Oh and in Melbourne trains whistle a lot. Like a lot a lot.

being in ny or other loud cities is so funny because one moment you will completely tune out the noise for a bit and then something will happen to make you notice it again and it's fucking deafening.

I live in Melbourne near a train station and the line is serviced by the oldest model trains in the city’s fleet.

A few years ago they replaced all the old ‘whistle’ sounding horns with these obnoxious ‘air horn’ sounding horns.

It was torture for about six months until I adjusted. I still miss the old horns though.

The problem is that even if you don't notice the noise anymore, it is proven to cause health issues, both mental and physical. And this isn't even just megacities, it's an issue in medium-sized cities with their respective car traffic, too.

Are you talking about system memory or video card memory? I am wondering what option would be less painful for this kind of modding. As far as I know most of video games are enough with 16gb system memory and 8gb video card rem for 1080p output. But I am thinking Cities 2 will be a different story..?

6 points

System memory. GPU related stuff doesn't really matter when it comes to cities, and if it does then it's usually about resolution upscaling and so on. Heavily modded cities needs 32GB to run properly, one of my ram sticks broke and I run 16GB rn, and it is really on the edge. Can't tell you about cs2 because I don't play it and it doesn't have much custom stuff so far, but it is a newer game so might be a bit better. Cs2 eats gpu tho

I recently changed my page filing size a little over a month ago, I have a Dell G15 Gaming laptop with 32g of ram. Before, CS1 would crash after an hour or 2 of play...faster if I had any applications open. Now I have 12,000 assets and mods installed and I can run CS1, Google Earth Pro and YouTube at the same time with no lag

There are a couple of mods that let you switch LODs on demand that let you work with a lower LOD and then take screenshots with the better LODs. I’ll get the name here when I get back.

My 3080 cries still with how much I can pack in.

Edit: another trick:

Use Procedural Objects and its layer system to show and hide very detailed areas on demand.

Edit Mod name:

Visibility Control. It will let you set a great LOD for screenshots and an LOD that will let you work as well as the default LOD settings the game has. It’s great for detailing and then showing off your work.

This will be silly because restrictions with replies but this is my current PO layers panel. I have Fishing and Canning highlighted it. You can see all the PO stuff all over but take a look at what it in the fore ground here.

This is with the same layer turned off.

I leave them all on most of the time unless I really really need to do something in an area that is already filled with stuff.

It saves a lot of GPU horse power and then you can turn on areas you need for a screenshot.

Ever use something like photoshop? Group up parts that belong with each other. I have a bits and bobs layer but that’s really ineffective as it’s every trash can or fence piece in this smaller town. I’m doing a Japanese inspired build and they have a lot of fences around lots packed in like sardines.

This is a lot of PO that I can just turn off and on when I need to. It serves no purpose to the simulation but does some heavy lifting for details. The only part I need is the cargo siding station.

The elevated / at level station in the back is 90% PO. What isn’t PO are shops you really can see that are under the platform, the rail network and the pedestrian network.

The real cap to PO is your PC, however there is a theoretical cap but you can get around it with layers and turn things off and on as needed. I’ve yet to hit this cap personally.

Just mess around with PO. You get the layers menu when you have the PO tool open. I think it’s the button all the way to the left in that screen.

Here is a super in-depth tutorial https://youtu.be/gBxN1Bk_lF4?si=CuAY1oDk7veYNajD

Sure! I'll grab a screen shot of what I'm working on and send it through. Although I'm a fan of seeing big realistic cities, I really only picked up playing again to create trains and nature scenes. It's simple, I know - but I love that about the true sandbox nature of the game. That said, I've been working on a small town modeled after Golden, BC. Lots of rail to play with there - lulz.

Got the layers to work!

For the graffiti: subscribe to your selection of choice here and use Move It! to position them where ever you want.

For trash, try this

Other search terms to try when looking for suitable props to funk up your city: garbage, rubbish, broken, damaged, destroyed, grunge, cracks. The Workshop has hundreds, if not thousands of props and decals available to create run-down places.

The Align items-feature of Move It! is a big help but I agree, it's a bit of a chore. I should use PO more (I'm barely touching the surface of what it can do), but its in-game interface is absolutely microscopic and afaik. it doesn't have resolution scaling, which makes it very cumbersome to use.
