Cities: Skylines is one of the most modifiable games of the moment. Since its launch, the developers have encouraged the community to create several mods that improve the gameplay, and the results are significant. For you who want to optimize your game and fix those small "flaws" that the version without mods left, we have created a list with 11 indispensable mods for those who play Cities: Skylines. Check out!
1. Watch It!
Undoubtedly one of the first mods you will want to install. Watch It! provides various crucial information about your city, in the most accessible way possible. The mod inserts several small icons on the screen, each icon representing an aspect of your city, such as water, electricity, garbage, education, crime, etc. If the icon is green, it means that that aspect is going well, if it is red, it is going bad. In addition, by clicking on each icon you have access to more detailed information. For example: if you click on the education icon, you can see the percentage of graduated or illiterate citizens, level of efficiency, active schools, etc. Click here to download the mod.2. Find It!

Whenever you want to edit something in Cities: Skylines, the scene is all white, which often makes it difficult to accurately view certain locations, especially when there is already a lot built.

You can return to the original whenever you want. Click here to download the mod.8. Ultimate Eyecandy
