James: Can you believe it's been three weeks? Husband from other room: I can. I haven't stopped hearing about it.

It’s okay that you took a break, don’t burn yourself out! Love this series!

I really like how the city is coming along. Here are my two cents Beach-it can be a long beach with hotels and park rides like the Ferris wheel. Like a blend of a resort and a boardwalk. Train-can lines not go underground? Usually, the commuting trains that I’ve seen are either underground, suspended above ground to not interrupt traffic, or travel alongside roads and not intersect like that frater line that’s semi visible going through the city. University-maybe you can take the back road and make it go underground so you can expand the campus up till the park. This could also create a link between the two so that, story wise, students can go to the nature park to destress after class. Mall-that area looks like a shopping plaza. These places can be pretty big, usually they have parking in the middle and stores surrounding the parking area. Keep up the good work. I love seeing how the city grows and evolve.

The panda Sanctuary should go next to the Zoo unique building. Also you can put the Bird & Bee Haven & the Lungs of the City all in the cultural area

Oh I have a good place for a trade school university or just an university... At 1:16:17 in the top right or northeast of the shopping mall section there's a hill.. That's where I think would a great place for one...

i guess we're waiting three weeks again

Poor BOB gets too much crap he’s trying his best.

Checking everyday and hoping for more content for this series ☺️

I love this series so much! One suggestion though, instead of the expo center why not have the aquarium there instead since it backs up onto the water.

I always love the end result but watching James' train of thought and the whole process behind his madness is scary.

The mall burning up at the end has to be the funniest thing I have watched all year xD

it used to be once every 2 days, then it was once every 5 days, then once a week, now its once evry 3-4 weeks :)

James stop leaving me on edge without more parts! I wish for part 26 this series is so relaxing after a stressful day.

i miss this series :(

i didn’t realise i was missing this series so much but i just had a dream there was a new episode and was so excited i woke up 😳

How about making a theatre district (Broadway/went end kinda) in the city? I don’t know if it would even be possible or if there’s enough theatre buildings to make it, but it would definitely be a cool addition to the city!

Just what I needed for my lunch break! :D

keep the "haunted mansions" as long as possible. someday you can make it a tourist attraction park

Great to see you back

It's gonna be another 3 weeks again lol

Flabaliki has left us hanging again

Mansion Hill needs to become a haunted mansion! 👻🪦

I'm so happy we have another episode, I was hoping we would get one this week! Love the mall, and the new residential area is looking good too. I think you're right in that it shouldn't get taller, so hopefully you can get the mod that allows you to make whole districts historical.

I’m excited for the new shopping mall, I think I might go check it out tomorrow… Is what a person who lives in the city would say.

i think the track that doesn’t stop at the station should be an express track for the regional connections

remember when this series had a three day a week upload schedule 😂🤌🏻

Behind and catching up on the series. I love that as of the beginning, the corpses in the mansion are still rotting, after how many decades now? Lol. So curious to see if they'll still be there by the end of this episode. Placing my bets!

Finally, my favorite series cameback!! Love you james

Man the last 30 seconds are really something.. From relaxed to PANIC to ah, it'll be fine. :D

its been 3 months already!

Love that the train line is exposed! There's so many areas in the US that have train lines running above ground essentially through town but people never notice them. Also looking forward to the tapering off of density ultimately to huge neighborhoods of large homes on large lots and cul-de-sacs that aren't gridded.

Thank you so much for getting me interested in Cities: Skylines again!

I was dying laughing at the end when you werent realising the mall was burning

The haunted mansions on top of the hills are now a historical landmark 👻

Okay James has gone from posting everyday to posting on once a blue moon! Hope everything is well on your end buddy and hoping to see the next video soon

I've been binge watching this series all week as I have COVID and I just wanna say thank you James for being a real source of comfort through some really rough days, I hope you're doing well and looking after yourself - we appreciate you so much 💜

I'm soo happy that there's a new episode, great to see you back James :) just take the time you need, but then please come back 😂

1 hour building a mall... fire destroys it in 5 minutes...

james!! its so good to have you back :) i think the most interesting tram switchback in sf is the beach street and hyde street stop, if you needed something to take inspiration from! you definitely have space for a similar park and such on the coastline :)

I’ve binged all of these episodes over the last couple weeks and I’m finally caught up. I’ve been dying to say (and yelling at my screen) that the cargo port and cargo train line should go in the same area that James has been planning to put the airport. It makes a lot of sense for them to be near each other and the original industrial area. Plus the little peninsula that sticks out would help hide the port from other parts of the city

Please don’t develop along the riverways too much. I really want to see a bunch of tiny hillbilly communities only accessible by dirt road and ferries.

Ive been binge watching this series, its really been helping me get through the boring days at my internship, I didn't even realize that this was the last episode!!! I hope you're doing well man and I hope you come back soon for more parts! :)

Miss ya James! Take care and come back... please lmao

The mall burning in the background made my day 😂 thanks for the episode James!

You can put so many big box stores by that mall. ALL THE SHOPPING JAMES. ALL. OF. IT.

It’s been 4 weeks what is going on James!

when new episode?

had a thought for the new residential area, especially since zoning it builds a lot of the same buildings anyway: what if part of it was like an housing development where all of the buildings were the same on purpose? i'm thinking like stuy town in NYC where the buildings are kind of spaced out and there's lots of greenery around them

The happiness I felt when seeing you upload a new city skylines video 😍 also for inspo for your shopping mall, please see The Metrocentre in Gateshead, UK!!! I love relaxing episodes like this

"NO NOT THE MALL!!! ALL MY HARD WORK!" This is golden. Edit: 1:17:13

I love this series! This city has come so far.

LOL when the mall went up in flames

Hey James, hope you're doing okay. Been really missing this series of yours. I understand if you're feeling a bit burnt out on the game ofc tho

You could place the Sydney harbor bridge by the carnival area and coit tower to replace the weird 2 lane narrow bridge .

I love this series! So laid back.

Glad to see you back on! :D I caught up from episode one till 24 in the meantime, haha. Take all the time you need, this series is for your enjoyment too :D

Miss this series so much! Do you think you'll ever come back to it?

Welcome back! Thanks for the video,

New to this series, thanks recommendation! Excited to watch all of the episodes, love your play style.

Have been waiting this vidéo for 3 weeks !! Cool :)

James, I can't believe it's been two months 🙈

Glad this is back, but also good that you took a break when you needed it! Still really enjoying this series.

Yeah! That's so awesome! I really look forward to the fully detailed culture hub and the cargo harbour! :)

Omg I’m crying, I’ve been waiting for this episode! I’m glad your back James!

Always worth the wait for your videos!! Edit: Amusement Park on the beach? I can't remember if you've done it before, or if ConflictNerd did it, but it looks super cool!

You laughed when you talked about a hotel near a walmart but honestly there are a ton of hotels near the walmart in my town and in a bunch of the towns i've visited around the US

so glad this series is back

Yay!! Just woke up, and my day is already looking good 😃

REALLY EXCITED THAT YOU'RE BACK! I REALLY LOVE THIS SERIES!

Welcome back. Hope all is well and you are rested and relaxed. You may want to think about moving the freight station by the oil industry off the main road. You could make a small access road that runs parallel with the main road in front of the station. This could help keep traffic flowing on the main road as the trucks pulling in and out of the station will slow traffic. You might also want to consider more lanes on that main oil industry road so you can have dedicated turning lanes. (Or at least asymmetrical roads)

Where the street goes down into the parking lots by the expo and museum you could have that also enter into a large boardwalk you could do with like shops and stuff. Similar to what you did with the beach earlier but maybe more with a summer beach vibe like volleyball and surf shops and could do a small amusement park on the boardwalk like in Santa Monica and Ocean City.

The city is looking AMAZING! Keep it up :)

its been 3 months and i still check daily for updates.. does anyone have any updates on this series at all?

I really love that your videos are always at least an hour long - if not a little longer. I don't mind the wait between episodes because I feel you make it up with longer videos. 🤩

Yay glad this series is back!

I was starving for a new video! Great job again

So Glad youre back!

‼️SPOILER‼️I’m glad the picture for the episode didn’t reveal the mall’s fate. Be sure to watch the whole episode!

i really hope you enjoyed your time off! Is glad to see you back!

Maybe you should download the elevator asset to avoid people flying to the overpass

Yayyy!! I’ve been waiting for this one

I'm so glad to see that your back and you're all well! ❤️❤️

So glad you’re back to play city skylines!

Hope you had a great holiday! So excited to see a new episode! Can't wait for the cargo district!

Well guys… we’ve been abandoned again. 😭

I don't mind how long I have to wait for this quality content ❤ take your time

I have been looking forward to this episode since the notification the other day and this whole video is so good. Congratulations on your new milestone !! I love the way the train line and highway flows through the city. It doesn't only look good, it works!! Just like the big tram stops downtown, they are awesome. I wonder whether the lack of tourist in your city has something to do with the disconnected intercity train. I feel like the questionable space elevator is a very James-thing to add in, but I'm sure many tourist will also be able to eventually get there once you are able to bring in PLANES!! ♥ How about a runway along the beach? ;)

Yes! Finally! Flabs' three weeks is too long. 😄😉Thanks for the great and relaxing content! Sending love from Switzerland.

Finallyyyyy a new episode! Excited :)

In the town I grew up in the crematorium was behind the main park and leisure centre and opposite the youth club 😂

Thought of some lore to help with the zoo on that mini mountain by Bedford. I'm thinking the whole area around it was originally intended as a settlement in honour of the Dukes of Bedford. So you'd have the Russell Estate on Mt Bedford surrounded by districts named for their lesser titles: Marquess of Tavistock, Earl of Bedford, Baron Russell, Baron Russell of Thornhaugh, and Baron Howland. Things got started off then the money fell through, land was sold for the railway, then the Government built a highway through part of it cutting off Bedford coast, etc etc, and now it's all part of Bowser Bay City and Russell Estate is now a zoo.

Checks subscriptions......................no Flabaliki............GOD DAMN IT!!!

I miss this so much

Welcome back James! =3 Missed ya.

Can't wait for the next episode!

you could probably reduce the funding youre spending on the university since it is probably already upgraded, and it can start making you money instead of costing you money

idk feels kinda shit to be left hanging like that. I dont mind some waiting but 2 month without hearing anything just feels like city skylines viewers dont matter.

Finalmente eu não aguentava mais esperar James 😞

26:30 - might I recommend making that whole track section elevated? I think it would make sense for the tracks to stay elevated leaving the central station until they reach the outskirts of the city, and it would keep you from having to do funky slope stuff, anddd it would allow for the districts between the highway and the sea to be continuous (if you use vanilla elevated track styles) as opposed to having the beachfront district, then the rails, then one super skinny district between the rails and the highway. I personally would say the highway should be elevated as well as it leaves the big interchange, such that it would allow for easier connections to the inland areas, but that’s just me. Great to have you back!!

happy 2 months anniversary
