Building a 19th century city, is it possible?

[Pink Zeppelin]

Hello fellow city builders!

I have been looking at buying this game for quite sometime now, but I have been reluctant. I have been trying to find a good city builder that allows me to build a city that is aesthetically pleasing to me. Personally I like the styles used throughout the 19th century, so I have been trying to find a game that would allow me to use them even in a modern city.
I have tried Urban Empires, and it was a disappointment and a waste of time, so this is really my last hope.

Thank you for your replies.

The game has map 'themes' and comes with a vanilla 'European' theme which would come closest to what you want. check out some of the custom themes in the workshop.

there's also the RICO mod which allows you to plop every single building.

having said that, the timeframe of the game starts in the present day and moves forward, so you might not be able to completely avoid 20th and 21st century buildings.

I do not mind having small bits of modernity spread out here and there. I think I will pick up the game and give it a view to see if I can put together my ideal city. 19th century and Wilhelmine German cities, here I come.

There are hundreds of assets available on the Steam workshop that when used in conjunction with the building theme/zones mods will go a long way to assist you achieve your goal of creating a Victorian city. The only real issue you will have is that there are few if any forms of 19th century transport

you can build typical modern german towns, there are enough good assets for it in the workshop to mix old and new buildings. the only real problem is a lack of older high density buildings and historical city buildings. i can see more historical high density buildings from my window than i can find in the workshop.
