I'm Not Creative Enough For This Game

[Sween]

So this is something I've struggled with: Planet Coaster is a beautiful game, I enjoy playing it, but I feel I'm not creative enough to use it's full potential, if that makes sense. To preface, I'm in my mid 30's, grew up playing (and still do) all the RCT games.

I have downloaded plenty of items from the workshop to bridge that gap and basically rely on the creativity of others.

I'm just wondering if anyone else struggles with that same thought.

Thanks for your thoughts!

I do build, but I love browsing the workshop too - there's so much lovely stuff there and people shared it to see it used and to be honest even picking out the right decor from the workshop is some work. I feel like it's honouring those creative hours folk put into their lovely creations for us to use them as much as I can. So thank you all, creative souls because sometimes after work I just lack the energy to make that pirate ride look as good as you did.

That's a good way to put it!

Same. Some people have far more time. I'm learning by copying to be honest. Found some of the best rides and tying to copy and paste them into one park. Disneyland. So much to learn.

Nothing wrong with that.

Visit the great art museums in Europe. You'll often find rows of students working hard copying the great masters. They're learning by copying.

Download my coaster from the workshop " the kernal" and go from there 😀

You know what i was the same when i started. All i mainly did for a while was place down other peoples workshops stuff when i made my own stuff i really felt ashamed more so when it was near someone else workshop and i was like man i wish i had more creative know how to do something like that or close.


A year later i started to try learn how to do such. The only thing that helped me was just taking a look at other peoples workshops and breaking it down to see how it truly was made and watching quite fair amount of youtube / livestreams on the game to really start. Have in mind this was in a time even before TMTK items came around so most people were making large part builds to achieve their looks seeing how we lacked some objects we wanted most of it was a lot of art shape objects most used.

In the end am much more better tho i still yet to feel like am at that stage making really wonderful looking builds but am far better from 2016 thats for sure and i still have some ghost reminders of my old days in old park saves i still have of that time i used other peoples workshops to build up my boring looking flat like parks.

I have found out that in my building a super park like all those designers that post to the workshop, they are in the Sandbox. It takes many hours to do. If you are playing the game to make a simple park but in Career or Challenge modes keep it simple. It will still take time but your play will be satisfying. Have a sandbox to make your own drinks, food, and gift shops. make them very simple but save them as a blue print, Want to have kool looking buildings? Then use the blueprints of others till you get the hang of it.
