Current Events > Decided to start up Cities Skylines again...

(+) Yeah! (+)

Then I remembered I have no creativity at all and I suck at these games. Let's see what I can do though!

Grid pattern or do you not care to maximize your area?

Probably gonna do a grid. Seems easiest

Same, all I do is grid cities, one side for industrial with commercial buffer to residential. Though I try to keep the 3 way intersections and to never have 4 way intersections to keep traffic flowing better. Then get a new plot to try something creative, but fail horribly and just start a new city.

Tried a few guides on making pretty stuff or a highway connection... Mine always look horrible beyond belief.

They really need to increase zoning stuff in the next game. This one is way too car dependent

You gotta plan for bicycle routes and subways and bus lines early on or you'll have to destroy entire neighborhoods to accommodate them later. But bicycle paths really do get used a ton if you build them.

You can get footpaths and mass transit working pretty good

been playing that for a few weeks, it's really difficult, I struggle the most with highways and integrating them into the city bc they take too much space

but yeah, some stuff needs to happen for sequel:

1. start cities without a highway, maybe they can start with a railway station or something more natural
2. less car dependency, more pedestrian stuff
3. Implement stuff from mods like precision engineering, traffic manager, etc

that's it

Aren't there multiple "going green" expansions that have tons of content for bike paths and such?
