Cities: Skylines
Excerpt from the original post on Paradox Forums: >The two Creator Packs — **Modern Architecture** and **Urban Promenades** — have been completed by their creators. While the Economy Patch, Detailers Patch, and Decorations Patch are all part of our commitment to improving the base game, we are well aware that the Asset Editor is one of the most crucial remaining features in fulfilling our promise to make mods fully available in-game. To ensure we don’t split our focus, we’ve made the decision to push the release of the Creator Packs to **Q4**. This will also affect the upcoming release of Bridges & Ports Expansion that will instead come in **Q2 2025**. We will continue dedicating our efforts to the base game before shifting focus to paid content. Our goal is to ensure the community is satisfied with the state of the game, and once we’ve achieved that, we’ll be excited to release these amazing packs to you!

I'm a hardcore fan of Cities Skylines 1 and have been playing it for several years now. One issue I have though is how I go about making a highway system. It seems so complex, I don't understand how I can connect place to place in a reasonable way and I feel like the only proper way to do it is to ravage through regions of my city to make massive interchanges and efficient routes. My strategy as a result is just using 6 lane roads as my "highways" and kinda just avoiding the idea of highways altogether. I'm so bad at it that my idea of creating an on/offramp is retrofitting roundabouts. I'd love to hear people's thoughts on this and also how to get my mind thinking of the right ways to make good highways.
>Since we wanted to get the homeless fix out as soon as possible and the decorations menu was ready to ship, we decided to bundle them together, along with a bunch of other bug fixes of course. Today, we’ll go through the new decorations menu, how props work, and what has changed with homelessness.
In Cities: Skylines 2, how do you usually organise your districts? What makes you decide an area should be a district? Roughly how big are your districts usually? I feel like I might be overusing the districts a bit and it's getting a bit messy.
Just wanted to share my newest Texas inspired city
This mod looks revolutionary for what used to be possible in Cities Skylines..

Multiple people claim to have received an automated email from the official paradox forums this evening. Apparently a post was made to the forums that triggered this e-mail, announcing a refund of the Beach Properties DLC: [Screenshots of the email](https://imgur.com/a/d3kmKrl) It was made by the official paradox account used for other announcements (as verified by checking the profile url in the email). The post was made private almost immediately because upon clicking the View This Thread button they couldn’t access it.

Aside from watching a YouTube video on getting started a few months ago for my wife, I went in pretty blind. Is this mostly due to mods or bailouts for most cities?
I've now got a grasp on most of the basic mechanics of the game, so it's time to get to the fun part: OPTIMIZATION!
I didn't realize how much TRAFFIC can be avoided with some mass transit! Airplane into the city plus a subway/tram system to get around!
I just started playing Cities: Skylines 2, and it's pretty cool. Seems like a good mega time-sink game. But oh man is managing traffic flow DIFFICULT. I'm beginning to understand how the AI behaves whenever it comes to types of intersections, like oh man is the computer bad with changing lanes at the last minute or what. But what I'm working on right now is figuring out how to manage my larger traffic volumes. I've gotten a couple cities to get to 10k-20k population, but around that point I have the same issue with traffic flow, in that I don't know a space efficient way to distribute high volume traffic in my city on my roadways. I think the issue is I'm just getting too high of a population too quickly. I think I'm also making neighborhoods that are WAAAAAAAAAAY too large. How large do you all usually make your large apartment neighborhoods? Edit: Okay so additional parking makes traffic MUCH worse. I kept thinking "oh man, this is a TON of apartments, so they all need parking for their cars!" If you put 10 underground parking garages next to it, hundreds of cars will spawn and swarm at you in droves, bloodlust in eyes.
In Cities: Skylines 2, I just learned that the demand suggestor for which distructs your city wants should basically be ignored. I had a city where less than 1/3 of all jobs were filled, and it was telling me to build a TON more job buildings.
Title is everything . . . I tried making intersections and diverted traffic elsewhere, and the townpeople cut through neighborhoods instead of my nice roadways!
Turn it on before you lose hours of progress.
I have a near 200k city which is essentially a set of neighbourhoods isolated from the highway separated by train and airplane lines for both passenger and cargo. The money trend indicator goes up and down between +300 000/month (=24h) and -2 500 000/month... yet I'm consistently making money hand-over-fist jumping up about 20k every time it updates. So IDK if it's a source of income like haulage fees for freight or ticket income from transit being more than reported, or if my municipal council is reporting low numbers to defraud the national government to give Rentlar City all the subsidy monies (which were around 2-4 million a month) and bankroll the transit system. Any one have any ideas or thoughts?

Why does it have to leave the "work area" and drive onto the motorway???
Big if true. Response from the Devs included, they're claiming this is just bugs which I really hope is the case.
