I made this so long ago, I cannot remember all of the assets I included. You can click the Collection linked above ("Slums" in bold white with 179 items) and scroll through looking at the assets to see. I do think these are very small buildings, like 1x4 and 2x4 size, not 4x4 size. The game prefers to spawn 4x4s and corner assets whenever possible, so if you just paint an area of zoning it may not spawn anything if this District Style is assigned and there are no 4x4 assets. Try zoning smaller, isolated strips, first, then fill in the gaps with prop assets (like yard spaces) or zone new building places after something grows in the first space you zoned. Hope that makes sense!

It's not clear from the description, does this change high-density areas at all? It doesn't seem to do anything to those on my end.

Just under the title (below the pictures it says District Style: City Slums) there is a gray line that says "IN 1 COLLECTION BY M4GIC" and below that in bold white it says "Slums"

Click "Slums" then on the next page click Subscribe to All and wait until it finishes, then launch the game.

Where can I find all the assets?

thanks for the reply, i somehow fixed it :steamhappy:
m4gic  [author] 4 Mar, 2024 @ 7:02am 
Screenshot? I suspect you are just seeing the lower level "vacant lots" that will level-up0 and change into buildings. But if there is truly frozen construction animation it is a glitch in your game and nothing to do with this Style.
Skinnyjesus 3 Mar, 2024 @ 12:35pm 
yes i installed all the assets
Skinnyjesus 3 Mar, 2024 @ 12:35pm

Bro this just makes my dreams come true. Forcing citizens into a slums

I think "Bad Side of Town" district style and collection would work better for a suburb; this is more for an inner-city slum
Nukatomic_3 2 Nov, 2023 @ 1:49pm 
would l1 residential work for an american suburb?
m4gic  [author] 3 Jun, 2023 @ 6:55am

oh i dident know i should
m4gic  [author] 2 Jun, 2023 @ 1:44pm 
Did you subscribe to all of the assets in the Collection (linked above) before you launched the game?
Iranian patriot 2 Jun, 2023 @ 1:35pm 
how does this mod work? for a test i went on a new map made a road district and set it to the style but no houses were built i tried default and houses started building why is this?
m4gic  [author] 29 May, 2023 @ 5:48pm

this looks like the UK

No. There’s no way to control where any asset grows unless you use district styles. For areas where you don’t want the slums I’m afraid you have to use another Style or your bulldozer.
K-dubble 1 May, 2023 @ 12:15am 
I just have a question. I've downloaded everything but the game wants to use your assets a lot of times when I want to do normal style buildings. It will pick this style 3x3 building over base game 3x3 and i don't want it to do that. It especially does it on corners where i have 4x4 zoned and it will take that 4x4 and zone two 2x2. You know of anyway to fix? I just want these buildings in the district I paitned

Also: 16,700+ current subscribers…
m4gic  [author] 6 Feb, 2023 @ 3:50pm 
Why wouldn’t it? It’s a collection of assets grouped into a district style.

Of course it works.
Thino Thog 6 Feb, 2023 @ 2:35am 
does this still work?
m4gic  [author] 1 Feb, 2023 @ 4:21pm 
Pookie: dog whistle? Every city has a slum, and it matters not who lives there or what they look like, or how many people of any certain "kind" live there relative to anywhere else. A slum is a slum is a slum, and they're everywhere.

candm06: sorry for delay in responding. Did you subscribe to all of the assets in the Collection, linked above? Without those assets nothing will happen in the District when you assign this Style.

Also, many assets are smaller than 4x4, so if you just paint a large area for residential then the game wants to exclusively spawn 4x4 sizes. Try experimenting with various, isolated sizes, such as 2x3, 2x4, 1x2, 1x4, etc. Leave spaces between assets and fiull those in when the spaces on either side develop into a building you want.

Lastly, the residential assets here are predominantly High Density, I believe. This is for a city slum. If you are trying to grow assets in a Low Density area that may be why nothing happens.

If you want to make a "crappy town" of low density buildings please see my Style and Collection: Bad Side of Town.

Finally, I can show class disparity and the consequences of red lining in my game!
slyx 12 Dec, 2022 @ 9:53pm 
less residental houses

The dotard magats can never help themselves, even here. It's almost as if Kentucky doesn't exist in their delusional mentally ill minds.

When I set it as my district style, Nothing happend. I still have the Vanilla Buildings
ImperatorTempus 21 Oct, 2022 @ 6:26pm 
Well this is definitely something. Hopefully based on Missouri and not Baltimore.
Mr. Milo 20 Oct, 2022 @ 7:03pm 
this entire mod is one massive dog whistle

@misteryx61 have you subscribed to all of the assets in the Collection that is linked above the description?
Dr.Martinez 24 May, 2022 @ 1:58pm

travii1976 13 Apr, 2022 @ 7:29am 
This district is a must have for all of my cities!

is it compatible with the latest version of CSkylines?
JJ-Blaze 13 Aug, 2021 @ 1:59am 
@IcyStormageddon runs fine for me, so i am confident it is not the District Style that is causing your issue.

Try running the game using the launch option --noWorkshop (include the two dashes) and see if your game boots up better/faster. That will tell you if it is the number of assets causing an issue.
Also try running the game with the launch parameter --disablemods and see if the problem is gone. (again be sure to have the two dashes before the command)

To use a launch option, right click on Cities Skylines in your Steam library, and choose 'Properties', and on that window you will see a blank to enter launch options.

*NOTE: When using these trouble shooting methods, always load into a test map or an old save that you don't care about, not your good-save of your current city, so that it doesn't break your good save. I alway make two saves when working on a project, just to be safe.

Not insulting you, man.
m4gic  [author] 9 Aug, 2021 @ 8:22am 
I mean your issue is not caused by my District Style.
Wing 9 Aug, 2021 @ 8:09am 
Also, got a city up, its gonna be a European Style City using your North American Big City on the west and the Default style for the east.
Wing 9 Aug, 2021 @ 8:08am 
Its not yours? I thought you made every good district style though.
m4gic  [author] 7 Aug, 2021 @ 3:35pm 
also - the game loads every single asset you have subscribed to, whether they are present in the city you are loading or not, so try unsubscribing to all assets and reloading the game vanilla - see if it loads then. If so, the problem is with an asset or mod.
