Cities: Skylines is a modern take on the classic city simulation. The game introduces new game play elements to realize the thrill and hardships of creating and maintaining a real city whilst expanding on some well-established tropes of the city building experience.
From the makers of the Cities in Motion franchise, the game boasts a fully realized transport system. It also includes the ability to mod the game to suit your play style as a fine counter balance to the layered and challenging simulation. You’re only limited by your imagination, so take control and reach for the sky!
Multi-tiered and challenging simulation: Constructing your city from the ground up is easy to learn, but hard to master. Playing as the mayor of your city you’ll be faced with balancing essential requirements such as education, water electricity, police, fire fighting, healthcare and much more along with your citys real economy system. Citizens within your city react fluidly, with gravitas and with an air of authenticity to a multitude of game play scenarios.
Extensive local traffic simulation: Colossal Orders extensive experience developing the Cities in Motion series is fully utilized in a fully fleshed out and well-crafted
Districts and Policies: Be more than just an administrator from city hall. Designating parts of your city as a district results in the application of policies which results in you rising to the status of Mayor for your own city.
Utilize the Day and Night Cycle:
The city changes during the hours of the day and affects citizen schedules. Traffic is visibly slower at night and some zoned areas do not work with full efficiency. This expansion will put you in control of managing the different aspects of the day and night cycles.
Extensive modding support: Build or improve on existing maps and structures. You can then import them into the game, share them as well as download the creations of other city builders on the Steam workshop.

my city seems to be stuck on 30k, once you get past the initial part when your scraping for money and raise the taxes your normally fine just putting whatever you want in. I still don't understand a lot of things, like how my city is covered with hospitals, cemeteries and bin collections yet always have problems with dead bodies and rubbish stacking up!! need to watch some more videos myself, saw a good one about traffic on YouTube (not that it helped much ha)

Good game, got for this price a little while back. Runs great on my laptop.
Warning - it is a major time sink though! Seriously need a time machine to appear on here one day if anyone can recommend one? I might get to all the other Steam games I have bought after seeing links on here then!

Bargain price, although I ruined my city trying to complete the tasks such as get crime rate to 75% for 6 months or whatever it was that caused everyone to abandon my city and they won't come back when I completed the task despite me setting everything back to normal so I gave up

I know almost nothing about this game but people seem to speak highly of it.
Does anyone have a good video to explain and sell the gameplay/concept to me?
Thanks.

Quite a few youtubers eg nerd cubed, sips, weaselzone have done lets plays of it, but they're long series, I'd recommend that if you've got time, if not just YouTube reviews

So Deluxe does not include Snowfall and After Dark? I already own the base game, seems upgrading to Deluxe isn't worth.
