courts, a skate park and some grass area.

What happened to historical city building games? I want a new Ceasar game.

Wow, looking good anon! Did you try filling the gaps with grass? Also I think you should either fill in more of the under-water area with sand, or trim the sand away so it stops at the shoreline.

In landscaping tools, the last gravelly-looking icon is for sand (left click to paint, right click to remove)

Cities are not people. But, like people, cities have their own personalities: in some cases one city has many different personalities -- there are a dozen Londons, a crowd of different New Yorks.

A city is a collection of lives and buildings, and it has identity and personality. Cities exist in location, and in time.

There are good cities -- the ones that welcome you, that seem to care about you, that seem pleased you're in them. There are indifferent cities -- the ones that honestly don't care if you're there or not; cities with their own agendas, the ones that ignore people. There are cities gone bad, and there are places in otherwise healthy cities as rotten and maggoty as windfall apples. There are even cities that seem lost -- some, lacking a centre, feel like they would be happier being elsewhere, somewhere smaller, somewhere easier to understand.

Some cities spread, like cancers or B-movie slime monsters, devouring all in their way, absorbing towns and villages, swallowing boroughs and hamlets, transmuting into boundless conurbations. Other cities shrink -- once prosperous areas empty and fail: buildings empty, windows are boarded up, people leave, and sometimes they cannot even tell you why.

Occasionally I idle time away by wondering what cities would be like, were they people. Manhattan is, in my head, fast-talking, untrusting, well-dressed but unshaven. London is huge and confused. Paris is elegant and attractive, older than she looks. San Francisco is crazy, but harmless, and very friendly.

>>159422931
(2/2)

It's a foolish game: cities aren't people.

Cities exist in location, and they exist in time. Cities accumulate their personalities as time goes by. Manhattan remembers when it was unfashionable farmland. Athens remembers the days when there were those who considered themselves Athenians. There are cities that remember being villages. Other cities -- currently bland, devoid of personality -- are prepared to wait until they have history. Few cities are proud: they know that it's all too often a happy accident, a mere geographical fluke that they exist at all -- a wide harbour, a mountain pass, the confluence of two rivers.

At present, cities stay where they are.

For now cities sleep.

But there are rumblings. Things change. And what if, tomorrow, cities woke, and went walking? If Tokyo engulfed your town? If Vienna came striding over the hill toward you? If the city you inhabit today just upped and left, and you woke tomorrow wrapped in a thin blanket on an empty plain, where Detroit once stood, or Sydney, or Moscow?

Don't ever take a city for granted.

After all, it is bigger than you are; it is older; and it has learned how to wait...

This is an island from the first city I ever bothered to take screen shots of. A six lane highway comes in from the mainland, drops most of its lanes at the CBD, drops some more for the residential part, and continues onto another small island which is designated as a port.

Well Cities: Skylines is probably at the frontier of building in terms of both realism and freedom. Great if you like to manage traffic, lots of mods to improve roads and add buildings. Fairly difficult to get a handle on the controls, though.

Sim City 4 was great, though I could never go back after playing Skylines. Grid-based system makes planning and building easier.

Or just play true island map with only ports/harbors and air port. May need to use unlock all at first to get the harbor. People may also move in very slowly at first this way.
