Any dlc I shouldn't skip?

[zemzero]

Are there any dlc that would be considered core requirement for the base game? Looking to pick some up during this sale.

I think Mass Transit should be in a base game. Public transport is a key to achieve livable city.

None of the DLCs are really required. The only one that I think should have been part of the base game is After Dark.

Here is a previous discussion that provides some more details about this:

The base game comes with the main types of transport - bus, metro, train, ship, air. The Mass Transit DLC adds monorail, ferry, cable car and blimp, none of which are essential.

In answer to the OP, there are no essential DLC.

If you don't already see a need for DLC, then you likely don't need any at all. They are mostly cosmetic additions and offer no new mechanics. They are just mixed existing mechanics in buildings with converted zoning buildings to ploppable.

No DlC is essential but if you think you want to add one, have a look at this.

I would suggest looking at Industries. Really adds some layers in the form of production/logistics management.

[Terminal Pillness]

Industris

Another vote for industries. It really fleshes out a part of the game that needed it.

I like college campuses dlc too. Not essential but fun.

I bought Mass Transit this very morning for just over £3.... happy days!!

I'd highly recommend this video by CityPlannerPlays, he does a good job explaining all of the DLC's in detail, good and bad | https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Sf_5PrXlWWo&t=645s

Look up yourself and see which features would you want to add to your base game.

Personally, my favorites are Mass Transit and Snowstorm.
