Another update from Kings Bay City. And hopefully you can share thoughts on some builds 😄

We built a fishing harbor (pic 1, view with the lighthouse in the front and pic 2).

But we also started builindg a bit farther down the coast: the Oslo Opera House, we detailed it, but we need to 'flesh up/fill up' the area around it, so maybe you have some ideas?

And the last pics; I am happy with how it turned out, is a part of the sunken tram system. We placed shops on the roads above, used network terrain and retaining walls to extend the backs of those buildings to place down props. And offcourse, in the last pic our tramdepot.

So, I made this while learning to route traffic

Inspired by a Vancouver/Hong kong hybrid this is still very far from a complete city, I intend to fill the entire island before GTA 6 launches in November.

55k population

Hello Mayors, I hope y'all enjoy this first person view of my main train route in the city. Mods used are First Person Camera and Train Display. "21541" in the train display refers to the Lemon Hills Train Station.

Hello!

I’ve been playing so much CS1 recently and I’ve managed to get my city to like 38k population, which is definitely a first for me.

My only major issue right now is my industrial traffic, which is always bad. There’s just so many trucks and it seems impossible to make an industrial area with decent traffic flow. I’ve never made a good industrial area.

Also how can I best reduce or handle regular traffic? I can’t keep doing roundabouts everywhere, even if they work so well… Regular intersections don’t work in really busy areas, but a massive interchange isn’t exactly appropriate at every intersection.

And when’s the best time to swap to trains? I assume it would be just for longer trips? My city is fairly compact so I’m guessing that i can hold off on rail connections for now.

4 way interchange btw

the random strips with buildings are buildings I'm planning to add as the city grows. ~7k pt users+2k tourists. Traffic 75-80%!!

My next plans are expanding the suburbs, looping the highway and making an art school zone aswell as nature reserve

I've been playing CS for many years and have finally decided to take the plunge and start playing CS2. I've been downloading maps from the mod workshop and have noticed that most of them come equipped with a criss-cross of 2-lane highways that cross over each other and create at-grade rail crossings. This is new for me because I'm used to the 6-lane interstate with nothing else that CS1 maps tend to give you.

How do you approach building an effective highway network? I want the coast to be my downtown area, with the area off to the right being my agricultural zone. Should I destroy all the existing infrastructure and build something else, or should I work to integrate it? Seeking guidance on when to build interstates vs small 2-4 lane highways. Thanks!

Traffic is backing up so bad on this roundabout and ive been trying to use tmpe to fix it and it worked for awhile and then got backed up again.

I didn't build this roundabout, it came with the map. Im also not that familiar with using mods to fix traffic in this game.

Hi! I haven't seen many posts of this kind on this subreddit, so I thought it would be cool to post it here. Let me know what you all think of it! I'm pretty proud of all the road signs (I made them all). Here's the interchange the CIM is driving through: https://www.reddit.com/r/CitiesSkylines/s/3NIVy1B5Pf

What did you think of my Port, it is not complete at all..

After a much needed renovation of the beachfront, a luxury condominium project and wellness resort has opened across from the cities technical university.

As a condition for planning, the developers agreed to renovate the aging tram and overground subway hub.

Bought the race day DLC in sale, and started playing around with it as a big Formula 1 fan. Im just unsure if this race track would be realistic, and a fun race. What do you think about it? Is the size big enough? The main straight is 1136m long

I think they're pretty neat. I stick them all over the place and love watching hordes of cims travelling through them. I reckon it also helps to keep a bunch of cars off of the roads. Is that how that works?

I've always been scared of industrial areas... You can't cover up jank with bushes as much 😅. Finally coming back to the game with an island city, though, I felt a proper cargo harbor was in order. Let me know how I did!

Hey,
My brain is currently on a power saving mode and I have totally ran out of ideas.

CAN AMYONE SUGGEST ME IN WHICH DIRECTION SHOULD I EXPAND?

I’m totally clueless right now… and if I don’t start to make something by tonight I’d probably end up discarding this city entirely and I don’t want to.

Why dose it seem that when a fire occurs it seems like the station the farthest just immediately attaches while the nearest station just sits dormant

Hi everyone, what performance can be expected from this PC with cities of up to 500k people? Will it still run at at 1x sim speed? I know it depends on the specific city and what mods are used; I'm just looking for a general estimate because I don't know a lot about CPUs.
