Proper Hardness (now with more fire)
My biggest gripe with the game is the lack of any challenge. So here's my attempt at fixing it, haven't had time to test it much, but it seems to work ok. Thanks to Copernicus for the snippet of code he posted in his mod.
*Note: Because of the way cims decide to use a vehicle or not, some cims will try to walk to work and fail if they are too far away and there is no public transport. So for now public transport is mandatory with this mod (although cims can walk quite far).

- Added a wealth counter to residential buildings, every time a worker leaves for work or to shop it goes down, when the worker succeeds in reaching their destination it goes up. Your tax rate affects the amount it goes up by. Needs to pass a threshhold to level up the building, and the building will get abandoned if it gets too low.
- Made it much more likely for fire to spread.
- Added flooding.
- Made it much harder for traffic to despawn.
- Made it much harder for Cims taking public transport to despawn.
- Increased the number of residents who travel to offices.
- Halved progression milestone cash reward.
- Increased construction costs (especially highways, subways, and wonders).
- Increased maintenance costs by 40%.
- Increased chance of Cims using their car.
- Greatly increased unlock price and allow 25 tiles.
- Increased tax rate effect on happiness.
- Workers were less likely to want to go to work when a lot of cars were out, removed this.
- Cims live a little longer (more seniors in your city), this should also have the benefit of having less spiky death spikes.
