Apparently they are for the regular theme. No screenshots though.

The quality on a lot of those buildings seems a slight step up. Can't quite place my finger on it, but they're nice. Make me more than ever want to figure out these style-district mods so I can use both sets.

I haven't measured in recent patches, but before the european building patch I clocked one pedestrian traveling over 2km from door to door using pedestrian walkways.

BigRed0427: Mar 23, 2007; There's no one I'd rather be than me.

So I think my city has hit the point where I can start laying down some HD Residential zones. But when I try to zone over existing houses nothing happens. Do I need to do something first or accomplish something first to go from low rez to high rez?

# ? Jul 1, 2015 20:44

Rezoning in this game requires a bulldozer and starting over for that area. There's no smooth upgrade.

Is there a collection of "stock-alike" buildings on the Steam Workshop somewhere? I just got this, and before I play I want to load up on buildings of a similar style to stock. My main concern is building variety from what I've seen.

While we're on the subject, what mods are pretty much considered mandatory?

Just select high density, use right click to dezone and left to zone with HD.

Adding a lot of assets can seriously hinder performance. I went wild at one point and installed like 100 growables and it tanked my fps even though I have a pretty solid computer. Not everyone seems to have this issue though so YMMV.

Were you making sure to avoid the cases where a single building is like 20 megs?

Interesting. Never really considered scale in this game that much, but 2km really isn't that far IRL. 25 minute walk.

If you use the dezone tool (or right click with the other zone tools) that will dezone the area. Once you rezone it as high density, the buildings will go away naturally and rebuild as high density. Much friendlier than bulldozing.

# ? Jul 1, 2015 22:58

xzzy: Mar 5, 2009

As far as the inhabitants are concerned it's exactly the same as bulldozing, as the new structures start out at level 0 and no tenants.

You can walk across most midsize European capitals in about an hour. Even mega capitals like London and Paris, the main inner loop around the historical city center is less than 10 miles (16km, or 8 game squares)in Diameter. Rome's city center is about 2.5 miles or 4km. Rome is so compact you might run across the next subway station looking for the first one if you miss the intersection.

It's been awhile and I want to play some more. Is there a list of recommended mods?

Alkydere: Jun 7, 2010; Capitol: A building or complex of buildings in which any legislature meets.
Capital: A city designated as a legislative seat by the government or some other authority, often the city in which the government is located; otherwise the most important city within a country or a subdivision of it.

It's not that big in real life, but in this game it's kinda huge. Pedestrian walkways really should be encouraged because each person walking to work is one less person clogging up your roads.

It's great seeing people walk across massive half-kilometer bridges to get to work.

Anything growable by Gula (he was one of the artists on Sim lovely and whatever other issues that shitshow had it was loving gorgeous). Also the extended public transit UI. Also, Fishy Fry Andy/Giggly's maps.

Yep, that's the one. Like I said, all my subsequent flights are taking off fine. Probably a timing issue with laying down additional runway while a flight is in-progress. I didn't pause while adding the extra runways in.
