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. Cities: Skylines turned three a couple of weeks ago, meaning that it’s time to dust off our best Cities: Skylines mods list and see what wonderful community creations we can fill it with.
