Cities Skylines Nation: New community - mods/city journals, news, dedicated forum+

Hello fellow city-builder fans!
logo.png

I've launched a nice little community website called City Skylines Nation. The community sites for the game are few in number at the moment, so hopefully this will help. I hope you find it to be a nice place to hang out!

- Create, share, and read other City Journals. It is in an easy to use system with lots of features, and other users can review, comment and share your journal.
- Mod portal. Create and share mods. You can link to the mod from another website, like steam, or host it here. Other users can download, review, comment and ask for help. You have your own resource discussion thread where you can provide support. You can also subscribe to the mod so you get a notification when it is updated! No more manual searching.
- You can also create tutorials and lots of other things, can be expanded upon requests :)
- Dedicated forum where you can debate the game, city journals, mods, mod requests and all sorts of things. Easy to use categories, in stead of just one "be all" forum category such as here :p
- Share and view others images and videos from the game in our Media section. You can comment, rate and share the media easily on our site or other sites.
- Of course get the latest news via our website news list, or with our Facebook or Twitter.
- Contests are regularly held, first one will be closer to launch :)

Of course the mod and CJ stuff wont be populated much as the game isn't launched yet, but I thought it would be nice to show it so you know what to expect.

PS: If you want to help out (articles, moderator etc), drop me a PM.

Will you also be hosting links to the direct download of items through the workshop and place subscription links?

This may be a great place to go to find things as it looks to be much better organized and sortable than the steam workshop. However - as with other games I play with hundreds of mods - it is a pain to go to these sites to download the latest update to a mod without a subscription notification or steam being able to update to the latest version for you.

I could be misremembering this, but one problem with steam is that if the developers don't include proper checking then the workshop can become rife with duplicate mods.

I could have this totally wrong but I seem to remember it happening when Banished first got Steam Workshop access and the dev introduced a change to clean it up.


I would love for Skylines not have the Mod splintering over multiple sites that SimCity 4 got. Sometimes finding a particular mod for SC4 can be a nightmare.

Bjorn0305: Yes you can link the resource on our site to an offsite location. It doesn't have to be hosted on both places if not desired by the author. I agree, I am not either a huge fan of the steam workshop/forum, it looks very cluttered, so I thought this would provide a more organized experience. Easy to provide updates and support in one place.

Kanimir: Thanks, appreciate it :)

I would think that the CiM Exchange will also be hosting mods for this game too.

Also, forgot to mention: You can subscribe to the mod so you are notified when it is updated, and also if you want to be notified when new posts are posted in the discussion thread for that mod.

Same goes for City Journals too for that matter.

Nice.

And apparently, a moderator and news writer is needed.

For the CJ section, I think it needs further refinement, especially in the Discussion tab, similar to the Steam's "Discussions", divided by topics.

For example, say after I upload CJ #1, I put up a topic of vote: what should the city focus on next
Then, after getting the vote and publishing CJ#2, I want to put up another topic.

Thanks Frode. Looks like you'll have some clients from here. :)

Thanks! :) I am very happy with the activity there so far.

Not sure I get what you mean? They are divided by topics, here: http://www.citiesskylines-nation.com/forums/city-journals.19/ (which is the regular forum view). All the city journal is auto-posted into that forum, which is where the discussion thread for the CJs belong.

We now have a moderator (me) :) but could still need a news writer. If you're interested please contact us.
I hope we can push the community together to one site instead of splitting it up in several. We are getting a lot of new members now so its starting out great ;)
