Late Monday evening, an outside actor pushed an update to the mod, which includes a .dll file which we believe is malicious.

If you have played using the affected version, please check your local files. If you have any malicious files installed, you will find them here; %localappdata%low\Colossal Order\Cities Skylines II.cache\Mods\mods_subscribed\ inside the folder 80095_13

Note that it is only specifically the 80095_13 folder that will contain malicious files; if you do not see this folder, you do not have the compromised version of the mod.

If you do locate this folder, use an antivirus or antimalware program to quarantine it and/or remove it from your system, and run a thorough scan of your drives.

As a precaution, we recommend changing your passwords.

For its first birthday, the game is (finally) publishing the announced region packs.

Cities Around the World kicks off on October 28, and it starts with France. After that, on November 11, the Germany region pack will be released. Then, on November 25, the UK pack will come out. 

Later, region packs will come out for Japan, China, Eastern Europe, Eastern US, and Western US. These don’t have dates yet, and more information about them will be released later. 

okay. here's a few things that trip me up: basically every exit lol, but specifically north-east. this corner is super weird. the road north (1 way) is not really connected to the roundabout, there is like a seperate road/lane that runs "past" the roundabout from east to west. but the roundabout has an exit to that road. and that road splits up into a lane onto the roundabout and one that runs past it.

i'm also not 100% on what to do about the slip lanes that still kinda brush the roundabout. i'm trying with curbless roads, but they're super finnicky

here's one more image with the streetview lanes

So, i am getting back into a cities project after being out of the game for a while. I'm using https://terraining.ateliernonta.com/ to generate heightmap and overlay image. it also exports OSM data (I also tried to do it manually with the same result)

now what happens is this. i think this has always happened. it seems like the "scale" is off. the roads are "correct" but slightly shifted in all directions. they're not all just slightly north like the picture. at one point it exactly overlaps and the rest is too far south. like the scale is wrong. like it's too small or something. but the OSM scale is 1. did i do something wrong?

(i looked through the github but couldn't find anything. also no similar things on the workshop comments right away)

Excerpt from the original post on Paradox Forums:

The two Creator Packs — Modern Architecture and Urban Promenades — have been completed by their creators. While the Economy Patch, Detailers Patch, and Decorations Patch are all part of our commitment to improving the base game, we are well aware that the Asset Editor is one of the most crucial remaining features in fulfilling our promise to make mods fully available in-game. To ensure we don’t split our focus, we’ve made the decision to push the release of the Creator Packs to Q4. This will also affect the upcoming release of Bridges & Ports Expansion that will instead come in Q2 2025. We will continue dedicating our efforts to the base game before shifting focus to paid content. Our goal is to ensure the community is satisfied with the state of the game, and once we’ve achieved that, we’ll be excited to release these amazing packs to you!

I'm a hardcore fan of Cities Skylines 1 and have been playing it for several years now. One issue I have though is how I go about making a highway system. It seems so complex, I don't understand how I can connect place to place in a reasonable way and I feel like the only proper way to do it is to ravage through regions of my city to make massive interchanges and efficient routes. My strategy as a result is just using 6 lane roads as my "highways" and kinda just avoiding the idea of highways altogether. I'm so bad at it that my idea of creating an on/offramp is retrofitting roundabouts. I'd love to hear people's thoughts on this and also how to get my mind thinking of the right ways to make good highways.

Since we wanted to get the homeless fix out as soon as possible and the decorations menu was ready to ship, we decided to bundle them together, along with a bunch of other bug fixes of course. Today, we’ll go through the new decorations menu, how props work, and what has changed with homelessness.

In Cities: Skylines 2, how do you usually organise your districts? What makes you decide an area should be a district? Roughly how big are your districts usually?

I feel like I might be overusing the districts a bit and it's getting a bit messy.

Just wanted to share my newest Texas inspired city

This mod looks revolutionary for what used to be possible in Cities Skylines..
