They look alright to me but they do seem to be done in a rather different art style and yes for $5 I would expect a bit more.

Fish Fry Andy posted:There are art deco buildings available on the workshop, and Feindbild has a good set of Brooklyn/Manhattan buildings too. I do have quite a few buildings that I've collected from the workshop and most of them are great but to a point Barron raises, after a while you get this odd mishmash of mismatched buildings that after a while just don't if together. It's also a pain finding matching utility and civic buildings as the contemporary designs in the base game really begin to stand out when you deviate from that style. Now that I can actually see the pictures I wouldn't say they're terrible but they're still not anything special and not something I'd drop $5 on... to me I can see how they're art deco inspired but they really do look half finished and bland. Yeah, a lot of deco buildings are just unfinished brick or stone or just have a single sold colour but they are have extremely detailed patterns or reliefs and solid lines to help make them pop. Then you have examples like the American Radiator Building and the Eastern Columbia Building that would've been much better inspiration here. Clearly you're not going to be able to fit that much detail on a model since you spend much of the game zoomed out but a few things in that collection look like he just modeled the shape of the building, used the fill function to colour it one colour and painted on some windows. There are no details or textures whatsoever.

Snow is a bit too boring when it doesn't change. Having summer-winter rotations on the other hand would be the tits.

Making my own models is hard and Maya sucks because it's so buggy, but I can't figure out 3DS Max for the life of me despite a ton of tutorials. What's the other website you guys are using to talk about this game? I know there is one, I think.

At what point does the agent limit actually start to diminish the traffic and commuting simulation? I'm just over 100,000 population. Didn't someone mention a mod that gets rid of all the wildlife and frees up a bunch of agents?

There's a few different 'remove seagulls' mods on the workshop, iirc each park spawns 2 seagulls and each counts as an agent in the engine.

I seem to recall the agent limit being 216 = 65.53 (65,000) Apparently if the game ran DX12 we'd see performance boosts with larger cities, among other options they have to improve the long term gameplay. Sadly they seem content with the game the way it is, so don't get your hopes up for any actual core improvements outside of their random superficial expansion packs. Still, managing a 100k population city is fun, even if only 20% of the people can actually move at once.

Anyone remember the old Sim City Classic Berlin 1945 scenario where you load it up and it uses the plane crash disaster all over the city to represent bombs, and you have to rebuild. That was always my favorite.

That was a lot of fun now that I remember it. SC3000 was great. I actually found a mod to play the soundtrack and SC4 soundtrack in Cities, which is pretty cool. Oddly enough, it meshes well with the Cities soundtrack. Btw, does anyone know of a solution to the odd inability for tram tracks to cross rail tracks at grade crossings? It seems really odd that they cant. Also, does anyone know of a roadless tram track asset?(so I can run trams on their own right of way)

so industry happily chugs away without any connection whatsoever to workers? like my industry area has a cargo rail which seems to handle everything, and no road, train or boat connection from residential to industrial, yet everything seems to run smoothly do they just not require workers? did I mod myself stupid somehow?

WhiskeyJuvenile posted:so industry happily chugs away without any connection whatsoever to workers? like my industry area has a cargo rail which seems to handle everything, and no road, train or boat connection from residential to industrial, yet everything seems to run smoothly Nope, workplaces actually don't require workers. A long time ago in a pre-release dev diary they mentioned that industries that actually get their workers arriving successfully get some tiny bonus, but I don't even think that's implemented. Your stuff would all quickly abandon if it actually required people to actually arrive at work because the time is so compressed. It's already bad enough just keeping your industries supplied with materials and shops supplied with goods. I wish they had gone with more realistic trip generation, but then people would complain that their dinky town of 20,000 doesn't need a huge highway and subway system to stay afloat and a huge chunk of the player base just wants tons of traffic to build cool interchanges around, the economics don't really matter so long as there's some cool skyscrapers.

I'm pretty sure that industry does require workers to reach them, but it just takes an absurd amount of time.jadebullet posted:That was a lot of fun now that I remember it. SC3000 was great.

The game ships with tram only tram tracks, you should be able to find them under the transportation -> tram tab.

Workers visiting a factory is supposed to give a buff to goods created, which is what is directly taxed. I don't think its big enough to measure if its even implemented. Cims seem to just exist to clog your roads. Making them live in bus stations for years at a time makes your city run better because it leaves more room on the roads for trucks, which the simulation actually cares about.

Ugh, so I just loaded up the game and for some reason I am getting some massive lag. If I don't move the camera, everything runs fine, but as soon as I try moving the camera, there is about a 1 second input lag and my framerates plummet. It was working fine before, very smooth, and this just started when I loaded up today. The only thing I added was some trains, some trams and tram stops, and the realistic vehicle speed mod. Does anyone know what could eb causing this?

They need workers as a statistic but not as a physical com driving there. That system can sometimes take a long time to update leading to confusion and superstition.

WhiskeyJuvenile posted:Speaking of which, I can't get cargo trains working without clogging roads Ir's been a while since I played, but the main solution to unloading trains in a timely manner required a 1 way road feeding into the train station, set up so that trucks didn't have to turn into oncoming traffic to get into the station. You'll still have a road clogging number of tractor trailers to contend with, but the main thing is to keep them off the main roads when loading/unloading and setting your roads up in such a way that no one was turning into traffic and thereby holding up their lane while waiting.
