After Dark Expansion released for Cities: Skylines!

Neat!  Looking forward to getting some time to check it out.

Sooo... what do ya'll think? I'm assuming it's quiet because everybody is playing, haha

Hey Azurespecter....This is a major turning point for the game. I really like the new features and how everything is at night. I love seeing the sun rise and set. I'm getting a kick out of the updated assets with lights now. But my peeve is daytime destroying our textures. I hope it gets fixed asap. Other than that, I think the expansion is great and I'm already losing sleep playing and making stuff for it. So yeah, your assumption that many of us are busy playing is correct.

I like, the pictures of the night time, especially from a far; are probably the most photo realistic things I've ever seen from a city builder. Some cities from a far back view at night if you took a screen cap and told me it was the view out of a plane at 30,000 ft. I'd believe you with out much second guessing and in that regard the expansion is a massive success. 

I'm still working out the kinks of the new transportation options, and just starting to play with the new commercial specialty tools but they seem to add a new layer of depth to an already pretty deep game. 


I hope to see seasons next because I think it follows a logical progression of adding a night time and really the cool things that come with it as well as the pretty things it make possible. Season brings I think the next level of both of those and is something that any prior Sim City franchise has yet to touch (and with the exception to Banished is mostly ignored in the genre) 

 

So in short, my review is mostly positive but its still very early. I look forward to when more of the mods get upto steam (no pun intended) 

So many awesome little features that really make the game come alive and more interesting. Combined with the fact I just got the mod that adds 3 and 4 lane one way roads its a completely different playing experience for me its awesome! So many more ways to play with the inclusion of things like the bus station and bike lanes and paths I'm scheming a bunch of new cities up 

Man the thing is bad ass too- mesmorizing seeing the sun rise and set in game. Adds a whole new level of realism. I even did and all night CJ yesterday

 

I can't seem to play my city following my purchase of After Dark. Anybody else have this problem?

I have a couple of older cities where the light commercial tax revenue has basically gone ridiculously negative and they have become crime-ridden cesspools.  I had intended to explore the new features in new cities anyway, but it still kind of stinks.

Got the After Dark Hotfix mod, and now I can play. Man, my city looks COMPLETELY different after dark!
