Share your difficulty settings
I am trial-and-error working myself a lot through the settings of this mod. The mod definetly increases the value of CS for me as it makes it more interesting, however, I have not yet found a really good setting as I always after some time have the necessity to reduce the difficulty to have even the slightest chance to survive.

Currently I play with the following settings. All non-mentioned sliders are maxed
400% build price
200% maintenance
0% reward

Higher costs and maintenance made it impossible for me to let the population grow as with maxed out bars you simply need a lot of land value and hapiness, which you can't afford :D

Edit: Stopped with above settings again and am going to restart with normal now. It feels like it is really difficult to find the sweet spot to balance the difference sliders against each other.

I love the challenge this mod offers too. I play exclusively with the "impossible" settings. It is possible to do but I've had to develop specific strategies to do so. It takes me a looooong time to get a city up to populations of 25,000 let alone 75,000 or more. I am on my 3rd city now using this mod. It has a population of 25,000. The other two developed bugs that I never could figure out after the mishaps of a couple CS updates within the past year or so. Could be I just got bored(Once I've gotten a city to a population of 75,000 finance is pretty easy, really even at 25,000); that the effort to figure the remedies outweighed the appeal of just starting a new city with my newly developed strategic skills (Can I build the city faster ... more efficient?). As of late I have introduced a cheat for asthetic city building purposes that (unfortunately) makes it a lot easier to increase land value. I've increased the effect radius of Fire, police and health facilities through a mod "Service Radius Adjuster": https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=785237088.
CS update v1.6.0 killed my play just a few hours of play after that cheat. To add some balance to that I now play "Impossible" setting yet also max out the cost to 1000% and set maintenance to 280% of those facilities. I just got my city to load today for the first time since CS v1.6.0. Within just a minute of play land values are skyrocketing ... I don't know why?
