What DLC should i get?

[Sn3ipen]

Greetings.

I bought ths game on release and haven't played it for months but want to take it up again.

What DLC would people suggest that I spend my hard earned money on?

I suggest Back to the past. It features non-futuristic vehicles from CiM1 and I usually use all of them. Unlike Bus mania, where I use only one bus from the DLC, because I just "cannot live" with one doored buses . The metro one is not so bad, but I miss the rear parts of trains (which CO promised to fix, just like the capacity of Ness Translink from Trekking Trolleys and didn't fix it in the newest patch ).

Shame you missed the Christmas Steam sale, since all DLCs were 75% off I believe. But I recommend Back to the Past as well, if you want some nice looking vehicles. Unless you do like the whole futuristic thing, then really any other will do, depending on which transport mode you like the best and use most often. Olden Times also has two nice trams, a nice trolley, a nice waterbus and one okay bus, but the other one is uglyish. Of course it all comes down to personal taste, so take a look at the them all and decide what you think looks the best. You can't really go wrong since none of them change anything in the game, they're mostly just cosmetic. Yeah some stats are different here and there but not so much. Also keep in mind that the DLC Tram Tremors can only be purchased from the IG store.

Simple, just get the ones with vehicles that attract you the most.

The only DLC that actually has a new feature is the metro one as it allows for new metro trains with variable length (which you get to configure at the timetable).

As for the buildings... well, if you need to "cheat" by adding a super-magnet building you can get some of those. I believe it's worth going to the in-game store to check them out as some buildings are free - or were free a few months ago.

Thanks. I went with the Tram DLC, Back to the past, Olden Times and Metro Madness.

Trekking Trolleys is good too, i mean if you like the trolleys. I'm a big fan of those...

They are all on -50% sale now, except for the new monorail DLC of course

Sn3ipen: this is pretty standard procedure in gaming. You can't expect that the newest addition will be on sale, at least for a few months..

I guess Sn3ipen meant the timing with buying all the other DLCs right before the sale

in a flash sale in the steam winter sale, the sale was at 75% (exept oldern times)

My bad. Yes, this is obviously a very frustrating situation for him. These discounts are weird, hard to predict (except the winter sales of course)

P.S. some information should be great before a discount like this...

Yes, thats exactly what i did, but i am not complaining so much anymore because i am having fun with the game and you cant get much better than that.

Olden Times. They have more choices I find, especially if you use a lot of trams and buses. And the Stern-Berger midi bus in that DLC is REALLY good.

6 months after I purchased the game, I noticed there is an in-game store as well.. and it has a tram pack (which doesn't seem to be on Steam), but like with the other DLCs the descriptions aren't exactly good. I'd just like to see the 'stats' for the different vehicles in the different DLCs - does such a thing exist?

I'm happy to pay for DLC, but not if they just write "pay €5 to get these 5 different nice vehicles".
