Water (single tile) looks really bad since Update

I just wanted to write it down somewhere - hoping more people might agree with me.

The small lake/ponds look way to shallow now and my lovely City (with canals) looks really bad since the update :') I added a picture.

I'm really hoping we get the deeper/wider ponds/small lakes back! <3

  • New Water design doesn’t look as nice as the old water. I believe that most inner city water ways are not boarded by sandy beach edges, rather the are concrete or other man made structures. My cities look like they’re in a droght. I thought you created the flower bed and other landscape items to create a shore look. Please give us option to switch to the older version of water. Thanks for your consideration. 

  • @leonessless I’ve noticed the same effect of the shallow borders of a single pond. Perhaps try and adapt your design, so that the minimum breadth is always 2x Pond (= Lake)? E.g. by removing some unnecessary roads. Most of my waterways are at least that size, and the shallow border effect is less pronounced.

    You’re welcome! I hope it’s feasible and does not disconnect any of your buildings! 😉

    this lake graphic degradation is made periodically to force people change layout of their city thus spend some cash for it
