I hope this game has a deeper simulation, has moddable laws, is less focused on how cities look and simulates more than just traffic, and includes essential features like player owned industry and modular services. Cities Skylines fell into a rut where DLC after DLC came out allowing for making these largely hollow tourism spots and buildings that mostly just looked cool and didn't feel like they were really simulated or fitting into a simulation. Hell, take it even further and have class and industrial simulation over time. I also hope they make things more consequential in terms of feeling like people are actually growing up in the city you created, rather than people only showing up and averaging everything out as time goes on.
