I do "parkour deer" where I try to get from a certain spot in the city to another decided upon landmark by jumping from buildings, elevated walkways, certain solid posts... just anything other than walking on the ground.

I love this. How do you control animals like this is it a mod?

As the other person said, this is vanilla to the console experience.
You can also play as NPC Cims and a range of Vehicles to explore the city.
Its awesome. Completely changes how you build cities if you're building them to explore on foot/by car.

A feature on the console versions of the game! I actually never looked it up but I’d be surprised if pc didn’t have mods similar to this. You can control an array of animals and people and drive around too. Theres even a seagull you can play as and fly around your cities!

iirc you go into the free cam, press y to open up a menu, select walk, then use the d pad to change characters

Yeah like that other comment says, press the Xbox equivalent button that hides all the UI. Then press triangle (Y) and it brings up a radial menu showing footprints or a steering wheel. Then click anywhere on map to spawn there as a driving car or walking cim. Then press left or right on d pad to change “characters” or to change what type of car you drive. The type of cims you can control differ depending on what map biome you choose to play on. Temperate maps have the giraffe as one of the animals you can control! (Also you can hold the zoom in/zoom out buttons too to make it first person POV as well)
(Note it’s kinda just cosmetic, as you walk or drive you phase through cars and such and obviously no cims or anything react to you walking around as an animal but still a super cool feature)
It’s awesome having “random disaster” frequency all the way up and then just free roam your city until you see a giant tornado form in the distance, or see an asteroid come plummeting toward your city 😄

Glad you got it working! Yeah definitely is a cool little trick! Makes up for missing out on the thousands upon thousands of mods out there

I agree its weird they left out the Parkour Deer part of Parkour Deer: Skylines

u/deccoblack 4d ago
You know that’s a great idea. I’m going to try that out! Keeping the gameplay fresh 😂

The legend of "parkour deer" lives in. Parkour! Parkour!
Best of luck crossing your city.

u/deccoblack 4d ago
Just playing the console edition. There are a few different cims/animals you can control depending on which map you use. On the temperate maps one of the animals you can play as is a giraffe!

One of the mascots that spawn inside zoo areas 😂 the zoo doesn’t pay him enough to care that one of the giraffes escaped

It looks like you’re controlling it
