There is so much diversity in personal taste, though.
These are good to start:

I think some of these might not be relevant anymore due to the update.
i'm enjoying mass transit, the integration of several mod tools into the actual game proper + the occasional disaster are really keeping me from abandoning my city after a few hours like i have every other time.
i still have my issues with cities skyline, chief among them that i think it lacks the character of the sims (especially the really good incidental writing) and the way the systems work is that it doesn't encourage a very organic kind of city - there's no need beyond your own desire to craft a city to place things in certain places. But i think i want a completely different game... a kind of game where you 'grow' a city as opposed to 'plan' it. And that's not C:S's problem to fix really.

Did SimCity really encourage that too? I feel like my approach to both games is still the same, despite the changes in gameplay.
i honestly don't remember anymore, i don't think it did. maybe the closest is Banished but that felt a little too far on that side of things. i dunno if there's a game that's like that just yet.
anyway steadily growing my little city. nothing quite like trying to relieve traffic on your main road by demolishing a massive stretch of houses to jam a bypass in. very hitchhikers guide.
some of the same issues till plague me, like terrain considerations getting in the way of my perfect parallel highway. also why isn't there a parallel highway tool yet? I know you can just use guide roads and shit but i just want an easy tool...
Didn't the expansion add a double highway option.
For Network Extensions 2 this is a real shame, really reduces its value for me, from their to-do list:
"-Fix Ped Road vehicle restrictions (longer term...lots of work)"
Loved that in earlier versions.
How do I use this functionality?

For now, the regular pedestrian paths in the landscaping section work as they should.
I'm not sure if there's an actual double highway that lets you lay two parallel roads at the same time, but you can use the align to road feature to more easily make aligned roads.

For some reason no one is using either of my 2 airports in my city. Using the Xbox One version.
Yeah, but they're not zoneable, that's the thing I liked about their roads. Oh well, I'll manage without I suppose.
Yeah, I have used that, would've liked it if there was an actual double highway building functionality though, would make it much easier to make good looking highways.
I started playing this a lot again and was wondering if there was a way to gauge if something is too far to travel to.
Also, I'm confused about the optimal roads to use to combat traffic and have mostly just been spamming the large 6-lane thing with the trees... but it takes forever for AI to pick up dead people for some reason and I'm not quite sure what's going wrong despite spamming crematoriums all over lol
(it's quite possible that stuff is getting drawn over to my main city even though it's like a million miles away... but I haven't really sat down and followed hearses to see what's going on)

You can try out the mod traffic manager presidential edition for better vehicle AI.
For your services issue, long distances are a problem because the AI dispatcher doesn't take distance into account. You can use the mod Districts 2.0 to restrict services to the district they reside in.

awesome awesome stuff.
What a unusual and indepth approach. I love how serious he is about it, and all the inspirations he takes with it. It's very playful and creative. I need to get into some of his mods. Its crazy what he can do.

Does anyone know if there's a good fix for the small UI with resolution inferior to 1920x1080? My resolution is 1360x768 and the UI is so small you can't read anything. The bigger font mod doesn't work very well because since the UI is not scaled, the text goes out of bound
Picked this up for xbox one yesterday and proceeded to play for six hours straight. Took me about three hours on regular speed before I figured out how to speed things up to 3x(?) and then my money started rolling in.
Lots of fun. Easier than SimCity so far. If I need money, I up the taxes until they get mad then I lower it and everyone's happy again. Controls great with the controller. Took about ten minutes to get used to it.

After you select the bulldozer hit the page down key again to get back to underground mode.

When im in bulldozer mode, page down doesnt do anything.

There's a toggle button on the UI somewhere that enables deleting underground tunnels and stuff.
It was a bug or something, i had to restart steam and load the game again, now i´m fine.

Since the update Bulldozer has it's own underground mode now, I think the key to toggle underground mode is V. But as said, it's on the UI too in the bottom right when you select the Bulldozer.

I keep reading that Snowfall and Disaster aren't worth it, but Mass Transit is?

Sorry if it's been asked, big thread...how does it play with a controller?
Yes. The new transit options are worth it.
I don't think there's controller support for the pc version. But if you mean the console versions, they seem pretty good.

Oh sorry....thought it was out on X1.
Err yeah it is. The console version is a pretty good port but it lacks mods and the latest DLC.

The only thing Snowfall has that are of any use are...trams I think. Still not worth it, IMO. I didn't buy it.

I can't believe how blurry this game is.
At first I thought it was just my crappy laptop and having to play on lowest settings at 768p.
Then I built a PC and played at 1080p, still blurry.
I now have a 1440p monitor, and it's STILL blurry.
Yes the in-game settings is set to 1440p. Everything is maxed.
I really want to enjoy the game but the blurry UI is driving me crazy. The terrible aliasing doesn't help either.

This is going to be hugely helpful right now, as I can't browse the Steam workshop, but there are mods that greatly improve the image quality of the game.

Concert DLC seems a bit fluffy, I feel like I'm missing something important.
Not really. The price seems a little steep for what it has.

Having just released on the PS4 and the box stating PS4 Pro enhanced. Does anyone know what these enhancements are? I tried contacting Paradox on twitter but got no response.
DLC is out if anyone is interested.
There's a patch too, but nothing much other than an improved content manager (which basically is just the mod).

I believe there's an interview that mentioned that they want to do it.
Also there's a console thread that's more active right now here

Help needed guys.
Xbox one version of the game is not showing the box that you click on to empty a landfill.
On Youtube all the vids show pc version that has this option.
So how do I empty landfill sites on Xbox one?

so should I get all three expacs (Snowfall, Mass Transit, Disasters) or just one?
Mass Transit is the only really necessary one.
DIsasters is cool but just fun, Snowfall adds nothing of importance really.
