Yeah. Especially since EU tries to force people into switching to electric cars and those cars cost so fucking much!
Like some cities already forbid older vehicles to enter. Even here in Poland. Thankfully, those are big cities, so you can still commute there by public transport.
But if I wanted to go to Warsaw for example I would have to leave my car on the suburbs and switch to public transport cuz they wouldn't allow my old as car there.

Getting a new car is close to impossible for a lot of people. 99% of people I know have second-hand cars. A lot depends on the previous owner and whether he was caring for the car. My dad's car is 23y/o and it's in such great shape you'd never tell it's that old.

My car is quite modified and honestly I sometimes forget it has a loud pipe xD
Once I asked my mum confused about why people use to stare at me whenever I turn on the engine and she reminded me that this car can purr quite loudly hahahaha

Awww... My lovely car hahaha xd

Vintage cars are also quite expensive to keep them running properly. Parts in good condition are hard to come by. My dad watches a bunch of car renovation tv series and sometimes they renovate cars from the 80's or 90's and it requires a lot of technical skills to keep them fresh.
My car is from 2004 I believe so it turned 20 this year. It's in good condition as the previous owner customized it a lot. He wanted it to be better for racing I believe so it has a lot of custom parts and doesn't really look it's age. Still in a few years it will be just very old and probably not affordable to keep or sell. Cars market is cruel.

Thank you!

Thanks for the bday wishes! <3

That's why I'm thankful my dad has some knowledge about cars. Otherwise that probably would be my fate as well T^T

Oh, nothing fancy. It's an almost 20-year-old car. It's a Peugeot 206.
It will do for now. Maybe when I get more financially stable I'll start saving up for something better.

Thank you. It's a used car so there are things that need some work. Thankfully my dad is good at repairing cars so it helps me to save money on visiting mechanics.
Heard some like to play fools of women convincing them their car is more broken than it is just to earn more money.
It still consumes a lot of money tho - gas, tires, insurance etc.

Thats true! Saving money is hard tho hahaha

I haven't been able to play any games recently. Would love to buy a few that are already on my wishlist on Steam but lost a lot of money renovating my new (at least new for me) car... Also I plan to visit my friend in UK this year so probably should start saving up money ^^"

Future update? I hope it was a joke, cuz it was a good one xD
EA acts like this stuff pack never came out as it's one of their biggest shames.

It really helps with managing traffic jams in your city as more lanes don't always equal fewer traffic jams. Cities Skylines AI can be really dumb sometimes xD

Have you been playing any other games recently?

Hiiii! Thanks for the accept. nice to meet you ლ(⌒▽⌒ლ)

Hahah yup. I only wish you could do more with the rodents. Instead, they're stuck in their cages.
There is a rat, a hamster, and some weird fictional animal available if I remember correctly.

I really appreciate people who are able to do such realistic cities.
You really should start following Biffa on YT. They make some amazing Cities i Cities Skylines and give useful tips on lane mathematics etc.
I'm currently learning how to properly use bus lanes in the game.

It's good to control your demand in the demand menu. Sometimes it's better to adjust your budget (higher or lower) instead of just buying more objects to satisfy your citizens. At least until you can afford to buy more stuff. Another good tip I got from YT is to always pause the time while you build roads etc. Roads cost money to maintain, but if you pause the time the fee will be counted from the moment you unpause the game. In result you save money.

The only interesting thing about this pack are actually the rodents. They do some crazy shit in their cages. My rat called Cheeser made an atomic bomb and found the cure for cancer. I'm not joking XD
Btw. "Romantic garden stuff pack" is also for free rn! It adds some nice garden decorations and the wishing well.
Nothing to make you say "wow, how cool" but free stuff is free stuff!

Oh, don't get me wrong. My cities are far from realistic hahaha
I'm no civil engineer but I'm trying my best. I also like to spend a lot of time placing decorative objects to make the cities more alive.
Two most important pieces of advice on playing a new map are:
- Don't rush things! Let the demand rise and slowly grow your city. If you try to spend too much money in the very beginning you will quickly lose it. Basically:start it small
- Control your power and water demand. If you produce too much water/power it will quickly eat your money. You need to adjust the budget according to your demand. If the demand gets bigger, don't buy another plant. Instead, raise the budget. It's cheaper to raise the budget than to maintain more plats!

Damn, so if the game goes on a -30% sale it basically goes back to it's original price?

Happy birthday!

Happy birthday! :D
