Is there a way to manually add buildings to a city?

[MisterVideosoEx]

Is there a mod that allows you to force the AI to build somewhere?

I am building a city, and I made a bit of road for the AI to build residential buildings on, but the AI refuses to build any buildings on it. It isn't the road, because residential buildings are on the road, but after a small bridge over the railway station, no building was ever built.

basically the opposite of this mod: https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2023358803


Edit: I don’t want assets. I want actual AI built buildings, and they won’t build after 10 years. It is the northernmost part of the city. Any help?

I know of a way: Patience. The AI will "fill in the blanks" in time, but it may help to delete/rebuild the road.

This is not a city builder, ie City Skylines. "You" don't build towns/buildings, the game does. You can "encourage" the AI to build by placing streets, but even a mod can't "force" the AI to do anything.

I'm sure there's "asset buildings" mods that let you plop your own buildings down, but they're "fake" buildings that don't do anything or act like the "real" buildings in the game.

you could just place a new city down on top of where you're wanting to build, configured with no commercial and no industrial?

There are plenty of mods that allow you to place all three types of buildings [from all three eras] with options for collision on/off and they will also generate sims for you too if you want to. Some mods allow you to set the level of sims that spawn [like a visitor magnet]. You can use the 'Buy the plot' mod too and build on top using these. Transportfever.net have a few mods like this too. AV is a modder that does this among others.

Gotta love how most of the other commenters are useless as always
