How Cities: Skylines Makes You Plan Bad Cities
I love Cities: Skylines, and I've been building cities for almost six years. But for most of that time, I've used mods to turn most features of the simulation off entirely because the simulation is so unrealistic. In this video, we will explore what makes the Cities: Skylines simulation unrealistic, what the simulation's impacts are on players and their cities, and what can be done to make the simulation better. Specifically, this video argues that the simulation obscures urban history, gives the player unrealistic levels of power, and encourages (even forces) the player to plan car-dependent cities.
