Bring Your City to Life: the ai_licia Cities: Skylines II Integration

What if your city could talk back while you build it?
With the Cities: Skylines II integration, ai_licia connects directly to your game and reacts in real time to what’s happening in your city, from population booms to financial crises.
If you're streaming and you want a more immersive experience, this integration turns your city into a living, reactive part of your content.
What is the Cities: Skylines II integration?
The integration connects ai_licia to your local Cities: Skylines II save using an official local mod.
Once connected, ai_licia can monitor your city in real time and respond dynamically to events, conditions, and changes as they happen.
This means your AI isn’t just reacting to chat, it’s reacting to your city itself.
What can it do?
This integration gives ai_licia deep awareness of your city’s state and progression. And based on the severity of the city state, she will react on her own to let you know.
