Campus is here! The new expansion is the eighth major DLC for Cities: Skylines, and gives us a major overhaul of higher education. It leans on the mechanics in Parklife and Industries to let us make education a more significant and functional part of our cities. It’s a big improvement on the previously passive system…

Any ‘best DLC’ list is always going to be subjective. I’ve tried to think about which packs are the most impactful and whose additions are useful in pretty much every city. That said, your priorities will change the order: if you’re a tram aficionado then Snowfall might jump up your list. If building clean, green,…

Cities: Skylines Industries launched a week ago, marking the seventh major DLC added to the game. As you’ll know if you’ve read my articles about the Supply chain and cargo trains, I already enjoy the way the game handles industry, but I always felt there was scope for more depth and control. It looks like I…

Parklife, Cities: Skylines’ sixth expansion, launched to much acclaim in summer of 2018. It freshened up the formula, added systems we hadn’t seen before and gave us expansive parks that can define, or redefine, whole parts of the city. The free patch Patch 1.10, which released alongside Parklife, was a hefty bug-fixing update. It addressed…

It feels like it’s been hardly any time since Parklife – one of Cities: Skylines’ best DLC – was released to much fanfare in the summer, and Colossal Order have just announced that the game’s seventh expansion is just around the corner. Industries will launch alongside a free patch and a new radio station playing…

Green Cities makes it easier to build cities people want to live in. As the fifth expansion, it launched in Autumn 2017 alongside the customary free patch. It also released alongside the Concerts and European Suburbia paid DLCs. I think Green Cities can be summed up as a DLC that’s about fixing your city’s problems.…

Mass Transit is the fourth expansion for Cities: Skylines and is often the one people recommend getting first. It’s pretty easy to see why. It’s one of the meatier expansions and launched with a major free update that overhauled traffic management including giving granular control over intersections and transit lines. Four new transport types and…

  Snowfall was the second expansion for Cities: Skylines. It released in early 2016 and brought winter, new maps, new buildings and trams to the game. At the same time, Colossal Order released some important free updates to the game, which was added whether or not you buy Snowfall. I talk about the free stuff…

After Dark was the first expansion for Cities: Skylines, and dropped in late 2015. So why write about it now? Well, I’m building what I hope will be a really useful resource for C:S, especially for people who, like me, are getting into the game late. I think it’s especially useful to look at expansions…
