This DLC is entirely focused on encouraging players to be more mindful of the environmental impacts their actions have, not only on their people, but the world surrounding their city. I would try to make my cities as green as I possibly could – establishing water and energy caps, low vehicle areas, and encouraging recycling – but it was never enough.īut then I saw that Paradox were bringing out a Green Cities expansion. You can imagine, then, my inner torment as I polluted the Earth with massive industrial areas, gas-guzzling cars, and waste services that created a gross greeny-brown smog in Cities: Skylines.

Think Green Cities is political? Wait until you find out that Cities: Skylines was almost a political sim. Even in Planet Coaster I only reluctantly put down Chief Beef food shops or Cosmic Cow Milkshake stands because I know that, if I didn’t, my guests would probably die… or just not come to my park.

In The Sims, for example, I will give my virtual people a vegetarian trait and make sure they do not eat foods with egg or dairy in.

If I am playing a game in which killing or farming animals for food is not a necessity to survive, then I will avoid it. Since going vegan I have been trying to make the videogame characters under my control follow suit.
