Looking for Input on the City and how to share the save file

[JasTiger]

I've been a huge fan of the game for a long time but i just never seem to get the hang of making my cities look as great and functional as the other folks I see online. The city "works" as in people can move about and I can run a surplus, but I can't figure out what to do to make it look more natural. Instead, my blocks tend to be self contained things that don't flow from one end to the other, especially when incorporating services and roads. I wanted to post up my city here and maybe have someone who has some free time (or likes a challenge) to poke around at the save file and see what tweaks can be done to make it a lot more palatable. Is there a way to upload the save file here or do I need to link it elsewhere and then post that link here?

In your Steam Library, right-click the game. Select Properties, then Installed Files on the left side. That will show you where your saved games are. Go there and find TWO FILES with the city name you want to share. Copy both to an email or a file sharing site. BOTH FILES.
There is a quick and easy way to share saved games in the original, the Content Manager, but Paradox/CO has not turned that on in C:S2 yet. Why, I have no f'ing idea, except to piss off players I suppose.

I can't just post them here or link them here to share with folks? I have to go to like google drive or some such?

Yes. Call it a bug.

Paradox does not want Steam involved with Cities: Skylines2.
I've just been told that the Content Manager in C:S2 will not connect to the Steam Workshop ever, only the Paradox sites. This guy's been 100% right so far on everything he's told me, so I believe him.
So we are not going to be able to share saved games on Steam either.
So, no Steam Workshop and no Steam sharing of maps or saved games.

Well dang. I mean i notice they have their own launcher and I'm not 100% mad about that. I just want someone to look at my city and give me some ideas and share things through the community. If i have to do it on steam, great. If its on their platform, great. I just want to be able to do it.

Also I can't seem to find my save games anywhere which is weird.

Saved game files are in the location below:
%localappdata%low\colossal order\cities skylines II\Saves

I've placed saved city files from my friends into that location on my computer and successfully loaded it up and vice versa.
