So uh I'm getting an error message about right roads or something even though I've disabled all mods, do I have to unsubscribe from them?
Fuck looks like quite a few are having the same problem.

I've been playing for about an hour and have had zero issues so far (no mods). It's good fun. Not really sure what the temp gauge does but I'm sure I'll figure it out soon.
The lower the temperature, the higher the heat use becomes, I believe.
Yup, that's it. Electricity issues are more prevalent now due to the constant fluctuation.
Pipes also run the risk of freezing and bursting if temperatures get too low, there's a bunch of new water utilities to keep that from happening.

Anyone got some nice shots of a rainy city?

You can see rain in video here : https://youtu.be/iMnPw5ij0yo?t=6m19s
Also, there's already a mod from BloodyPenguin allowing you to change the environment of your city (so it can be in the new Snow one) : http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=611254368
This is like half price. Grab it.

So is this basically a $13 snow mod?
Maybe you should have cared to read the previous page where all the expansion contains is described or read it on Steam? There's just as much content as with the After Dark expansion. After Dark only added the night I guess *rolleyes
The game limits the actual agents...basically services and cars to about 65k. On a bigger city, like mine, this number is easily hit and services will await to spawn until another had despawned, basically breaking the game. People won't arrive to work, police and hearses and ambulances will stop arriving at places timely, etc. Essentially killing the city. It's unmoddable, it needs to be fixed inside the source code itself. They probably limited it to this so as not to kill CPUs, but give those of us with the ability to run higher numbers to add more agents. Otherwise by 80+ hour city with nearly 500k people has died
Ah, I didn't know that I already bought this DLC. I guess I'll just wait for the sale on the new DLC.

The double edged sword of supporting modding to this extent. Everythign they do is now a "paid mod" unless it offer a full game's level of content for $5.

Oh that sucks. Is tha tlimit easily reachable in a stanadard game, or do you need to mod more areas in? Actually I think I have the more areas mod installed.
I think from the standard 9 tiles you can't get there.... Think..i had all tiles unlocked so my city grew a lot.

Kinda weird if the limit is 65k when the last milestone (Megalopolis) is population of 80k. I currently have city of 125k people and have not seen big problems with services (at least yet).
Not every people is an agent actually just the services tourists and cars.

I just spend an hour or two with my old city that I haven't messed with since last July, with all the additions/changes... Yeah I think I better just start a new city. "Sucksville" was never meant to be nothing more than a practice city to begin with and I ended up putting 75-80 hours into it.
Also I have sink holes... Guessing that might've been from something I removed though I didn't have a lot to begin with, forgot I had already cleared out a ton of the buildings I added from someone's package because of how that killed performance a while back.

I have the original game and played for about 10 minutes before being turned off by its difficulty. It also didn't seem to have much of the charm that Sim City had. That was just from initial impressions though. Is it that much better than Sim City? What are some of the benefits? I mostly play in Sandbox mode and just do whatever I want. Should I give this game another whirl?
If you don't like it, you don't like it. But 10 mins is hardly enough time to make such a judgement.
I struggled with my first two or so cities. Ended up bankrupt and couldn't expand. Would have to start over. But, I had no experience with city builders before, so I attribute it to the learning curve.

If anyone is curious and maybe if someone wants to make a topic about it, the base game is free to play from now until 10AM PST if you download it before 1PM PST Sunday.
There's also been another small patch released.

Learning curve yet, because I swim in cash with my first city in this game. Can I ask you what the biggest problems in your city? From where is the cash flowing out?
If you want to play in sandbox there's the unlimited money and unlock all mods that comes with the base game.
That was when I was first starting out. I got the hang of it since then.

If you like the SimCity games then yes give CSL another shot. I own all of the SimCity games (except for SC5 which I returned), my favorite is SC4 which I have played untold hundreds of hours with, and I think that CSL is better than all of them. I've actually uninstalled SC4 for the first time in over a decade because with CSL now I'll never play it again. All IMHO of course.

Yeah, I love making shit all day like this.
So after tearing my hair out with the horrible Steam Workshop interface, I realized what's the issue. I have too many assets. Which is weird cause it was totally fine before the patch. Sigh, now I have to see if it still loads if I resub to those assets that I unsubed.
Or maybe I'll just go and play some FE.

The 'let me check out the expansion real wuick' turned into a six hour session. I like so far. I wish the city would cycle through four seasons. That would be great. The first city I attempted, the power grid went straight to hell. The wind turbines weren't enough. I built a couple of them too.
I really hope the fix the traffic AI next time around. I will look into a traffic mod tomorrow.

Have to get back into this, haven't been back to Nubtown (my 2nd town, after Nubville) since the DLC came out.
One thing that does irritate my OCD with this game is when you place buildings on a hillside or any non-flat terrain. The building sits in a sit of "dip" which creates unsightly brown mounds around it that look horrible.

FYI
Traffic ++ V2 is out .
THE custom roads from Traffic ++ have been merged with the Network Extensions project

Get the terraforming mod.
Your OCD will love/hate you.

I didn't even know that was a thing. To the Steam Workshop I go...

all my loli wolf companions are so moe
Oh, Snowfall is out?
EDIT: dang at those negative reviews tho
EDIT: dang at those negative reviews tho
Yes. Rain is cosmetic only though.
I mean, the thing that is going to mean middling or negative reviews for all expansions is pretty much the modding. A lot of the sensible additions to the base game are going to be things that modders have long added. I suspect a lot of these expansions will be more for people who use few or no mods than for the people running with hundreds of mods

Yeah, like I didn't have any issues, when the game loaded it told me something was broken so I went and disabled it. The few mods I used were more for statistical purposes aside from like the 25 tile unlock and the re-enable achievements one.
