Noob, pro and modder, yet every downtown design is a compact grid with standard 2/4 lane roads? Hello traffic nightmares.

This modder seems to be an advanced noob, a couple of custom assets and almost no detailing.

Who builds a stadium in downtown with bad traffic and no parkinglots as a modder?

Noob: only zones Pro: use mixed zoning and some in-game special buildings Modder: use a crapton of skyscraper assets Ultimate hacker: use plop the growable and find it so he can build the whole downtown with only in-game buildings

umm a pre-noob. 😄 I don't even bother with a downtown.I just keep growing outward, and onward. Once my city gets to 100K+ i've learned enough of the game, that I feel like I have to start over. 😵

This video is honestly just confirmation bias. Shoving a whole bunch of tall buildings/uniques doesn't automatically make a better skyline. Nor does relatively small highrises equate to a bad skyline. Beauty is in the eye of the beholder which is clearly misunderstood in this video.

Oh yh Downtown. I find it so hard to design it right. Modder here 😁

I like how you mix different zone types all within one block

Maybe in next film old town. What do you think about it?

Damn even the modder only places 1 type of the same tree for the entire city, so placing the same tree everywhere is the common link between the noob, the pro and the modder confirmed hehe :P …...

I looked at the poll asking what platform we play on and laughed. There are no playstation players.

These vids are great. I can learn how to plan and detail my cities to make them a little more realistic/interesting. Thanks heaps.

50+mods,1000+assets=my PC burning

Why Tall Unique Buildings work great in Downtowns. The reason people like to use tall uniques is for two reasons. 1) The tall adjective makes them fit better in downtowns because those are almost always where the tallest buildings are. No one puts a 300 meter tall building in the suburbs, because it would be very out of place. 2) Tourists. Unique buildings are tourist/visitor magnets, and unique buildings mixed with zoned buildings, especially offices, creates the whole 'hustle and bustle' vibe that downtowns often give off. Also, more people will take public transit to clusters of unique buildings, which makes it more realistic. As far as roads go, I'd say it's about 85% realistic. I usually use two one-way four lane roads (found in the workshop) right nezt to each other going un opposing directions as a central concourse through downtown. Said usual concourse is great for handling traffic. And two lane roads are also literally all over downtowns, as some people don't realize.

Don't forget that green citys has IT cluster option for offices, which gives tall buildings

between pro and nodded cuz I will mod trees but build buildings one by one that already in game

Definitely a modder, or beyond. But I just set up a building theme with a wide variety of buildings, then I go in and manually place individual assets. I like my central business districts to be incredibly dense.

5:15 NO NO NO NO NO DON’T put a baseball stadium downtown. You’re supposed to place those in the outskirts

There are different types of downtowns. -Small mom and pop shops are located with a chamber of commerce -City/County/State government buildings -Office buildings for major corporations, national banks, and hotels -A mixture of all

so the first skyline looks smaller because the buildings didn't progress beyond stage one. the second one obviously did progress beyond stage one, probably 2 or 3 by that stage. etc. etc. It's not really a skill thing, but a time thing... But hey, I clicked so... win!

Somewhere beetween pro and modder, I'd say.

as a modder i expected you to atleast completely recreate new york with all the correct assets on a perfect 1:1 scale and .... im just joking great video :)

As a ps4 player I really appreciate this video because it shows you how to make a good city without mods Also you should make more of these kind of videos

6:46 uh la laaa😂

Skyscrapers DLC helps so much when making downtown areas

Definitely a modder. My downtowns are significantly more sophisticated.

Vergleich zum letzem Pro Noob Hacker Video sehr gut editiert! Sehr nice

I love that you like to use the Salt Lake City pack of buildings! So many building from my town that I recognized immediately!

Thank you and great detail. However, in Australia, this is completely wrong. We have multiple CBD's (Central Business Districts) throughout Sydney. That is how I build most of my cities as well. Oh, CBD in Australia is your Downtown. Just never ever call it that in Australia :)

Yeah, pre-noob, also like Lisa1162 😅😅. Never thought about downtown. But now I will xD

I'm a modder all the way, at one point I had 124 mods that would enhance my gameplay but I cut it down to about 70 somethin. Nice downtown tho! ^v^

I love these kinds of videos

Ok let's investigate the last layout: - No cycle paths - No public transport or irrelevant (so it seems anyway) - Little road hierarchy (mixing and seperation of fast and slow roads) - Way to many intersections - No roundabouts - Would be extremely dangerous in real life - No pushing high traffic underground - No nice walkable downtown - Boring city center - No compact - Seems like a city without history - Traffic issues all over the place

I think, I'm between pro and modder (however, my cities look like after the war...) 😅 😂

I have watched a lot of these noob vs pro vs modder videos by Imperatur and felt that my creations were just about as good as the 'noob' ones or worse. However, for the first time, I can proudly say that my downtown is much better than all of these 3 downtowns.

4:22 bend pathways for the bendy people 😂😂

The simple fact is a beautiful city takes some work, creativity, and compromise to get right. Also mods are pretty damn indispensable for me, although it is possible to make do without. Biggest thing I've discovered is to give up my obsession with min-maxing land usage. Stop feeling like it's a waste if every last tile doesn't have an oversized max level growable on it, or if a sensible and pleasing road doesn't have a bunch of perfect spots for 4x4 growables. If you let the game do its own thing without taking control and limiting building growth, then you'll end up with an overcrowded, hyper-dense Hong Kong like abomination every time because of how land value works in the game. My urban centers are mix of pretty much all the tools: ploppable RICO for oversized functional assets, landmarks, plopped and random growables for filler, and manually filling in the awkward janky bits with pedestrian paths and green space.

Remember when this channel was all about cities skylines memes?

That dome building is in Louisville KY!

Make a city in 15 min

it was that day when I realized that I was a noob on city: skyline ... thx imperatur ;D

“Pro” 2% traffic flow 🤣

All these downtown designs: Exist Traffic after minute: Allow me to introduce myself

"Which type of player are you?" A pro (although I wouldn't quite use the term "pro", but that's the grading here) who can never get all their mods and assets loaded and working together well enough to become a modder. I'm not talking MoveIt or Traffic Manager but that "modders toolkit" setup that a lot of youtubers seem to have.

I'm a modder. The vanilla game itself is nice but for more realism I tend to use mods for detailing, and without the work of so many Steam Workshop creators I would not have enjoyed the game as much as only playing vanilla.

Me playing cities skylines: I am quite good at this game Me watching these videos: Wow, I suck!

Me honestly, even though I haven’t played Cities Skylines yet, but eventually I will on PS4, I’m between noob and pro when making downtown

For a noob that’s actually impressive!

The noob was so good and you are saying it is bad? The pro was only doing one at a time and he was doing his best! And look New York used to be a small short city but now it is not! So respect the noobs!

Thank you for the new impressions. Will try it as soon as possible.

I like the noob's downtown better than pro and modder (not gonna lie)

You included the tallest building in Louisville, Kentucky, amazing (it’s the dome building)

If skyline is the point, just put a bunch of offices with IT focus and high commerces with tourist focus, no mod needed.

I am a super noob that still straggles with traffic and public transportation lolol.

finally a video where the noob's version seems something achievable

I feel sorry for those baseball players. That’s a big ass diamond...

Noob vs pro vs modder: Traffic

Somewhere between noob and modder, I am. I still have bad SimCity Cites of Tomorrow habits...like min/max space (dense as possible before outward expansion). Challenge mode brings out the SimCity, unlimited brings out the designer, economist, ergonomist, traffic master, Imaginator in me. Challenge mode is a bitch!

I'm a weird combination of Pro and Modder. I use modded assets, but I generally just zone and grow rather than ploping buildings directly. If I do plop buildings they're generally either custom services (generally landmarkafied versions of service buildings, like the Chicago Women's Hospital Rehab Center instead of the vanilla hospital) or landmarks. I don't like to plop growables since I tend to stick to the more management side of things rather than design.

What you are noob, pro, or hacker?

Woo Modder nice ps really good job the last one

I love noob because a downtown city has like 90% of small or row buildings so noon is the best in my opinoin

This is just a grid city. I prefer cities with a more lively pattern of streets.

Green Cities DLC: DONT PUT THAT HIGH COMMERCIAL NEXT TO RESIDENTIAL!!!!!!

I’m not noob, I’m a disaster 😂

Bad Medium Uhh la la Good word choices....

One thing is the pro has the best music

A pro would use less residential zone, build the downtown around a convergence of several transport routes (multiplatform trains, multiple metros, a bus station, etc.), include more open spaces, and use specializations for office (it cluster), and commercial (leisure).

I build how a pro, but with using 67 mods, who am i?

especially with cities skylines it is hard to tell which build is "good" or bad, since it does not have a "right" or "wrong". in some cases e.g. traffic, or fresh water, the game itself punishes the player for being stupid, but especially in look and in the freedom the game gives to build whatever you like, the game is awesome. everyone should play it as he likes, and there is no right or wrong. And to be honest, "hackers" Skyline appearance is more "trololo" than "uuh lala" hacker, and even pro would have prop anarchy on and would be able to build also on buildings. btw, pro and hacker did a crucial mistake (noob also did but hey, he s noob): all of them forgot to rebuild the metro station, without one the downtown is definetly a no-go ;)

pro gamer is building more parkings in downtown. Where people can park car in this downtown. This 3 solution of buidling city are noob vs noob vs noob with mods

Public transport and parked cars also says much about noob vs pro. A pro get the 32k parking vehicles. And 1k people in bus per week and train. A noob waste their 16k vehicles, and ends without services or city burned down

I love these videos. I think next one should be an old town. I'm a console player so a noob. :( Let the buildings in the noob build up and it looks realistic.

Nice video, thanks)))

I don't know, but when I saw your in my recommendation, I'll just like it 😻

I'm the type of player to download a shit ton of assets to make a cyberpunk futuristic downtown with the zoning.

a mix of all 3

Modder? Huh i think you didnt hear about keralis😂😂

I realize the pro put the infinity money mode so the pro still is a modder he is just good at the design

Ngl I like the "noob"'s design, reminds me of my own city, just a small suburb and a reasonably large downtown for its size

If the first one is noob,i dont even know what i am.

I like suburbs more but downtown is a little bit worse.

pro modder : Builds his entire city with Find It and Move It

Noobs city kinda looks great

I can’t blame you to take a « Fortnite » format of video if it make that much views but ok don’t fall into that, it’s so cancerous

Im an ultra noob I’ve played C:S for a while, but still I’ve only made 1 city with a population bigger than 20,000, and that was with Infinite cash and Unlock all milestones on (I play with PS4)

Watching your series noob vs pro vs modder, tbh I am completely a mix player on cities skyline. Certain I’m good at certain things I’m like either a noob or a pro

Modder - real cars (like camaro and volvo police cars). Real Brands (McDonalds, DHL, Fedex, etc...).

According to this, a modder. I wouldn't have thought so myself :)

Part 3 please!

The modded looks good but it kinda takes away from seeing the buildings develop. It would be nice to see what kind of buildings you got after placing some of those high profile buildings. Just my opinion though

That road system is seriously cringy, and residential areas complain about noise when you put them right next to dense commercial buildings. I like that you put in paths, but I really don't like that music.

I'm a noob who has only 2 mods in content manager, unlimited money and unlock all.

For me downtown is basically a business and entertainment hub with some high and expensive residential areas (green dlc area) for specialists and their families, offices (IT cause they're tall), hotels for business trips from outside the city and your other areas such as suburbs, "small towns" with industry, entertainment and "special" buildings and sort of transit hub. I never dezone a square for it. I usually grow my city first and industry in the area. Then i start growing transit hub and downtown around it (offices, entertainment, hotels and high rise landmark buildings in a place which can handle traffic. But i build around industries and people need to get to work somehow and they prefer to work somewhere not too far from their homes. And they need all services and other things. So i usually have several downtown areas. One is huge and other are smaller.

all the residents will die because of noise pollution

I just have a bunch of high rise residential and low rise commercial and I call it a day

I like to spend less time thinking about it so I would just build around a Central Park like New York or big boulevard surrounding landmarks like Paris then generally zones them. Spacing out areas for small parks helped with land value and allow zones to grow into higher level buildings. My only issue is I have to find prettier services buildings to match the look of the area.

majority of modders are noobs with more tools at hand, nothing else! if you can build a functional, beautiful and realistic city in vanilla, that is impressive!

Wow soo cool

forever NOOB.. and still playing.. LOL there was no such thing called DOWNTOWN in my real life country.. every city growing simultaneously without proper planning from the authorities.
