Description

Create a Nocturnal Metropolis

Turn your city into a haven for night owls with a host of new policies added in After Dark. Keep commercial zones open 24/7 and let your city’s nightlife thrive! Don’t let your citizens get too rowdy though, enforce a policy to keep leisure areas closed during the early hours of the morning to reduce noise pollution.

Leisure specialization:

Commercial areas can specialize in leisure activities. Leisure areas are especially active during the night, but work like regular commercial areas during the day.

Tourist Specialization:

Commercial areas such as bars and restaurants, small marina and fishing tours on the shoreline can specialize in beach activities

Expanded City Services:

  • Criminals will now be taken to Prison from Police buildings.
  • Taxi service will help citizens and tourists travel around the city.
  • Cargo hubs are harbors that accept cargo trains straight to the terminal.
  • International airport is a huge airport, allowing much more traffic than the previous airport and has a metro station attached to it.
  • Bus terminal allows citizens to transfer to other bus lines in the terminal building.

Free trial is a scam, do not do it, if you do and end up buying the game you cant refund it as the trial will count to your play time.

After Dark is a nice DLC. Bikes are the best part of this DLC as they free up traffic and bring a more realistic charm to your city. I don't find taxis very useful in this DLC, though they are a nice addition to the game. The new policies are nice and commercial specializations. Overall, a pretty good DLC. NOTE: Day and night cycles are in the BASE game.
