I would love for a city building game to recognize land value correctly i.e. waterfront, hilltop and downtown proximity, as opposed to "how many playgrounds are nearby". I bet it could be modded.

Didn't one of the older Sim Cities recognize this? Or at least "Higher = better" as far as land value?

Stumbled upon something that made me really appreciate the scale of the game:


:stare: That might not be curvy, but I wish I had the traffic wizardry knowhow to make something like that.

It helps that it's very low density. Look at all the greenspace in each block.

This is something I need to work on, letting my space OCD go. Not every square needs something on it. It's totally possible to max the population with lots of greenspace...

Now I want a mod that turns abandoned properties in low- or un-policed zones into revenue++ crime+ generating industrial sites that soak up neighboring badness like a sponge. The idea of intentionally allowing crime to flourish in certain areas for the greater public/economic health of the city gives me dystopian wood.

Easter Egg: Name your neighborhood "Hamsterdam"

The station has to be at least as long as the longest train

This was really all I wanted as an improvement over SC4. Trying to recreate Manhattan and having the LIRR rail lines/BQE on a bridge over the East River destroyed ~my immersion~ so now I can actually run tunnels under the river! Now all I need is a Manhattan map and to learn how to traffic :downs:

Is there a map pack (or are there some goon suggested maps like what Fish Fry just posted) that's got a little more character than the default maps, but not mountains/islands everywhere? I feel like in order to rid myself of the brutalist grid style, I need some windy rivers/forest/small hills to create some differently-shaped neighborhoods and go with a more organic flow. The default maps are nice, but a wide open flat area just screams to me "Grid industry here!" "Grid residential here!" "Separate with a highway!" "Do it again down the road!"

I wish there was some kind of mod that gives you tools for aligning any kind of road and whatnot to each other. The inner sperg in me flips out whenever I find Highways where the opposite lanes aren't going parallel to each other, or curves that aren't smooth all the way through.

There are a lot of parkways in the northeast that are just like this, though. I never really noticed it until after I started playing Cities, but I've been on parkways where there will be times where you can't even SEE the oncoming side due to differences in elevation, hills, one side making a really wide bend with forest in the middle, etc.

But yeah, in-game I sperg over that as well...
