    It is mostly very realistic. So it makes sense that the game is being used to solve real life problems. The main problem the game doesn't go into is induced demand: Public transport is less busy or roads don't have traffic jams, so people use public transport or roads more. Simcity 2000 was used to elect a mayor in Poland

    SimCity 2013 and Cities XXL (and its prior releases) both have curved roads but fall down in other parts of the game, so no thats not it. Also contrast that with the prior king.. SimCity 4 which is considered better than the aforementioned games by a lot yet lacks curved roads (though you can get them sort of using mods)

    I recently uninstalled every mod and went right back to bare bones vanilla for that true 'out of the box' experience in anticipation of CS2, and wow yeah, although it's had an amazing run CS is certainly showing its age now. Going from mods back to vanilla is kinda like going back to Sim City 4 with better graphics. I was simply unprepared to remind myself of just how bad the traffic AI and auto lane management are without mods. TMPE is almost essential at this point and without Node Controller making interesting looking train lines and highways elevated on embankments or dropped into cuttings is just painful! Planning out the perfect grid of residential streets went so wrong. It was supposed to be a low income working class area but the perfectly paved and lined roads paired with the 4x4 villas made my slum area look like Beverly Hills. Even patiently zoning 1x3 lots ended in me having row after row of luxury town houses. With mods that area would be row after row of terrace housing with on-street parking for mile after mile, but in vanilla it's row after row of luxury detached housing with driveways. The game will instinctively always try to build 4x4 lots wherever possibly and seeing an entire city made of 4x4 buildings gets stale very quickly. Hopefully we've already had a glimpse of what's to come in CS2 as there are some massive buildings in the CS DLC, like the university campus, which has a range of some big buildings which need an entire block dedicated to each one. Now if we can just get some plopable big block housing, commercial and office buildings it'd be perfect. The Industries DLC also gives us some huge factories and warehouses, which are again so much better than the typical 4x4 buildings taking up our industrial areas. I'm excited for CS2 but I have a huge list of things that need to be included from day 1 to make it a good enough sequel. If it fails to deliver the equivalent of CS + DLC at launch, I can't see very many players abandoning their mod lists to play it. Here's hoping!

    Going back from something better, more complex surely can feel like a downgrade, but in the game defense I have to say I am playing vanilla with 80% of DLC (+"move it") and im still pretty happy with it. :) I only started early last year, played around 400 hours and I still love this game. I think you're being too harsh, considering how much better comparing to SimCity it is and the whole fact that mods are openly supported and help you customise the game. I only play on my macbook air, so all those extras build in the game would not neccessarly help me enjoy game more if it couldnt run at all. To each their own!

Sometimes I like to let my cities run autonomously while I’m doing other things. I’ve built cities so efficient and thriving in this sim that I’ve even considered changing career paths and getting into city planning and civil engineering. (that would require money I don’t have though lol). Truly a gem, 10/10. Cities Skylines is the GOAT!

    You forgot to mention CitiesXL. I genuinely liked that game, it had cool ideas, but Cities Skylines came out and was everything Simcity fans of the previous 2 decades asked for, but that EA refused to deliver. The ongoing DLC and mod support was icing on the cake. At the time, I honestly thought a new CitiesXL game would come out and build on the foundation they had started, but it never happened. Skylines came out and for almost 10 years I haven't looked back.

    I wouldn’t say the game was the only city-builder game other than SimCity at the time of its release. I remember there were a couple of actual city-builder games released between SimCity and Cities Skylines that saw some modicum of success. Games like Cities XL. I remember one other game that was even less popular than Cities XL, but I can’t remember what it was. Cities Skylines was however, the first good fully-built true city-builder to come out after the disaster that was simcity 5. It also came out around when Cities XXL was released which according to reviews was just Cities XL with maybe some performance updates slapped with a new title and sold for $20. So it did pretty poorly.

My only concern with Skylines 2 is overall map size with the companies catering to consoles I just hope its still huge!(I unlock all tiles) thankfully modders exist so either way might just be a matter of time.

    Thats the type of success you can have when you build a really great game to start off with, but understand the value of the community. They embraced modders, they embraced content creators and constantly show them off on their socials and work closely with the community to add new additions to the game that people actually want and ask for. They get their creators involved in building content creator packs, they listen to the fans and players about everything including how to make new packs and additions worth buying and so much more. By far the most thourough, expansive city builder with really unlimited potential.

    Cities: Skylines is amazing for the fact that it's taught someone like me, who used to be practically inept when it came to city infrastructure, at least a thing or two about decent infrastructure. I find myself critiquing and praising certain roadway systems or the use of certain connections. It even taught me that there are certain regulations for zoning, such as residental or commercial. I also find myself picking on the people who form a massive line on a road just to go a certain direction. Finally, looking at one of my first cities (Nova City) and my latest city (New Bouroughsberg), I can see just how much I've improved. It's really satisfying to see.

I have since purchased the base game as part of a pack that included various DLC's and numerous add on packs since then, and will purchase all DLC until EOL as and when it becomes compatible with PS5. I also claimed the game via Epic game store but haven't touched it on PC since as I need a GPU for my PC. I'm curious as to how many 'sales' this equates to, I've claimed the game twice as a freebee, but purchased it once. So do my 3 acquisitions count as 3 or 1?

    I have a remark. Simcity (2013) failed not only because of the inability to play offline (it was dropped at a later stage) but mainly because the game was very simplified in its attempts to appeal to a broad audience. For example, previous games from the series such as SimCity 4 were much more complicated which developed a cult-like following to the game despite its limitation (no free camera views, no weird-angled roads).

    As much as I love Cities Skylines, one of its biggest flaws that advocates of walkable cities have pointed out is that the game still ultimately has a car-centric design where everything needs to be connected to a road, you can't build pedestrianised streets and public plazas that connect to those streets, and you can't build mixed-use midrises as the game has a strict residential/commercial zoning division. All of this combines to favour building American-style car-centric cities, and you can't faithfully recreate European-style walkable cities without the use of mods. I thus hope that pedestrianised streets and mixed-use buildings will be a standard feature in Cities Skylines 2.

    CS is pretty much EVERYTHING that SimCity 5 SHOULD HAVE been. That's just fact. The LEAST of which being the fact that not only you can grow your city to 9 times SimCity 5's crappy size (more if you have a powerful enough computer), but the fact that CS DOES NOT require an Internet connection like SimCity does. And before anyone says 'oh but EA and Maxis patched it so you can play it offline', yeah okay that's true. But you STILL have to be on their servers. Kind of defeats the purpose of it being 'offline'. Mariina and her team have done a PHENOMENAL job and cannot WAIT for CS2 to come out.

    not only did EA turn it into online mode, but the gameplay issues led me to abandon it. It was too easy, but at the same time too difficult. the traffic was broken, as even a small city had traffic issues from the get go. Expanding the city was too easy, as it would grow even if you didn't have enough residents to meet commercial and Industrial demand. The specializations were also broken as you could exploit them without trying. To top it all off it seamed that the only way to make your city growth slow was to raise taxes. All in all I got bored with the game because there wasn't a challenge. EA not only caused issues with it being online only but also by dumbing it down. This game was not what Will Wright would have wanted. I bet he plays Cities Skylines in his spare time.

By the looks of the Ultimate edition of CS2 the DLC might be themed around spesific irl cities as the UE has San Fransisco assets. which i think is a way better way of making DLC's then just adding features sometimes seemingly at random in the 1st game

    It's the niche players & content creators that can really show you what the modded game can do. I was following this game since before it came out, coming from City Life, but I skipped on it for many years because of the cartoonish look and ratings of mediocrity due to bugs at launch, but I kept hearing about it once in a while, with random videos popping up as KZread recommendations. Once I found Akruas and his near-future city of Aurelia, and what he was doing with a mod knowingly-wrongly-misnamed as "Procedural Objects" (actually an in-game asset model-manipulating mod), I realized Cities: Skylines was finally the game I had been wishing for to build almost anything I could imagine. It was time for building a future, vertical city, with dense, supertall buildings and flying car in air roads like the movie The 5th Element or the planet of Coruscant in Star Wars. And so I bought it and started streaming and making KZread videos with it a couple years back. Being so open to modding to be able to be such a highly flexible sandbox like this is incredible. I build my vertical city utopian project from the sci-fi universe I'm developing. @Dolomite13Gaming makes a space station with the ground replaced as a green screen to replace with a space background. @samuelcortes6096 makes Hot Wheels tracks and floating cities on the rocks of Avatar's Pandora. @atys Makes a sky and air steampunkish storytelling series. We all use animation mods too, and some us even build spaceships in the game. Modded C:S is currently at an unprecedented (AFAIK) level of capacity for creative freedom.
