I think it’d be cool to design a virtual city with easy bike/pedestrian access to nearby shops, schools and other amenities while minimizing car dependency (as therefore the pollution, noise, parking issues and noise that come with it).

Do you know any good city builder games for this?

    Thanks for sharing! I’ve seen some bike path implementations that require the After Dark DLC, but it looks like Road Builder doesn’t. Nice.

      Also something pretty much mandatory imo: network extensions 2. This mod adds a ton of new roads including some pedestrian zonable streets. Also highly recommended: realistic population. With this mod the tallest buildings will have space of up to 100 households or so which makes it easier to build cities without car dependency.

      And finally, something that always bothered me a bit is that in the beginning of the game, all new cims arrive by car, which makes my city car-dependant from the beginning. Well the island of Saint Martin has absolutely zero infrastructure, so you can have all your cims arriving by ferry or plane. Note that the airport and dock isn’t unlocked until much later in the game, meaning you need to play with the “all milestones unlocked” mod in this map.
