Rush Hour [Beta]
This mod gives all your Cims free watches and teaches them how to read the time. No longer will you find people in school ‘studying’ at 3 AM, and you won’t have the same traffic at night as you will during the mornings or evenings.

[After Dark] Leisure and tourism specialisations now affect what people doIf you have After Dark, citizens that are close to leisure zoned areas will now go there at night, providing they are open and active. Similarly, tourists that are done for the day will look for available hotels around where they are and check in, then will come out the day after to continue their day.
User creatable events!You now have the ability to make your own events for your citizens at specific unique buildings! This gives you the opportunity to bring in some extra money for your city, but be careful – events attract certain people, so if you set up the wrong event for your city you may lose more money than you gain.
To help bring in more citizens you can set up incentives to attract people who would otherwise not attend. Some incentives improve attendance percentages, however some reduce attendance if there are too few or they run out.
Random events!That’s right. As if your roads weren’t packed enough, Cims will now pile into events hosted by the city. If you’ve got landmarks in your city, they may become the host of some of the various events packed into this mod! Don’t worry though, your citizens will let you know when an event is going to start through…
New chirper messages! #youlovehimreallyDate bar changesThe date bar at the bottom has now been updated to follow the day/night cycle, and now includes yellow blips for events for those who have exterminated Chirpy. When an event is happening your date bar will turn yellow, so you know when it has properly started. The length of the blip states how long the event is going to go on for. Hovering over the blip will tell you the times the event starts and ends at, and if you click it you’ll be taken to the building where the event is happening.
Time sensitive activities
- Children and Teenagers will go to school in the mornings, and some start as early as 6:30. They’ll stay there the entire day (unless they graduate during that time) and leave between 15:00 and 16:00. What they do after that is entirely up to them, and some will come back home whereas others will go out and find something to entertain them.
- University students and adults with jobs start from 7:30 and usually finish between 17:00 and 20:00 (still inaccurate, but I’m working on it). Some will stay out during the night, and some will come home.
- Senior citizens will just do whatever they want all day, and will be heading home by 19:00 if they go out.
- Tourists will generally prefer to stay in your city for the full day and go back home in the evenings. If they are in a hotel at night they’ll stay there through the night, or they’ll find a hotel close to them. In the mornings they’ll go back out to complete their adventures.
Night time budget sliders that can be changed!
Now you can adjust your school and public transport budget sliders for the night without your entire city going into meltdown. Since Cims aren’t out and about as much at night, you can reduce budgets for services that aren’t getting used as much over night.Prepare your roadsRoads are busier during the mornings and evenings, when people are travelling to and from school or work. Make sure your roads and transport services can handle the extra traffic.
In progress
Future plans
- Zoning for random events to appear.
- Generic event building for events to replace with their own models.
Known issues
- Enabling the DEVELOPER: Print all monuments in your city to the console without any unique buildings in your city causes an error.
Bugs?If you’re having issues with the mod please make sure you post your output_log.txt (from steamappscommonCities_SkylinesCities_Data – if you’re on Windows) somewhere and post the link so I can debug any issues.
