The sim management community latched onto Cities: Skylines right out of the gate, and the ensuing four years has seen its fan base grow and thrive.



That community includes a great deal of modders that have produced a legion of add-ons over the years. Many of the most popular mods are cosmetic and offer a package of building designs to add some extra flavor to your cities. Others are more practical, such as mods that help you plan and build your roads better in order to reduce traffic problems. With four years of mods to wade through, finding the ones worth downloading can be tough, though. Below, I’ve chosen a small sampling of our favorites. These are mods that we’ve kept installed even while rotating others out. They range from purely cosmetic to functional cornerstones of our city planning. They also show off some of the truly impressive creativity present in the Cities: Skylines community. One of our favorite aspects of Cities: Skylines modding is the community’s ability to build real-world buildings to the game. The variety of buildings available in the Steam Workshop is absolutely staggering, with some legitimately impressive creations such as Spain’s Lugo Cathedral, the Space Needle in Seattle, Doel Nuclear Power Station in Belgium, and the Yellow Crane Tower in Wuhan, China. I mention them here only because this list can’t just be fancy buildings, as much as I would like it to be.Īnyway, without further delay, here are our favorite mods for Cities: Skylines.īuilding roads and navigating traffic flows is one of the supreme challenges of Cities: Skylines, one that modder Timboh has worked to alleviate. The Interchange Emporium is actually a collection of several add-ons each one is a different style of road roundabout, intersection, and interchange aimed at keeping traffic moving inside your city. Timboh has modeled all of the interchanges using the in-game editing tools and used real-world designs as inspiration. If you find yourself struggling-as I often do-with traffic in your city, hop on over to Timboh’s Marvelous Interchange Emporium and grab yourself a fancy new roundabout.įor those of us who revel in the details, the Precision Engineering mod by Simie is an essential download. #Cities skylines traffic manager president edition+gridlock mod
