The BEST MODS in Cities Skylines 2
1,044Cities Skylines 2 MODS (and how to install mods in Cities 2) are the focus today, delivering where the base game does not. From extended road tools like quays and tunnels, to plopping mature trees row upon row, here are 8 great mods you need to try in Cities Skylines II. From UI mod overhauls and modded improvements like city monitor and extended tool tips, to gameplay balancing mods like economy fixer - there should be something for everyone on this list! Here are some of the best Cities Skylines 2 mods (you can play right now!)
HOW TO INSTALL MODS IN CITIES SKYLINES 2:
At the time of producing this video, mods are only available through 3rd party sources. Official mod support is expected to launch in 2024.
In the meantime, I used the Thunderstore Launcher & their website (links below) to install mods, and then launch Cities Skylines 2.
Other providers include: Nexus Mods (notably), citiesskylines2mods, and modscities 2, r2modman. Mods can be manually installed, or auto-installed (I used Thunderstore).
HOW TO PLAY MODS IN CITIES SKYLINES 2:
After you've installed them, manually or automatically through a third party you can generally mix and match them all together. A fresh save would be the safest way to play, but most broken things can be deleted and replaced if something does go wrong.
I used Thunderstore Launcher, after using the "Install with Mod Manger" option via their website. Then I launched the game through the launcher (not Steam directly), after creating a mod playlist and enabling my chosen 8.
IMPORTANT NOTE:
Mods are a use-at-your-own-risk option, supplied through 3rd party providers and not officially by Paradox Mods (as of December 2023). Download and use that at your own risk. I can't vouch for the validity of any mod provider.
