So why the hate for Cities X(X)L?
>>127147726
Memory leaks? Poor optimization?
bump ffs
>>127147875
>bump
>at page 1
Wot?
>>127147943
for some reason i had it set to sort catalogue by number of replies and didnt realiselel [/spoiler[
>>127147726
They renamed and resold the same game for how many years now? Also they never fixed bug like memory leaks and it also lags a proper optimization.
Also what bugs me is that is was build around a multiplayer mode, which made it more of a Society than a Simcity.
>>127152464
Beautiful.

I'm using this map

With all the mods and texture replacers listed on that page

Somewhere a bald eagle named "Small Government" sheds a tear
I'm new to Cities
What are some essential mods and assets I should install? I've read the guide but there doesn't seem to be a definitive list.
>>127155956
Read the OP. "basic mods"
>>127156317
Thanks.
Should I be trying to completely avoid having traffic lights? It seems impossible
Also is it worth playing the game properly and having to unlock new roads etc?
>>127157996

Didn't meant to quote
Motherfucker, why can't I make a 4 way intersection with highway onramps to a raised highway. I've been trying for 30 minutes, but it always gives me "slope too steep" when I try and connect the other onramp.
>>127159367
Finally solved it. I need to add a 2x1 onramp on flat ground on either side of the intersection, then I can finally connect it to the highway on either side with no issues.
>>127158154
It is. Make your first cities without cheats.
And yes, try having as few traffic light as possible. You can use this pic to see when you get traffic lights when using vanilla roads.
>>127160441
Fixed some 2-lane roads' directions.
First try.
Hows it looking
>>127161403
That intersection in the middle will quickly turn into the greasy asscrack of this village
How do I not build ugly spread out pieces of shit in Skylines?
How is that new Anno game?
Seems to be taking a lot of flak on the steam reviews
>>127161403
That will get you massive traffic jams and especially in the middle will be a disaster
>>127162823
just ignore the demands of the people
I have a city that has 3k people and is screaming for more houses but I won't build them
so i installed a berlin building theme because i wanted a little germany district
i just planted all my high density residential buildings and they all have this german theme i downloaded but i have default theme set for the district
is this a known bug
>>127159367
This actually turned out to be a horrible idea. It was right next to my industrial zone, and traffic got way way worse. Looked neat, but worse traffic.
So has anybody ever tried recreating their city in [preferred /cbg/ game]?
I've been thinking of it since the downtown and main city area is pretty simple, but I don't know if that's TOO autistic.
>>127168637
It is kinda autistic, yeah.
>>127167773
Did you activate the district style in the options menu?
In Cities, does higher density residential zones house only higher educated cims? Or do they house anybody? Does the lower procreation in high density residential actually factor into anything?
>>127173038
They contain anybody but they do level with the education of the cims.
What next?
So I just noticed that Cities: Skylines was developed by Paradox and not EA, is it worth apirate? I'm into their other games.
>>127180429
luxury condos
>>127180468yes
>>127180468
Yeah. I would dare say it's even worth buying if there's a discount.
>>127184298
overdue for a visit from the forestry service
Hey /cbg/ have you ever come across a city builder that had any kind of autoplay mode?
Maybe it's seasonal depression or something but I just can't be asked to actually man the controls of a city builder/manager right now, but would really enjoy just siting back and watching a city get made/managed.
If that's not a thing that you've heard of then have you any suggestions on documentaries related to urban design or city/ infrastructure projects?
>>127184958
i think what you're looking for might be a let's play on youtube
sweet mercy i just installed cities skylines today and my hours played says 9 hours. i took a break and did some dishes but now i want to go back in and set up a metro system in my city before i go to bed.
help
>>127185768
as long as you sit still and don't move much aside from the mouse, that's just as good as sleep
