Cities: Skylines is like this generation's version of model trains. These are incredible builds.

Glad to see Akruas on here, he finally deserves this recognition as the amount of detail he puts into his builds/videos is amazing

Akruas is the goat for modded cities content and storytelling. Aurelia, Asturis, and Altengrad are each masterpieces.

[jaydeepmohile]

Some of these cities I have seen growing in front of my eyes. So glad all these city builders got the appreciation they deserve for putting in countless hours of hard work and entertaining us. Thank You Guys!!

Incredible lineup of cities by some of my favorite builders! Bravo to all!

[luminou_cs]

It is an great honor to see that many of my creations appear in the city created by Akruas! A big thanks to him !!

[mrmaison]

This wasn't long enough. I could watch these cities for hours. More please! Makes me think about my wish that one day we could somehow visit each other's cities as tourists.

MY TOP CS CREATORS:

I admire IMPERATUR for his layering capabilities particularly his terraforming techniques and his creative ways of using the native assets into interesting ones.

Overcharged Egg's ILOS was a testament, with careful planning and correct blocking you can showcase certain parts of a city.

Cityplanner Plays was different. I enjoy his storytelling, and his tips and tricks.

AURIDON, is a topnotch fewcandy's creation. It inspires me to build a city with character and personality.

ASTURIS was incredible, the epitome of heavily modded city, to the point I couldn't recreate any space from his build. I enjoy how he challenged himself to create a trademark truly of his own.

PHTN Gamings' NISHIMACHI was I jealous about. I love JAPAN. His patience on detailing every space was terrific. What draws my attention was the trains and interchanges...


I was expecting BIFFA, Captain Ahvious, Infracturist, Conflict Nerd and the narrator itself...to showcase their works...

I really hope I can showcase mine, hopefully I could have a computer that meets the requirements of the game.

[danonck]

So happy to see Akruas get his recognition, if anything, I'd put both his cities here, as Altengrad is such an incredible and unique build, taking into account real life and history of Eastern Europe.
My honourable mentions from the ommisions on the list:
Jeremy Thunder's Carribbean build - Scylla Republic, which unfortunately is no longer running ever since one of the updates broke it.

Infrastructurist's Coniferia - for the realistic and extremely pleasant to watch build.

Also I was happy to see creators that I watch for a long time here - Ilos and Auridon are both amazing builds!

I'm a simple ace combat fan. I see the space elevator on the thumbnail; i like immediately

[LarrySkylines]

What a terrific lineup of Cities creations. Thanks Joy!
