What is a Creator Pack?
See subject.

Some of these packs have attracted my interests but I have a sneaking suspicion they are not the kind of DLC where the assets will get used by the game in the organic growth of a city without them being placed there manually by the player or used in a mod.

But I may be wrong about that.

So how exactly does a creator pack impact game play?

A content creator pack is at the core a pack where the buildings (and sometimes props) are made by a creator from the community and not the devs.

They work a little differently depending on the packs.

Art Deco is a combination of growables and unique buildings. The growables will appear in zoned areas (residential if I remember correctly), while the unique buildings need to be placed by hand.

High Tech is service buildings and unique buildings, so all of these have to be placed by you.

European Suburbia is just low density residential growables. These will appear randomly in the correct zones or you can use the style that comes with the DLC to set certain neighbourhoods to only have these.

University City is a mix of residential and commercial growables (and maybe some offices?). These grow randomly around your city. This pack doesn't contain a style since not all lot sizes and levels are covered. But you can use the Building Themes mod to control where they appear if you'd like.

Modern City Center is high density commercial growables, so again no need to place these yourself if you don't want to. And it also comes with a style you can assign to districts, if you don't want them to just randomly grow in your city.

Depends on the pack, they're basically mini-expansion where the devs got a modder they thought was particularly good to do most of the work of make the content (new content, not just pay-walling existing mods), presumably in exchange for a cut of the sales.

The quality and gameplay effect are a bit variable from pack to pack.

I'm quite happy with the city centre one (or whatever it's called), but all it adds is a theme (that actually Works Right, unlike far too many created as mods for one reason or another) consisting of a very cool set of dense commercial buildings, so you can make part of your city look like a proper 'down town' area. (that said, you won't see all of them if you make every block four squares deep, some of them are only two or three deep, but the game prefers to fill in the area when it can, so you won't see them if you don't ensure there are smaller areas for them to go in.)

On the other hand, one of the earlier ones was, from memory a set of bland, grey-brown factory type buildings, predating industries by a LOT. they were all huge, expensive, pretty ugly in my opinion and their entire effect was to attract tourists. I'm fairly sure this was quite a while before the tourism system actually got fixed too. So I wasn't too impressed with that one at all.

Owning almost all (I think I skipped the one that ended up having licensing issues or something, and some radio DLC) the expansions up to this point (and being completely unwilling install the latest update with it's highly questionable launcher addition), it's a bit hard to remember how much of what was from which DLC (and/or the corresponding free updates), but I'm almost sure I bought one or two others (I honestly don't remember how many Exist) and they were neither impressive nor terrible enough that I particularly remember the packs as a whole (or even any particular thing from them) beyond that.

So... they don't add any New mechanics, at least?

Edit: I seem to spend WAY too long typing up my posts these days.

I think King Leno's University City creator pack is well worth it. Love the buildings. These can easily be used as district themes by using Building Themes per District by boformer plus Building Themes: University City by MrMyagi. I'm not happy with Modern City Center - the buildings need to be placed individually IMO so should come as RICO ready.

RICO being a mod and Modern City Centre being an official DLC, it's not at all surprising that they don't.
It would be nice if they were somehow more prone to spawning in appropriate combinations though.

Interesting. Good Information.

I was primarily interested in Modern City Center and High Tech.

Sad to say I have mixed feelings about both now. Which is OKAY as that will save me a few dollars, probably.

If you change your mind, be aware they are on sale at the moment (50% off), if you buy directly from Paradox.

How would one install a DLC purchased straight from Paradox into a STEAM game?
