*starts to wonder if someone has made a mod that deemphasizes deathcare (so cemeteries and crematoriums only provide the service and land value boost)*
Anyone else taking their sweet time building their city? I believe I haven't went with 3x speed yet! I just enjoy looking at all the traffic going round the city.... before you know it 2 hours passes by and at best one block was completed....
Here is one area that took me two hours.... (they highway exits and the road south of it)

Great selection. I went on a shopping spree myself after seeing your list.
lol my highway is gonna be a race track by the end of this.

The original Maxis studio being shut down still kind of hurts my heart right now.

Will Wright's start-up is in nearby Berkeley at least. He's doing some experimental augmented reality/social thing now though.

It was going pretty well for my first city until my landfill sights and cemeteries began to fill up. Due to a combination bad placement and emptying all of the sites at the same time, people began to get sick and die.
By this time it was already too late. I got into debt and there was no demand for any buildings. Tax relief only made the debt worse.
Iv'e learnt a lot of do's and don'ts. Back to the drawing board I go.

A person from the Skylines forum made a mod to fix the commercial calculation bug.

It's probably because you had a growth spurt about 6 years ago, and just now all of your seniors died at the same time. They really need to stagger deaths.
Just info, I guess. As far as I can tell, what kind of job doesn't affect happiness. As far as I can tell, more educated always means more happy.
I can't really tell by your pic, but it seems like your industrial trucks might be interfering with the rest of your traffic. Some suggestions:
Analyze the paths your trucks take. Build an expressway that allows them to bypass everything else either on their way, on their way back, or both. Hopefully your solution involves the least amount of traffic lights possible.
This could take the form of an elevated on ramp, or maybe something like a frontage road.
Also, put in some buses if you haven't already.
Or, you can post up your save, and I'll take a look and fix it, and then tell you what I did
Thanks man. I'll try to make a dedicated ramp for trucks on that end and slowly make $120K to expand south.
I love the struggle and threat of total destruction if I move too fast or spend too much.

Thank you for the curated list, Toma. I noticed Skylines' community manager made his own lists:
Moo's Collection: I Want It All
Moo's Collection: Mods & Functionality
Moo's Collection: Crème de la Crème
was just replaying it for 20th anniversary and the dome cities for some reason the way he does the circular zones reminded me of CT future world

We definitely need a thread for mods at this rate. I'm too afraid to start one and become overwhelmed to keep it updated, but a community effort would be great.
Maybe we can make a google doc to copy and paste for OP?
Categorize a template so that we can all add to it or something.
Question: if some buildings are described as "2x2", do I need to put a 2x2 zone down, or can I just fill in the zone completely and watch the game randomly pick an assortment of asset sizes?
I'm guessing I have to do it manually

He's referring to the overworld layout of the future era in Chrono Trigger.
the first dead person in my entire city was in an elementary school :/

Maybe for the challenge thread, we can take someone's fucked up city, and have the challenge be to fix it within 10 game years lol.

I like this. Someone can make a city up to a medium size city and then leave it with problems everywhere. He saves the game at like... Let's say... January 2020 in-game. Then we take it from there and have 10 or 20 years to leave it in the best shape possible.

Has anyone created a mode yet that lists every single namable entity (People, places, animals, vehicles, everrrrrrything) and lets us click to find it in the city? I can't believe that's not built-in. RCT did it so well. C:S could do it so much better.

It would then be a matter of defining and measuring what "best shape possible" is.
Anyone else have any other thoughts?
The mod support is really pumping me up for the longevity of this game.
I would love to see a dynamic weather mod mostly for snow storms that require plows to clear roads, policies that force people to stay home, and increased emergency support deal with trapped citizens. Of course it would put a huge dent into my bank account but I've got millions with nothing to spend it on.
The possibilities!

Yep. With 240 instead of 160 passengers per train, they're real workhorses.
Yes, CiMs are happy to change modes.I followed some commuters around and one guy had the following commute:
Catch a bus to the metro station
Ride the metro two stops to downtown
Get on commuter rail to Lakeside
Ride the Lakeside metro three stops
Walk to job
Should work. I have multiple cargo stations on an outside-connected railway and trains make multiple stops, loading and offloading at each station. Must cut down on trucks because I don't see many of them running between my towns.
Segregate the three types of train (cargo, tourist, commuter) and keep the routes linear.

People will only cross roads at crosswalks, so you'll have to make a raised pedestrian path like in the image I posted above.
Only an elevated walkway will do it.
I want a "Terminus" train station that connects to the road on the narrow end and has 2 (or more!) rail connections on the other. The side-mounted stations are a pain to pla around when they're terminii
Rentahamster
Rodent Whores
Yep. Or like, a tiny road stub to generate a crosswalk. Someone should make a "put crosswalks anywhere" mod.

Try the Photoreal Color Correction mod I linked to a few posts up.
My sense of aesthetics isn't letting me go beyond 20-30k pop before I restart. At one point the game just goes into hyperdrive in terms of micromanagement, I get more lax in my roadbuilding, and eventually grow dissatisfied with the layout and start all over.
Plus, pretty roads apparently aren't efficient roads. Who knew!

Question: How hard would it be to mod something like billboards? What program would I need, and would it be a simple case of taking the existing billboard asset, pasting over a new texture, and then saving it?

So what kind of gameplay expansions do you guys want to see?
Personally, I think it'd be cool if food became a commodity. Farms and crop farms produce foods to deliver to grocery stores, but you can import food from external connections for a price if you don't want to deal with rural components.
I've constantly wanted a Justice department too, to imprison cims and make crime a bigger role in the city, and parks should be much more diversified to include malls, theaters, museums (for educated cims), etc. This should correlate with age demographics, who need to be happy with their own unique placements (kids like parks, seniors like casinos, etc)
I think late-game cities would also benefit greatly from hotel districts, including casinos for tourists, which can also increase crime

Might be dumb question, but do landfills and incinerators work together at all? Is it possible to empty a landfill slowly into an incinerator?
And in relation to that, what can/should I do with a full landfill?
Yes! Landfills are supposed to be emptied into incinerators if you want to delete them anyway.
Click a full landfill and press the empty button. It will empty to another landfill, or incineration.
Also, garbage can be sent to crematoriums! Or maybe dead people can be sent to incinerators? I swear one of those is possible

Has anyone tried if there is any point to zone specialized industry even if your map doesn't have the resources? In a way beyond increasing tax income a bit?
