Probably better to open the map in the map editor and set it yourself. That way you can also extend the highways into that square so you can actually have people come into it as well.
just start playing it, there are a lot of helpful popups and you just learn quickly over time.

Agreed, just be prepared to fail early and often as you learn how things work.
Happens sometimes, just restart the game

The railway through a residential suburb, it was the first residential suburb when I started a new city at 5k pop and its district is now known as "Old Town".

Good job, that looks sweet. I've started making a map of my own too, remaking one of my Simcity 4 custom maps, but haven't gotten very far yet. The editor is fun to mess around in.
That's with the 'everything unlocked' mod I'm guessing? I think I need to do that at some point. Would be great to plan a city with everything right from the start.

Nah, I play the game fairly slow and plan a lot (I don't even speed up), the first suburb was built around a railway, they upgraded over time and I placed the trees and stuff. I took the screenshot at 5k population itself, the suburb originally was the first residential I built. Now the city is around ~20k and I now named it "Old Town". This particular railway was there already, it's part of the map. (outside connection)
It is quite fun. The simulated water physics are simultaneously amazing and frustrating.
Thanks!
I did the model in Blender. There is alot of useful info on the paradox forums and in the modding wiki.

To make new 3D models you need a 3d program. The asset editor will only let you add props etc. Hope you figure it out!
bah... titan X is such a tease... until I realize this is probably the most hours i've played on a pc game in ages... and my 780 blows through this easily enough.
been mostly on a handheld gaming binge until this came out. Maybe titan X will make 'dynamic resolution' mod work smoother

Awaiting a Mirror's Edge filter now.
There's at least two on the workshop already
edit:

Hmm, I saw one earlier but it was kind of wrong. Mirror's Edge wasn't actually B&W with splashes of color, it just had very white-washed minimalist buildings. Don't want the trees and grass and everything white as well I mean, that's fine, but it's not Mirror's Edge
Edit: Yea that's that one I saw. Reminds me more of Pleasantville than Mirror's Edge.

so im on the fence about buying this game.
I really think id like it but am not sure.
I actually liked sim city 5, but didnt like how you were restricted to just that little square. other than that, the game was fine for me.
would I like skylines? I know you can expand hugely and that is awesome, but there is no day/night cycle?
I love how you can mod the game, and i hope there is a mod to slow time down even more than the basic setting, but considering most people like playing fast, i doubt there is.

Are you quitting from in-game, or the main menu? I've seen it only a few times when quitting from in-game.
just buy it. It's so awesome. If you don't like it, I'll personally refund you $20.

Day amf night mod exists. Not fully sophisticated, but it will be. There has to be mods to play slower
There is a mod that lengthens the life of cims
My city, 35k pop.
I can't wait for there to be more custom content like buildings, maybe even building style mods (like japanese or paris). I'm hoping many of the SC4 custom building creators will be taking their stuff and releasing them for CS. NDEX group, il tonkso, bixel etc

I look forward to a 24 hour realism mod that simulates morning and evening commutes. Probably months out.
Building style mods (particularly sets) are a great idea, but that is really going to need a building manager front end, either by Colossal or a modder. Plus, a bunch of time since making decent buildings takes awhile.
exactly what id be looking for too, also something to slow it down to near realism time. not 1:1 to real life time, but maybe 1:1.5
like 1 minute real life is 1 minute 30 seconds game time. so its nearly the same as real time but time will advance slightly faster in game so i can experience the entire day without playing an entire real day.
im such a picky masochistic realist when it comes to games haha. Im sure ill enjoy the default vanilla game way too much if I was someone that actually liked sim city 5 in all its shittyness.
Oh yeah, would probably take a lot of time, both a DLC and community mod.
Until then let's just do it the SC4 way: Use a mod that disables all (or specific) default buildings, and look at the custom ones grow.

So there's a game breaking mod (the Chirper for Reddit one). Hopefully it gets fixed, but it corrupts the save file

Damn, just downloaded that last night. Thankfully, I've only opened a new city with the mod activated.

I've personally had zero technical issues with the game so far but I only have 28 hours played so far and my city has only just broke 32K. I had a major die off last night (either from age or noise pollution of my new area) and the hearses couldn't keep up... Or they were going to places they shouldn't have been going, like areas way out of what should be their jurisdiction. I also added another large hospital and fire department that are a good ways away from my first one.
EDIT: Eww, hope it didn't fuck up my save. Oh and speaking of course I say I have had no issues just for the game to crash, I only have 8GB of RAM and 1GB of VRAM and the game does not like it when I have FireFox open because it wants that memory for itself. Doesn't help that FF is using nearly a GB.

Yeah I tried that last night and lost 2 hours of progress. Could have been much worse though.

Doesn't look like my saves are corrupt, I've disabled that mod. People should probably test these things more.
The issue with people not getting images or whatever of parks I think is a bug of some sort, I took a picture of mine and saved it but when it shows up in game I get that default untextured model image too.
Oh, unrelated note, ended up buying the complete version of Civilization V since it was only $10 ($12.49 - 20%) on GMG, already had the base game but I got it free from the Joystick award thing a couple years ago and it was cheaper to buy the complete than the other stuff, the expansions were still $7.49 each.

God, that thing bugs me. It works, but it really, really shouldn't.

I do think lane usage might be fixable, assuming they gave modders access to ai routines.
Changing lane usage during the route might be too cpu intensive, but setting a bit of random selection during the initial path-finding should be doable.
