Lorentum (Vanilla "Realistic" WIP Build)

Originally created/posted March 2015 with vanilla Cities: Skylines as well as some custom assets using the default "Sandy Strands" map

This city save is certainly not "finished" by any means. The central areas are more or less complete, but the city kind of abruptly ends at its edges. I still plan on building it out more and making it feel more organic. I also plan on optimizing traffic/transit more and building some outlying small towns, so stay tuned as I update!

As @4DEATH pointed out below, I originally submitted this save to the Steam workshop after I got overwhelmingly positive feedback on the reddit post I made back in March 2015. If you're interested in reading my silly commentary without having to go to reddit, you can instead view the standalone imgur album here.[imgur.com]


To get this map's save file to work correctly, you may need to subscribe to the mods/assets listed in the sidebar. I don't think any are absolutely necessary, but the few custom assets I included will be missing otherwise. This is a vanilla save, though, so no expansions are required.

Also, as helpful user @Nightmare Eyes mentioned in the comments, you may want to disable various popular and game-changing mods and/or activate the base game's infinite power/water mods to ensure that this save runs smoothy. Although I originally created the city without any "cheats" or game-changing mods enabled and it worked just fine on my end (circa ~2015, at least), that may not be the case anymore for everyone.


It's been a while since I last worked on this, and I understand that it may not be really particularly "realistic" anymore, especially in terms of what other exceptional City-Skyliners have done with their own cities more recently; this game has definitely evolved a lot since its original release in 2015, with several new expansions & game features, as well as the myriad custom assets that other creative users have added to the game within the past three and a half years. Still, seeing as how I have continued to recieve positive feedback on this save, it may still be worth a look!

I'm going to resume work on this perpetual work-in-progress soon, with the new assets/expansion features included, so stay tuned. I'll make sure to keep this (mostly) vanilla save on this particular page for both posterity & ease of accessibility, so I'll direct those interested to a new workshop item after I've made some progress. Thanks for all the helpful reception, I hope y'all enjoy!
