While city builders are largely judged on the strength of their freedom and their wealth of options, their life can be prolonged greatly by the use of mods. Paradox Interactive and Colossal Order recognize this and that's why they're offering up full mod tools.

Paradox has released a video today, in which Colossal developers discuss their commitment to mods and note how much they add to the overall experience. To follow up on this, a new modding page has opened up on the Cities: Skylines wiki, detailing the game's Asset Editor, Map Editor, and Modding API.

Cities: Skylines is set to hit PC on March 10. For more on modding, check out the video below and also check out the Reddit AMA that Colossal Order conducted earlier today.

Ozzie has been playing video games since picking up his first NES controller at age 5. He has been into games ever since, only briefly stepping away during his college years. But he was pulled back in after spending years in QA circles for both THQ and Activision, mostly spending time helping to push forward the Guitar Hero series at its peak. Ozzie has become a big fan of platformers, puzzle games, shooters, and RPGs, just to name a few genres, but he’s also a huge sucker for anything with a good, compelling narrative behind it. Because what are video games if you can't enjoy a good story with a fresh Cherry Coke?
