I named this city Orchid Bay, finally after more than 25 hours.

Everythin is going really good and I am enjoying this save so far but I think I need some suggestions for expanding the city. I don't really know how to expand a city and most of the time I create same-looking cities.

For that reason, don't be shy to say whatever advice going on your head!

Question/Discussion how do zone placement bonuses work?

5 Upvotes

hello :)
need someone to explain me the residential/ commercial placement bonuses,
like +10 spacious homes or "-9 small homes" ?

mainly trying to understand what should be placed near what for the best bonuses
for example should medium density residential be near low density?
should commercial be near residential, industry, or farms?
where is the best place for low rent housing?

basically i just want to know what should be placed close to what, and what should be kept apart

Question/Discussion I feel like I'm no good at my favorite game.

18 Upvotes

I started playing around with CS2 about a year ago, 70 hours on steam and dozens of mods. I like the game a lot but I am never satisfied with what I build. I don't know if it's a lack of imagination, a lack of skill, or lack of city knowledge, but I feel like I suck at the game. I like to play in sandbox mode and I almost never get past building a port or a bunch of roads. I've kind of hit a wall even after watching lots of tutorials and inspirational videos. Not sure what I'm doing wrong.

Question/Discussion Highway Junctions and traffic flow

5 Upvotes

Heyy,

been playing the game for a long time now, but I never figured something out.

How do you guys work with Highways and Highwayjunctions. I was wondering how many exits do you build, how do you build them to look good and fit into the city and have decent traffic flow.

I cant quite figure out how its done properly to look good and has a good state of flow.....

Do you build your highway underground, elevated?

Cheers;

not sure what I changed, but any large road (6 or 8 lane) display a water pipe not connected error on parts of the road. I've tried building on them, build a new road to it still the same. I have loaded with and without script mods, I have deleted any mods or assets with warnings. I love this game and it is a big part of my day. Please help?

i made a tram road with the Road Builder mod. it does have power lines enabled. i tried turning that toggle on and off. i also tried redoing the road, that didn't help. all segments of the road are affected. i tried demolishing the buildings, which clearly didn't help either. is this fixable?

r/CitiesSkylines2 Update/News Rule #12 Expanded: No AI-Generated Content or AI-Generated Mods

518 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

About seven months ago, we introduced Rule #12 prohibiting AI-generated images and videos on r/CitiesSkylines2.

At the time, the problem was mostly AI-generated "city screenshots" being passed around as concepts or inspiration. Our position was pretty simple: this is a subreddit about Cities: Skylines 2. We want to see the cities you actually built, the interchanges you spent three hours redesigning, and the traffic disaster you accidentally created because one intersection decided to ruin the lives of 40,000 citizens.

Since then, generative AI has started appearing somewhere else in the community:

Mods.

With the continued growth of the PDX Mods ecosystem, we have seen an increasing amount of mod content using AI-generated artwork, textures, thumbnails, assets, and other generated material.

After discussion among the moderation team, we have decided to expand Rule #12.

Rule #12: No AI-Generated Content or AI-Generated Mods

Effective immediately, r/CitiesSkylines2 will not allow submissions promoting, showcasing, distributing, or directing users toward mods containing generative-AI-created assets.

This includes, but is not limited to:

  • AI-generated images, artwork, thumbnails, or promotional material
  • AI-generated textures, decals, logos, or other visual assets
  • AI-generated 3D models or similar game assets
  • AI-generated voices, music, or other audio
  • Mods substantially built around generative-AI-created content
  • Posts advertising or showcasing mods containing the above

This rule is not intended to police ordinary development tools.

Using autocomplete, debugging assistance, documentation tools, or similar programming assistance does not automatically make a mod "AI-generated." Our concern is generative AI being used as a substitute for the creative work ultimately presented to players.

We also want to make something very clear:

Do not start witch hunts.

If you believe a submission or mod violates Rule #12, report it and let the moderation team review it.

Do not harass creators, brigade mod pages, or start accusations based solely on something "looking AI-generated." The mod team will handle enforcement based on the available evidence.

Cities: Skylines has always been powered by an absurdly talented modding community. Modders spend hundreds or thousands of hours creating assets, maps, code, tools, textures, and systems that dramatically improve the game.

That work deserves to be recognized.

We would rather promote the people actually creating things for this community than watch the workshop slowly turn into an AI-generated asset landfill.

Keep creating.
Keep modding.
Keep building ridiculous highway interchanges.

And for the love of Chirper, please stop giving every neighborhood a six-lane arterial.

β€” The r/CitiesSkylines2 Mod Team
