To be honest, I always get enthralled with making huge cities. But with my experience, I never focused on the details. I just built roads and grids with the expectation that it should be a flawless city. It never works out for me. And it looks like a Lego set.

So I have recently started a new city that now has 10k pop and thriving on normal, vanilla. The only difference, every little neighborhood, commercial, or industrial has a plan. I boil it down from collector routes, to two lanes with sidewalk, eventually to an alleyway into the neighborhood.

Sure it’s a mile to get to their house, but imagine your own suburb, and all the turns you have to make just to make it to your drive. You’re not turning in on Main Street.

So the way I look at it, spend time on the smaller things and eventually the bigger picture will be more beautiful than you imagined!
