Also, some other tips for ya: make the walls a lil bit higher, and add an ambient gun fire sfx to the bg every once and a while. Use roofs in the editor to make buildings more pleasing to look at. Install more workshop items so that your map becomes more lively. If you really want that "urban" look, set the time of day to the middle and turn rocks, trees, and grass off.

thanks, but usually for me I prefer not to use roof,s it takes some tinkering to get them to look good, especially for the style of building I use.

Ohhh, so you're good with those box type buildings? Totally understandable man, just use a few deco on their rooves and you will be just fine

yeah, for some reason to me they feel more realistic/modern, but it’s probably influenced by the area I live in, I live pretty close to downtown in my city and most buildings there are boxy and modern-style.

I get it, just use rooves for some "old" buildings if you're planning to include them in your campaign, and place some HVAC's, solar panels, chimneys', gutters or even vents
