Cities: Skylines is currently the number one selling game on Steam, and the building simulator has inspired numerous creations from players around the world. Among those players is Bryan Shannon, former artist at Maxis Emeryville.

Former Maxis developer Bryan Shannon, a member of the team that worked on the ill-fated 2013 SimCity, has been creating content for Cities: Skylines on the Steam Workshop since he was laid off in the studio's recent closure. Now he's set up a Patreon to continue his modding work, asking for donations for each building model that he creates for Colossal Order's excellent city builder.

In my review for The Sims 4 in early September 2014, I cited a user-made list of numerous features the game didn't have when propped up against its predecessors and I factored that into my ultimate score of 3.5 stars. That would be a relatively fair reaction; for longtime Sims fans, the lack of the open world, create-a-style, and build options were flaws egregious enough to blacklist The Sims 4 forevermore. But EA Maxis has been doing its best to play catch-up since then and convince them with continual patches and the upcoming expansion pack, Get to Work.

Baden of WGB: "Lets face it, to top last years disastrous Simcity from Maxis and EA Skyline Cities didnt really need to do all that much. Provided the game actually worked it would already be leagues ahead of SimCity in the eyes of most people, but happily Cities is much, much more than just better than SimCity. No, its a hugely satisfying and well designed city builder in its own right that will soak up way too much of your life."

Vic B'Stard writes: "Paradox Interactive, publishers of the so-so Cities in Motion transport planning simulators have now entered the full-on city-building fray with Cities: Skylines. After years of disappointment, I find out if this is the city builder that we have been waiting for. Now I love a good city builder, going all the way back to the original SimCity on my Amiga. SimCity publisher EA and developer Maxis have been tinkering with their formula for decades giving us some hits in SimCity 4, some misses in SimCity Societies and a bit of a disaster in their 2013 SimCity."
