What could go wrong?

Better add it to the Three Laws of Robotics and make it the Four Laws.

Good that you found the problem. Unfortunate that you have to keep it turned on though. The mod author has some work to do it seems. Might be one of those things where you have to remove all instances of the asset before things work properly again.

Did you download anything or change any settings right before this started happening?

The Paradoxplaza link gave me a 404 error. This is pretty exciting. I guess I'll have to see all the content that this expansion comes with before I decide to buy it. By "official" if you mean something with a price tag then yes. But there is also the Euro theme DLC that added a wave of content to build European-themed cities for free.

So it's kind of like Banished, but in a post-apocalyptic setting. I guess I'd enjoy something like that if it came out.

Welcome to Ashihabara. I used a combination of free-camera and the isometric camera mod. The textures look terrible because the isometric camera changes the LOD from normal. Even though my settings are maxed. Still developing the other side of the river. I have a lot of sprawl to the bottom, left and right off-camera.

I found a mod today that adds a zoneable pedestrian-style "street". It looks like the pedestrian paths in the recreation menu so it doesn't have any lanes, sidewalks or crosswalks. But it's still 2 tiles wide. One lane streets would be great though. When I build, I try replicating Japanese cities. Having narrow streets is a critical part of that.

This is the only pic I've taken so far of any of my cities in the game. Took it earlier today to show a friend. Ashihabara

I'm glad there are still studios around that know how to make a good city-builder. I'm really enjoying this game and it doesn't look like I'll be stopping too soon.

Bought, downloaded and started playing yesterday morning right after it was unlocked on Steam. Fantastic game. This is definitely the (3D) city builder I've been waiting for. Already proving better than other games. The release isn't botched with controversy and people completely unable to play the game they bought. I can play without an Internet connection and the city sizes are far larger than that other game. I greatly appreciate the work that Paradox has done for the city-building community. Extremely grateful. I love what they've done. The game is relaxing and I can lose myself in it for hours. I also like the building system they have. You zone buildings and people build and move in. But then the building will upgrade over time to something better and more efficient than the last one. This is a rather unique approach to handling wealth classes. The only peeves I have with this game are the garbage collection speed and the lack of turning lanes and merge lanes for highways. But like with almost anything in a game, it can be fixed with mods. Other than that, this is the best city-building experience I've had since my heavily modded SC4.

It comes out March 10th.. tomorrow. Well at least tomorrow for me. You can buy it digitally from Steam or the Paradox website. Alternatively I hear it's also being sold as a boxed game, like as a physical CD. Feels strange to say that but apparently it's true. You could probably buy it in stores where video games are sold.

I see there's a little development going on across the wider river next to New SorGun.  Are there plans yet to bridge the river mouth?

My body is ready.

In the images I see a lot of repeating structures. The flexibility of the roads looks pretty solid though and the map sizes seem to be quite large to say the least. Please, let this game be up to par with our expectations, because I'm expecting a lot of good things. I'll gladly pay money for this. And the fact that Paradox is willing to put money into the city-building simulator market is great as well. Needs fresh blood.

As always such a deep level of detail!   I was starting to think you'd disappeared on us lol.

Longest session of uninterrupted play or without the game crashing? I don't think I've ever kept track. But I guess my longest would have been 6 - 8 straight hours (with breaks). I must have been seriously into something to play that long.

My personal boycott of EA products and services continues...

For the first few minutes I wasn't sure either. Since everything is Superbacon. I thought my account was hacked. I always forget it's April Fool's Day every April 1st.

Haha nice use or Noragami

Some people are already way ahead of you on that..

EMINENT DOMAIN! Really though, I do sometimes feel bad as well. When I build, upgrade and remodel any older, inner-city areas I try to preserve as much of the existing residents as I can. But let's say if I need to build a highway through an already existing neighborhood and there's no other way around it, I bring in the bulldozers. Sometimes I'll actually rip out whole neighborhoods to redesign them.

I'm thoroughly enjoying this game. Finally got a hand on the mechanics and my towns are stable and sustainable. All that's left now is to grow. I do however really wish that even the biggest map size were bigger.

I'm liking in the .gifs on your site how the roads can be laid out. I especially like how the buildings seem to be able to conform easily to the direction/angle of the road and the other buildings immediately around them. In SC2013 I didn't like how there was open space between larger zoned buildings. That really showed when the roads they were on curved or the city block wasn't large enough. Are you planning to throw in agriculture and zoning density?
