The game needs more than 4GB RAM to run properly. 6GB in Recommended Requirements don't make any sense.
Recommended Requirements should be :
1) Core I5 4590/FX 8350
2) 8GB RAM
3) GTX 760 2GB/R9 270
Minimum Requirements :
1) Core I3 3220/FX 4100
2) 6GB RAM
3) GTX 650 1GB/R7 250 GDDR5

I think the recomended CPU should be higher, my i5 3470 was causing FPS drops.
PC Specs
yeah even people with kaby lake i7s get lag
PC Specs
I can play with a Intel HD Graphics 4200 Mobile so It shouldn't be hard for others.
PC Specs
hi, what's your FPS?
PC Specs
Can I run on low or ultra low?Processor can be overclocked to 2800mhz or 3000mhz so can it run?With few mods of course and dlc's.
PC Specs
you just said mods. so no. Even with few. Cities Skylines becomes REALLY heavy even if you only have a few, but essential mods, like Traffic manager.
4 Gb of RAM is REALLY LOW to play this game modded, even with 3 mod

Can I run on MacBook Pro 9.2 13-inch mid 2012?
PC Specs
your GPU doesnt cut it, you'll be able run the game but it wouldn't load up the gameplay so no..
PC Specs
I highly disagree, as I have +3000 hours in the game...
with just a i3 3220 3.3 Ghz (almost the same power)
6 GB of RAM
and intel HD 2500 (a bit worse than a HD 4000M)
don't use mods tho.
