Can you even do that with the modding tools for the game? I thought it was just limited to simple things like adding new buildings and changing certain values. It's been a while since I've touched this game though, so they could've expanded it.

[PTTG??]

Might have to hack things- like having houses send out "oxygen trucks" to pick up a weekly ration of air, but most of that should work. The diseases might be harder.

[Xgamer4]

My first thought for oxygen was to hijack the mechanisms used for water. Or just wholesale replace "water" with "oxygen".

Why not just make a new game?

Because there's more similarities than differences and I don't want to even start to figure out how to build a an agent based simulation engine from scratch.

New expansion announced, brings in weather and seasons, including trouble with snow for traffic. Very Finnish expansion, just lacks booze.

Here is a link.

Not impressed at all. Looks like you get some half-baked winter mode instead of a fully fledged season mechanic and a transport upgrade that should have been in from the start. Probably going to be 15USD as well.

[PTTG??]

...Why would anyone want to make a separate "winter" map?

This is a huge mistake, it should be an option on any/most maps. What the heck were they thinking?

[Putnam]

spaghetti code

winter is coded as an agent

[Majestic7]

Well, people don't necessarily want to play winter maps, so it makes sense that there isn't winter effects for all maps.

[Rose]

Yeah, but it would also make sense to have winter about 1/4 of the time, and other weather the rest of the time.

In other news, a modder finished the incomplete After Dark to add an actual traffic cycle.

Why did this have to be a free mod, while nonfunctional funding sliders (sliders which have no effect besides reducing land values because school budgets go down overnight) and pointless commercial specializations apparently required an entire dev team?

I ended up turning off the day cycle.  All the lighting wrecks my performance.

Colossal Order probbably hired Notch as development strategy consultant.
