A city in Cities Skylines with the words Beauty Hacks

Hello, my fellow sim gamers. Are you tired of your cities looking plain and generic? Bland grids and uninspiring layouts got you down? Well, fret not, my fellow city builders! Today, I’m here to sprinkle some excitement into your urban playground with 5 Cities Skylines beautification tips that will take your city to the next level!

Forget about the monstrous grid layout that plagues countless cities. Use curves, and shapes in your roads. Also, build custom parks that will give your city a dynamic and captivating vibe. 

Having trouble?  Use layouts that you can find online or draw inspiration from real-life masterpieces. Explore different city layouts, and infuse their essence into your creation. 

Every great city needs a captivating focal point. Decide what will be the crown jewel of your city. Will it be a towering landmark that pierces the heavens, or perhaps a sprawling park teeming with life? 

In my city, where a tourist district is yet to take shape, I transformed a simple roundabout into an awe-inspiring work of art. Using the enchanting flower design created by Ricky King, the roundabout blossomed into a captivating centerpiece. I adorned the surrounding areas with lush trees. 

Ricky King shared a genius trick in their video, demonstrating how to place captivating details around essential services. Begin with a wide road, and then position the desired service along its length. Transform that wide road into a narrower path, leaving ample space for intricate details to flourish around the service.

Fences, water features, winding paths, majestic trees—these are the elements that will breathe life into your city’s nooks and crannies.
