Find It

Find It is an amazing Cities: Skylines 2 mod for those who are tired of scrolling through the UI to find a specific structure.

Besides enhancing bus stations, this mod also lets taxis pick up civilians and improves pedestrian paths to ensure no one gets stuck in a traffic jam.

Traffic

If you’re still having issues with traffic jams in Cities: Skylines 2, you can try installing the Traffic mod.

First Person Camera Continued

While looking down from above is great for building cities, it can make the gameplay feel a bit detached.

Overground Parking By Dome

If you don’t have enough parking space in your city, you can install the Overground Parking By Dome mod. It allows you to build overground parking structures that can accommodate 66 vehicles. It even features disabled parking and charging spots for electric cars. You can also upgrade the building to increase its total capacity to 190 vehicles.

Population Rebalance

Population Rebalance is a useful mod to have if you’re struggling with population management in Cities: Skylines 2. Many players know that the schooling duration for citizens is unusual and can cause various issues. One way to solve this problem is by using Population Rebalance to tweak the cims’ lifecycle.

That’s the end of our best mod list for Cities: Skylines 2. However, this is not an exhaustive list, so feel free to check out Nexus Mods or Paradox Mods for more interesting and useful additions.
