Top Cities: Skylines II Gameplay Mods in 60 Seconds or Less

This is a lightning round of what I consider the best Cities: Skylines II gameplay mods! I've broken them out into three tiers:
1. Must Have Mods - those I can't live without, should arguably be part of the base game.
2. Should Have Mods - those that really elevate the gameplay.
3. Nice to Have Mods - those quality of life mods that improve small parts of the game.
I'm distinguishing "gameplay" from map and asset mods, since those could be a whole different video.
And of course, all credit goes to the awesome Cities: Skylines II modding community! Thank you modders!

Hope you will consider periodically making updates on this topic. I’m sure the modding landscape will change drastically as paradox mods comes out of beta and more mods are introduced.

[@skilzthatkilz11]

Totally! Especially excited for Traffic to enter its full glory and for the asset importer to come out

[@ingmar7389]

Thanks!

[@andrewd2212]

Hi, great stuff. I would add traffic lights enhancement (even though its an alpha release i have found it stable). You've shown me a few mods that I hadn't thought to try.

[@skilzthatkilz11]

To be honest I used to have TLE, but didn't really use it that much. Good shout out though. My hope is that all of that will get rolled into Traffic eventually.

Just like with the first game the modes saved the day for both games. If it wasn't for the moders put out game making great mods both Cities Skylines 1&2 would have lasted as long as they have. I could play Cities Skylines 2 at launch because of no mod support, and I wouldn't be play it now if the mod support was available. I want to thank each and every single modder who help save this game, you all deserve a part of the profits the developers charged the beta tester who paid full price for game that was both broken and completely not ready to be launched when it was supposedly ready. I for one will never ever preorder another game from either companies colossal order paradox.

[@skilzthatkilz11]

I'm always amazed by how much work the modding community does, just for their own enjoyment. 100% thanks to all of them. AND they're answering questions/debugging on Discord all the time. It really does look like a full time job.

Basically, the modders saved CS1 and CS2

[@skilzthatkilz11]

Ha I came to CS1 suuuuper late, and on Xbox, so never saw it in its early PC state. But yeah I built my first PC for CS2 because I knew mods would be gamechangers (no pun intended)

[@user-wq9mw2xz3j]

except they didnt and cannot because the simulation performance is worse than for the first game, and mods wont fix that. Plus the whole point of cs2 was basically not having to rely on unstable and performance decreasing mods.

[@dirk751]

Ik zou dat ook zo willen, maar ik ken er niks van Please help in geval van wil ik daar voor betalen Vele groeten en hopend op een positief antwoord.

[@dirk751]

lIk ben 61j gepensioneerd en gek van het spel en zie dat jij skilzthatkilz11 dat al op je scherm staan hebt.

Het spijt me, ik begrijp het niet. Google vertaling is slecht :/
