I love CS1 as well, actually I built my first computer to play this game. I love how much content it has and how you can make everything using mods. I also like to make pedestrian mods and love to watch citizens using the public transport/stations/hubs. I feel like in CS2 it's missing these latter ones.

I'm interested in seeing your city downtown with that river system!

I love playing CS2, I feel like it certain areas it was a huge upgrade. Sadly they are having all those problems, mixed with bad decisions/public relations but the game has a good base, I hope they can solve the problems and focus on developing it. I bet that the game will be really good in 1 year. The asset editor is a must that is missing right now, I still have plenty of empty areas in my city that are waiting for the perfect asset (elevated train stations please!). At least, the CCP Around the World filled some of the void. When was the last time you played CS2? I remember launching it day 1, I was so excited! But lauching the game and seeing it running like I had a potato pc as a sad beginning.

 

#Our Guidelines

1. General guidelines

  • Treat others how you'd like to be treated, be respectful and consider the person on the other end of the screen. Stay focused on the topic at hand and don't resort to personal, or political attacks.

  • We're here because we all love Cities: Skylines, make sure the people who have worked hard on creating it (the developers, the publishers, the asset creators, and modders) get their fair credit by not pirating the game, and only linking to approved resellers and the Steam Workshop.

  • Put your best foot forward and try to share high-quality examples of your work no matter what your skill level is. Your city deserves better than a blurry photo of a screen from across the room.

➧1. All content must be related to Cities Skylines.

  • Any content about the game, but not from the game, can only be shared as a link contained within a text post (see Rule 7).
  • Non-game content includes (but is not limited to) photos and videos of physical locations or buildings, schematics and renderings of future projects, maps, and drawings of city layouts.

➧2. No spam or reposts. Do not submit more than one of the same post/comment on this community or across multiple communities.

➧6. No NSFW Or Political Posts · Nudity: Obvious, implied or strategically covered · Content that is “sexually explicit”, gore.

  • Although this concepts introduced by the game are inherently political, stay in the Cities: Skylines lane.

  • Don't link to file sharing sites such as Ufile.io, Dropbox, Google Drive, or OneDrive.

➧9. Memes · Memes are allowed, but please keep it low or it will be considered as spam (Rules 2 & 10).

➧10. Posts must be high-quality ·

  • Don't take photos of your screen with a phone if you’re playing on PC - learn how to take a screenshot or video capture and share that instead.
  • If you are playing Cities: Skylines or Cities: Skylines Remastered on a previous-generation console and have no other option, please tightly crop your photo so it's focused on the content of the game and not the area around your TV.
  • Use descriptive titles instead of short, uncreative, or low-effort ones. Don't just say things like "help needed" or "what do I do?" - describe the problem you're facing.
  • Don't swear or use offensive language in titles.
 

Hello!

I asked the Lemmy.ml mods to mod this community as the old mod was non-existent and being the community with most users on Lemmy, it was sadly kinda abandoned. Now it's time to create our little corner in the Fediverse for the fans of these big simulation games.

What changed?

  • I updated the community logo (there was none before) and the community banner to the images of Cities Skylines II.

  • Also changed the sidebar to include information about the games, some community guidelines, links and community filters that work as "flairs" on some Lemmy clients.

  • I'm setting up a bot that will post 'News and Announcements' from the PDX Forum. This way you will keep updated with the announcements, the most recent patchs, updates and DLC's.

  • I didn't and I will not delete any content posted to this community until today!

In the Cities Skylines community you're free to:

  • Share pictures of your cities
  • Share videos about the game
  • Ask questions
  • Be creative

That's all for now! Let me know some feeback about the guidelines and what can make the community better!

Hope you enjoy the Cities Skylines community!

With the release of the Subscription Service for Cities: Skylines (1) , we have looked at the questions that were asked when we launched the Subscriptions Services for other Paradox Games. We might update this to include other questions when we receive them!

Why do you launch a subscription?

We’re launching a subscription service to make our large Cities: Skylines catalog more accessible for new players that want to explore our DLCs.

When are you launching the subscription?

The subscription will be launched on March 13th around 18:00 CET.

If I already have a lot of DLCs, what do I get out of this?

For our longtime players who already own some DLCs or those who prefer permanent access, we have special offers on our catalog & bundles during the launch period—making it easier to complete your DLC library at a great price. The subscription service is something that we’ve seen that more new players have taken advantage of, and we want to provide something for core players, too, hence the many sales and discounts launched at the same time.

Will I lose access to my existing content purchases?

No. All existing purchases will remain, and you will not have to sign up for the subscription service to maintain your access to your previously purchased content.

Will future content be subscription-only?

No. We have introduced a subscription service to lower the barrier of entry for new players.

Does the subscription model signal the end of development on Cities: Skylines?

As part of Cities: Skylines’ 10-year anniversary, we are launching two new Content Creator Packs on March 25th. If there’s continued interest, we are open to bringing even more content in the future.

Who asked for this?

We see this as an opportunity to provide our players with more options - based on our experience with other Paradox games using this model, we know many players are interested in experiencing the full game with all content—without the upfront commitment of purchasing every DLC.

Why did you not just create content bundles?

We already offer bundles, including the Collection Bundle, designed to help players complete their DLC collection. We believe we have set up a good variety of bundles to appeal to different players, but we are happy to revisit and update our offers for whatever needs we see communicated.

Are there any plans to expand the subscription service to other stores/platforms?

Not currently, but if we see there’s interest, we’ll definitely explore the possibility!

Will individual content still be available for sale?

Yes, subscription will not affect how we participate in different promotional events.

Why isn’t there a discounted price for the subscription for players who already own some/all of the content?

The subscription offers full access to all DLCs, including future ones, at a monthly cost, making it a separate option from ownership. So, for those who own a large portion of the content, we’re instead offering special bundle discounts on both old and new content.

Can I buy Cities: Skylines content while my subscription is active?

Yes, of course!

Is subscription going to be an option on both Cities: Skylines (1) and Cities: Skylines II?

No, we will only offer subscriptions on Cities: Skylines (1) for now.

We hope this provides more clarity into our process and alleviates some of the concerns of the Community with regards to the Subscription Service. If you have further questions, feel free to ask them in the thread below and we will do our best to provide answers!

Thanks, The Cities: Skylines Team
