Which filter is the best? Sup Forums scolded me the last time for saying there wasn't enough bloom when I used the "Easy on eye" filter because it wasn't realistic.

I didn't use cheats...

Making money is easy as fuck in this game.

HOW DO I STOP USING GRIDS

real cities are built on grids!

[lonesome slide guitar in distance]

Keep it simple, stoopid.

what map is this?

Mars

Can I get Deluxe edition monuments from other sources? Think I'll get it and pirate the DLCs in, which of the DLCs should I get?

Tucson/

your neighborhoods are wonky purely for the sake of being wonky, and then ultimately arranged in an arbitrary square grid anyway, and you have complicated highway interchanges less than like 200 metres apart.
4/10 see me after class

america/10 would not live in

kinda comfy

As much as I hate grids, I think they can look ok in very small towns.
OP's is McMansion hell though

That looks pretty nice.
I started a game pretty excited, then while I was playing I was making the ugliest city I ever met, then I went bankrupt, quit the game, uninstalled and rolled and cried for my lack of imagination.

any guide on how to make a nice looking city?

>Tucson
>Not green-ish
>Not raining
>Not mountainous

>and cried for my lack of imagination
Fucking this. My grid city with a bunch of L's of Residential-Commercial-Industrial looks so fucking bland and boring.

>cities skylines
comfy game

Grids are comfy!

...

I dont know user, I played a lot simcity2000 when I was a kid, and Im sure they were the ugliest, unfunctional cities, but I had too much fun to be bothered by that. Now I see this threads and my inner autist says I cant have fun.

Maybe we should keep playing and persevere, with practice nice-looking, comfy cities will come

...

Daily reminder that if you fall for the American highway-through-the-middle-of-the-city meme, you are a bad city mayor.

I like it.

>decide it's time to start zoning high density
>suddenly one in three of my citizens are sick
>spam hospitals like no tomorrow
>roads are clogged with hordes of ambulances as far as the eye can see
>despite having no water or traffice problems the problem just keeps getting worse

Well that's a day's effort wasted.

>Maybe we should keep playing and persevere, with practice nice-looking, comfy cities will come
....damn. That's good.

so is the game any worth? I would get it since its on sale but the fact that there are several DLC kinda keeps me off

Nice gommie-grids, Joseph.

Is this toaster-friendly?

NO

Start small and grow slowly. Don't be over ambitious and aim for a mega city off the bat. If you are, stop using the progression and money cheat mods to make the pace easier to grasp. When expanding keep in mind a vague larger picture of what you want your city to be. Leave space for highways and rail so that you do not have to demolish half of your city to place them in the future, but be flexible and don't keep your long term goals too rigid.
The easiest way to break out of grids is to play with the terrain. Start a city on a map with lots of hills/mountains, islands or coastline. Follow the contours of the land with your streets.

Its because they all moved in at the same time, you shouldn't construct large residential areas all at once.

I really fucked up the highways in this one

I didn't. I did it block by block. I only started throwing down the residential zones faster when my pop growth was at -300 from the deaths.

...

can u make big farm towns in this game?

You obviously have a poop well somewhere. Look at your pollution.
8GB of RAM aren't enough, especially if you want more than five buildings per type.

>Leave space for highways
>Inside a city
American plz go

Farms are shithouse in this game. Vanilla ones will be 4x4 at their largest and there aren't many decent mods to make up for it.

>poop
I used a zero pollution water treatment facility because the map has fucked up water flow.

>what are suburbs

>A lengthwise bridge over a river
So this is the power of civil engineering

POST MORE CITIES

>Have a shitty highway through city
>decide to upgrade
>fuck, everything collides with buildings
>maybe I can go over it
>one side does so with no problem
>the other not so much
>fuck I can fix this
>final result is
It helps noise pollution though

Bad water is the only thing that causes mass, localized waves of sickness like that in this game, unless they added something in some patch. Only other thing that even comes close is direct pollution from putting industrial right next to residential, but it doesn't look like you did that.

Why didn't you build itaround the town?

...

...

>Trying this hard to fit in with the grids r bad meme

...

>You can't connect two one-way roads to the end of one two-way road
This triggers me too much

Also, the lack of underground train stations, meaning you can't just put your entire railroad in a tunnel. At least that is fixable with mods.

the amount of roads needed in this game is absolutely fucking retarded

Brisvegas is bustling along.

Pls respond

STOP GRIDS

I liked the game and I am autismal enough to just build grid cities, but I never managed to geal with rtaffic once i hit 80k or so

...

A crack will unlock all the DLC since they're already on your HDD, just inactive. There's a tutorial on reddit

...

...

stop building them then?

That didn't answer any of my questions

...If you unlock the DLC content you'll get the Deluxe Edition monuments you were asking about, so the first question is moot, and you will also get all the other DLCs, so the question of "which DLCs to get" is moot too.

I CAN'T IT'S LIKE AN ADDICTION

So there's no reason to get Deluxe, right?

>putting roundabouts in the middle of a city

"Sorry honey, I'll be coming home late tonight. Just some light traffic!"

...

>entire city is a roundabout

>imagining myself hitting every red light on the way home

Hell no
Drops to 20fps in large cities even on high end machines

Play the oldschool Impression Games citybuilders for toaster-friendly action

Really hate the scale in these games. You get these cities set up, seemingly so big and grand, and realize that they're basically mid-sized cities at the biggest. I made the main part of my small hometown (1 mile x 1 mile pretty much, which surprised me), and it almost completely used an entire zone in CS.

Those are production chain games, not city builders. Simcity 4 or 3000 unlimited would be a better recommendation. Sim City 4 is still by far the greatest city builder there is even with its rigid tile system.

>america/10 would not live in

>Well, I am American maybe I can learn something by looking at Europe's best cities
>Look up Europe's top rated and most livable cities
>Load at satellite images
>It's a fucking grid
Last time I fall for this meme.

>Those are production chain games, not city builders
They're a pretty decent mix of both genres if you ask me, since there's such a huge focus on city management and planning. Caesar 3 is the middle ground between Sim City and the Anno games since goods and services are localized. Either way, they're still fun games unless you specifically want a 21st century city grid builder.

Only in america

>cities look amazing when built around rivers
>most building games are grid based and makes building alongside jagged rivers really hard

It fucking annoys me that nobody has tried to make a citybuilder with procedural lots. The buildings themselves would be difficult to procedurally generate outside of flat polygonal prisms, but just being able to have a procedural lot base would make filling in corners and curves so much better.

I want a city builder where you don't have to minmax so much. The choice between aesthetics and functionality shouldn't be so dramatic, otherwise you just end up with the same layouts in all the maps because they perform 243% better than every other setup and so on.

So I rented it to see how it played on PS4. It controls like shit and the UI is way too much oversized. Is there anyone who tried it that likes the console version?
I also tried Aven colony and, despite being inferior in almost every way, handles much better. The circular menues help a lot.

Just bought this game
Give me some beginner tips

You don't have to be autistic to play it, but it helps.

build along the highway, not away from it
look up the 3 types of streets

I'd like to see what this looks like when it's finished, currently it's just nonsensical

just dont be stupid at the start of the game, expand on a normal/fast pace and after you get the university there is no reason to expand from a strictly gameplay point of view. it is basically a sandbox game without any challenge whatsoever.
if you dont enjoy building a "perfect" roundabout for 15 minutes or micromanagent the traffic for hours, you wont have fun with this game.

Seconded

holy fuck

...

>Train line going through the city

Is there a way to turn off the icons? It gets really annoying when the game says I should build more of these time of buildings, but no one ever moves in to them so I have to look at the shitty "unemployed" or "vacant" icon all the time

...
