[CS 1&2] How would you describe your average city build? What are the key signs that a city was built by you? (lemmy.world)

Like may people, I enjoy watching other people play online and before streaming I used to do mayor's diaries (basically a city blog) with the Sim City 4 community. When I look at my cities over time a few trends emerge.

I'm curious what characterizes your cities? What are the giveaway brush-strokes showing a city was painted by you?

  • Full city trail systems. It's amazing how far cims will walk.
  • Colliding grids, I build urban and big, but I like to let smaller towns grow together over time. This resulting in misaligned grids and some "signature" streets with cool intersections.
  • Promenades, as an Urbanist, I'm almost always playing with the goal of maximizing transit/bike/ped travel while getting rid of cars and keeping trucks out of residential areas. There's almost always some grand pedestrian oval or linear park in my cities.

Giant hubs for industry with massive transportation to them, like an old Soviet city.

You sound like someone who knows how to handle colossal levels of truck traffic.
