like actual spatial disposition
marsh heath
Ah. Well I'll nee- theres one
marsh heath
Ok so. You want things to look realistic right?
delicate ferry
realistic in functionality but still appealing to the eye
as for now my cities are just squares and rectangles intertwined
marsh heath
Hmm well first. You would have to revamp your whole city.

just asking there some tips ?

So generally for things to look good. You shouldn't just have squares everywhere. Add a highway going through. A diagonal road ect.
One second let me show you
delicate ferry
highway, yeah, I'm not sure how I could put it
marsh heath
These two for example.
The one on the left does use a square grid but the shape is not constant. And it has side roads and such.
And the one on the left is an example of how you should sometimes mix up your angles.

Think of it in a real life perspective. How would you get into that building.
Where would you park?
ECT ECT.
delicate ferry
hm.. not sure I can figure it out
marsh heath
?
delicate ferry
like mentally
marsh heath
Yeah. It's a bit overwhelming.
marsh heath
Like I said I highly recommend looking for inspiration somewhere if you want things to really look good
And don't worry about getting plugins. You can make a nice city without plugins
marsh heath
I'm not helping very much am I.
Hmm.
I can definitely help out with. Your other issues though.
Where are you having traffic issues?
marsh heath

Where are you having traffic issues?
usually in the factory zone.. can't seem to make it in a way that traffic flows
marsh heath

Yeah industrial areas are almost impossible to fix without decreasing traffic flow.
There are two options.
Improving your road network, or decreasing the amount of vehicles that spawn in settings.
