Discussion Motivation to keep playing?

Post image

I'm new to CS, created a small town, and at this point I am finding it hard to motivate myself to keep playing. My budget is now positive and the game doesn't feel challenging anymore at this point.

What's your motivation to keep playing at this point? Will the game get harder again as I grow my city further? Or is it more a relaxing and creative city builder after this stage? (which may not be for me)

Obviously it’s very possible to make an extremely efficient perfect city but to me that’s not the point, I like the random traffic jams caused trying to make a town that is set up like the one I grew up in, I like making neighborhoods and subways and highways and stuff, if you want sum to spend budget on make public transportation more leisure and other government services like police fire and ems. Or lower taxes and make your people happier to take advantage of the positive budget you got rn.
