Creating an ugly or polluting city.

[The Hat]

Is it possible to create a run down city or a dystopian type polluting city in this game?

Where crime is high and pollution is rife?

I usually play a game or two in most city builders, where I aim for the ugliest industrial city I can build, and try to find mods that support it as well. This is in addition to the usual most beautiful city I can build.

I was wondering if this game caters to that, I haven't seen any mods for those types of buildings yet, ruins, or pollution, or run down buildings etc.

Thanks for any help.

@Tyrepony, and can you maintain a city that way without a game over state? At least for a while? That was always part of the challenge I enjoyed.

Does the map look fairly scumy as a result? Like a heavy industrial city, looking smoggy, or fairly run down?

@Rogue - Why Not? I have no idea why not, or why for that matter, I haven't even got the game yet. I am not sure what your question means.

You can maintain a city without police, yes but crime will have a impact on your economy. As far as I know as long as you can pump enough oil for money you should be just fine.

I support this. I would also love to build ugly cities - it doesn't has to be dystopian, but at least have some slums, bad neighborhoods, decaying buildings, trailer parks, giant old appartmentblocks (soviet style), rusty industrial buildings, run down streets, dirt and corrosion. I also would like to have more old buldings in general - like you got in Sim City 4 (New York and Chicago Style).
All the buildings in CS look so clean and modern...

Just play normal until you unlock the high density zones...bulldoze and rezone the nice suburbs and replace with hd residential for the high rises. Keep industrial zones either default or oil. No services (schools/police/fire/medical). Make only square blocks like in SimCity for the urban planned look. Should not be too hard.
