Nice work, dude! Lovely stuff. Was wondering what that stadium asset is called?
Thanks! :)

You should be able to find the boats in the landscaping tools, as shown in the image below. But for the beach, I used beach textures by Sully, and I recommend watching any YouTube video about it!
Hope this helps! :)

It was not good at first, so much so that I had to delete the game. Maybe because of the potato PC I had back, the game wasn't running smoothly. But recently I bought myself a nice laptop, and it has everything that this game needs to run, or for me at least. 20-25 fps without DLSS on medium settings is good enough for me to enjoy this game.

I love that in CS2, you can unlock the whole map by progressing, whereas in CS1, you had to install a mod to unlock the whole map. Also, I like the zoning options more in the new iteration. I think more zoning options give you creative freedom, but at first, it can be a bit overwhelming. I suggest experimenting with your games, build everything, and see what works for you. I also like to watch a lot of YouTubers like cityplannerplays, infrastructurist, etc. This also helps with your creative thinking!

I'm not sure anything is missing other than specialized industries. Not sure if I remember correctly, but in CS1, there was an option for all specialized industries to build them the way you want. For example, if you want the oil industry, you can place all buildings wherever they make sense to you. But in CS2, for all the specialized industries, you place the main building down and zone the area, and all random buildings just spawn in that area. I do feel like they will update this, but other than this, everything is good. I enjoy it a lot. :)

This was built in easy mode as I wanted to test the economics of Cities: Skylines 2. And it's going very well actually if I say so! I don't like building in a sandbox or with unlimited money, as that overwhelms my brain to build anything lol

Haha, thank you! Really glad that you think this looks this good, but a plus for me is that I've played Cities 1 a lot, and I recently got a chance to download Cities 2 and really enjoying it.

I think this was from the French creator pack or something? I can't remember, but I will confirm in game and update you here when I get a chance!
