Official Mods for Cities: Skylines 2 are here | Move It | Beach Properties DLC

[@thephantomchannel5368]

The new tagline for CS:2 should be "If you can dream it, maybe a modder can add it to the game".

[@rigf1997]

but tbf that was literally the only way cities skylines 1 stayed relevant

[@rowaystarco]

CS1 was also irrelevant without mods.

[@Maeniel83]

Yep, at this point modders are the only hope for this project - I struggle to call it a product at this point. There is just no excuse for a Beach DLC without beach texture - I am still a huge fan of CS1 but CS2 is in such a bad situation, most ppl would loose their jobs anyway what their jobs were if they would work like this / deliver something like this.

[@lennyghoul]

Only they would release a Beachfront Properties DLC without a beach... maybe the beaches will arrive in a future Swiss Alps DLC🤣

[@onemorescout]

Or somebody will just make one for free like in CS1

[@Jive33]

All I have ever wanted is Move It. Literally just that one mod. I stopped playing a day after I downloaded SC2, been waiting for Move It to continue playing again.

Same!

Yeah, me too.

WOW that Utah map looks incredible. I have high hopes for the future of this game.

[@kungfujiujitsufliptrick4832]

Looking at that canyon map I just get a feeling modding is going to save this game and make it a worthy sequel

[@ndwiggins23]

In truth, the original was so great because of the mods and assets too, at least in my opinion. It made sense that there would be two launch dates for C:S2: the initial one, and then the day mods became officially integrated. I feel like this release is finally the game we've been waiting for 🔥

In the same boat, still waiting for the assets to come before I end up picking it back up. I need that variation and flavor to make me want to keep playing.

[@extrabytes7191]

Already starting with DLC's when the base game isnt even functional... typical paradox moves.

[@user-wq9mw2xz3j]

they add new paid content, but not the free (complete) asset packs despite them messing up with the launch 😂

[@Nikx-youtube]

Its because there are people who have already paid for this DLC (like me) so they kinda have to release what they promised as soon as its ready

[@JouleThief29]

@@user-wq9mw2xz3j That's because the asset packs are released on Paradox Mods which does not support assets yet 🤷

[@unknownhybrid4496]

I have been waiting for this moment for months! I've been religiously watching your videos and other creators for cities 2. I've been holding off playing cities 2 because it's impossible to move anything correctly. I only have 50hrs on 2 but around 400+ on the first game.

[@Da__goat]

Given how Paradox's latest business model is to sell half-baked games farted out to extort its player base, and C:S2 suffers much the same as their recent releases like Vic 3 and Imperator:Rome. Not using the Steam Workshop, which is the only reason why Cities 1 has been kept alive for so long post release, is downright unacceptable and a slap in the face to the player base. This gives Paradox full control over whether or not to shut down the modding space after the game finishes development in 5 years and they need to get the community to move to a new, higher priced game or purchase some exorbitantly priced DLC. Their business model sucks and continuing to make these purchases and support this company that does not care about its player base because it has enjoyed functionally zero competition is not something I ever intend to be doing again. Cites 2 launched unoptimized and is a shadow of Cities 1, and it is totally unacceptable to have DLC before the base game is even functional. That's a turd on the chest of the player base. Paradox can go pound sand.

[@jackmerrill8424]

I know we’re all disappointed and we have been for a while, and this is not good enough yet and I agree with that, but take a moment to think of how fucking good this is going to be in a few years

[@ThaJay]

Indeed. 225 hours is still enough for now. That was almost all last year. Maybe next big update I'm installing it again.

[@bdayapraar6673]

3:47 pm 25th of March in Australia and still no update. What time is it releasing?

[@malcolmtucker7489]

as said before this game has so much potential to offer, but paradox needs to fix the performance issues first

[@rico4.700]

WE ARE SO BACK nvm i just remembered how much i didnt like the base game lol

[@Ramotttholl]

for me, simply adding the map editor is enough for me to get back into it.. that said this week alot of games i like come out so.. it can wait.

[@jackychanmaths]

to fit those beach areas......... without the beach............ so ridiculous

[@onemorescout]

Remember that SimCity 4 launched with beaches 21 years ago

[@BenriBea]

That utah map still gives me high hopes for the future, but for now, we have 4 new trees I guess

[@GordonNadezda]

I added several Code Set mods. Now, when I open a game, the UI is gone. The only way to do anything is to shut down. I can't figure out which mod is doing this.

[@PauxloE]

7:10 For safety it's recommended to cut traffic to a street before moving it around. (Not sure whether that's actually possible here.)

[@hfbdbsijenbd]

Move It should have been built into the game. The only reason it wasn't built in was so Paradox could have a reason to coax people into using thier unnecessary mod service.

[@Fujiberri9800]

I still didnt get the update? Its been 4 days and somehow, still no mods for the microsoft store version

[@tmg7476]

$10 on Steam. Would not be impressed if free. The NA are not Florida beach properties. Might work for the Carolinas. But no beach. No beach props (just 4 trees). And only low residential. This would be like an airport DLC giving you a NA terminal and EU terminal and that's it. Will wait and see if my favorite asset creators develop or port assets to CS2 before I do anything more with CS2. They are releasing Beach strictly because they promised one for the Ultimate purchase.

[@ThereWillBeCake]

Thanks for the update!

[@mygetawayart]

oh MoveIt, HOW I'VE MISSED YOU

[@Kayambo974]

My cars keeps on getting blurry whenever I zoom in… please help…

[@spartan117zm]

I love how it took them six months to literally just clone the Steam Workshop and even still it’s just a beta with no asset support, and all for stuff that should’ve been built into the base game after all this time. Excellent video as always, Akruas, but this feels a bit pathetic from Paradox

[@r3dkoolaide]

Find it should have been day one, haven’t heard a word about it

[@capitalinventor4823]

Goes from saying that he has high hopes for the future of modding to talking about the beachfront properties “DLC” when there’s no beaches in the game. :)

[@rchiggins2930]

How did you remove the lane highlighting (ie the parking lanes are darker than the driving lanes)?

[@MisterMotel]

That is a mod that was already available on Thunderstore mods

[@MazovianProductions]

Move it looks nice like combined with node controller

[@showyourteeth2180]

Thx Akruas, since I play the game similar to you, I probably follow your advice. Modding support (and MoveIt) is a step in the right direction. However no custom assets is a bummer. Sticking to CS1 for now. And follow your great series.

[@moizesbrando]

the buildings looks creepy and uncanny

I disagree. They look fine.

[@GregSlimSkinnyParkerMinnesota]

[@282sleeper]

Paradox Mods, are they Update proof? Not like Steam workshop where everything broke on update for the game?

[@RedVelocityTV]

Modders have to fix this game just like CS1 to make it playable again....

[@pixel-ink]

Moveit is the best update for me!! Does it raise/lower roads/tracks that are bridges?

[@sebastientumahai9560]

So will paradox mods be available on console edition? When that inevitably releases

[@capitalinventor4823]

The Beach Properties is not a DLC. I had thought that the Beach Properties was too small for a DLC and I was looking on the Steam site to see what the DLCs for CS1 included so that I could get an accurate rant going but then I noticed that the Beach Properties is listed as an Asset Pack and not a DLC.

[@petitkruger2175]

Ok but why didnt they just put all the great CS1 mods into CS2 base game? Have the devs ever played CS1 without mods (its sucks btw)?

[@thephantomchannel5368]

It really does feel like the people who built version 1 had nothing to do with version 2. All they had to do was include the top ten essential mods from version 1. The joke is that the mods that made version 1 playable are now equally as essential in version 2. Why they botched the sequel so badly is beyond me as they should have known better. I guess the CEO has more important decisions to make like if she will ride her pony or her jaguar to work. The modders deserve a piece of the pie considering it is their work that keeps these franchises alive.

[@tifoqx]

Im still waiting for more panel buildings in cs II

[@Benjamin_Gilbert-Lif]

Move it just needs to be a base game feature

[@marcioantoniodorazio9235]

why did they broke the TAA??? 😭😭😭😭

[@impy1980]

TL:DR on the "DLC", wait for a Steam sale before buying. Move It, wouldn't expect anything less, already looking good. I haven't opened C:S2 since before Christmas, same reason as many others, it's just not where it needs to be.

[@Unclethwomp]

I hope it would be playable on Xbox or PlayStation

[@HenryRoss-wu4lo]

❤@City builds!!!

[@vomm]

Beach Properties DLC without even having beaches in the game lol .. and this stupidity got higher priority than fixing the game first. What a joke Paradox has become.

[@christophzeiner697]

Because of the mods I owe myself one more try just to justify paying for a unfinished base game. Let’s hope CS 2 isn’t like Windows XP vs. Vista, my hope is a solid Win 7 😉

[@Y_aaaaa]

a dlc allready ? wow hope it wont cost 50 bucks

[@Synan.]

Paradox left the workshop because of some members of the community itself, the forever unfixed assets , leaving steam and removing everything ,chaos action,mods with errors, and so on ,i hope PDX mods will take care of all this issues in the future. Till now, look promising.

[@capitalinventor4823]

Being on a different platform won’t change the fact that the people who maintain the mods either get too busy with other stuff or decide to not maintain them anymore. There was nothing to stop Paradox from maintaining mods or trying to find new maintainers when they were hosted on Steam. I think that moving the mods to Paradox is all about the company attempting to gain a lot more information about the players that Steam was collecting with the first version. The players are losing a lot with the move because on the Steam Workshop a community had been created. Certain users are well known (for good or bad) and it was good to be able to access many of one’s games extras in one place. It wasn’t a perfect system but I doubt that Paradox is going to be making a better one in the near future.

[@Synan.]

Yes, the majority lost because of minority ,how the supervising will look we will see.

[@darkphoenix2004]

[@BirbarianHomeGuard]

Wish the map mechanics and road tools were in vanilla CS1.

[@PotLid]

Finally!

[@timmy65748]

now we can see like that? no... when can we get this new step?

[@lsf3og]

Although CS1 also became great after all the community mods I have no hopes for CS2 going the same path. This game feels dead since they went official with „no steam“ workshop. The steam workshop is a real pita, but being forced to make another account for basically getting a poor copy of the workshop seems like a very stupid decision. Feel free to disagree ;-) Edit: I also don’t get why they didn’t add move it, node controller and all the other essential tools to the base game. They could be optional for „advanced“ players who want to build more realistic looking cities.

[@JouleThief29]

I don't see any disadvantages with Paradox Mods especially because it will come with light modding support for the console folks. I see this as one of the only things done right in the launch of this game. Move it, Node Controller do not come with the base game because they can "break" the game and could be considered "cheating" I guess. They are power tools for advanced users and don't need to be in the base game because of that imo. Also, I don't want to know how much more buggy the game would have been if the devs had to also implement these mods.

[@exidrial431]

Haha they're literally releasing a beach themed beach properties pack without the game even having beaches. It's the perfect metaphor for the state the game is in. And the fact that they inflate the "asset" count by counting the recolors is so damn pathetic. It's 30 unique assets total, counting the trees. That's not even worth 5€ in my opinion.

[@capitalinventor4823]

Agreed. From the Steam page: Beach Properties features 70 new assets, including: 10 North American residential buildings with 3 levels (30 assets) 10 European residential building with 3 levels (30 assets) 6 signature buildings 4 New trees

[@ThaJay]

It's 30 total and should be free for all players as an apology

[@dxelson]

when are they gonna put mods behind a pay wall_ XDD

[@JoritSbt]

hilarious

[@Avyez]

It baffles me that players still hope for betterment for this title, as its launch was a downright disaster. Even after nearly half a year, it barely functions, lacks tons of features and is overall just a really bad game. On the other hand, it's just amusing to see how desperate 'content creators' are to breathe life into this long gone corpse, just to save their petty channels. That's the most fun you'll ever get out of this trash heap.

[@ThaJay]

There is nothing that even comes close to CS1. CS2 actually is an improvement in a lot of ways. It just doesn't work correctly yet and could have more content. People are mad because they released 2 years too early and had a taste of the sauce but they can't use it properly yet so everybody is stuck either getting frustrated over the comparatively clunky controls of the first game, not playing a city builder at all or playing a subpar copycat. Nobody is happy but there is no doubt this is the successor to CS1. That's also why people won't shut up about it. We're in limbo and we want out.

[@Hyouka-Hates-Handles]

no steam workshop so it doesnt matter

[@HeLveTiCxHeRoS]

Thanks. Still several miles from being worthy of purchase. I try to avoid half-baked, half-arsed products selling for full price. Far from easy given that's the norm these days.

[@Kleavers]

Move It should have been part of the default game.

[@sammy4282]

I’m really hoping Move It being available so early isn’t a sign of the devs’ approach to these types of tools on vanilla...

[@ThaJay]

The road tools are way better than in the first game. That's not the issue. CS1 is pretty much unplayable after you have put in a few hours building roads in CS2. They're that good. I want to use them again but have put in enough hours for the current state of the game. This update should have been the bare minimum at release in november. That's 4 months ago.

[@Rysdad1]
