I'm so pleased. Thin Privilege is doing the lord's work here. I love the depressing park.

Depressing park doesn't have nearly enough random metal pipes extending from the ground into nowhere for my taste. Great to see The Motherland Calls there!

This is the view out my aunt's window. Random pipes in depressing grass spotted. Power plant looks pretty similar too.

I know, I wish I knew how to make 3D stuff to import into the game  The carousel should also be way bigger and rusted.I also really want to get some garages (like Murka's) as props so I can make a big depressing parking area for even more authenticity. mutata posted:That reminds me..

Chernobyl? I don't understand how people can live in cities like that. What does she do for oxygen when the wind shifts in her direction?

Just Kiev in winter, it's not bad in not-winter. That specific view is just a hilariously perfect post-soviet industrial delight though. Packs of feral dogs too. The big industrial thing in the background is a local steam heating plant, just like in the expansion! PS they drive just like in the dash cam videos too! I sometimes wish there was some sort of traffic safety mechanic in the game where really bad unsafe designs and junctions would actually cause accidents, and traffic lights actually had a use in that they created safer intersections. But unless handled perfectly it would be frustrating to deal with, so perfect self driving AI cars it is.

 Also, resident modder superstars, could someone please build some proper specialized industry assets? Trying to build good looking oil industry here, but there are exactly zero refineries in the workshop, only storage tanks.

quote:Players should be formally informed that they can perform mild terraforming on their cities’ formations, to reform former landforms into malformed formats. Canals and quays will also be available for construction, so that Paradox can officially say they have handed over the quays to the city. These puns are too powerful for me.

Friction posted:That indeed is one depressing park. Good job. Put a parking lot right next to it for maximum effect. Maybe with a crowd spot for slav squat action. I did one better and put depressing Russian garages next to it.  (lovely photoshop because I realized a nice building snuck in somehow. gonna bulldoze that fucker). And you're right, I DO need a plaza for squatting. I also realized I need a marketplace (рынок) for the selling of illegal goods. I really need to learn 3D better cause there's nothing on workshop for that. e: I wish you could make your cims wear adidas, also fur hats.

Canals will get me back into this game, I've wanted them since day 1 and I haven't much liked the mods I've seen so far. Hopefully they'll include some stock sea-walls as well.

I'm really excited for these additions, it's gonna be great to be able to do shorefronts and stuff with ease instead of the ridiculously finicky poo poo we've been dealing with through mods in this and SC4 all these years.

What's the difference between the Building Themes mod and the District Styles feature in the game? They sound like they do the same thing, and I'm not sure if one is more useful / usable / convenient than the other.

Does anyone know what "weeks" translates to when you're using the rush hour mod? (I'm pretty sure it doesn't mean actual weeks since that would be an insanely long time, I guess they just weren't able to change the text in the parts of the game that measure time in weeks, like loans and unique unlocks, is that right?)

Ofaloaf posted:Building Themes is a hell of a lot less kludgey than the game's own District Styles feature. Themes lets you add and remove buildings on the fly in-game, rather than having to fiddle with assets in the content manager from the main menu. It also gives you more information about the assets you're adding to a theme, including a render of the buildings, like so: Thanks! That's exactly the information I was looking for. I'll grab Building Themes and not bother messing with the District Styles stuff. Any good theme sets that you'd recommend?

Isn't a week in CS on the order of several seconds (10-15) at the highest speed? Days go by quite fast in game. The Day/Night cycle has nothing to do with actual days.

Rush hour changes the clock so it's an actual hour:minute clock that syncs with the day/night cycle. So a single day takes a long time. But for the purposes of measuring loan duration and the like, it seems the passage of weeks is unchanged. So I guess my question is what's the ratio of day/night cycles to weeks?

I think I'm going to try to make a model train building based on a skylines building, maybe it put a smile on someone at CO's face to combine these things.

Is that even a thing in the game yet? Oh you poor thing I wonder if anyone's actually figuring out how to mod in seasons. Snow-on-roofs is a dynamic thing applied to assets, so I still don't understand why it wasn't season based from the outset honestly.
