Building a Highly-Detailed Realistic European Village From Scratch in Cities Skylines!

I wanted to work with a different theme than usual, so here's a full from-scratch build of a highly-detailed realistic European village situated alongside beautiful scenery near a river - featuring narrow cozy streets, a beautiful old church with an overgrown cemetery, an open center square lined with cafes and restaurants!

French guy here. The "S" in Vallonsdoré should be silent. Though the way you pronounced the "R" is perfect, are you Dutch? The more accurate way of naming the town should have been Vallons Dorés (plural, all silent "S") or Vallon Doré (singular).

Really cool, loved this build, very nice break from the regular series. One note though, I don’t think you needed that off-ramp before the roundabout in the beginning, there’s an extra node in the roundabout entrance that is making the cars stop without needing, hence the queue

@TamaraWiens Жыл бұрын

I think that there may also be an issue with the intersection settings in the roundabout - the TMPE automatic settings for roundabouts work pretty well.

@KennethThys Жыл бұрын

@@TamaraWiens that was the first thing i was thinking... Why are all the cars stopping???

@TamaraWiens Жыл бұрын

@@KennethThys the extra node will do that - it's a common issue in C:S, and you will see builders like two dollars twenty or City Planner Plays commenting about, and removing, the extra node when they have similar traffic issues.

Something different! - can't help but feel that I should have incorporated the river and gorge a little more in this build, but with this amount of detailing and wanting to fit it into one video, I had to stop at some point - can always do more detailing I would REALLY appreciate a Like and a Comment If you want to support me beyond KZfaq - and get early access to videoes such as this one - check out my Patreon: www.patreon.com/infrastructurist I just need 4000 1$ patrons to go fulltime Asset/mod collection in the description (although as I mention in the video it's not exactly a carefully curated collection - I just added some euro stuff on top of the Coniferia collection more or less) Hope you're all having a wonderful Sunday!

@mimikal7548 Жыл бұрын

The problem with the roundabout didn't require a passing lane. Traffic manager was just misconfigured on that one connection - cars were stopping completely and waiting for the "intersection" to clear before entering, this isn't how a roundabout is supposed to work, and the configuration was done correctly for the other roads (hence no backing up). It was just a case of fixing the configuration. A roundabout like that is sufficient to handle a medium volume of traffic.

@QemeH Жыл бұрын

I‘m sorry, my inner Monk can’t handle the triangle intersection… Cars driving out of town have to cross over the inbound lane to then queue on the left side, even when the want to go right. That is a recipe for head-on collisions. You should reverse both of the stubby one-way legs of the triangle. Other than that, this is an amazing build and I am in awe how much you can archive with minimal mod usage. Really beautiful.

I grew up in a medieval French village in south of France (Lozère) and I can confidently say that you absolutely nailed the style. That's the best village looking city skyline video I ever saw! Congratulation! A few side notes though 1. Don't hesitate to include small irregularities and dead end (cul-de-sac) in your residential blocks. In this kind of villages, nothing is aligned and we never have full square without a small "passage" for pedestrian to access one or two houses. For example, at 17:34, instead of filling this small gap, I would have added a house down the path. 2. Villages of few hundreds inhabitants tends to have their own cemetery, separated from the church, and definitely not in the center of the village. Back at the time, the plague forced people to burry bodies far away from the village to avoid contamination. Instead, the surroundings of the church is often an empty space where events are held such as the weekly market, weddings or local festivals. 3. The red parking space and small triangles does not exist in south Europe

Wow Infra, just when I thought your builds couldn't get any more perfect.. Such a stunning and cozy little village. Book me a flat by the river! 😎 I know you'll probably not continue this as a series so you don't mind the functionality, but probably my only suggestion would be to add the service blocks to some of the houses to turn them into commercial (cafés, restaurants, grocery shops) and maybe offices too (lawyer, town council, etc.) And maybe the slip lane around the roundabout was not necessary as someone pointed out. Anyway, hoping to return to this lovely town soon, as much as I hope to see the next episode of Coniferia, which has become my favourite CS series!

Brilliant mate, just a couple of suggestions - turn local traffic on so nobody uses the village as a cut through, in my area you would get villages along the main road every 5-10 miles with one or two major towns. Most villages have a pub, one shop and a post office

I’d say you succeeded. Id say Tuscany because it feel like old merchant wealth from the 1300-1400s period with the interesting merchant society. But the houses are abit too solid for tuscany, so maybe Bavarians or Swiss catholics who fled in the late 1400s-1500 had a big influence on the architectural style.

Looks pretty! I think you mixed North French and Southern French a bit too much in terms of architecture though.. The church for example is more Spanish or Italian which would make it fit for far Southern French towns but the houses and the surrounding nature is more Normandy or just rural North to center France.

It looks nice, but nothing like a typical German village at least. Of course, depending on the region in Germany the building styles, materials and the village layouts differ strongly, but pretty much all of them feature farms, normally a dense cluster of very old buildings in the center and a sprawl of new single-family houses in the periphery. Definitely a cemetery and usually a factory or company of some sorts, where the people work. How should they earn cash otherwise? Also, normally every house features a garage and garden. There should be playgrounds, at least one soccer field and a sports/event hall. This build looks like a typical slice of a residential area in an older German city though. Like Stuttgart or Munich.
