10+ Must-Have Mods for Cities: Skylines Cities: Skylines is easily one of the best city-building games to come out in a long time. Created by indie game developer, Collasal Order, C:S allows players to build their own city, manage everything from the bus lines to the laws, and do it all with beautiful, realistic graphics.

The base game of Cities: Skylines is really good. Throw in the official DLC and you've got a great management simulator. Adding in community-created mods into the mix takes things to the next level. We've compiled a list of some of the mods we use on the PC version of Cities: Skylines. If you've played through the game a number of times and wish to look at adding something new to the experience, take a gander at our recommendations.

1. Download this Cities Skylines Traffic Manager: President Edition Mod – create your city with a majestic architecture and work out with individual areas and smallest details in your city of dreams!
2. Cities: Skylines certainly wins the day for most up-to-date city-building simulator in 2020, boasting one of the most in-depth and fun to play city-building experiences since Sim City 3000. There is a plethora of Cities: Skylines DLC to check out, too, if you have the extra funds to shell out for it.

Traffic Manager. This all-in-one mod by LinuxFan adds an enormous number of features and control to the traffic mechanic in Cities: Skylines, like yield and stop signs, timed traffic lights, speed limits, vehicle restrictions, and more. You can also clear traffic completely and merge lanes with one another.

Automatic Bulldoze (v2)

This mod is actually a spin-off of the original Automatic Bulldoze mod, which is no longer supported by the developer. Luckily, Mexahuk took over and released a new version in the Workshop to allow mayors to continue taking full advantage of the automated removal of buildings. Why is this mod so important? When running a large city with thousands of people, it becomes a chore to spot and remove abandoned buildings. This handy tool takes care of it.

Precision Engineering

Colossal Order improved the road tools in the most recent free update rolled out with the Mass Transit DLC, but it hasn't gone far enough to replace everything Precision Engineering brings to the table. The mod adds angle and distance measurements when laying down asphalt, as well as height (relative to ground level). It actually works well with the latest version of Cities: Skylines, though there is a slight overlap.

City Vitals Watch

This is one of my favorites. City Vitals Watch gives you a glance-friendly overlay of all important statistics regarding city management. There are level indications for electricity, water, sewage, employment, trash, and more. This saves clicking on each services tab to see just how departments are performing.

Rush Hour

This is the big one. I don't recommend playing Cities: Skylines without Rush Hour enabled, it's that good. Unfortunately, the mod has yet to be updated to take advantage of natural disasters, let alone Mass Transit, but we're hopeful the developer will return to bring us up-to-date magic. Here's just a taster of what Rush Hour brings to the table:

• User-creatable events, allowing for buildings to have events of their own.
• Special random events that draw in a large number of 'cims'.
• Population reacts to the time of day (schools and jobs are more accurate), which progresses slower than vanilla — hence the mod name.

The last highlight we've covered is the main feature of Rush Hour, which offers more challenges to even more experienced city planners. Prepare your road network!

Traffic Manager: President Edition

Traffic Manager: President Edition adds a number of new features to — unsurprisingly — help better manage traffic. With this mod active, it's possible to toggle traffic lights and yield/stop signs at junctions, set up timed signals, modify speed restrictions, and even disallow vehicles on certain roads. My favorite feature is the ability to connect lanes to switch up which lanes vehicles need to be in to use a junction exit. Also, with this mod installed and the setting enabled, it's not required to install a dedicated no vehicle despawn mod.

Prop & Tree Anarchy

Crash bandicoot cd serial key. This is a super simple mod that simply allows for the placement of trees and props in-game under water, on roads or within building footprints. While this can lead to strange encounters where traffic moves through foliage stuck on roads if not removed, it's an incredible piece of kit that allows for a more realistic-looking city. Here's a helpful hint: use the More Beautification mod below with this one to get the most out of Prop & Tree Anarchy.

Network Extensions 2

Should you happen to find yourself with a lack of roads to choose from, Network Extensions 2 is your golden solution. This mod adds a number of new road types, including highways, residential roads, and even some dedicated public transport types.

Move It!

This mod does exactly what it says in the name. With it installed it's possible to move all manner of things, including buildings, trees, props, and nodes (for roads, quays, etc.).

Other Must-have Mods

Here are some other mods that are worthy of honorable mention, so be sure to check them out alongside our main feature list to see if any catch your attention.

This mod lets you add priority roads, control traffic lights, change lanes and add/remove crosswalks.

• You can add/remove traffic lights on all road junctions

• Set main and secondary roads.
• Diamond(yellow) sign is main road, all cars on that road have a priority over all other roads.
• Triangle(red and white) sign is secondary road, cars have to yield to vehicles from the main road. Stopping is not required.
• Stop sign is also a secondary road. Cars have to stop, look for incoming cars and if the road is clear - continue on their trip

Steam

• Manually control all traffic lights on a junction
• Useful for designing your timed traffic lights (See 'Timed traffic lights'), clearing traffic and role-playing as a traffic cop
• Important: Traffic lights revert to normal when inactive

• Set traffic light timers on one or more junction to allow for more heavy routes to clear more traffic.

• Configure multiple junctions at once to create a green wave.

• For people asking how to use it, here's a simple how-to:

1. Select timed traffic lights.
2. Select the desired junction (select one 4-way junction for a first-timer)
3. Click next.
4. Click Add State
5. Set the desired lights on the junction (don't click 'mode', as you want to use the simplest light for a first-timer); Example: set the 2 roads facing each other - green; and the other 2 - red
6. Set the desired amount of seconds you want the lights to be with the slider (for example: 12)
7. Click 'Add'
8. Click 'Add state'
9. Set the desired lights on the junction (again, don't click 'mode' - you want simple traffic lights); Example: reverse the lights - the ones that are red - make them green, and the ones that are green - make them red.
10. Set the desired amount of seconds you want the lights to be with the slider (for example: 8)
11. Click 'Add'
12. Click 'Start'
13. Now you have a junction that has a 4-way with one of the roads having 12 'seconds' of green time (it's not exactly seconds, but it's an easier naming) and the other having 8 'seconds' of green time

This will give you a basic idea of how things work. You can watch the video for more complex timed traffic lights.

• Change road lanes to allow/disallow lefts/rights, add more forward lanes, etc., traffic will start following it after 2-3 minutes. If you want cars to instantly start following them, use 'Clear traffic' button (See 'Clear traffic')
• Important: these lanes define the direction, not the road curve, so if you have a T-intersection with 45 degrees curve, forward is forward, not left/right. Sometimes you'll have to do it manually, since the base game does NOT do it that way)

• Clears all road traffic
• Useful when changing lanes, creating manual/timed traffic lights and to clear congestions caused by bad road planning.

• Enable/Disable despawning caused by traffic congestion or traffic being blocked.

• All cars that are on a same priority level (diamond - diamond, yield - stop - yield - stop), manual traffic lights, timed traffic lights or on modified lanes start to follow the rules for Priority on the right and wait for left turn(wait for right turn in LHD)

Cities Skylines President Edition

All roads that have priority signs, enabled manual traffic lights, timed traffic lights or changed lanes automatically start running under an additional layer - Traffic Manager's simulation. Everything else runs under game's simulationWhich means that cars start following the assigned lanes and same road priority. The base game sometimes assigns lanes that are not correct, which will cause traffic to not go through that intersection. You'll have to manually fix the lanes to the proper ones, so the traffic can start functioning again

• No 'save to cloud' support

• Zonable pedestrian roads
• Lane changer
• Toggle traffic lights
• All mods that override the Pathfinder; CarAI.CalculateSegmentPosition (both methods); CarAI.SimulationStep; RoadBaseAI.SimulationStep; HumanAI.CheckTrafficLights; PassengerCarAI.SimulationStep, CargoTruckAI.SimulationStep;
• All mods that modify NetNode and NetLane flags.(Yes, I know it sucks, I also want a common API/NAM/CKAN, but that will take some time)

When it encounters that another mod is overriding the PathManager, it disables 'Despawn' and 'Lane Changer' tools so it doesn't cause problems.Tested only with Traffic++

Please check yourself if your issue is caused by another mod, it's pretty hard to go through every mod and check if every functionality is working properly

It's important to check if your issue is caused by another mod. Disable and restart the game just to be sure. Some mods do not break everything in the mod, just parts of it, and debugging becomes very difficult.
