Does Playing other building management games such as the sims and sim city makes you more better and creative and expert in planet zoo games ???

I do not have planet coaster currently.. I was wondering should I buy the planet coaster game cos my building skills cmi

I have had (and still have) lots of fun playing planet coaster. But I'm a huge fan of theme parks too... I love to ride coasters, so to me this is a dream come true! Now with loads of DLC and pretty much at the end of it's life, this game gets on sale often. The simulation part of the game is simple : put scenery all over, guests will be happy....
But.... Building pieces by pieces insane themed coaster, then riding them, I think it's great. More room for creativity, less room for micromanaging the simulation side. UI is more snappy too, so you can build faster. Community is also a good point, even with not many players, community is quite lively, discord groups, streams and youtube channels, etc. The introduction of user content is also a great solution for perenity, as no new asset will be released (probably) but players can make some and import into the game. Variable quality (and variable morality... IP wise) is to be expected. Still, these make planet coaster an actual level editor and can serve as introduction to more advanced digital art software workflow ... like, blender, unreal engine.... that kind of fancy stuff that can lead you to work in the gaming industry (O.O).

I consider a 'worthy'' game one that gives me 1$/Hour play. I got thousands and thousands of hours of planet coaster... so ya worth it!

It's good to see what everyone thinks about this topic - I absolutely agree that it is subjective and a matter of being patient and kind to yourself as you keep building. I know that I myself am one of those people that will think something up, attempt to make it, fail, and ditch the idea. However, when you see the incredible blueprints on the Steam Workshop, they look so good because those creators think something up, attempt to make it, fail, and keep trying until they get it right.
I would also advise looking anywhere and everywhere for inspiration! Many of the Planet devs at Frontier used to take blueprints apart that were on the Workshop to see how they were made for the purpose of thinking up new useful pieces, but it did also make them better creators. There's a wealth of content creator videos out there too, I would recommend watching them for tips and tricks, and seeing what you feel comfortable with (re)creating. ♥
