Yes, 12m is default.
yessss...
the only downside to this update is now I have to take full advantage of all these new features..... by starting a new city from scratch

That's what I'm doing too. Last night I played around in a few of my current cities just to see what the new stuff was, and I'm liking this patch! The canal and quay interface is done wonderfully, but the new placeable rocks and water walls are great too. I'm thinking of making a poop canal in my new city that carries the waste far away from the population and empties it way out to sea!
I'll go even further and create "Poop Lake" !
I wonder if the lake would fill up completely at some point.

The answer is yes it does!
I put all of my waste into a large far off lake in my one city, the water turned a horrible color but things went fine for awhile, but eventually the water level did slowly creep up and spill over, allowing waste to flood all over my industrial sector. It was not a pretty sight, turns out the citizens do not love swimming in raw sewage....
Nice! This game is really well done then.
What happens when you hit the max number of simulated cims? not cars (which, if you're not careful, would grind all your cities services to a halt), but like actual cims... I think the number is ~600k or something like that? Your city would have to be around 1 million in population.
The update motivated me to play this again. Was in the process of building a tourist district when I noticed that the sun sets almost right behind the cathedral.
There is something nice about planned cities. Usually I try to build more organic cities and hide all big roads underground.

This is absolutely beautiful TT_____TT!
i think i'm done now, i need to uninstall before i spend the next week doing nothing but play, rip
included the first image to show you what i meant about knocking down a few blocks if you think you need to. i had perennial, non-stop problems with traffic in the big 'downtown' area until i eventually said 'fuck it' and build the major highway system into the heart of the city, on the right-hand side in this shot that i posted last week:
if i was going to do it again i'd have made it raised to make it look more 'natural' but eh. and ofc when i take a screenshot i manage to get a big tailback in it which makes it looks like a failure, a mess.

Perhaps not a surprise, but Cities: Skylines won Finnish Game of the Year in the Finnish Game Awards
(I think this photo is from "Big Screen Game of the Year" category, they got an actual statue for the big prize)

Should run it at low but I wouldn't hold my breath. The game is really not well optimized.
I though I would post some pictures of my city. Only big areas so far, I'm still working on details in Downtown area. Very much a WIP, but please, if any of you have suggestions, I'm all ears.
View from the West
From the East, Downtown Area
From the Mountains, North.
And finally, the red light district, sitting high in the Northern Mountains of the region.
There's no in-game tutorial. It'll take a few tries in the beginning to get the hang of, but it's definitely worth the time.

I bought snowfall and never had any snow hit my city. I tried different maps to see which ones would have the mechanic and came up dry every time.
Also does everyone play with money mechanics on or just sandbox it? I like the cash restraint to make situations interesting but it really limits the strategy game of building effective routes.

Snow is only available on the actual snow maps. And it's snowy all the time. I wish there was a season system in place, including the snow.
I personally play with money mechanics.

Can anyone recommend a good UI overhaul mod? I don't think the modding thread is still active unless there's another one I'm not aware of.

how are your electricity sources laid out? it could be that they aren't connected and so the game sees it's got enough but what's connected to that block isn't.

Just bought After Dark for £6 on Humble Bundle store but apparently this Snowfall is a bit of a let down?
In my humble opinion no. It gives as much stuff as After Dark does + there are entirely new systems that are added to the game like trams and snow cleaning services.

The only disappointment is that it's restricted to one map that's always snow covered.
runs poorly (and looks bad, especially since they changed the lighting model last year) on my desktop GTX 660.
In terms of the 'manage an economy and deal with crises and pressures strategically', it's worse than Simcity 2013. There's a hardcore mode that makes things more expensive but you can just fast forward to earn more money to pay for it. It's definitely more of a sandbox creative type game.
It think the game is doing a decent job on this. If you build typical cities you'll have some nice challenges to overcome. If its too easy anyways, the hardcore more should be your pick.
I know there's a trees limit easily reachable but what limit are you hitting? roads? terrains? prebuild stuff like parks and such?
I can't build anything.
Wow ok. That's wierd. Never reached that point and I have a city of 550k peeps...
Care to show a pic of your town? Am curious
92k peeps
That shouldn't be hitting any limits. try downloading this mod and see if you're hitting any limits.

What can i do with these?
CO word of the week #11 - 22/2016
So a small patch soon, but more importantly, another expansion after summer-ish. I hope they take a look at the economic part of the game and do something more interesting with it.
So you know last week when I said that we'll take our time with the next expansion, but would try to push a small patch out before we go on summer vacation? Well it's all true. We'll be focusing our efforts to bringing you something massive later on and have started to work with the modders on a new tool today. I'm so excited about this one! However there's much work to be done and not yet any news to share, so I'll stop teasing you about it for the time being.
Luckily there's a small patch coming out soon that will not only include bugfixes but nice content for everyone to enjoy. There will be more news about the content shortly as we plan to get this patch out by the end of next week!
What I can tell you is that the patch will mostly have localization bugs fixed (so nothing major) and the full patch notes will be revealed when the patch is ready. However since the game has done so well we felt that it's time to give something back to you guys. So we are adding the pre-order content to the base game, which means that everyone can have a dog park or a carousel in their city! Those are my favourites, but there's also a basketball court, botanical garden and a bouncy castle available.
While we wait for the patch to be ready to go out, please take a look at the devs behind the game

My wishes would be more like revamping the building AI.
- Business would check for citizen availability BEFORE building their business. If there's not enough peeps, just don't build.
- More realistic number of people in buildings and business (that might not be possible due the sims limit but even "fake" numbers would be nice.

You don't have to restart to see the new buildings, but they don't replace the old ones. The only way to block the base buildings from growing is using custom building themes, but you're limited to what is linked to that theme.
I wish there's a way to just stop certain base buildings from growing. Some of them are just ugly.

Is your wind turbine producing enough electricity (check your Electricity Availability)? Is your power line within the blue zone around the homes AND the wind turbine?
