Cities Skylines Mac M1 Reddit [PRO 2027]

MacBook Air M1 (8-core GPU, 16GB RAM).

I’d rather play locally if possible.

I know the golden rule: “Don’t expect PC modded 81-tiles with 5,000 assets.” Totally fine with that. I just want smooth enough gameplay for casual city building. cities skylines mac m1 reddit

Hey folks, I’ve been digging through old threads and the info is all over the place. Looking for a on running CS (vanilla + maybe a few DLCs) on an M1 Mac. MacBook Air M1 (8-core GPU, 16GB RAM)

Thanks in advance – trying to avoid buying a PC just for one game 😅 M1 Air 16GB: 30-40 FPS on low/med at 1080p. Playable up to ~60k pop. Rosetta only (no native ARM). No heavy mods. Gets warm but no major throttle on Air. Vanilla + a few DLCs is fine. I just want smooth enough gameplay for casual city building
