by Fernando Diaz / Articles, Cities: Skylines 2 / 19 Sep 2023

So you’ve got your sprawling metropolis set up in Cities: Skylines 2, but sometimes you wanna take a break from the God-view and see what’s up with the little dudes cruising around your city, right? Well, lemme break it down for ya on how to get all up in their business and spectate those NPCs.

Spot Your Citizen

First things first, you gotta find that one NPC or vehicle you wanna tag along with. It could be anyone – a dude going to work, a kid heading to school or just a random car cruising down the street. Your city, your choice, dude!

Get In There!

Alright, found your target? Cool, now click on their vehicle. Yeah, just a simple click. You’ll see a window pop up at the bottom left corner of your screen. That’s your ticket to the action.

Hit That Focus Icon

Inside that window, there’s this little icon that looks like a magnifying glass; that’s the “Focus” icon -> give it a click and now you’re seeing the world from their point of view.

Zoom and Rotate – Get the Best View!

Okay now you’re focused on your NPC but what if you wanna get a closer look? Or maybe you wanna see what’s happening around them? Easy peasy! Just use your mouse scroll to zoom in & out. Wanna check out the surroundings? Press and hold that scroll, then move your mouse around. You’ll be spinning around like you own the place.
