Cities Skylines has been out for a couple of days and these are the best mods created so far. After lab condition testing, we’ve come up with a selection of the best mods for Cites Skylines with the help of the chaps at SkylinesCity. Oct 10, 2018 - With the infinite funds mod, it's easy to work around this, but still. Overall, I think being profitable in Cities Skylines is easier than it was in.
This is the big one. I don't recommend playing Cities: Skylines without Rush Hour enabled, it's that good. Unfortunately, the mod has yet to be updated to take advantage of natural disasters, let alone Mass Transit, but we're hopeful the developer will return to bring us up-to-date magic. Here's just a taster of what Rush Hour brings to the table:.
User-creatable events, allowing for buildings to have events of their own. Special random events that draw in a large number of 'cims'. Population reacts to the time of day (schools and jobs are more accurate), which progresses slower than vanilla — hence the mod name.The last highlight we've covered is the main feature of Rush Hour, which offers more challenges to even more experienced city planners. Prepare your road network!Traffic Manager: President Edition.
Traffic Manager: President Edition adds a number of new features to — unsurprisingly — help better manage traffic. With this mod active, it's possible to toggle traffic lights and yield/stop signs at junctions, set up timed signals, modify speed restrictions, and even disallow vehicles on certain roads. My favorite feature is the ability to connect lanes to switch up which lanes vehicles need to be in to use a junction exit. Also, with this mod installed and the setting enabled, it's not required to install a dedicated no vehicle despawn mod.Prop & Tree Anarchy.

All Spaces UnlockableSkylines lets you build on 9 of the map's 25 available tiles, but we wouldn't be PC gamers if we didn't want access to all of them. Does just that. It's not just for those who want to fill every square inch of map with buildings, but also for those who perhaps purchased a new tile and wound up only using a small fraction of it, or maybe decided further down the line to sprawl their city in an entirely different direction than they originally planned. Either way, it's a must-have. Traffic Report ToolIt's easy to spot traffic problems, but harder to understand and solve them.

If that's a little too gross, you can try the, which lets fires jump from building to building, perfect for putting your fire department to the test.

A great tool. Extended Road UpgradeA recent update added the ability to upgrade between one-way and two-way roads without having to bulldoze, but the, which did it first, is still worth checking out. It works a little differently than the unmodded game—and I think a little better—especially when it comes to changing the direction of your one-way roads.
