The ULTIMATE DLC & CCP Tier List For Cities Skylines In 2023!

[@fredkelly6953]

I think price should have been factored in as a lot of them are free to cheap which matter when you're starting out.

[@OVERCHARGEDEGG]

You can get pretty much each one for £5 more or less these days

[@onemorescout]

On the 29th you can get any of them for $7 or less on Steam anyways, even less on console with the bundles going on sale

[@MrBlazer688]

​@@onemorescoutthanks for the heads up! I was planning on getting some of these after watching the video , now I'll wait for the 29th😊

[@volentastudios4673]

I feel like the free ones are only bad because they are free and naturally aren’t as good as the ones with a price

[@atlanticrblx7784]

+15 social credits for reviewing every CCP

[@rebecca99994]

Interesting to hear your takes on this. It made me realise there's at least a couple of packs that I own and have never used to such an extent that I completely forgot they existed (Pearls of the East, High Tech Buildings).

[@OVERCHARGEDEGG]

Some decent assets in high tech! :)

[@thehandleisuseless]

I still use High Tech Buildings quite often

[@KepleroGT]

Pearls of the East's skyscrapers can definitely make your city center more interesting

[@starrwulfe]

I think I agree with 99% of your points Egg. Really glad they redid the African DLC and updated a bunch with new assets and vehicles. It’s a testament to CO’s commitment to listening to the community.

[@vanmego433]

now tell me what happened with part 2

[@dsb333]

"Very Strong Digital Cheeks" 😂😂

[@joepiekl]

The main issue with Snowfall is that it only has four maps and they've never released any more, even with the Map Packs. No doubt they're not allowed to release paid-for CCPs that have assets that only work if you've got another DLC, but it would be nice to have a few more snow maps. I actually really like building snow cities, but only two of the maps are decent and I'm on console so I can't download maps from the workshop.

[@carstarsarstenstesenn]

To me the fact that they stuck tramsbehind snowfall because they knew people wouldn't buy it otherwise makes snowfall a "digital cheeks." Also I love that name for the lowest tier haha

[@csch1510]

I bought the snowfall dlc as my latest because I knew I was not gonna build a single city in a snowy/winter setup

[@Ramotttholl]

Mas transit only a tier? Wow Personally id put it in number one spot as i cant stand not doing lane mathmatics 😂

[@minabasejderha5972]

I guess, for me, there is a big difference between "must buy for beginners" and "must buy later." Like, there are several DLC I wouldn't even think of playing the game without (After Dark, Mass Transit, Sunset Harbor, and Plazas and Promenades). But this is largely because they all include things that should have been in the base game (such as Bikes, Transit Hubs, 2 & 4 lane highways, inland water treatment, pedestrian roads, etc). So while I think they are must buys, they don't make me feel like I am getting *as much* value as others. So, for example, Parklife is excellent, and everyone *should* get it. But I don't think it is beginner friendly, and should be saved for after someone learns the game. Honestly, the worst offender for "has stuff that should be in the base game" is Sunset Harbor, because all the rest of it should have been in other DLC (eco stuff in Green Cities, helicopters in Natural Disasters, trolley's in Mass Transit, fishing in Industries, etc.). If the whole thing was a free update, it would have been a truly legendary show of good will, kinda like the recent updates felt like. But as it stands, it is a begrudging buy for me.

[@BoldWittyName]

Very well said

[@ben0329]

A great job pulling this all together Egg! It’s interesting (and reassuring) to see that Paradox/CO produced on the whole a good set of content. Only things I would add are: -Financial districts gave us banks which are great assets -Post offices didn’t get a mention on Industries 😢 -Pearls of the East and Matchday are free so that’s a plus -The two map packs didn’t get a mention but they are different to the other CCPs Overall a great tier list (and tabs) as always

[@grahamturner2640]

How many people use post offices?

[@ruedigerriege1529]

Hi @overchargedegg, I stumbled across Cities Skylines only a week ago and got seriously confused by all the DLCs and other addons. Your video totally cleared that up for me. This is not just the best video on Cities Skylines I have found so far, but probably one of the best videos on KZbin in general: Very informative, well structured, well paced and well presented. Thanks for putting all this together!!

[@ibrayuri8386]

Thank you for this entertainment video, I agree with you on 90% of the list my only sorrow that I wish there was a pack that have Eastern European and soviet buildings (residential, commercial, and unique ones) I feel that it would be very interesting thank you again and keep the nice work

[@bricks_and_cities]

Fantastic rundown of all of the DLCs and CCPs in Cities: Skylines. This game has had some truly amazing expansions that have made my gaming experience that much more fun.

[@kingofmashedpotatoes]

Always love the tabs Nice tier list as well 😂😂

[@OVERCHARGEDEGG]

Thank you KoMP!

[@Swanronson009]

[@howardyoo4070]

This is how a tierlist for a games content should look like. Alot of strong choice and only a few weak choices

[@_qwe_fk_1700]

i think the rating for match day and pearls of the east is pretty harsh since they are free dlc's. at least now they are now

[@dalton-at-work]

yea i got pearls for free anyway

[@Kkplayzoffical]

They should be C

[@generalxpancake5133]

really have fallen in love with your channel after falling in love with city building the last year. I started with cs2 and was like man this beats the crap out of cs1, of course I was only comparing base game. After watching and using a good bit of the dlc I now know why cs1 is so beloved and now I can play cs1 until cs2 gets fixed in a couple years

[@OVERCHARGEDEGG]

Thank you, appreciate you joining us! 🙏

[@minabasejderha5972]

Wait, you, of *all* people, didn't include the Map Packs?

[@OVERCHARGEDEGG]

Maps have their own tier lists

[@multigameswithryan9215]

I just use to video to get inspiration for my city, seeing all the background, with all the city stuff and ideas, I love it, I use it for my own city lol

[@OVERCHARGEDEGG]

Thanks! All filmed across our series if you wanna see them being built :)

[@esterlingo9664]

Great list Egg. I agree with your list and didn't feel like you rated anything too low that deserved higher. My top 10 are all in your must-buy and they honestly make the game for me. The other packs are used here and there.

[@Texhorns71]

This was a great list and I agree with with almost everything except for maybe one or two DLC's. Especially the "Must Buy" was just spot on.........Yes, I would like to see an Egg DLC. lol

[@bemanicat6779]

match day is free! for me, a must buy 😆 edit: pearls of the east too!

[@jons_7402]

For real. That alone completely removes it from the ranking to me. It should come automatically when you buy the game.

[@peterstainburn2871]

Pearls of the east and stadiums pack even though they were garbage, they were also free so for that reason I feel they should have been bumped up slightly.

[@willnss]

Thank you! I have almost every DLC and CC on Xbox One but recently got the game on Steam and since I'm low on money, had to pick only a few most important DLCs to buy (until a sale comes). Funny how I have almost all DLCS on console, but still am having a hard time figuring out which ones are the best. Thanks again ❤

[@OVERCHARGEDEGG]

Check out the instant gaming link in the description mate, no need to wait for a sale. Super cheap there, enjoy!

[@willnss]

[@ander4163]

For me the only must-buys are Mass Transit and Industries, specially if you play vanilla. Talking of course only about dlcs

[@yoshikamiyafujidesu]

Overall, pretty good video and I love watching tier list videos! I have to disagree with Vehicles of the World though. That pack gives you lot of additional choices for service vehicles, and I love having choices and selecting between different options with their own trade-offs. It also adds bendy busses, which is pretty cool.

Im at 775k pop with 0 dlc right now, trying to get to a million before cs2 comes out. Maybe I'll mess with the dlc in that game, just felt like bs in cs1 because i paid $20 for the game and now they want almost that much for each dlc and theres like 25 of them.

[@OVERCHARGEDEGG]

Check the Instant Gaming link mate, you can get them for 5 pounds a throw, don't pay full price for them this late into the game

[@UnforgivenCooop]

@@OVERCHARGEDEGG will do thanks

[@selina0]

A lot of them should be in the base game but that show how they make it, bring a very empty game out and then sell the content what should be in the maingame as dlc. It’s really not surprising that they failed city skylines 2. Everyone did should see the warnings about that company.

[@thatguyyouknowandlove]

Lol, the tabs at the top had me laughing. Great work!😆

[@joepiekl]

Isn't Pearls of the East free though? Seems a bit harsh in that case. I use that temple in pretty much every build. It's a great asset.

[@onemorescout]

Same with Match Day, it should be amongst the first you get because it's free.

[@hopin8krzys]

With the launch of CSL2 I watched a lot of videos about it and found myself wanting to play this game. Or rather, CSL1, because 2 is just... not worth it yet. But I'm missing some dlcs for 1, so here we are

[@OVERCHARGEDEGG]

Still plenty of life in cs1! Best city builder experience ever made and will be a good long while before cs2 even comes near it, enjoy!

[@hopin8krzys]

​@@OVERCHARGEDEGGOh I know, I used to play this game for solid few hundred hours, almost from the release to early 2019. But I didnt really got into it again since then, kinda moved mainly to WRSR for my city builder needs. Over time I picked up several dlcs, some bought, some for free, but until now I didnt realize just how much I was missing. Mainly content packs, I always just straight up ignored them, idk why. I already set up some alerts for dlc discounts, I hope to get back into CSL1 with more possibilities than I ever had. I also slightly upgraded my pc in this time, which should help massively, mainly my RAM went up from 8 to 24GB in 2021, and new faster ssds to lower loading time

[@ben0329]

Only just got as far as Sunset Harbour. As you were going through it (and Snowfall earlier) it made me wonder if Snowfall should be lower down as it’s only good thing is trams which are now somewhat level with Sunset Harbour which has many better wualities

[@Dar1usz]

I wonder why i dont see new buildings from Leno University DLC ... what the hell Paradox, releasing CCP without adding it into a vanilla game ? How i can manage to spawn these building in my vanilla build, anyone have idea ? Thanks for help !

[@4879daniel]

You can't, you just have to wait for spawn and bulldoze if it's not what you want.

[@OVERCHARGEDEGG]

They will spawn into a regular vanilla residential and commercial

[@dukethedog08]

The good thing about Match Day and Pearls Of The East is that they are free, because if they weren’t I don’t think anyone would have bought them lol

[@kadeedwards4390]

Just a shame Green Cities, Campus and several others are not available from your link

[@OVERCHARGEDEGG]

The codes are region specific and come in and out of stock all the time, check back in a couple days, they'll probably have restocked in your region

[@trpdopezz1303]

Is it worth buying any dlcs now since the new game is coming out I have none

[@OVERCHARGEDEGG]

Really depends how much you are enjoying just the base game. Cities 2 will be quite different to full package CS1, cheap now too. I'd say explore the must buys, if you enjoy them, the rest of them too

[@dulguunjargal1199]

You should buy Disasters DLC if you want to have fun and destroy your city. a Tincy tiny bonus of this DLC is that you can destroy a Landfill and not have to manually unfill it to bulldoze

[@spookysenpai7642]

Mass Transit, Airports, Parklife, Green Cities, and Train Stations Content Park DLCs are my favorites for train/metro enthusiasts. Sunset Harbour is another must-buy since it adds fisheries and trolleybuses (they're a mid-A tier because they've added new buses improving their usefulness), but more of a high B tier since it is not as intriguing as other DLCs and not a lot of content compared to other DLCs. Still, those are valid DLCs that are S/A tier with Sunset Harbour being a valid exception because of Trolleys and Intercity buses. This is just my opinion.

[@BoldWittyName]

Great list! University City CCP houses are neat becuase they actually upgrade rather than get torn down and replaced with a different house.

[@Jalmaan]

I highly recommend picking up match day anyhow as it's free haha Same with Pearls of the East

[@thesimfarmer877]

The only one I disagree with is After Dark, cycle lanes make it an absolute must buy. Great content as always, thanks 👍

[@BoldWittyName]

Heart of Korea is underrated. 2 zoning types and fills midrise niche. The buildings are distinct from one another- unlike European Suburbia or MC Modern, yet they blend well into the motif of the game. S Tier.

[@OVERCHARGEDEGG]

Glad you enjoyed!

[@larkendelvie]

Thanks Egg -- nice to have a comparison of them all. I would move Sunset Harbor up a bit and drop University down one - just based on the fact I use Sunset Harbor and the fish factories as a way to continue General Goods production with less pollution. Once you get just 1 algae farm you can also reduce your waste water processing needs. Set up a bunch of Seaweed Farms and factories and you really don't need much general industry at all. For University I usually set aside some land (for all 3 campuses) and just use the basic one until after the Industry areas are mature. Currently what I'm loving about Hotels pack is when you can place the little cabins - literally early enough that with some dirt roads and utility connection you can set up a pretty steady income stream with little infrastructure - all this at Tiny Town - really fills in an income hole right when all the roads and service buildings become available and necessary.

[@namyzarc6269]

Only thing I'd change is maybe move the airports up a tier (or two). Building an airport is almost as much fun as building the city itself to me.

Wonderful breakdown of the DLC and CCP currently available for Cities Skylines, thank you for your interpretation of each pack. Your opinions are appreciated as you walked us through each of the packs, thank you. My question going forward is, will these packs work with the new version of the game coming out this fall? Now this might not be answered until the new game is released and the creators of the DLC and CCP have an opportunity to debug and or update their product but I am curious as there is no mention of this in the "Feature Highlight" series that has come out with the new game information.
