You know you played too much Cities when...

[Vampiro_nl]

- I was driving my car,ended up in a traffic jam and wonder why i downloaded the no despawning mod

- I was driving the highway yesterday and was wondering what this intersection looked like should i recreate it in Cities.

- I was wondering wheater i should rate my neighborhood level 2 or level 3.

I was driving the highway yesterday and was wondering this intersection is not efficient enough for dump drivers

Fixed

....When you look up and realize it's 4:30 in the morning. And still don't want to get off so you have to close your eyes and turn off the machine and go to bed. Then you find yourself having zoning activities in your dreams and wake up tired as shit at 8 am because you have things to do. So you go through the day tired but scheming on when you can get back to the machine to continue what you were doing while promising yourself you will be good and go to sleep early after doing a few things in the game.......yeah right. Then you get sick from lack of sleep and get put on your back.

I wonder why everyone is using all lanes on a freeway instead of just the middle one.

 

[Polarisan]

When you walk around your city and you wonder what type of zone it is, but never come to an answer because a lot of buildings are commercial at the bottom and residential beyond the ground floor.

So yeah, Get on it. Mixed residential and commercial zones.

I was in Chicago over the weekend. Made a point of looking for building I know were added by modders and was scoping some I wish I had the talent to make.
Was also gazing with envy at the EL running directly over top of streets and trying to figure out how to best model a similar feel.

... youre trying to rebuild the roads when you're stuck in a traffic jam (or even have to wait 20 secs on a traffic light).

 

[Xterminator]

Get stuck at a traffic light, and start thinking about what kind of roads and intersections you can play with to remove that light.

When I drive through a windy canyon road on my way to town and start thinking about how much more efficient it would be to make it a 4 lane two way road instead of 2 lane way one road.

When I drive into the little quaint mountain town near me and immediately start thinking about how I can create a replica of it in the game.

 

[Myquandro]

When the train has stopped moving in the middle of a field and you wonder how long it takes before the trains in front will despawn.

 

[BlackPanther74]

When you see a nice intersection, junction or park layout in a flyover scene on television and you have to pause and rewind the show so you can take a picture of it so you can try to replicate in game. I currently have about 20 pics saved

... when you go into your local zone park, and wonder how many houses it can serve.

 

[NorthStars]

When you're driving through a crappy neighborhood and you can't help thinking about the quick-bulldoze mod.

 

[FX2K]

I wonder why everyone is using all lanes on a freeway instead of just the middle one.

They all use the middle lane here, so no immersion is lost

Anyway.....you know you play too much....

When you start looking for a way to reset the steam hours played counter

 

[Polarisan]

You know you played too much when you wonder why the metro stations on your city are actually minimalistic and fit on the side-walk and the ones in CSL take up a whole building's worth.

You know you played too much when you actually go around walking wondering what's different between the game and real life and spot things that could improve the whole immersion experience, for example, things on the sidewalk. Like a small bar having a few tables outside, a news-stand, a flower shop, an actually small subway station..

 

[JerkyJerry]

There is no such thing as playing too much Cities!

 

[CocoCincinnati]

When I'm stuck in construction on my morning commute and wonder what is taking so long. Just bulldoze the old road and put the new one down.

 

[Wenla]

when you wake up middle of the night and suddenly realize how to do it (=any confusing thing) - and in the morning you remember that you solved it, but can't remember any more how...

This is happening to me ALL the time! I finally decide I really need to get some sleep, and all night long I am thinking of how I can fix this or that. It's fun, but so bizarre. To say I adore this game is the understatement of the year

 

[youngzack]

You compare your wife with the Chirper

 

[MiguelBazil]

I don't think there's a mod to disable that
