In the spirit of not throwing out old, imperfect things, I've continued my work transforming what began as my first ever city from 2018 into something new and beautiful. I remain committed to not using any mods which alter the gameplay simulation, I am using 81 Tiles, various Quality of Life and visual mods, and custom assets.

Real cities often start off as poorly planned conglomerations of conflicting interests which eventually grow into a singular entity - then, later on, efforts are made to give the city a fresh identity with new initiatives and infrastructure projects. Likewise, I am enjoying this build because it feels uniquely organic. Despite the fact that all of it was built by me, I probably wouldn't make a layout like this if I started from scratch today. So it really helps create that sense of an "old town".
