How to Make a Big Realistic City in Cities Skylines 

TazerHere hi

Why do you place so many trees?

very good comment

Pres i agree

I am here!

Realistic consumption might help

Welcome to Multiculturalism.

@@slyguythreeonetwonine3172 when you PWN a libtard AWESOME STYLE!!!!

Not for me

@LORDE 2729 Calm down. He made a comment on a Cities Skylines video.

I actually built a whole new PC just because of this game. lol

mephistopheles that’s awesome! How did it run?

mephistopheles so did I. Runs like a dream

@@diegomurua4798 Mine runs just fine, came with a good processor and I just upgraded the ram and added a better dedicated graphics card

I had an idea for this, but we need mods enabled on Stadia...and for the game to be there as well. :/

I got a good FPS increase without theme mixer too-just recommending it to people because not all can use a totally local map theme with selected textures in it.

@@PresCities True - sometimes it's definitely necessary, but not needing Theme Mixer can definitely save double digit FPS.

@@bsquiklehausen What is the simplest way to take individual textures from different map themes you like and make your own theme, thus rendering the theme mixer mod no longer neccecary?

Is there a way how to extract theme textures from 3-4 different map themes and then create one own theme which uses my favourite textures from 3-4 map themes? This way it would be possible to build your own theme and dont use theme mixer.

@@Izmael1310 Unfortunately that's not possible.

Story of my life...

Is there any way to cure workshop addiction? Rehab perhaps?

mephistopheles I have SOOO MANY ASSETS and i a have very low ram memory. I have like 4GB or smth it’s very sad. So I really can’t play the game correctly, I would love to have at least 16 or smth like that but sadly I don’t. And I have been unsubscribing from so many assets and mods but they are just necessary like I cannot unsubscribe from like realistic pop or like real time like they are just necessary. I NEED MORE RAM!!!

@@eduardoleonlotero I have 32gb with the game running on a Samsung nvme and it still grinds down once your city gets big.

I spend more time on the Steam Workshop than in the actual game at this point.

well yea

passion

Different people play the game differently. Some just want the most efficient city within the game's limits, while others couldn't care less how the city actually runs but want it to look as realistic as possible.

@@mephInc Exactly... this is where multiplayer (with the right combination of people) would be great! I can spend hours tweaking traffic light sequences yet would find doing the level of detail shown in this video, tedious

If it'll look good, it's worth it

watch till the end I suggest a tutorial which already does that

@@PresCities which defeats the entire purpose of this video.

@@TheJwwinter No, this is just another video that gives some pretty good tips.

@@ECMalcolm How no ?? Having less props, purging subscriptions and his other tips here are generic tips to Cities Skylines and not exactly specific to having realistic cities. I mean no they are not bad tips in anyway but are not the most important when it comes to creating a "realistic" city. He said two dollars twenty has a tutorial to the most important tip, I'd rather watch that than this and change the title of this video.

@@TheJwwinter Are you getting off your lazy ass and making a video to share with the community? Im assuming not. Pretty easy to criticize the wording of a title when you bring nothing to the table yourself isnt it? Seriously what happened to you in the past to make you this way?

you gotta return!

@@PresCities, I really want to, but I don't have the time for that, I have family now and a lot of things are going on with my life right now. Maybe some day :)

it helped me a lot!

welcome back

Hope they expand the console experience so it could be at least a bit similar to the PC experience :P Glad you're able to enjoy anyway!

@@PresCities They certainly have and it has come a long way since it's launch on console. They had season pass which I bought and it was well worth it. Season pass one had all the DLC's up to mass transit. They were launched in order and not all at once. There was also some mods and assets ( at least for Xbox one although PlayStation 4 may have it now.) There was also Art Deco content creator pack. Obviously were still well short of having all the capabilities of PC version but it is certainly enough to make great looking cities although it obviously still not were the quality of some of the awesome and realistic cities of PC. There is a big announcement for the console players on January 31 and I am very excited about it. Many are suspecting a season pass 2 and hopefully this gets us closer to having more of the options and assets that PC has. I definitely enjoy playing this game on console but to be honest I would enjoy it on any device and hopefully that includes PC in the future. Have a great weekend!

@@stanplutnicki7620 Hey, you don't need that beefy or expensive (relatively speaking) of a PC to have a C:S experience way superior to the console versions.

If only consoles had.. Move it mod and more roads and trees... Nice to dream

Good luck!

adding one to every episode now

@@PresCities mah man

VDB I guess fine prop tool or smth like that. Its called fine prop anarchy I think idk

honestly i thought this tutorial was barely gonna be useful but im glad it helps!

Doing it on your main account will make it basically impossible to enter the editor due to lag. You edit assets to save time so you don't have to continue editing each building in your city

I started having trouble with mine at about 70k. I didn't even think about the traffic. I don't have any problem areas but I don't have a lot of public transport either. So maybe too many pedestrians and private vehicles are causing my problems. I'll work on some bus lines and see if that helps. I do have several metro lines running. But that obviously leaves people getting to and from the stations.

Buses seem to only add to my problem with traffic. Planning for dedicated pedestrian and bike paths that connect major areas, along with a metro or monorail network seems to work pretty well without disrupting traffic. For remote areas or a city that's spread out, a train line works pretty well also. I suspect the vehicle count is what's causing the slow down for me, I typically end up with a ton of industrial traffic. I've been experimenting with boosting education to try and utilize more offices instead of industrial areas, not sure yet if it's going to work. I may still end up with a ton of delivery vehicles clogging up the roads.

The game simulating a car or a person is same-same. The more going on, the harder it's going to be to process. As far as industrial/commercial traffic, it really helps to not have large blocks of either. Spread them out. It also helps cut down on the traffic if you limit the small (1x1) buildings from forming. Say you have a narrow strip of boxes to zone (1x?). Don't do it. You'll end up with a boatload of tiny buildings and each will generate just as much traffic as a 4x4. If (as you should) you separate your industry into small sections throughout your map, it'll also help to connect them with cargo train terminals. It'll cut back on trucks traveling all over the map and they'll instead just go to the nearest terminal and the goods will be shipped across the map.

@@bolland83 try adding more cargo terminals if you haven't already. Industrial areas will send trains to each other and commercial areas since it is more efficient than trucks. It's fun to see trains pulling into a depot and see that they are from another depot nearby.

the graphics card is fine but you will need at least 16gb of ram to run loads of assets

also wondering if u know any good stuff for japanese/asian cities

Good luck with the PC upgrade- you will need more than 8gb of RAM for high asset counts. And the second steam account is so that the asset editor actually loads (loading it with all your assets on your main account will cause major lag)

@@PresCities I'm planning a threadripper build with 32 gigs of RAM. Mainly because I am tired of background processes hurting performance. I now have a thread fetish. I guess I don't have enough assets to see any lag in the editor even with my potato computer.
