Thanks so much... I knew of all of these, but came for the cinimatics! but I did not know about the SSAO settings of Post ProcessingFX!! that changes everything... thanks so much! I have fooled around with this mod before, but saw little alteration with the other tools. Thanks Pres! now my city will never look stale again :P Also you forgot to mention the 'ability to read' mod... game changer :D as mentioned in the description to get advanced vehicle options to get rid of those freak!! green cities chair scooters!! thanks, have been meaning to get that one :) anyway I appreciate the time it took to make this... especially the video description, but your literally the first to make something like this, so I think most will find it eye opening P.S. one thing you did not mention was the skybox and pastel sky mods.... you do not use those?

@PresCities 6 лет назад

I don’t use the skybox mod in New Windsor because it doesn’t include nighttime skyboxes yet and it messes up my lighting.

@skulcandykid 6 лет назад

The only thing i miss is your PC specs and the general fps. Many people still want it to be playable. Above 30 fps. I've got a 4790K @4.8 ghz and a Gigabyte GTX 980Ti with 16GB ram and an SSD to boot the game. I can surely test it for myself, but that's not the point of this comment as i care about general information. Aside that, top notch video, and thanks for the conclusion of things that make such game even better than good!

@PresCities 6 лет назад

My PC specs are pretty good (see about page). But these mods don’t really hurt your FPS for the most part, except Dynamic Resolution and sort of Sun Shafts.

@skulcandykid 6 лет назад

Pres ah! Thanks for the hint. Not everyone would do that. And i must say. I love your attention to detail when it comes to being informative. Very in-depth that is. Your pc can almost mimic mine on Cities skylines performance. The extra cores may help, but that lower frequency per core kills it again as games generally play on 4 cores, high frequency. Anyway, thanks for the reply! Subbed!

@skulcandykid 6 лет назад

dakel-BTK cities skylines is very demanding on CPU's and favors it over a GPU. Although, it's not optimized to use even 60% of your cpu. I generally get about 40-60 fps. Depends on area.

@c0018659 6 лет назад

does the mod that darkens asphalt make all the roads dark or can you pick which ones darken ex: old historic neighbourhoods roads are grey and look cracked while upscale commercial areas are dark with bright gold and white stripes and lines?

@PresCities 6 лет назад

The best way to get color diversity is to use different roads from the workshop.

@petrosm3248 5 лет назад

Just put road maintenance in new areas only. Roads will darken over time if they're overused and not maintained.

@Kehwanna 4 года назад

I'm late to this thread. If you go to the Steam Workshop and click on the themes tab to the right of the screen you can find a lot of the American themed homes. Or if you type in townhouse or reduce your search to low-rise residential you can find a lot of them. One I can remember off the top of my head was called New England and another one Mid Atlantic. As someone with a lot of assets, don't go to far down the asset rabbit hole and get another thousand assets added to your pile of a thousand assets.
