Funny. Posts about how to do something fun or useful in the game get ZERO interest, but post anything negative and it's joined by nearly everyone.
A post about how to make your own custom working parking lots, a bigly popular thing in the game, and one person cares about it. In less than 24 hours it was pushed to page three by entirely angry complaint threads.
Almost no one actually playing this game comes in here, we're almost all only here to complain about it.

That videos what unlocked getting back into the game for me. Dev mode allows much of what was missing

That actually looks really cool, but absolutely should’ve been part of the base game without mods. Custom functional parks should’ve been too. Both are critical to a realistic look as shown in the video, and to fill gaps that the grid-based zoning system produces. Why is it up to modders and developer modes to achieve this?

With mods and custom assets (and of course maps) this game does have the potential to look good. I‘ll revisit it when all of that and the promised free region packs are delivered. Easy sharing of cities has to be a thing too. I absolutely won’t go near it before all of that and performance improvements are delivered.

Even then, I think the game needs more policy choices and other options to make it more interesting. Oh and finish those missing animations like the fire brigade, etc.

I built a custom underground parking lot after watching this video.

I wonder why that is, or if there are certain posters who might be partly responsible for creating this predicament..

The parking lots look great tho!

I've put them all over my city! I'm looking at making working parks as well!

That's crazy. Congrats.

I don't know.... maybe this forum was made for discussing things? You know... guides exist

I saw that video and was so glad, because the parking lots are huge, even the smaller one is kind of big. So when I saw this, I was overjoyed! I am currently learning to create these!

Custom Parking is one of the " hidden" gems of the game. it allows you to create overground, and together with invisible roads and parking (another hidden gem), underground parking lots.

It shouldn’t be hidden or difficult, though. For years people were requesting better ways to fill the “empty triangles” and other gaps between the zoning squares. This is where the “painter” in city painter” was supposed to come in.

I really hated how you had to leave the game to create custom park assets in a not-too-friendly editor in CS1–so I never used it. It looks like with developer tools that is no longer required, which is a plus. But as I said earlier this absolutely should’ve been a priority for the game without hidden developer menus that they may or may not take away at some point.

I’m guessing they decided against hiding the developer menu due to the absence of mods. and now can’t because it’s letting people do the things they want to do that they didn’t get around to, didn’t want to, or couldn’t be bothered implementing in the main game’s UI.

Most software companies go on the philosophy that the user is a total moron and everything needs to be nerfed and simplified with rounded corners. "vanilla" is deliberately designed for simpletons, no matter what game.

It has always been necessary to used mods and developer tools to get to the REAL game, no matter what game.
