Keep the lonely tree in the campus as an hommage

James: We need 15,000 people! Also James IMMEDIATELY after saying that: Anyway this place should be commercial.

Tip: Offices are the best noise reducer, so mix office and commercial near train stations.

You might have done so, but you probably want to enable the sports related policies in the policy manager. It increases the win rate significantly so your stadiums might actually make a profit.

Id love to see some mansions in the hills, and dedicated green housing zone somewhere.

What if there was an old, defunct train line that continues straight after crossing the river. Now it’s a bike/walking trail that connects Myrtle to Bedford Square and the Stadiums?

Since you're keeping the High Heights name for the district, name another district "Low Lows"

There is a really good small rectangular skatepark on the workshop, it's called small skatepark. It would look great in the city. There is also a small city playground called tiny alley/playground. I use them both myself and haven't encountered any problems.

You could put mansions up in the hills where it outlooks over the city and keep the back part closer to the beach by the barracks thing open and make a national park or something. Think it could be cool

These videos give me something to look forward to all week long!! This is my favorite city by far

I love how urban suburban this new neighbourhood looks! Also, I live beside a dog park and I love it! I can just dogwatch the whole day- what in my books, it is pretty incredible - and not so loud, not as loud as a playground at least.

I love these long episodes, james. 09:00 for the chirper, "hide it!" 14:00 there's a mod called "historical districts," which allows you to, well, historical-ise whole districts. 44:30 there's always that one obnoxious building in an otherwise normal area irl, so I think it's realistic. 1:00:00 you could use some ivy props on the quay, so the buildings don't have a view of concrete/brick. 1:01:00 blah la la la la laaa. lol. generally, park zones are better imo, they actually generate income, and have a wide area of effect. same with industry and university zones.

At like 24:15 did anyone else see that car drive through the train tracks to get to the parking spot?😂 loving these videos James!

You should name a district on top of a hill “low lowets” and it can be the sister district to high heights!

Just found this series, binge watched everything until now it in 2 days. 1) I liked the idea of a very small high density area at the coast (like the one next to Bedford that was immediately destroyed). I see wierd zone rules in real life that has those harsh shifts from one type to the next. 2) Noone would object to you, using the build-in assets, like the dam. 3) Until you make the real university, maybe put in some of the old-school single building ones. Right now you rely on highly educated ppl moving in. 4) Beware of only having the current industry area - it makes everyone downtown commute through the initial area. Altho it seems manageable right now.

When you build a sunken road or railway and need a bridge over it at ground level, don't use a bridge! Instead, turn a small section of the sunken road into a tunnel. Just a tiny part right at the edge of the ground level road. It will look much nicer and you won't have a long road section of bridge on ground level which is not only ugly but also breaks the landscape on ground because bridges are supposed to be in air only.

Myrtle was also an area in the previous city. What if you call this one New Myrtle or something?

Been waiting all day! I am unhealthily obsessed with this series XD

Hey I said it under the last video. Just for the realism, the two football(soccer) fields could need some high fence or net between them. If you shoot on one goal and miss the ball lands in the other field. :) looks amazing

It would be sweet if you spend a little more time in the parks because as parks level up, new content opens up. But the city's parks are extremely empty.

Most sports things are in the medical tab

Would a ferry stop by Myrtle joining the other ferry stops be useful? I’d imagine perhaps when the university is done, it could help and just look nice utilising the river.

Love how calming and easy these videos are. To possibly help with traffic, I would make many more things accessible by footpath, and by bike paths.

if you turn on dynamic lane selection in TM:PE then thay should use more lanes instead of piling into one if there are more than one to use

hey james can you do first person on your train line from one side to the other to see what it looks like

I didn’t know Woolworth was still a thing…I remember one in Denver as a kid, but it was more like a Walgreens but without the pharmacy…maybe more like a big lots without furniture

I am looking forward for the financial district to being built. Today’s episode was amazing!

A tightly compacted “lower middle class” type neighborhood would be good on that island on the opposite side of the industry section. It could almost be like those neighborhoods that big industries build for their workers. You’ll get a good amount of people and workers in and it will be very realistic as well.

Oh gosh I'm just dying to see more residential demand to be fulfilled while you keep being distracted by other stuff! Hahahaha

Loving the development of the rail infrastructure

Ah Melbourne trams.... That brings back memories. Back in 2012 I flew half way around the world to visit a friend and spent a week in Melbourne. It was a fun week.

Your map already has a custom cargo line that heads up the river over to that industrial area.

I love that a bus runs through the sport tollbooth 😂 Maybe a small street that loops in front of the tollbooth that can drop off people and then turn around, without going through the toll?

You should add a passenger station near industry zone. It will reduce traffic.

The Eco-Friendly residential that comes with Green Cities have some cool looking apartments. If you place them manually you can mix them in. Looking good, I liked the parking at the train station, it did actually look like part of the asset 👍 Ooh what about the Content Creator quay in that height change area, there's one with stairs between the lower level and the top 👀

Just found these. First time watching this game after watching James since quarantine on Sims. This game looks amazing

I had a look at the water/power stuff this map comes with. I kindda like it. I think you should connect it. I know you liked the challenge initially, but this point it hardly matters.

For the whole episode I thought about a tram line between the new rail station and the stadium - and then you put in a bus, expecting it to be really busy. Maybe a tram would be really better but running more straight than your bus is doing - with smaller circulator busses supporting it and adding coverage to the network. The new tram could interline with the old one along the dedicated tracks in stadium district - as it also connects to the train line passengers would be redirected and you need less vehicles for the (non-dedicated) downtown section of the tram network.

It's going to look so sick when the Myrtle area is fully zoned in, all that empty space really stood out like a sore thumb.

it really is coming together beautifully! Also, I do enjoy timelapses a lot, always happy to see you build ^^

Someone should make a drinking game where you drink everytime James is looking for the tennis court or basketball court 😂

The train going by the back of the apartment, gives me some Osaka vibes

34:39 , you need to change the phases on that timed traffic light. Traffic going to the stadiums only gets a green light for a few seconds

The big car factory would look really cool in the open space between the intersections. The part where you were gonna do ”industry”.

For anyone want this game, its free in the epic games store this week only, so if you want to get it, go to epic games and download ir for free for this week only!

you should a massive shipping canal to go from the ocean to the steel factory. That is totally something that would be done in real life

Chirper annoys me too haha but he’s a cute little birdy at the same time.

“They are supposed to give way but they just don’t care” - not just the drivers leaving Myrtle but also all drivers near me. 😂

Thank you for this series! Literally wait all day for them at the moment. Think the city is coming along well and maybe there should be a mansion bit further along the beach from the main downtown with its own station and some beachfront ones have their own private beaches or something, just separated by nice fencing and large palm lined streets

james, you forgot to place warehouses for the unique factories

You need to add more corner stores around! I'd hate to walk all the way across my neighbourhood just to get milk or something

i love the hideous tall pink building on the hill, it feels like a building that they thought was a great idea in the 20s or 30s but now all the locals hate it

I have a cool idea for a addition, you could add a racetrack somewhere!

James, please keep making these videos forever! I love them, its so relaxing!

James: "We can have 15,000 more people before we need one more workplace" litterally the next second: "I feel like this area should be commercial" exactly my humor 😂😂🤣🤣

are you ok james? give us a sign of life

I wish the UK would get woolworths back. Miss going in there.

Love this series aswell. Great job! Adding child & eldercare could help increase the population. Or have i just missed where you have placed them?

I love this series, I missed Flabaliki's cities. Great work James!

When we expand we should have like a low income city with like a motel strip with diners and bars ext...

You could add some commercial or tourism/entertainment buildings in the sports arena area. This would help keep the trams useful when games are not going on. Also, there could be more tourism/entertainment both scattered throughout the city amd in dedicated areas (large or small). I would be very bored in this town with the lack of nightclubs and fine dining. Shake Shacks are great but every once in a while I wamt something besides a burger and shake, like maybe a steak.

i love looking at you doing lane markings, please keep those in!

By the TV Station (here in the states they also do weather), you should add a Weather Radar :) I'd also look into raising prices on your tolls, and add some on the express way. How are your police departments, etc near Myrtle? Keep up the great content :) I LOVE these long episodes!

At 20:18 the train station was turned off, obviously it's not gonna have any people in 😅😂

If you put an old town policy on the second 4lane road at 5:05 then it could balance it out in a way that works best for the cims.

I feel sorry for the pedestrians who have to walk up and over that 6 stories tall bridge.

I'm absolutely loving this series. Your playstyle and commentary are always enjoyable

I know this is a very very minor nitpick, but it's been bugging me :D: The Stadiums district being called just "Stadium" when it can be like "The Olympic Village" or something like that :DDD.

You should change the name of Bedford Square to Bedford Falls.

Yay! I’ve been refreshing my subs so often today waiting for a new skylines vid!

idk if anyone has suggested this but petition to rename the sports teams from the Bowser Bay Buccaneers to the Bowser Bay Bigwallets~

Have you considered using an empty platform in the train station and put a light rail track on top in stead, connecting to these neighbourhoods on the other side of the city? Would get rid of at least 1 stub end.

the trains are meant to have 4 cars not 3 so if you turn off the rear cab in the vehicle options it may hold more people so you don't need to add another train

Should make the hill between the two dense suburbs a park and call it 'Kite Height Park' cause they'd be great hills to fly kites with a view.

Im loving that you just feed us with your content. I missed your videos during your break!

I think in the downtown area grass spots like under the rails @8:43 or in front of that building 'the plaza' should be more filled in concrete, instead of that default in-game ugly grass and sand... And also you're so focused on placing buildings manually , which is great, to put services like a police- / firestation in

15:04 reminds me of ConflictNerd getting Park Park Industrial Park as an auto generated district name

checkout the barges mod, it let you create cargo routes by rivers or sea, using the ferry's path. Awesome video

You should do the university soon so that you get more skilled workers in your city, which will help with the commercial and industry needs!

I love your modern/gentrified district by the train station! 😂

James: We're losing a lot of money Me: *blinks* Uhmmm, at least you don't go bankrupt literally everytime you start a new game? this game is so hard! But i love it!

We do hate that building @44:00 :D

build the campus next episode!!

I am loving this series so much.

Distrect Idea! You should build districts "inspired" by each world in the Sims 4. So maybe a beach front named Sulani, a farm area named Henford on Bagly, etc.

You should look into the realistc population mod. It should make it possible to change the number of residents in apartments to a more realistic number

You should get an Olive Garden off the workshop and put it by the park

super fun 2 watch, mainly i watch biffa also doing lets plays of this game but james is so much more interesting

I’m about 30 mins in so idk if he fixes it but people are having to walk thru the car wash on the corner to get up the hill. Maybe he fixes it by the end of vid, I just didn’t want to forget. Look forward to these every M W F!

I saw Biffa use a mod to "force downgrade" on buildings he liked the look of but kept complaining about land value. Idk what it was tho!!

It’s very clear that you are being strangled by the fact you don’t have all tiles just unlock them all also that road at 6:04 should be a bridge onto that small island

Will you be playing software inc. Beta?

Mansions along the river would look nice.

I've been waiting all morning:)

youi should use find it to search for things more often, it’ll save you a whole bunch of time lol

Pls more timelapses

Can you put some petrol/gas stations? Or it fully electrical car mod?

Maybe like the perth air port mixed with a transport hub system

James you are such a bad influence. I've now bought another game you got me obsessed with 😂😂😂😂😂

18:40 definitely think that one was better as a back.
