I like using the alley roads as neighborhood roads for low density residential. Removes street parking so they actually park in the driveway, also, in the US, most neighborhood streets are unmarked and typically narrower. I use the marked 2 lane 2 way as collectors, and 4 lane roads as arterials. I tend to only use 6+ lane roads if there are slip lanes or if a highway is terminating into an avenue or vice versa. I also found that smaller lot sizes in low density is better for conforming to terrain. I treat the 6 unit deep lot sizes as the "rich" homes and try to use those sparingly.

This is a very good practice indeed because I find CS 2 maps really difficult in terms of terrain topography. They made much bigger buildings but now the maps are steeper and with less flat areas and the big buildings won't fit well. I do a lot of terraforming in CS 2, luckily it's free. 😁

@Trigger200284 7 ай бұрын

I have had good success just using the 2 way 2 lane standards roads and just being smart about my arterials (4 and 6 lane) and highways as well as putting the odd parking lot here and there. It has worked well for me with a well designed bus system that handles 30-40k people a month and a subway system that I just brought online recently. The only issue i have with traffic is the current AI not using merge lanes and exit ramps properly and it is maddening.

I agree, alley roads in CS2 are generally what American streets look like in suburbs

I also stopped buying large road early on I just buy the highway and do your same road hierarchy

shame you're always forced to use a grid without curved roads otherwise you get weird gaps between buildings

@noxnovaYT 7 ай бұрын

Yes, but that is because the game has only rectangular assets. Besides in real life, you will rarely see new buildings with other corner angles than 90 degrees...

@lobofelipelobo 6 ай бұрын

Grids are necessary to make any project, but there is a problem in the game because of non orthogonal buildings.

for low density houses i usually mix european and north american styles for more variety. They look almost the same

@noxnovaYT 8 ай бұрын

Yes you can do this with low res and high res, but the other categories don't look that similar. Also low rent are the same for both regions.

@seriphyn8935 7 ай бұрын

You should try the EU houses at 2 or 3 units deep only. They fit better in denser areas, seem to be scaled better to other assets, and have a regular house look like how you drew them in pre-school. Consider 6-deep lot is a whopping FOURTY EIGHT METRES deep 😱. That is extremely large for a single family home plot anywhere but very suburban or rural. 2x2, 2x3, 3x3, 3x2 etc. sized SFHs are more appropriate to being within city limits.

@noxnovaYT 7 ай бұрын

Very good points I really appreciate them! Where I live we have like 100 meters deep lots by 20-30 wide 😂 but of course at the countryside. But as you say, in the suburban part of a big city smaller lots fit better to achieve a bigger population density.

I have a question. How can I make people walk more? I have busses and trams that are going to schools and shopping zones. However I feel like everybody from my row houses are using cars to get anywhere.

@noxnovaYT 7 ай бұрын

In Cities Skylines 2 there are a lot of factors that influence the citizens in choosing how they move around the city like their wealth, how busy the roads are at a specific moment, if there are any car accidents along the way, how expensive is the ticket, how much they have to travel from home to station and from the station to their destination or some may just value time over money and use their cars because it’s faster. Also, pay attention to the time of the day, because if you play with the day/night cycle turned off you won’t notice when it’s day or night, and if you check the lines panel and it’s 2:00 AM it’s logic for the lines to be almost empty. At first, that’s what I was doing too and I kept on wondering why nobody was using my lines but I did not notice what time it was actually.

@CadillacFan77 7 ай бұрын

I like your ideas for the medium and high density building, looks great. But the low residential area is somewhat unrealistic, in reality those neighborhoods are not that packed as in your example, nor are the houses that similar in size

@noxnovaYT 7 ай бұрын

Thank you! The problem with the low residential is that even tho there are houses 4 square wide, the chances to get one to spawn are really small and I don't know why. So I guess we are kinda stuck with the 2 and 3 squares wide for now. 🤷

You're best bet is to put the game down and wait 4-6 months, because as your city gets larger, it is unplayable with the CPU loads.

@noxnovaYT 8 ай бұрын

If it still got at least 30 FPS I'd say it's ok. It's not like an action game where you want to have quick reaction times, higher framerates other then interface smoothness in games like these don't matter that much

@Trigger200284 8 ай бұрын

@@noxnovaYT ya i agree, i was even dealing with the like 10-20 fps I was getting because it functioned mostly. But as soon as you start into the 125k-150k persons in the city, there is a behind the scenes calculation slowdown. It starts screwing with a number of things the most evident of which is the traffic, it can take MONTHS of city time for a vehicle to move through the city and my fairly well equipped CPU is chugging to keep traffic moving. It slows down every 5 seconds to a crawl, then speeds back up for a few seconds and then slows to a stop and then rinse and repeat every 5 seconds. It is extremely unoptimized.
