Story:
I don't remember when I actually started playing CLS; maybe it was back in 2017. I'll be honest, I started playing a cracked copy of the game. Not anymore though :3
Watched a couple of Let's Plays and found out the game had several DLC. Of course the cracked copy I had didn't have any DLC so I tried searching for one with all the DLC. Found one, installed it... Boy that was a mistake... Who knew DLC actually increased the resource requirements of the game? My potato laptop, which was barely able to pull through the base game, just flopped when I loaded up this copy with all the DLC. It took, and I kid you not, about 30 minutes to an hour to actually start a new game and move past the loading screen. You know the crazy thing? I actually had the patience to wait for it ;_;
Give or take a couple months and the Mass Transit DLC just got announced. I was hyped! I really wanted to build monorails and blimps and stuff. Yeah, no cracked with Mass Transit unfortunately ;_;
Give or take a few more months and the game was on sale on Steam, so I bought it (Yay no more cracked for me). Was so happy to have an official copy, I decided to add a whole bunch of assets from the Steam Workshop. Yeah, my laptop didn't like that as well
I'm currently forced to use no assets and only the Mass Transit DLC if I even want to play the game at a "playable" frame rate.
Hope I can get a better computer soon so I can play with all the DLC.
I played a bit this weekend and created a city I'm pretty happy with. Forgive me for the terrible lighting from the picture, that's the best my laptop can do ;_;
