I just stumbled upon that video and have to say: lovely what you could bring out of our game. Btw. Jakob of the Jakob's collection now works for Ubisoft in the Anno team :)
the factory complex idea is really cool, rather than having same building all over the place combine multiple of them and make a complex, that should be in official game.
I haven't played Anno for a while now, I had no idea about creative mode - Thank you so much!! I'm definitely going to play with these mods and get the game re-installed. Bookmarked this vid for future reference! :D
Thank you for showing this, and pinning the list of mods. I'm a fairly new player who likes city building more than the resource balancing, and I keep getting stuck around engineers, and losing interest in the game. Trying the creative mode with these mods made it feel like fun again.
thnx. i think i will download a lot of these mods. i hope u speak later about other gameplay-changing mods. cuz the game really not only lacks variation but also forces the player to build and stack their building and factory close to each other to be in the range of trade unions, townhall or shops. even Hacienda.
Building and stacking production chains together is really just basic Anno stuff going back a couple of decades. Remember, the game is just a pretty Excel spreadsheet. It caters to those who are looking to maximize efficiency. That being said, I do plan on another video covering some mods to help move away from that for those who still want to play with resource management outside of creative mode.
Hey Taka, love this video. I'm new recently to your channel. Have gone through some of your guiding videos. And I must say, I really find them helpful to my playing in Anno 1800. Thank you so much for the time to do them. Really appreciate it.. Greetings from Denmark
Hey man just wanna say I have been watching some of your videos on how to save your game where you are losing money and it has helped a crap ton. Giving a sub to the channel and plan to watch and support more of your videos. Thanks for all the information on game!!
that national civic hall at 9:30 is based on the old national galery in Berlin. And the new skin for the bank at 8:15 is based on Isaak's Cathedral in St. Petersburg
So Anno 1800 isn't a City Builder like SimCity or Skylines because of the lak of ornaments and variety in buildings? The entire video I only see ornaments and retextured buildings, nothing else that introduces gameplay features from SimCity or Skylines like a working public transportation system which on its own would ad a giant bunch of interlocking subsystems and such stuff and Anno 1800 does have some new (if very simple compared to SimCity and Skylines) street features. Anno 1800 can with a bunch of mods be turned into super complex city builder and manager but what I got from your video is merely putting together a pretty looking City with a lot of unique if useles ornaments and variations to make screenshots and as you said yourself you get that from Creative Mode! Placing ornaments is not something that Simcity or Skylines are known for but for their space, recourse and logistics management, pretty much the same gameplay genre as Anno 1800. What you are describing is a dressup game with Cities instead of people. The Anno Series, Simcity and Skylines "are Actuel City Builders", what you are trying to sell is just an art game to paint pretty Cities and you don't need a game for that just get Photoshop or even Windows Paint and place the graphics of the buildings and stuff on the canvas with that. Your desire for pretty looking Cities is alright and I don't have anything against it but you should name your video accordingly: "Mods to make Creative Mode of Anno 1800 perfect". Otherwhise people end up confused and seeing actual gameplay, progression and challenge as a hassle and just want a game for it's creative mode. Imagine Need For Speed but you don't need to unlock new cars and can just use all of them instantly, sounds pretty boring right?
You're totally entitled to your opinion, however, the community of Anno that my channel really caters to and is geared towards prefers to play Anno without the hassle of all of the resource production, mechanics and trade and stuff. They just want to play the game as a city modeler... Very similar actually to how the vast majority of people actually play cities skylines these days. Most people that have thousands of assets and mods and play the game with unlimited money and unlock all on just so they can craft a city. The exact same sentiment that I am putting forward here. City builder has a different definition to a lot of people... Some people want a city builder with simulation, mechanics and progression mechanics, etc and some people just want something that they can build the prettiest city that they can without the hassle of game mechanics. Could the title be a little more succinct? Possibly... But there's a surprising number of people that don't even know what creative mode is!
15:00 OOT: "Herr Tur Tur" is a character from the beloved German childrens' book "Jim Button and Luke the Engine Driver" (German: Jim Knopf und Lukas der Lokomotivführer). Tur Tur is a gentle and polite person, but lives in isolation in the desert, due to a peculiar personal feature: he suffers from inverted perspective. While usually things seem to get smaller the further they are away... Mr. Tur Tur appears to get larger.
WOW! What an awesome video! I'm new to Anno 1800 as I just picked it up during the Steam Summer sale along with all 4 Season Passes. At the 19:46 section of your video you mention that all of the installation instructions for the Mods are at a Nexus page. Could you please provide the link to this page? Thanks so much.
Oh man, what wouldnt i give for a mix inbetween Anno 1800 and cities skylines. Like building my own city in the era of the industrial revolution with the scale of cities skylines.
I'm interested in buying the game for this reason, allowing me to play around with city aesthetics with no restraints. Would everything be available to be used in that mode, or would I still have to purchase DLC to get their respective buildings?
Is there a mod that enhances the cloud textures. I have the base game and noticed in the video clouds off in the horizon which are not in my game. Thanks
Asking as a complete novice to 1800 modding - Would it be possible to mod in islands the size of a certain Cape DLC? That's always been my biggest gripe when diving into the game on occasion. Always feeling like I'm being pushed to build a city there everytime, THE city. In spite of using mods to double housing capacity and such to conserve space.
Yeap unfortunately that's really the only option we have. I desperately would love to do some real world city recreations using all of the mods and creative mode, but crown falls is just not conducive to most of that
What do I do when I get bored 😢. After getting the money and going to the new world. The other worlds song interest me as much. When I reach engineers I just get bored 😔😔.
Seeing this makes me think about what version of Anno that i should buy? Can somebody recommend me the edition to start Anno for the first time? since it's currently on steam sale and about 35 USD for the Complete Edition (My English is kinda bad sorry)
99.9% of the time it is some setting on your web browser that is blocking it. The link works for sure.. lots of people joined after this video went up.
@@TakaRUclips Yes it goes through to my discord for pc and then I get 'unable to accept invite' I am using discord for work and have nitro so I am at a loss why it is not letting me join your channel.
Do you have more mods that you use that would be good on a list like this?? LET ME KNOW!!! Leave a comment or tell me on Discord! discord.gg/KvQQddE
It doesn't let me join your discord.
Are these mods free to download?
Well, now to see if Taka ends up doing a creative mode playthrough just to build a pretty city
I’m dying for it
probably the best game i have ever played
Agreed!

I have so many great memories with this game. I love Anno 1800.
The greco-roman-type building is the old national gallery in Berlin. Nicely done asset!
Your enthusiasm is the best of this video! Love to hear your voice so vivid. 😊
Glad you enjoyed it!

Will you be doing a Creative Mode series? I love how you build your cities and would love to see what you create❤
Possibly!
Awesome Taka. I didn't have muggs bar mod - der! no wonder it wasn't working! Thank you for this info.
Glad I could help!
"Gasparov church" is, actually, the St.Vladimir cathedral from Kiev.

Thanks Taka for the super clear explanation and renewed inspiration! My fingers are itching again for some Anno sessions 😎😎
Rock on!

8:32 actually the green roofing is cooper As well.

Jackob Collection is awesome
It is!!
5:30 I'll build my own Version of London 🇬🇧🤩 (+Paris if is needed).
Oh man, what wouldnt i give for a mix inbetween Anno 1800 and cities skylines. Like building my own city in the era of the industrial revolution with the scale of cities skylines.
There's a ton of black screen at the end. lol, no worries about that obviously, just an observation.
I fixed it lol thanks for letting me know!
Loved this.
"Basically its just a really pretty Excel spreadsheet" ouch, that hurt a lot 😅

There isn't
Asking as a complete novice to 1800 modding - Would it be possible to mod in islands the size of a certain Cape DLC? That's always been my biggest gripe when diving into the game on occasion. Always feeling like I'm being pushed to build a city there everytime, THE city. In spite of using mods to double housing capacity and such to conserve space.
We can't make islands... They were handcrafted by the developers using third party modeling software.
Drat. So realistically the only option is to shrink the footprint of everything or live with the dreaded Cape clones. :D
Yeap unfortunately that's really the only option we have. I desperately would love to do some real world city recreations using all of the mods and creative mode, but crown falls is just not conducive to most of that
Anno 1800 : Modders Strike Back DLC 😂
cant wait for Anno 1940.
world war stuff
Don't hold your breath... The developers have flat out stated that they have no interest in doing an Anno game set in that time period.
What do I do when I get bored 😢. After getting the money and going to the new world. The other worlds song interest me as much. When I reach engineers I just get bored 😔😔.
Seeing this makes me think about what version of Anno that i should buy? Can somebody recommend me the edition to start Anno for the first time? since it's currently on steam sale and about 35 USD for the Complete Edition (My English is kinda bad sorry)
1800, is the best one, if you're into future 2070.
I WANT TO PLAY ANNO 1800!! 😭 & ANNO 1404 AS WELL!! 😢❤
Do I need to make a MOD IO account to have access to mods in the mods browser or can I get mods another way?
Mod IO is the best and easiest way to get the mods
I just wish they would drop the stupid DMR crap it slows my game down
Hmm it doesn't let me join your discord. Thanks anyways for the new information.

i do like 1404 way more and 1503!
the setting of 1800 is just to "modern" it ruins this game for me.
