Ok, so here's the idea: everybody's requesting features that would be awesome to have in the game. Too bad you guys don't have time and/or money to implement all of those. So why not let the community do its part? If you make a game that is moddable almost to its core I'm sure the community would be more than happy to create some of those features themselves. That way you guys can concentrate on the core content. You want trams? Make them yourselves! You think there isn't enough variation in houses? Build your own models! You don't like how the road tool works? Mod it!
