One of the better cities out there, because it just looks like a real one (Sunken rails, double avenues with parks, etc...)
Amazing job!

how do I resolve the issue of not having enough goods to sell? It seems to make everyone abandon buildings. VERY BAD!

Check your road connections and their traffic from the region to the problematic commercial areas if your city's industry doesn't really support the commerce in your city; check the connections between the city's industry and commerce instead if you have plenty of industry.

Oops, I left the noclip cheat on and accidentally zoned right on top of my roads, with no clipping of course.

has this been posted before? if no, then this guy Drushkey is a traffic engineer in Canada and posted his amazing city with tutorial of traffic flow. if this is old then ignore.

I wonder if it's possible to create ploppable buildings like the Flatiron Building in New York City, or the Shibuya 109 in Shibuya, Tokyo. You know, with roads running alongside it at an angle.

Hmmm... I wonder if my Macbook Pro can't handle my city anymore. Shortly after I reached 42,000, it would slow down to a few frames a second. All settings or low, shadows off.

I guess you can make it so that the building model overhangs the lot, like it was done in Simcity 4.

Oh nvm... raising my resolution from 1600x900 to 1080p fixed the problem

Your city is gorgeous sir. Dat 8 way roundabout is divine.
Thanks for sharing. Not only did reading that improve my future cities public transit and road systems but I think but that guide has enriched my life with a whole new understanding of civil engineering. I will never look at a bus or residential street the same way again. I need to buy my fellow Canuck Drushkey a beer if I ever run into him.

Some civil engineers up in this ho.
Question: What does that tilt amount in the options do?

It controls the depth of field effect when you zoom in on things. I usually turn it off unless i'm taking city porn shots.

Although it has other uses in photography, here it's basically a way to make things look miniature sized. Like you're God looking down on your tiny civilization.
Left one more unique building to unlock that is the 10k sq ft industrial zoning. This will take a while for me.
I only use the SSAO and Post Processing mod for visual enhancement which still runs smoothly. As you said, might be the sunshaft mod.

Yes it is
I know CO have a lot to work on with traffic pathing, fixing the plopable icons, mac workshop asset issues, etc. but imo this is the biggest thing they need to fix. I need to see all the growables in my cities. 8 of each type and size just doesn't give enough variety. I'm not even sure its actually 8...
I was reading a thread on paradox that said there may be buildings and color varieties from CS vanilla that some of us may not have seen because of the growables limit.
I can't wait. I have some Chinese and Japanese low density commercial assets i've been saving.I'm hoping to make a Little Tokyo/Chinatown with a SimCity 4 styled make buildings historical landmarks mod in the near future. Plus all the great looking custom growables towers appearing on the workshop make the wait even harder. I feel like a kid waiting to open his presents on Christmas.
All of my plans to binge-game on C:SL this past week have been utterly quashed by grown-up responsibilities (adult banalities). Go away household repairs. A pox on you family calamities. Been hoping to complete the Export 50-year Challenge Game from Rentahamster's thread, but I've barely reached 20 years so far. Sucks. I can say one thing with authority: this is not a game that lends itself well to playing in half-hour bursts; way too much "okay, so what the hell was I focusing on last time?", not enough capacity for satisfying project conclusions. My Skylining time will most definitely take a further major hit once Pillars comes out too (albeit this being among the most welcome of malfortunes). What I'd give for a Teenager's Weekend right about now.

I think it's awesome that you're taking a stab at it
For everyone else, due to some feedback I've received, I've extended the deadline until next month, so that people can get the new game jitters out of their systems first before they opt into other activities. You can win a free game!

Thanks all, for the praise
I'll put that roundabout on Workshop, as it's quite the fiddly little bastard to build.

If you build the roundabout with a cross in the middle while you put in the spokes, it'll keep its shape better.
It's deliberately not a circle - the parts that go from the 4-lane road are straight roads at 45 degrees. The "side" parts are the only curved roads. This gives it an "eye" shape, rather than a pure circle. You can see the 90 degree corner on the top right of the island in that pic.
This allows the traffic on the 4-lane roads to enter/exit the roundabout at greater speeds.
I see your skills go far beyond Minecraft
What takes weeks in minecraft takes minutes in CSL
so in a completely unanticipated problem with the fire propagation mod it turns out firetrucks don't prioritise geographically close fires, but seem to prioritise based on the order the fires come in
even if the next fire is right next to the one they just finished extinguishing
i anticipate my entire city burning down sometime tonight. Should be good.

I think one of the transport colour line mods has broken

Yeah, my 2500k is also at 4.5GHz, pretty much took no effort compared to my past CPU to OC.
Yeah it didn't boot at all. My PSU is probably the issue here. Oh well. Thinking about upgrading soon anyway
What's your PSU and mobo? If it's prebuilt it's probably the mobo. A 500MHz OC with these CPUs is pretty much nothing.
so i probably need to figure out a better industrial highway offshoot, because the roundabout has some fucking thing where all my traffic stops to let traffic turn in because I can't figure out the traffic logic and it backs up like half a tile
oh and uh when a fire engine stops in the middle of the street the entire district basically shuts down
I'll screenshot my system when I get home. It seems to diffuse traffic very well.
Well here is my attempt at a smaller campus. There needs to be a modular university campus.

Modular buildings in general would be awesome. One of the things SimCity 2013 got right.
I'm at 1680x1050 and yeah, I find the UI to look a bit blurry, hard to read some of the text. Doesn't matter if I turn the ingame AA off.
edit:
That's beautiful man, you may be interested in the Campus Dorm: http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=411735031
Oh that's perfect. Thanks!
I tried making a city of one-way streets but it's impossible to get good service coverage. A crime-filled house could be right next to a police station but will never be visited by police because the car goes the opposite direction. I guess the second best thing to do is to just do it for the industrial section.
Whereas my city is now large enough to bring my (once mighty) work PC to its knees
If I try and do too much in quick succession, the whole computer locks up, with the Skylines music still tinkling along in the background. Only a hard reset fixes it.They really need to fix the mod building thumbnails not showing up in the game. Looking for a specific modded building is such a pain in the ass once you accumulate a bunch of them.
