Japan\u2019s Ministry of Land, Infrastructure, Transport and Tourism is looking into developing mods for Cities: Skylines<\/strong><\/em>. The plan for their development looks to be related to another project being led by the ministry, Mogura VR News<\/a> reports.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Cities: Skylines<\/em> is a city management simulation game where players develop and grow a city as its mayor. It\u2019s a job that covers a wide range of responsibilities including setting up residential and industrial districts, setting up infrastructure like water lines, and providing services like education, law enforcement, and healthcare. Cities steadily grow and come alive as their populations increase, and each resident has their own lifestyle that you can observe in the game.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The game also has an active modding community around the world doing everything from making the gameplay systems more convenient to adding buildings and structures. There are also a lot of mods for Japanese-style buildings and other items such as traffic lights, roads, and infrastructure facilities. By using these (or by making their own mods), some players have managed to create Japanese-style cityscapes.
