Hello Everyone , Even though I'm new to SimCity, I've been having a great time creating and running my towns. But I've found that a lot of the amazing constructions published in this forum have a realistic touch that a lot of my cities lack. I would be grateful for any guidance and recommendations from more seasoned gamers on how to improve the authenticity of my city constructions. These are the particular places I'm having trouble with: Zoning & Layout: How should zoning be applied to provide a realistic and natural city layout? Do you employ any particular patterns or strategies for residential, commercial, or industrial zones? Road Networks: I've found it difficult to design effective and practical road networks. Which techniques work best for creating road layouts that resemble actual cities in both appearance and functionality? Public transit: Another area I could use some help with is efficiently integrating public transit. Which public transit systems function best in which kinds of cities, and in what ways might they be seamlessly integrated? Detailing and Aesthetics: Which important aspects do you emphasise to give your city a more realistic feel? Do you employ any particular mods, materials, or methods to up the realism factor? Growth & Development: How could you control your city's growth and development to make sure it changes in a way that makes sense over time? How can one strike a balance between growth and preserving a unified urban environment? https://steamcommunity.com/app/255710/discussions/0/3200366575422119924/ I would be very grateful for any guidance, materials, or case studies you could provide to assist me get better at creating cities. I'm also willing to consider suggestions for any essential plugins or mods that will improve the realistic feel of my creations. Thank you in advance.
