Cities: Skylines is a modern take on the classic city simulation. The game introduces new game play elements to realize the thrill and hardships of creating and maintaining a real city whilst expanding on some well-established tropes of the city building experience.

From the makers of the Cities in Motion franchise, the game boasts a fully realized transport system. It also includes the ability to mod the game to suit your play style as a fine counter balance to the layered and challenging simulation. You’re only limited by your imagination, so take control and reach for the sky!

Due to complaints about parks required to upgrade/appease industry, I've made some suitable parks for industrial locales, as you can see here and here.

Blender isn't any worse than any other package. Any complex piece of software is going to be intimidating to learn.

I've been using Blender for 12 or so years, and happy to answer questions in the IRC. irc.synirc.org #skylines

I've got most of the kinks worked out of this:



Should be slapping it on the Workshop tommorow.

Keep in mind 3DS max is super old and crash prone and is a piece of poo poo (I model everything with it) I want to throw out of my house. Save often.

Oh, drat. Yeah no, I just started looking into blender too, and well: that interface is a cliff I still have to learn. One day... one day... if you find something, feel free to post for any wanna be modder here, I'm sure we'd all aprreciate (Blender, for those that don't know, is a free to get modeling application that's good depending on who you ask. I've seen promising renders).

Here is the article: http://www.rockpapershotgun.com/2015/04/03/mods-maxis-and-forward-motion-cities-skylines-interview/

quote:

Hallikainen: We had a meeting about feedback for players. The team were talking about the newspapers in the old Sim City games. I wasn’t really a part of that meeting, I was just walking by and we were in an open office at that point. And I jumped into the conversation – (adopts exaggerated voice) “Think about it, we’re in the 21st century! Everyone talks online. How about we have this twitter feed, with a bird that’s sitting there on your screen. And maybe call it Chirps! And it could be a Chirper!”

That’s where it started. To be honest, I was so devastated that people hate the Chirp. I was so excited (laughs)! It was pretty much the only creative input I had in the game and everybody hated it. This proves that CEOs should have no input in games EVER.

But then again we decided that since there are two people who love Chirper, we will own it. I wrote on the Paradox forums that I was to blame, that it was all my fault., and that I’d decided it would stay. There was a huge uproar, people were saying “You don’t listen to feedback, you suck, you’re as bad as EA!”

And I thought, well now it’s definitely not going to go away. If I have something that I had input on, in the game, I’m going to stick with it. And now I have a Chirper t-shirt that says “Give me a chance”. But the designers are probably saying, “Let’s never listen to Mariina again.”

It was weird to see people being so passionate about this one bird in the game though. Nobody reads newspapers anymore – it had to be contemporary and I thought it was a really good idea! Maybe it’s overuse of hashtags. It’s like an idea of Twitter written by an old person. I never use Twitter – I have a Facebook page because when I joined the company the other guys forced me to join Facebook. I am really bad at social media though because I have nothing interesting to say. Just, “Here’s a picture of my horse. Look at it.” That’s about it.

So when I started to say, “let’s do this twitter feed with #mayorrocks or #mayorsucks'”, I thought that’s how people spoke on twitter. I thought that was cool!

This feels like it needs OP'd in big lights because its something other player's have been headpalming over when you mention it. I will never, EVER put down a road properly. Ever.

Is there a way to figure out what type of lot a building is, instead of 'The Briar Rose Residence' for instance?

I have a building downloaded that's glitching badly on LoD. When I zoom out, the low detail model is like 4 times the size and clips through neighbouring buildings.

There should be a mod for that

With the thread title being "you should purchase this game, you won't regret this" I'm pretty sad. I own a Venue 8 pro and a Dell laptop--both of which are under the min. system requirements--so I imagine that I won't be able to run this game, meaning I will regret the purchase. Also, Intel Integrated Graphics aren't supported, so I guess even if my processors were faster I still would be hosed.

Even though the game looks pretty, I'm surprised that a city building game is intense enough that my lame computers can't run it. Has anyone had luck with running the game on a less-than-optimal system?
