I picked up cities skylines again and I've been making planned high density residential areas, each area has a central metro station that connects it to the other areas of the city, and several "arms" or blocks that are connected to the metro station with buses/trams and walking paths. Shit gives me so much seratonin that I'm surprised the government hasn't illegalized it yet.
I know it's a game and not real life, but this shit isn't rocket science and yet we're still building cities like drunk toddlers in the year of our lord 2022.
My gripe with cities skylines is that modern European cities are basically impossible to create (without a ton of dedication and mods). It was made with American style cities in mind.
Outrageous that basically ALL of the buildings need to be placed roadside. Why the fuck are pedestrian paths not enough, and I need to put a park on a road? At least there are mods that have zoneable pedestrian paths, and TM:PE allows you to restrict traffic to just emergency vehicles. Sucks for console players, though.
Edit: also, the lack of small train stations in the vanilla game is unforgivable. The only one available is like a damn city block, did the developers never ride a train through an urban area before? The fancier ones are basically big sheds with a couple bathrooms and a ticket kiosk.
I had a starting area of low density that had a more extensive tram network and some buses to get people to the metros. After I unlock high density zoning, I basically stop using low density all together, too many ugly-ass roads.

you're gonna bait the Mosesposter again
You might enjoy Workers and Resources: Soviet Republic, if you hadn't already heard of it
I find it weird that you can only do this if you turn off the tech unlocking setting
