Cities: Skylines: Content Creator Pack: Train Stations

The Content Creator Pack: Train Stations for Cities: Skylines was developed by community creator BadPeanut and published by Paradox Interactive. It was released on May 21, 2021. This DLC was part of Paradox's initiative to collaborate with modders, bringing community-created content into the official game lineup. BadPeanut's work focused on enhancing the game's transportation infrastructure, specifically the train and metro systems.

The pack introduced 12 new train stations and 4 transport hubs, offering a variety of designs to suit different urban landscapes. These stations included elevated, ground-level, and underground options, allowing players to integrate them seamlessly into their cities. The designs aimed to complement existing expansions like Mass Transit and Sunset Harbor, providing modern and functional additions to the game's transportation network.

Promotion for the Train Stations DLC was carried out through Paradox Interactive's standard channels, including announcements on their website, social media posts, and community forums. The DLC was highlighted as part of the ongoing collaboration with community creators, showcasing the quality and creativity that modders bring to the game. Visual previews and developer diaries were shared to generate interest and inform players about the new content.

Reception of the DLC was mixed. While some players appreciated the new station designs and the added variety to the game's transportation options, others felt that the pack did not significantly enhance gameplay. Reviews on platforms like Steam reflected this divided opinion, with some praising the aesthetic improvements and others questioning the value of the content. Despite the mixed feedback, the DLC was generally seen as a solid addition for players who enjoy customizing their cities' infrastructure.
