We witnessed it happen to SimCity 4 over a decade. They are some of the most creative geniuses in the gaming world, and have the tendency to dig into code and bring new features-some that were thought to be impossible-and make the game almost unrecognizable from its vanilla launch. It had many features SimCity 4 was missing (like more flexible road networks, dynamic water at any height full 3D, etc.), though not as aesthetic and deep in simulation.īut the fact they supported modding out the gate gave me a lot of optimism because I know this city builder crowd. I've been a member at Simtropolis since 2003, and been through all the heartbreaks as we waited for a new city builder to fill some of the voids we were missing. Why trees?īeswick: My love for city building games started with SimCity 20. Waypoint: Though you've done visual mods of other objects, including trains and storefronts, you've made a shit load of trees. (This interview has been lightly edited for clarity.) To learn more about what makes a tree modder tick, driving them to build dozens of tree for the game, I asked Beswick to answer some questions.
Though Beswick is primarily a Cities: Skylines modder, as a player, it might not shock you to learn he's lost countless hours to the Civilization games, too. "You have made my experience with this game 300% better." "I love all of the trees you have contributed to this game," said one user about the Royal Palm. This is a 2 piece set with large and small versions. Introducing the 50th tree to my collection, Roystonea regia aka Royal Palm tree! it's native to south Florida and found in central America, the Caribbean and many other tropical places around the world. He also tries to give people downloading the mod some details on the real tree they'll be downloading, the result of the research he does while building: When he publishes a new tree, Beswick doesn't just release the model and textures. His work is largely quiet and invisible, meaning most players who download them will, most likely, never remember who made the mod in the first place. From white willows to cherry blossoms, Beswick is careful, meticulous, and thorough in his approach to crafting the often ignored but crucial accessories for other people's city design.
