So I started playing this (always on my radar as I loved Sim City 4 but never jumped in due to the costs of the DLC etc) but all this talk of modding it and it not being able to run on my PC anymore confuses me, what sort of mods should I get/avoid so it doesn't break my game? I have an i5-4690K with 16GB RAM and 980Ti for reference.
I am just literally starting out learning the game so not really looking for anything to make it even more overwhelming, but it would be nice to know if I'll eventually spec myself out of the game if I build some huge map.
Should I just stick with some of the DLC's for the game to start out with? I take it they can't break the game?
Best advice is to play vanilla a little while until your ok with the base game.
Then look at some YouTube videos, strictoaster, fluxtrance, king Leno, you will probably be a bit overwhelmed to start with, bit it'll show you what you can actually do with the game.
Then start installing mods but go a few at a time and learn what each one does and build it up, it'll also help if you end up with any conflicts, mods or also quite a personal thing, but looking through my now quite outdated list, some good ones are:
Building Anarchy
Cloud and Fog toggler
Control Bulding level up
decal prop fix
Dynamic REsolutions
Extra LAndscaping Tools
Fine Road Anarchy
More Beautifcation (this is a must really)
Move it
Nework Extensions 2
Network Skins
Network Tiling
No radiactive desert
No seaguls
Painter
Pedestrian Crossings
Ploppable RICO
Prop and Tree Anarchy
Prop line tool
Prop Precision
Prop Snapping
Quay Anarchy
RAndom Tree Roation
Road Anarchy
Surface Painter
Tree Snapping
Unlimited Soil
Zoning Toolset
That is a complete list but some of the others I have are more personal mods for graphics etc.
