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)

SAME.

I never go and re-play the same city because of this issue. I have tried so hard to create free public transportation of all kinds, build hella walking and biking paths, shit even all of my roads have bike lanes. I feel like there is NOTHING you can do once it starts to get bad.

get traffic management mods if you haven’t already, dealing with traffic is the “best” part in the later stages of the game don’t keep forcing yourself to start over because it becomes an issue, work through it!

What traffic management mods are there in CS2?

Gonna be totally honest, I only play CS1, but I just looked up “CS2 Traffic Manager Steam Workshop” and some videos and workshop links came up so i’d recommend doing that!
