The BEST MODS in Cities Skylines 2

Ойындар

Cities Skylines 2 MODS (and how to install mods in Cities 2) are the focus today, delivering where the base game does not. From extended road tools like quays and tunnels, to plopping mature trees row upon row, here are 8 great mods you need to try in Cities Skylines II. From UI mod overhauls and modded improvements like city monitor and extended tool tips, to gameplay balancing mods like economy fixer - there should be something for everyone on this list! Here are some of the best Cities Skylines 2 mods (you can play right now!)
HOW TO INSTALL MODS IN CITIES SKYLINES 2:
At the time of producing this video, mods are only available through 3rd party sources. Official mod support is expected to launch in 2024.
In the meantime, I used the Thunderstore Launcher & their website (links below) to install mods, and then launch Cities Skylines 2.
Other providers include: Nexus Mods (notably), citiesskylines2mods, and modscities 2, r2modman. Mods can be manually installed, or auto-installed (I used Thunderstore).
HOW TO PLAY MODS IN CITIES SKYLINES 2:
After you've installed them, manually or automatically through a third party you can generally mix and match them all together. A fresh save would be the safest way to play, but most broken things can be deleted and replaced if something does go wrong.
I used Thunderstore Launcher, after using the "Install with Mod Manger" option via their website. Then I launched the game through the launcher (not Steam directly), after creating a mod playlist and enabling my chosen 8.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Mods are a use-at-your-own-risk option, supplied through 3rd party providers and not officially by Paradox Mods (as of December 2023). Download and use that at your own risk. I can't vouch for the validity of any mod provider.

    Thank you for this info, makes the game a lot better. There are some new mods I came across, RealisticDensity, Cities2Mods RenterAndLandValuePolicy or LandValueOverhaul (is similar to the Cities2Mods one), and Info Loom which does look really interesting.

    So basically it appears that Colossal Failure released their game completely broken with the likely expectation that modders would save their game for free. It's unethical at best.

    All these mods were supposed to be in the base game! Or at least released within a few weeks after the game was released. And finally Paradox could hire these modders to expedite the updates.

    I would like a mod test fix de road "frontiers", this is very buggy, where one start and ends... and cant be fixed as in CS1 as far as I looked out. And, of course, multi-plataform metro stations... I can't believe that isn't (again) in base game, how can you build a efficient transport network without transfer stations.

    I would like to try the first person mod. It reminds me of streets of simcity/sim-comter, that you could use sc2000 cities and play on it. It would be great that one of future dlc they provide this, with the possibility to create "mission packs" or visit other peoples cities. sc4 had an expansion that you could drive and have some missions on the city. It would be great something of this stile on cs2.

    *Question: Is there a "Node manager" yet?* _(to be able to move nodes again)_ *Question: Is there a "Traffic manager" yet?* _(to be able to correctly set up traffic lights and signage for intersections)_ *Question: Is there a mod that fixes zoning yet?* _(I'm just not willing to play when a perfect square on flat terrain results in broken zoning... no matter the lame excuses.)_ I'm so sick of Collossal dis-Order that I just can't even be bothered checking what mods exist. This is the first time I've checked in on the progress on this dumpster fire since release. The "Ducks in a row" seems great... the rest is just... meh... so secondary on my list of critical mods.

    I'll be waiting for official modding support, mainly because the game is too graphics heavy for my GTX1660Super card, so adding more strain is not really an enjoyable option. Hope I can afford a GPU upgrade by the time modding support is added.

    ​@guanhuaxu364 yes there is, because the functionality of that mod is not available in the vanilla road tools. You can't specify which lanes go where, you can't create timed traffic lights, you can't alter road markings, you can't set speed limits - all of these have already been deemed essential by the community because TMPE was a Top 10 Most Popular mod on Steam for CS1 since it was first uploaded. I don't think you know what you're talking about.
