Cities Skylines 2 is not yet perfect, but it is progressing quickly thanks to the determination of some who are literally revolutionizing the game. See instead.
In the virtual world of Cities Skylines 2, running a city proves to be a daunting challenge, especially when the game’s economy begins to falter, leading to inconsistent rent levels and sky-high property values. Fortunately, a new mod promises to fix these lingering economic issues. Thus offering a breath of fresh air to players battling the downward spiral of land values.
Cities Skylines 2 improves its economy
This mod comes as Colossal Order, the developer of Cities Skylines 2, admits that the in-game economy was not up to par at launch. Despite the developer’s continued efforts to turn things around through new patches, many players have found themselves facing a plummeting economy, where budgets, rents, and other financial factors seem to be spiraling out of control.
This mod, called Rent Control and created by experienced Cities Skylines 2 modder Jimmyok, introduces new customizable settings. Crucial in the economic simulation of the game. It makes it possible in particular to set a maximum threshold for land values, thus putting a brake on the escalation of prices which can push residents out of their homes. This simple solution aims to prevent the destructive cycle of excessive property values.
A mod that changes everything?
Going further, the mod also offers the possibility of customizing the share of the rent. Whether for offices or industrial tenants, contributing to the improvement of buildings. In Cities Skylines 2, a portion of the rent fuels a building’s improvement progress, which can lead to an increase in surrounding property values. Likewise, a portion of the building’s revenue is allocated to maintenance costs, thereby slowing its progress toward improvement.
The Jimmyok mod therefore gives players control over the distribution of rent. But also on the share of income intended for maintenance, thus making it possible to modulate the evolution of buildings and land values. For those seeking to moderate economic growth, simply allocate less rent to improvements and increase the portion devoted to maintenance. Conversely, to accelerate development, it is possible to increase the portion of the rent intended for improvement and reduce maintenance costs. In short, a great step forward which is available here which allows you to get closer to the quality of Cities Skylines 1.
