What got me to uninstall C:S
Lack of information.
So i played C:S a while ago, was fun and all, then got a new laptop with more power and decided to play it again and this time, delve into the asset editor to mess around with it.
But the sheer lack of information regarding this editor.
Namely the Asset Properties, just got me so angry that i have now deleted the game from my computer and decided not to return to this game.

But then again, i remember back when i played the game that it it still felt like only half the experience. As if the game was missing a huge portion elsewhere within the game that wasen't visible or accessible to me.
I don't know what ti is, but it felt super lackluster and got more bored fast.

The only reason i got the game was rather simple;
Watched a YouTuber who made the game look super interesting.
Got the game, played it some time, and just felt like a masive portion was missing.
Like something had been taken from the game without my knowledge, and i could not figure it out.

Oh well, maybe just my experience with the game, but i find no joy in this game.
I migh have gotten a little more joy out of it if there was more information.
But that was not so.
So this will just go and collect virtual dust...

No one cares if you can't refund it. Basically you have already gave them your money.

Thank you, your sarcasm is highly appreciated.
What exacly made you angry at the asset editor?
I have used it a bit and it didnt seem to be very complicating, espesaly with good guides and youtube vids that are around.

And i do agree that the game is somewhat lackluster, all you basicly do is add more roads and zoning, the fun from it comes from trying to build an beutifull city you are happy with.
I personaly have a great time with it because i just want to build an beutifull city. But i can definilty understand why someone would find it lackluster.

The asset editor is pretty bad tbh but at least it's there. Mods that require you to use it are awful but I tend to avoid those anyway.

I feel you on the game lacking something, it's what causes me stop playing it most of the time.
The graphics are meh, they do their job but vanilla C:S looks gross overall.

The mechanics are numerous but none of them are fleshed out, new DLC always introduces more half-baked distractions and there's never any polish to them.

The gameplay gets monotonous pretty fast if you know what you're doing and there's never anything all that personal that happens with your city, unless you spend hundreds of hours mastering the god-awful asset editor and use a custom map with thousands of modded props, your city is going to look a lot like everyone else's.

I like the game but it's not perfect in any way and I've opted to use Cream API instead of buying the rest of the DLC until the developers actually start polishing the game.
