played some Cities Skylines during my lunch break and quickly realised I never played Skylines before haha. Largely because I had no idea wtf I was doing, the cool zoning the game has and the fact that I didn’t know who sewage and water works. And the game had zero hand holding… I like it… I might cry later but for now it’s cool.
I think when I said I played the high seas version I actually think I played Cities XL(which funny enough was mentioned yesterday)

This is why we can’t have nice things…
Mod users beware!! Check your installs. Delete any that you may have if you’re one of those 35,000 that may have them installed. And update your saves afterwards as well.

Yes that sucks. I saw the Reddit post earlier this week where a modder discovered the mal ware in the mods. And the twee people responsible for it are the most petty and childish assholes. I actually found one mod on theirs on my install, but never used it as it caused conflicts. So luckily it was deactivated, but I uninstalled it the moment I saw the post.

The Cities: Skylines team has issued a statement too.
Doesn’t seem as bad as the earlier news. Still not ideal though.

I’m glad they banned the mods and mod makers. When I read about such antics on Steam Workshop, I’m surprised this does t happen more often. The workshop relies a lot on the honesty of people and such scams is few and far between. Which is such a surprise for the internet.

Each specialization features 24 new modern wall-to-wall buildings!

With the CS2 announcement, I got back into the game, dusted off a previous city I was building, and made it better and bigger…
Let me introduce you to Ballito Bay!!
City is sitting currently at 76000 cims, with traffic at 81%. All DLC is being used as well as many, many mods.

Proper road hierarchy and well-implemented public transport ensures that there are no traffic issues around anywhere in the city

The SR Hammer International Airport ensures people from around the world will be able to visit the city.
The D Mol Collery has provided all metals and glass to construct the entire city, and now mainly focusses on the huge lemonade factory the city to known for and for exports.
For those that want to escape the hustle and bustle of the city, Wyvern Rock was built on the shores of Pebble Creek and is the municipalities premier tourist and holiday destination, with horseback riding, hiking, fishing, Korean and Japanese culinary restaurants and more to do and see here.
This is Redd Premium Pears’ main farm, located on the northern side banks of Pebble Creek. This is the oldest industry in the region and the main reason for the city’s growth and survival. The owner, Greg, does some fabulous brunches on Sundays.
The Ballito Bay University is situated on Crusader Hill overlooking downtown and is home to some amazing engineering programs.
This is Rich-Bitch outlook, also known as Farlight Hill. It has a great view of old town as well as the harbour.
Be sure to take a selfie at Avatar Arch before you head into Slinks Valley on the far western edges of the map.
