When it works – when it runs smoothly – Cities Skylines 2 traffic is one of the most satisfying things to behold in all of videogames. You make the perfect road system. You carefully pinpoint your junctions and roundabouts. And then it just flows, every single one of your Cims traveling effortlessly from home to work and back again. When it doesn’t work however, traffic, as part of the broader Cities Skylines 2 simulation, becomes a nightmare. As Colossal Order continues to try and improve its beleaguered city building sequel, two essential new Cities Skylines 2 mods are here to improve some of the game’s most aggravating aspects. If you want a better eye on your Cims’ daily habits and a new way to manage and comprehend traffic, these are vital.
