Recently got Skylines and g*med hard on it today, but, as someone who sunk hundreds of hours into SimCity 4, I'm not getting the appeal. SimCity 4 is just so much comfier?
Is Skylines really just a traffic simulator? I watched a video by a self-proclaimed city planner all about how to make efficient transitions from the highway to your town, and it seemed like the road building / traffic control is the whole point.
What am I missing?
It's pretty... Empty without mods check out the workshop and make sure to install creamapi for free dlcs. Vanilla without dlcs is pretty lackluster.
Its not just about roads doe once you hit 4k people you can build a pretty pog bus system and bike network.
And rail, and subways, and trams, and pedestrianized districts where you can literally ban cars.
Yeah, I just picked it up again recently, with all 🏴☠️ dlc, as I have a week off and am trying to learn them to create much less car brained cities. So far I've mostly just discovered that cycle paths are really good.
If you're on Linux there's a thing called Stellarkey you can use for DLC in place of CreamAPI
