Is the next pack scheduled or TBD?

Maybe this is one more specific to Asia Style build, but thanks anyway!

What I want to share, and I don't want it to be taken as criticism, is that we are getting too much residential areas, and maybe some Industries, Offices (another style of Skyscrapers) or Dense Commerce buildings would be appreciated also. I was hoping to some high density commercial buildings as it's very usual in cities like Tokyo. Hope the Chinese pack has some of them.

And I guess that more dates will be announced after Christmas, right?

not a big fan of this pack personally. The assets look great, but its just not my style. I do like the healthcare and the post office. However i notice in every pack the same thing....

New service buildings, but no service vehicles that go with it. (police, fire, trains etc)
Lack of region specific monuments.
Lack of public transit. (japan has a very recognisable train/metro network)
Never no new industrial buildings (Does none of the region have its own style of factories?)

And i could continue alot.
Its always houses, service buildings and (Some) signature buildings...


Again, the pack looks and plays awesome and i will deff use some of its assets. But just this pack is not the one for me.

“It’s not what I would have wanted …”, “there isn’t enough …”, “there’s too much …” “they should have included …”, why isn’t there …”
Seriously people — it was marketed as, and is in fact, a >> FREE << pack of buildings It helps address the “lack of variety” complaints. A great deal of work went into creating it. It’s not a full DLC. It’s not the be all to end all. More stuff will follow. The negativity, sense of entitlement and lack of patience on this forum about anything and everything is beyond belief.
I accept it and appreciate it for what it is. And I, too, look forward for more to come. Thank you CO and Paradox.

(...) lack of patience on this forum about anything and everything is beyond belief.

Almost 14 months past release. For some even more months since they bought (and paid) for the game.

I would say people have every right to be impatient.

Obviously these are free resources and I don't feel like making any criticism.

Apart from the sensational delay, not because of the modders, we just have to thank them for providing certain content. Some are excellent, others are definitely not, some ideas are right and others aren't, more could definitely have been done, but I'm sure that these modders and also the others who are not part of these region packs have already thought of or already have other options available resources to implement in the game (for example in these released packs there is an almost total lack of shops, offices and industries).

The biggest problem of the game, which is the one for which you have every right to be impatient and nervous, remains the lack of MODS assets which should cover the serious shortcomings of the game from the point of view of content, functionality and graphics.

After more than 1 year you still can't see that foliage and the streets with the horrible textures, those empty sports centers, etc...
