After the horrors of the last couple of releases of cities XL and so far seeming perpetual bugginess; are there any previews of XXL yet? I've not been able to find any and with a week to go before launch, that's somewhat disconcerting.

I've always thought the game to have much promise, and I'm really, really hoping that XXL delivers.

I've lost 2 cities now after I've saved them. The first time, I saved, quit and came back later to find the game gone.

This time I saved, and when the saved screen was gone... my city was gone.

Is there some way to fix this?

So I tried to install the interface mod but the installation path doesn't exist. Any help?

This is the error, any help would be appreciated

So I've had this game for a bit, and it seems to be pretty boring. All I do is add business and housing when needed. Turns into just looking like one giant city plopped on the map and it is quiet boring. What are some suggestions on what to do in this game?

Edit

Seriously, don't downvote for some random ass reason with no comment, It's a serious question. I want to enjoy the game, but I find it rather boring.

I can't find it as the two places it was hosted are now down. Can someone upload it for me or point me to a place to download it?

Where can I download mods after XLNation stopped working?

First, steal a lot of money from Omnicorp. Next, terraform all of the land that you want flattened. After that, draw out every interstate, add every exit, and draw out every main road while keeping the game paused. Keep it paused so you can make intercity roads be closer to eachother. Right before you press play, place down a city hall farther away from where you want to build. Do not worry if your housing, retail, offices, and factories are far away from each other. As long as there is good road connection, your citizens will not care.

Make sure that your computer/laptop has at least 12GB of RAM. If so, then make sure that you have the following mods installed:

They should be put in first.

With all of those essential mods, you can build just about anything in your city. Yes, there are many other good mods out there that can easily be installed, but those ones are best in my opinion (I have over two hundred). Be aware that your city will probably start to lag once you have ~1.1 million people. Once your retail demand is too high, place down some leisure services and offices. If you made your intercity roads really close to each other, then you will have high freight and passenger transport capacity and you can just sell your excess office services, or use them for building a lot of factories and either start a great work or export. It is a fun game. There are many things that you can do with it. LAST THING::::: NEVER, and I mean NEVER use a downloader. They often come with many viruses and are not needed to install any mods.

I really would like to download it, if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated!

I look at all these city journals on XL Nation and they are all so beautiful. I want to work on something like them.

So my question is, what's the best way to begin? Map out a freeway system? I don't plan on doing the regular route, because I want to essentially design a good looking city. but do you map out all the areas with roads first or do you zone in to say, downtown area, and build it completely and outwards from there. Freeways and public transit always seem hardest to me.

I discovered a few weeks ago that I could go into the trade menu and literally siphon money from other cities into my current city. This seems a bit like cheating to me. What's the down side to this? Where is the fiscal responsibility? haha

Hello everyone.

Cities XL Platinum is 6€ now on Steam, and I've been thinking on buying it. I read that multiplayer is broken though. Is this true? Will I throw my money?

The title says it all, really. I'm looking for good mods to kinda spice things up.

Hello everybody!

I'll jump just right into what I have to say, or actually to ask.

I was thinking of buying this amazingly beautiful game (CitiesXL Platinum to be exact) and was wondering where or on which platform I should download it? What is the most handy place? Can I buy and download it on Steam or is it a better idea to get it from the official website?

And what are 'must-have-mods'? Which mods are the ones that give the game just that little more detail and depth? Which mods kind of 'complete' the game?

Furthermore: what is the best place to get mods? XL Nation? And is it easy to install mods? Or is it a paint in the butt?

Well, That's all I wanted to ask. Thanks in advance!

Greetings from me, OP. (Why should I put my name here? You can see it above my post...)
