Getting started from a blank map

Step

In short Picking a map and laying down roads first gives you the foundation everything else depends on.

When you first load in, you choose which map to build on — pick one whose size and style appeal to you. Once you are in, the first real task is placing roads, because buildings go alongside them. After that, buildings start generating income and pushing your level up, which unlocks more buildings to place.

Pick a map
choose based on size and look.
Lay your first roads
start with a simple layout.
Place buildings along the roads
houses and stores come first and immediately start earning income.
Watch your level
every building you place and action you take pushes it higher.
Unlock new buildings
each level gained opens up more options, including larger structures.

Common problems and how to fix them

Check

In short Most stuck points come down to low income or poor road connections, and both are fixable by auditing what you already have.

As your city grows, the cost of new buildings rises and income can struggle to keep up. Before spending anything, check whether your existing buildings are actually earning as much as they should. Road connectivity is a separate issue — AI cars and NPCs only move correctly when roads are properly connected, so a broken route shows up fast.

Income feels too slow check which buildings are earning the least and replace them with higher-income ones.
Can't place a new building remove smaller buildings to clear space for a larger one.
Level isn't climbing try diversifying the types of buildings you place rather than repeating the same one.
AI cars and NPCs aren't moving verify that your roads are fully connected with no dead ends blocking the route.

Driving and visiting other cities

Tips

In short Switching between build mode and drive mode regularly helps you catch problems and stay engaged with your city.

The game lets you get behind the wheel and drive through the city you built. You can also travel to other players' cities in the same server to look around — you cannot change anything there.

Tips worth knowing

Drive through your city after a building session to spot road gaps or odd placements from street level.
Watch AI cars and NPCs move through your streets to confirm roads are connected and traffic flows properly.
Use the visit feature to explore other players' cities and study how they arrange roads and buildings.
