Seeing the city skyline filled with green happy faces finally puts my mind at ease!
In the Cities: Skylines game, green happy faces represent citizen happiness levels, reflecting citizen satisfaction. Happiness is divided into four categories: residential, commercial, industrial, and office, each influenced by different factors. Methods to improve happiness include providing complete services (such as schools, hospitals, police stations, etc.), managing taxes, and policies. Residential areas need to focus on safety, employment, and pollution control; commercial areas rely on education, product sales, and taxes; industrial areas require supply chains and transportation support; office areas emphasize educated employees.

Cities: Skylines Veteran Shares Some Tips to Avoid Common Pitfalls
City construction sequence should prioritize infrastructure needs: roads → residential zones → electricity → water supply → sewage → garbage disposal → industrial zones → commercial zones → fire stations → cemeteries → hospitals → police stations. In zoning, commercial areas should be adjacent to office zones and avoid direct connection with industrial or residential areas. The power system only requires connecting the power plant to any building to cover the entire area. Mass citizen deaths result from synchronized life cycles - it's recommended to build residential zones in phases. For financial management, maintain 100,000-150,000 in liquid assets, with tax thresholds at 12%-13%.
