You will first need to select the built-in base theme you wish to start from, this is an essential choice as it is not officially possible to change the base theme afterwards. You can access the Theme Editor in the Tools sub-menu, where the Map and Asset Editor currently hang out. Without further ado, let’s dig into what more precisely you will be able to fiddle with. The Theme Editor, however, does not allow customization of Asset collections as we have previously introduced the District Styles for that purpose, but is focused primarily on the visuals and mood of a map. You can pick any of our base theme and override most of their properties to make them your own. With the Theme Editor, we wanted to bring the ability to expand on these base themes so you could create more unique and personal visual variations. We call that tool the Theme Editor and it allows you to create “Custom Map Themes”.Īs you all well know by now, the game ships with various themes, 5 so far (including the upcoming Winter) and each theme emulates a different “fictional” geographical location.Įach element of these themes is created and tweaked to our best to provide a unique city building experience in each environment, this includes visual settings but also collections of buildings, trees and props. Included in the free update we are bringing with the upcoming Snowfall DLC, there is a brand new tool being introduced which enables modders/content creators to make even more amazing user-made content for Cities: Skylines.
