R Cities Skylines (2024)

FAQs

Why is no one getting educated in Cities: Skylines? ›

Does Every Citizen Go To College? In real life, you decide if you want to attend college. This is implemented in Cities: Skylines 2 as well. Citizens can choose if they want to attend college or not, which means that not everyone will become college/university-educated.

City attractiveness is affected by citizen happiness, land value, and unique buildings in the city. The average city attractiveness value is shown in the city info panel and the tourism info view. Land value can be increased by building parks and plazas, which also help zoned buildings in the city to level up.

Unemployment, low health, and lack of safety causes unhappiness in citizens. Happiness is primarily achieved by offering your citizens all the required services, and by developing an efficient and balanced city. Balance and efficiency are quite important. A low-level, low land value city can be quite a happy one.

Absolutely! DLCs just add more to the game and enhance the experience, but they aren't required. If anything, it's better to get used to the base game first, then add DLCs later. Just like Sims 4, it's actually probably better if you get accustomed to the base game first and add stuff one by one later.

The number one issue that leads to mass sickness and death in Cities: Skylines is a contaminated water supply. If water pumps draw up brown, polluted water, or if water towers sit on polluted land, then the citizens who drink this water will start to get very sick very quickly.

Severe lack of well-being means people leave the city because of the poor conditions. You can affect your citizens' happiness by keeping them safe and offering them recreation and education.

Now the game has a built in limit of 1.04 million citizens. So if you build a city (which is easier than you may think) with a population of 1,040,000 citizens you're probably looking at around 104,000 deaths at least every 52 minutes or 2,000 every minute or 33 deaths every single second of real-time play.

Whats the max pop i can get in a normal game? 1 million population IS the vanilla limit, but it is not reachable without mods. You can't have 1 million people in a vanilla 9-tiled city, even using 81 tiles you may reach the road and building limits of 49,000. Oh and, you can't reach above 1 million, as it is the limit.

Buildings are abandoned as a result of failures of services and infrastructure.

What happens if taxes are too high in Cities: Skylines? ›

Higher taxes increase the weekly income but have a negative effect on demand. Residents and businesses start to protest if taxes are raised above 13-14% for too long, but a short tax hike is a good way of earning some quick cash if you don't want to take out another loan.

One of the most simple reasons is death.

If areas of your city are plagued with sewage, pollution, dead bodies, or sickness, then the population will begin to dwindle.

Both SimCity and Cities: Skylines offer unique gameplay experiences, with SimCity being a more streamlined and arcade-style experience and Cities: Skylines being a more realistic and complex simulation game.

Starting out in Cities: Skylines 2 can be a little intimidating, as the realistic city builder has many complex and detailed systems that, if not managed correctly, can quickly result in the downfall of your city.

Which Cities: Skylines 2 Edition Is the Best? Considering the scheduled expansions and price tags, the Standard Edition of Cities: Skylines 2 is the most cost-effective option. However, hardcore fans of city-building games—and content creators—will benefit from the DLCs in the Ultimate Edition.

The Education Boost policy will encourage citizens to prioritize education over employment. At a cost, this will raise the average education level your citizens achieve. The Educational Blimps policy places educational posters on the sides of blimps, which boosts education slightly with no extra cost to the city.

You need to ensure you have a full set of educational buildings, make sure you have full coverage of all school types (elementary and highschool) Then build libraries to boost the base education. Then as soon as you're able (once you hit the big city milestone) make sure you start building universities.

Garbage build-up can also cause your population to decline. If residents have too much trash build-up due to poor garbage management, they can either become sick or just decide to move away. It's entirely possible that residents are fed up with the city and leave.

Each academic year, a University Campus has a chance to create one academic work per 500 students up to a maximum of four academic works that year. Each Campus has a base chance of 30%, and the probability can be increased by employing academic staff and constructing certain buildings.
