New To Cities XL

[PatternRec 1]

Just got it last night and had a little time to mess with it. Did the tutorial and made a couple of practice cities just to get used to the tools. Now I've got a small city that I'm laying out quite conservatively for now, mostly a small grid. There's plenty of room on the map so I plan to get creative as the city grows and as I become more familiar with the mechanics of the game. 

I like it so far. Nice aesthetically, and a little less heady than SC4 so it's good for an end of the work day kind of session. I'll see if it holds up over time. So far I'm happy with it.

Good to hear, it's not a bad game, it not meant to serve the same purpose and SC4, people often confuse the two, SC4 is more of a city-builder/MANAGEMENT game, CXL is a BUILDING game, and thats mainly it. It is great for building beautiful cities, with amazing skylines etc. but more is coming to the game through modding you should check out the custom content forum, people are on the verge of unlocking everything MC had originally locked (but now they are gone) like mass transit (although not fully complete yet, this may change) and new buildings, gem's etc.! have fun, remember! don't try to compare it too much to SC4 you might start to hate it I like the game though.

Thanks for the response. I'm enjoying the game so far, but I can see how one would start to miss the depth and complexity of SC4. I can see myself going back to SC after playing C XL for a while. For right now it's a good change of pace.

I still play SC4, never will get old, but CXL has made some progress in some areas, particularly the visuals, have fun with the game! I'm just waiting for some mods to come out, as many people here have figured out how to mod the game files
