I think he also uses some assets that act as planning roads to plan future development without a cost. Two dollars twenty on YouTube started a series called Sunset City where he does a similar thing to try and play the game a bit closer to how it was intended. Sometimes I'll use the ultimate mod to add a slight boost to income if I'm working on a big development and finding that money is impacting my creativity. It always made me rapidly grow the population just to unlock areas I wanted only to destroy it all and rebuild later correctly. I've always hated being limited by the squares when I played normally. Only thing I do is use 81 tiles mod to unlock the whole map from the start (either 25 or 81 tiles).

Ive more recently started playing without unlimited money or any progression. I played for a while on with everything unlocked and unlimited money so I had creative freedom but I found that overtime it made the game boring having none of the limitations and trying to build everything perfect from the beginning.
