Timboh’s Marvelous Interchange Emporium alleviate some of the pressure, and show you want talented people can do with some tarmac. I love making road networks, as I suspect anyone who came to Skylines after Colossal Order’s Cities in Motion would, but it’s tricky and takes up a lot of time.

This collection of junctions is a mainstay for me, and has been since just after Cities: Skylines launched, though it’s grown a lot since then.

It’s a gorgeous six-track station based on the real Amsterdam Centraal, and it’s fat with details. Amsterdam Centraal Stationīut if you want a train station that’s also an in-your-face piece of architectural art, then you’ll be wanting something like Amsterdam Centraal Station. If you’re looking for subtlety over flair, then this is the transport link for you. I love it when cities try to hide large buildings and infrastructure, making them seem more open, so I guess I like sunken train stations too (whether in brick and concrete). If you don’t want to sift through hundreds of buildings, this is a great time saver.

The Quad Collection contains a whopping 166 items, and while I’m a fan because of the vast number of flashy sci-fi or sci-fi-adjacent buildings like Xenophilia, it’s also full of contemporary skyscrapers and offices that would fit perfectly in any modern city. There’s plenty inbetween, too, including schools and skyscrapers. It contains everything from a giant hamster statue to a KFC, Taco Bell combo. Gula’s Architectural Designs is a 24-item collection from the titular modder, and it’s a corker. Okay, Okay, you don’t all want futuristic cities. Get this building to let all your citizens know that the state will crush them. It’s also practical, providing electricity for all the terrified ants scurrying below. Is there a hint of Brutalism about it? Who cares, it looks bad ass. Let’s stay in the future with the imposing, monolithic power station FOGBAE-TOWR4. The police tower looks a little bit off during the day, I think it’s all the black, but at night it’s incredible. The Tyrell pyramid is particularly impressive, and it’s perfect if you want something in your city that screams malevolence. You can’t get more ostentatious than these two buildings. While we’re talking cyberpunk, let’s not forget about Blade Runner. Blade Runner Police Tower and Tyrell Corporation Pyramid This makes the Ghost in the Shell Buildings pack essential, though it’s more understated than a lot of my sci-fi mods, making it a solid addition to a contemporary city as well. You’ll undoubtedly notice a theme in this list. The first question I ask myself when building a new city is how futuristic and gaudy do I want it to be? The answer is always: as gaudy and futuristic as possible. Most of these mods will work with the base game, but there are a few you’ll need one of the expansions for, and remember to check for conflicts. If you don’t want to faff, however, I’ve gathered a bunch of the best, including some personal favourites that I can’t live without. And you should absolutely give Steam Workshop a browse - you never know what you might find.

That’s quite a lot of stuff to get through.

On the day of its launch, Skylines already had pages and pages of buildings and complicated junctions waiting to be downloaded now there are 1,000 of them, containing a ridiculous 145,948 mods.
