Cities: Skylines 2 may have launched in October 2023, but Paradox Interactive and Colossal Order continue to smooth out the edges and give players more ways to play with their ideal (or nightmare) cityscapes. The latest update dropped and with Patch 1.1.0f1 comes the Beach Properties paid DLC that brings new waterfront zoning, as well as new North American and European coastal buildings and landscaping with trees and vegetation for the occasion. You can also check out new additions and fixes to the modding tools to help you create what you want in your own city sandboxes.
