Tourist Mode (Enjoying my creation at street level)

[BuckyDee]

After I've spent MANY hours creating my beautiful city, it's really important for me to be able to visit my city as though I were a tourist riding around.

I want to be able to browse around the buildings and streets like a 2nd Life avatar that can fly at any elevation and glide smoothly through my creation like Superman on a stroll, checking out store fronts, vehicle traffic, pedestrians, people playing and working in their yards and parks, etc.

Will the initial release have this capability? And if not, is this a moddable project?

Grand Theft Auto V, you're welcome.

They mentioned a camera mode where you can move the view around pretty freely, so I'm guessing you should be able to get pretty close to the street level.

You could always find a random cim, track him/her, and then zoom down to the lowest level possible. Or just become better maneuvering with WASD.

We can zoom in pretty low, judging from the screenshots and videos, but it would be cool to see our cities in street level. I probably won't be using it much though, because I feel that city builders look nicer from higher up, and it looks cute too.

From what I understand from the Ama recently, the zoom level will not a Cims level..zoom level will only be up to above heads of Cims. So not to street level.
