Highway monstrosity SAVES the city in Cities Skylines! | Sunset City 8 

Just one more lane, bro. I swear, one more lane will fix it, bro. C'mon bro, just one more.

Am I the only one who finds the way highways breakup neighbourhoods really interesting? They're like man made scars

You need dedicated left turn lanes, left turn only signals before the main green lights, and the ability for both sides to go at once. Essentially do this 1, main road left turns, 5 sec min/8 sec max 2, main road straits & right only, 10/20 3, secondary road left turns, 5/8 4, secondary road strait & right, 10/20 Make sure every direction has at least 1 dedicated left turn. IMO, The highway exit should be 1 right, 2 strait, 1 or 2 left. Good luck! 🍀

These videos have really helped me through some really hard moments, thanks man, you don't have to make these city videos, but you do, and I appreciate it.

So smooth and soothing, keep up the fantastic effort and love into Sunset City!

Great work dude ! You should place a historic building next to the river in the begging of the downtown. That way u'll give the highway a reason to curb like that, and also would look sick. Maybe just a building with enough importance or maybe the government couldn't move the people living there for some reason. Great content as always, been watching since the Springwood days, yeah its been ages but seems like yesterday. Have a great weekend. Abrazo desde Argentina

Just realized this whole city is miami with the port and miami beach included 👌 love it

The lag issue sounds like it may be a broken node. You might want to run a mod to check for broken nodes just in case.

as a florida resident, this entire series is super cool. been to a lot of the places you're talking about and its super cool to see them in cities skylines. great job man

Any ideas for your next series? How about a Pacific Northwest style build? Portland has a very interesting layout, being on two large rivers, lots of interesting highways and hills, lots of nature preserves and mountains (stratovolcanoes) along the outskirts… and the coastline… it’s a cool place

As much as this was for earlier content, possibly have the monorail line 2 run counter clockwise as the tracks enable it and also it prevents holdups on the monorail loop, possibily if the monorail goes the other direction you could have an interesting flying junction (railway highway interchange basically) to send line 1 that way

loving the content broski!

You should make a mini America with just the big cities!

Just wanted to give you a heads up that the massive performance drop and choppy game play when moving those highways around is likely because of Adaptive Networks. I have been seeing the same exact issue on my end. If you remove the AN mod and move the nodes around it will run smoothly, but you obviously lose the AN functionality. I have also been able to temporarily fix the sluggishness by upgrading the networks to non AN networks. Kind of tough because I love the AN functionality, but I can tell you first hand that it only gets worse as your city grows. I had to just remove AN from my last 2 cities because of similar issues with other AN networks. Would love to see it get fixed. As always love your stuff, keep up the hard work!

I think that weird laggy thing with move-it used to happen to me years ago when I moved things that already had Network Skins mods applied to them. You could delete the affected nodes and the glitch would resolve.

ooh just started watching, but what nice vice city vibes!

Loving the new face paced style to this video

I'd love to see you turning despawning off and sending your cities over to Biffa to fix. That would interesting to see.

As a Lyft driver I drove on those interchanges a lot... They were terrible!

Much nicer bypass traffic flow. :)

A couple things: The lag issue may be a possible broken node. I remember there was something (a mod or an external program) that allows you to find and yeet bugged nodes - I remember other youtuber a couple months back having this There is also under the i think the UnifiedUI mod (I think... could be another one) where you can not only mirror roads (i.e. you make One way going Left and then you can make One way going Right by mirroring it and seeing it how many units away you want it to be) but also being able to make better slopes and curves - might not match what you want but could get close enough to then shimmy around.

i miss when he actually expanded the city in his episodes .Springwood videos still the best imo

You built all those highways to alleviate the traffic which was very realistic for Miami-Dade County in the early 1980s lol

How long is network multitool on the workshop? Half a year? He still uses move it to slope the roads 😅

true america 🤣 great video as always

nice!

That crashing problem is annoying me a lot too! I gaive up to play Cities because of that. Today I tried to start a new city and two times the game crashed when I tried to rebuilt the first interchange (with no reason apparently). I think that is a new problem, probably from the last updates or mods (maybe the new Loading Screen Mod). If you discover what is causing this problem, please make a video about it. Other players can be having the same issue

I really like the spaghetti-ness of the improved highway method, it's really interesting to look at, and breaks the formula quite nicely. However, a couple suggestions for improvements to the highway intersections: At 15:05 I noticed you spaced out two nodes to try and fix the presenting issue, but I would recommend combining them into one big node. Attach one of the highway roads to the other intersection, and use Node Controller to offset and space out both highway roads to the point where they are next to each other as part of the same intersection. At that point it's like a pseudo two-way highway. Furthermore; At the central intersection (10:34), you could employ the same method of hooking multiple one-way highway roads into the same 'direction' of an intersection node to match your needs. I would remove that 6-lane two-way road, and extend both highway roads to that intersection, with a 4-lane highway into the intersection (left/2 straight/right, or observe what you need), and 2-lane highway out of the intersection, to prevent the merge that would occur as it is now. I feel like Sunset City will have more opportunities to employ this method in the future, so if you would otherwise use a two-way road to bridge the gap between one-way roads or highways and an intersection, try and become familiar with using Node Controller to do it all at the intersection, as I think it will look neater and be more functional in the end. Finally, as a couple others said, Broken Node Detector might notice some things that contribute to the lag; it could be something like weird node angles or short segments. Keep up the great work!

nice

you should make dry tortugas national park. it would well fit in with your extreme detail and design @two dollars twenty

I guess I don't really understand why you spaghettified the movement at 11:06 to the port island, since you already had a heavy road heading that way. You could have continued that road to the island and created a set of on off ramps and access road for the two stroads coming into it?

I hate parking lots, but I feel like that in an amerinan downtown you just need it to be authentic (especially next to the new interchange which area you said is gonna have a little more industrial use) Edit: also should allow right turns on red

I had the same issue with the highways causing lag/crashes, but only in one place in my city. No idea why it happens

Yo do you have a collection you use for the series I really like the assets you used great video btw

Driving on that interchange in miami is so hard everyone merging last second unsure of which lane is their route 🤦🏻‍♂️

When will you give us access to the map on Steam. I'm dying to build on that map it's AMAZING

Mate. You've got to move that off map connection out to the 'border' with Georgia or Alabama. The new highway is looking great. But traffic jams straight in from Cuba just give my tiny brain a headache trying to logically comprehend.

ive been having the moveit lag problems for a while now too but they never cause any problems excpet slowing thegame down while moving the node for me

I’m not too sure if youve got it on, but I find that with TM:PE realistic parking I get the same sort of lag moving modes

I like role-playing in cities I just spent over a million on a subway system and it was a complete failure so I'm trying to figure if I want to get rid of it or try to correct the metro stations

Remove the traffic lights in the industrial

There might be cims stucked on a node. Look for them and redraw the path /road.

Also got a crash to desktop today using move it and I don't use those roads so it might be move it. Maybe there's been an update pre patch / DLC?

What mod do you use to walk or go up close to the vehicles?

On my computer (2018 mbp 15”) the game freezes almost every time I’m zoomed in and move nodes around. It gets a bit better when I’m zoomed out but it will eventually freeze after an hour or so. Not sure what that is but it makes the game pretty much unplayable (been going on for over 2 years). It doesn’t happen with node controller disabled.

Is it hard having to always switch out your assets and mods everything you go from Oceania to sunset city?

Maybe change your habit of building highway/road, to reduce Move-it mod to move every Node of the highway parts/any road node.

Why not extend the highway straight through the downtown, with no intersections at all? Would make more sense

what mods and assests do you use? if possible could i get a link to em?

Two dollars twenty what's your pc specs? I love your city its so nice!

When will you post the map to the steam workshop?

and for the love of god disable toggle road binding so that curves are not created when building 14:26

hi! is there a steam collection for this city?

This game reflects how well ment solution makes city's less livable.

lag is caused by pillars, i had same issue earlier

Easiest way to get straight roads is just to use a regular 2-lane road and then upgrade to a highway.

there is a highway that divides my city into half. To go to the neighborhood in front of my building, I need to drive 10 km just to go to the other side.

add highway sign so people know were they're going

$2.20, Looks like here's a hardest redevelopment!

I have the same problem and I found out it is a virtual allocation error that could be caused by no ram

I have the same problem with the highways with them crashing the game, it is pretty annoying.

Gurl, literally there's Network Multitool for sloping the nodes pls

you dont need the upper ramp on your interchange ;) you deleted the other way because they can take the other connection but this way not ?

Now THIS. THIS is americacore

Most pedestrian friendly city in America

can you make this a playlist

Hi

Houston simulator

hi

Let's start off today's video by deleting half the city - love it

Please, do something with the rivers in the city 😭. Without a fence or anything is very dangerous jaja

what map is this?

Resultados de traducción it is a problem of the mod in the nodes the same thing has happened to me a couple of times but it also depends on the power of your pc because when it gets very slow I try to move away from that node and wait 5 min maximum and delete it with move it 14:00

We Miamians call that "The Downtown Distributor." It's ugly and it's complicated, but it gets the job done!

Please collab with biffa to fix your traffic

highways destroy and divide cities

Hey does anyone know how he got rid of the « brown fog » indicating some pollution into industrial zones or landfills? Looks much better 🤙🏻 maybe a mod?

What mods do you use and can someone teach me how to get them I am new

Not a fan of downtown highways :/

Map?

i like your highway and me playing on xboxis so shit

Link to map mod?

pov: america

the best part about basing a city after Miami is that if it turns out to be an ugly disfuncional mess that's just added realism.

save game download?

Highways ALWAYS Save cities. More roads = more traffic = more population.
