probably the best traffic scenario on the workshop

Epic! You got any screenshots?
Truffletoot 21 Jun, 2024 @ 2:58pm 
Small update, ive made it 140,000 people and added 3 extra highways.
Teddy Radko  [author] 12 Sep, 2023 @ 12:22am 
😳😳😳 well thats one way to dolve it i suppose
Truffletoot 11 Sep, 2023 @ 7:00pm 
I've grown the city to 60,000 people and turned that tiny highway into a wide, busy american freeway.

@ChristianChamp sorry late reply, i know the problem,you need to enable international/vanilla style in content manager. That will enable the missing buildings
Teddy Radko  [author] 7 Jul, 2023 @ 9:25am 
Thanks alot @jameshg ☺ idlove to but im not sure there will be more,i hoöe cs2 has scenarios also
jameshg 7 Jul, 2023 @ 3:54am 
Teddy, this is the best scenario on the Workshop and I hope you're able to make more.
ChristianChamp 21 Jun, 2023 @ 4:45pm 
yo i got the dlc but when i load the game some of the commercial buildings from the pack are missing? ploppables still there tho
Wolfe1924 14 Jun, 2023 @ 11:39am 
this was fun i just realized you made this one also. i did complete this as well haha.
Teddy Radko  [author] 14 Jun, 2023 @ 3:48am 
Thanks ruckus! Ill check it out
ruckus 14 Jun, 2023 @ 12:55am 
Im glad youre putting effort into the scenarios, like you say its an underrated gamemode and i just love it so much but wish there were more higher quality scenarios like this one. theres one scenario "Road to the Asian Games" i would love to see your take on a concept similar :)
Teddy Radko  [author] 1 Jun, 2023 @ 5:16am 
as stealthy says, its to keep it looking less lvl5 villa-isch. Next scenario will not have historical turned on tho so it is something ive thought about alot.
Stealthy 1 Jun, 2023 @ 4:39am 
Historical buildings are to prevent them from updating themselves to highest level models. This way you can use level one appearance on higher level building. That's why so many historic buildings. And removing them one by one is a game feature, nothing to do with this scenario.
Araminta 1 Jun, 2023 @ 4:37am 
I like this scenario. BUT: Having to demolish all the "historical buildings" one by one sucks. What is it good for? It's just wasted time.:steamfacepalm:

This was my favourite scenario i have done! Challenging but achievable, and the city itself was so nicely made and realistic. Beautiful map and city. Got it done in 120 weeks, and without upgrading the highway in the middle of the city, but turning it into a 4 lane tram road instead.

Thanks so much!!

Very nice map, thanks for making it a scenario. (However, I didn’t get the traffic >82%)

Fantastic work, such artistic design (compared to the horrible stuff I make)
Teddy Radko  [author] 24 Apr, 2023 @ 8:33am 
danke sjön

Unglaublich geile Karte. Schon lange nicht mehr soviel Spaß gehabt. Bravo !
Inbasis 15 Apr, 2023 @ 1:25pm 
Great map! I am having fun with it and will try this scenario. Also, wall to wall buldings seems to fit an African themed build exellently!

I'm so exited about this scenario, I saw Biffa playing this and jumped right on and bought the content creator pack. thank you for making this.
I noticed one thing, I started this yesterday and a lot was missing (but didn't really knew it at the time), and this was also the case for Biffa, and apparently others according to comments here. I was dealing with really low land value and abandonment. But then I remember reading in the description "enable the "Vanilla" style in the content manager"! and that changes everything. Now there are medical clinics, fire station etc scattered all over.
yeah but, awesome city/scenario :) looking forward trying to fix it and building it.
PixelBimbo 10 Apr, 2023 @ 3:57pm 
I just bought the DLC just to play this scenario. No regrets, this is so awesome!
Teddy Radko  [author] 9 Apr, 2023 @ 3:03am 
Thanks guys, the ideas for next one are forming rn in my head. its 10 times more ambitioius tho but if itll work its gonna be truly epic!
Sting SBN 8 Apr, 2023 @ 12:08am 
This is the best scenario I've ever played 11/10
cstoneburner 7 Apr, 2023 @ 3:22pm 
Thanks for a wonderful scenario! Others I've tried I've found more annoying than fun, this one, on the other hand, was just the right level of challenge for someone who has been playing other things for a year and who usually plays very heavily modded.

I hope you do more.

@GumNut Same :) Had some problems with Cities not starting but now is the time
Stealthy 6 Apr, 2023 @ 8:51am 
Great scenario. Fun and frustrating at the same time. Finished with 89% traffic and 50k ppl so got that trophy. But man did I hate those roads that couldn't be touched without anarchy lol.

Nice work!
GumNut 4 Apr, 2023 @ 8:43am 
Bought this CCP just to play this scenario after seeing it on Biffas channel.
bobfahren 4 Apr, 2023 @ 2:07am 
I think, that's the main thing about this scenario. Beat it, that's good. Beat it with clean water, that's perfect.

Plus, then you have a nice not everyday city to play ahead from. That's an incentive not many scenarios have.
Teddy Radko  [author] 4 Apr, 2023 @ 1:03am 
@bobfahren thats nice, i mean terrible, maybe gives an incentive to clean up the mangrove forest?
bobfahren 4 Apr, 2023 @ 12:31am 
I'm pretty sure the polluted water is the land value issue. I have no evidence thou.
Teddy Radko  [author] 2 Apr, 2023 @ 12:22pm 
@merrcat good call. i always assumed scenarios wouldnt be so restrictive about playing sandbox on them. anyway, here you go https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2956705116 have fun!
Merrcat 2 Apr, 2023 @ 10:40am 
Is it possible you can make a save-game version of this city without it being a scenario, I really love the city and want to play with it with mods. However, I can't because some mods never work in scenario for some reason so really if you could it would be helpful!
Teddy Radko  [author] 2 Apr, 2023 @ 12:53am 
:) Glad you liked it @luki.n it is a pretty difficult scenario but hopefully that and the "realistic" pre-existing city will make it more fun and engaging to play!
luki.n 1 Apr, 2023 @ 11:12pm 
This scenario is just awesome!
The city is beautifully crafted and I am amazed by the organic sprawl of this town.
I really enjoy playing this scenario and so far I’ve still got to finish the population goal.
Thank you so much!

Love the audio in the video!
Teddy Radko  [author] 29 Mar, 2023 @ 3:46am 
The scenario has its drawbacks and I feel like you hit the nail right on them but it also gives you a pre-existing, relatively functional and profitable city so you can use your imagination and really go about solving the challenges in many ways. It's not a very easy scenario, nor did I intend it to be but these things are seldom easy in real life either.

Thanks again for the feedback, I really, really appreciate it!

4/4

I basically made this scenario before finishing the map. The map upload has better highways and roundabouts and many other small fixes. It would be possible to use moveit to import those roads and networks into the scenario but I was concerned that would actually "fix the traffic" too well. I do kinda think the existing networks being hard to upgrade and connect is sort of a less satisfying yet reasonable challenge of the scenario. I could see the player going "Screw this piece of shit road, im deleting it and repaving from scratch". When I playtested without mods I used this method to delete the most troubled roundabouts and replaced them with grade separated diamond interchanges and some of the most disgusting parclos you could imagine (there are and wont be any screenshots from that horrible session). This together with a three line metro system was basically enough for me to get flow up to 85%.

I toggled historical buildings so that not everything upgrades to highest level visually because I just can't stand that look tbh. I get that it becomes a bit more tedious to play without mods but it is a bit more realistic as you are now faced with the prompt before deleting houses and ruining some poor cims life :smokeybear:. Its mainly for aestetics tho and I get why it's annoying.

2/4
Teddy Radko  [author] 29 Mar, 2023 @ 3:46am 
@Han Holo You are so right it's kinda scary. Are you my subcontious? :KOh:

I also noticed weird land value and abandonment issues. I'm not sure what causes it because I just let the zones grow in and upgrade naturally but they seem to over-level up anyway like complete idiots. Making everything historical only locks the appearence and they can still upgrade so this shouldnt be the reason. I did find that playing for a bit longer usually balances things out tho. I also have a feeling that the polluted water in the swamp could affect land value. I wanted for the scenario to have side objective like "de-polute the swamp" anyway. Im not sure how this would work tho and it's heavy speculation on my part.

Very nice map and scenario. Started it yesterday, been having lot of fun with it, loving the organic/realistic layouts of the cities and villages.

But, three things are worth mentioning that could be a bit annoying to others as well (especially when playing fully vanilla),
1. (minor gripe) After running the game for a bit, a lot of abandoned houses appear as the land value is too low for them which leads to the next thing.
2. (minor gripe) As all the buildings are historic (quite clever to keep the city looking the same'ish) it leads to excessive amount of manual deleting especially when expanding roads and dealing with the abandonment.
3. (medium gripe, might be just me tho) Highway/roundabout expansion is quite troublesome without mods (move it, anarchy), as the roads are quite close there's no room for upgrading without completely rebuilding them.

Nevertheless, will continue to try and win the scenario, and trying again with mods to make it a bit easier :)

This scenario would legit make me buy the CCP. The preview vid looks amazing!
