Wow I'm definitely going to try that aquaduct train bridge

Do you plan on building a Presidente Vargas Avenue inspired road? Oh boy would I love to see that 🤩 By the way, you mentioned the "aquaduct" looks like an abandoned railroad. Actually, it is a tram line called the Bonde de Santa Teresa. It's technically a public transit line, except it's mostly used by tourists rather than for actually getting people around the city!

👍

Love the build and train bridge ❤ keep it up

You’re on to something for sure. Looks great 🔥

Would be great to have an ability to change the season of the trees so it stays green.

This is basically the Philippines if there weren't Filipinos

I struggle with height maps also because its been a real struggle getting free data for the UK, after weeks and weeks of searching i have found only one site and that requires a pass to access, which requires your card details, even though it is free, which im not willing to do, so im making my own recreation of my home town by hand and its so far relatively easy by using Image overlay mod and then placing a 4096x4096 image of topographic map and a street map, took a little fiddling getting them both lined up but once i did i put them in the correct folder and then used the mod to overlay the images on the map

Where did you get the new tile textures at 13:57

Hello, I am sorry but what is the mod you use to remove the demand of zoning, water, etc. because i do not seem to find one 😭😭😭 ah and what is the other mod you used to remove parts of the buildings? Sorry for asking too much lol

Seriously good job here dude!!! Some 1st class imagination.

As a Brazilian myself and some that used to live in Rio I can say for sure this is some amazing work. Congratulations.

Hey man, love your work and i was wondering if it's possible for you to create a Zip file downolad of this map please.

🔥

This is great! You can use network hedges tho!! To save yourself some sanity

Also I think a running line over the aqueduct would make for such amazing shots, like the trams going over the bridge in Porto

wow, your ability to cobble together an aqueduct out of chimneys is amazing

Neat build! I’m going to vote for the running line

Brazil has a very distinctive style of graffiti called Pixaçāo which I think would look great and really help sell the authenticity.

can you send me that map theme??

You really do be cooking

brasilian here ´´paulo´´ is pronounced like ´´Powl-o´´like owl ok? peace

In real life that tram actually functions and it is beautiful as it takes you from the bottom of hill up until the higher end, where favelas start to pop up. The name of the line is called Santa Teresa Tram and their trams are beautiful. Should definitely check it out for inspiration.

anyone looking for a "favela" esque build check out Todos Santos! its Not Rio but it's the carribean

Not interested about CS2 at all. Too bad we've lost you also. Best of luck with your channel

2 episodes in and you're already doing crazy things! The build is looking amazing and unique, can't wait for more episodes! Watching the train pull in, do the platforms need to be extended a little bit?

Great work as always. The bridge especially

It's amazing!!! I need mooore!😂❤️

It's so interesting to see, how you take the lack of assets, mods like PO and so on as challenge. I mean: chimneys as bridge arches! 😂 And it works. Cudos to your creativity!

That's looking amazing, DH! I'm glad you liked the tips! It's certainly looking MUCH more like Rio de Janeiro now, and I'm super happy you added the wavy pattern to the beachside pathways, they are super iconic IRL as well. You're really doing a great job despite the limited assets we have in the game - the 'old town' bit looks lovely with the mediterranean houses, and the beach is certainly right for a brazilian city now (you even got a little beach soccer field there, hooray!) The aqueduct IRL has become a tram line, maybe that could be easier for you to implement since trams don't require huge stations in game. The only remaining tip I have is to add more trees to the sidewalks, specially in the high density areas. I know it will hide a bit of your superb detailing work, but it will be worth it to give the city a look that's quite different to north american metropolises

So much character in the city already buddy, the old town is perfect! And great innovation on the aquaduct too.. just one thing, don’t forget about the network fencing/NetTool, you were using the prop line tool instead 👍

Good stuff! Isn't there an actual botanical garden asset in the game?

👍

Check the small greenhouse props (not the large industrial extractors). they have a door and look a bit like a glass entrance wall. Other props that cna be uses as doors are outhouses and some rooftop accesses. or you check some small 2x4 commercial or office buildings that you can can move halfway into the station to make an entrance hall

Hey! I am from Rio! Great vid. The arcos da lapa were an acqueduct, but then became a bridge to a tram system that is still being used to this day.

Honestly you really are one of the best builders. I didn't think you could make stuff like this in Cities: Skylines 2 so it's really quite impressive. The old town really has a unique character that isn't like anything else from what I've seen.

Don't know the English name for the end of line stoppers, but they are a security asset, so better not bulldoze it.

Yeah... um... wow. That viaduct!? Bonkers stuff. Your stops _should_ work as long as the line is linked to the stop itself and not just a waypoint. You just need the interest like for any "regular" line. So, how you going to do the Cristo Redentor? With snowmen and chimneys? LOL

5:10 it's called Arcos da Lapa. The streetcars still work. Both Lapa and the neighborhood next to Central do Brasil (the train station), called Gamboa, are places related to the creation of Samba and Rio's night life. Next to Gamboa, in the old port, the Saúde neighborhood is were samba was invented. Those are some of the oldest places in Rio and have strong relations to Rio's East African ancestry. Lapa is a legendary bohemian spot in Rio. Lot's of bars, some brothels and a place for shows called Circo Voador. Rio is really harsh with elevation changes and I think you are doing a great job with it. Thx for sharing! Also, one thing about Rio is colonial Iberic buildings and the tall buildings have large windows, to get lots of air flowing (it's hot AF) and sun light. About Copacabana beach: There are TONS of things and pedestrian activity in the, very large, sand strip. The gardening and tiling were made by Burle Marx. It's very different, he is a genius.

I can't tell the difference of this is a game or reality

👍I'm diggn the name, gives off a good vibe -- (x but needs more gorgeous women (C'mon, it's BRAZIL! x) You ever think/thought of replicating the favelas (break your pc & brain) *curious to see Rio Paulo's city lights & nightlife

I haven't been near CS for over a year now due to all the changes and negativity over CS2, and the fact that I had been at it for years. It was time for a break. 😴 This video has definitely lit a little spark and ignited my creativity once more, my friend. You inspired many of my old builds. I'm glad to have your enthusiasm back in my life. 💡🔥

I don't believe these places really exist in real life. 😭

Great to see you back posting, really enjoyed your Venice series was waiting eagerly for your next project

it's so cool that the vanilla props and buildings are so high-quality 👀

Por favor ajeita aquela montanha... faz mais parecida com o "pão de açúcar"! Do jeito que tá agora, tá muito estranho. Mas fora isso tô amando. Continua!! Beijos do Brasil!❤

@DH - Hello from a new subscriber .. would be great if you could do a quick video showing how and where you placed your custom textures .. thanks and nice to have your content :)

I love your builds. But man, it seems you sold your soul to Paradox when prising this CS-2 shit game so much, hahaha. I hope you took a lot of money ( and I'm happy if you did ) from Paradox's pockets to promote this shity 2006 game. CS-2 is ugly, even uglier than (not-modded) base CS-1, performance is shit, gameplay is just a shell of what the full game will eventually be after milking us for the next 10 years with overpriced 100 DLC's. And even with 100 DLC's, it will still be a shit game without a HUGE modding community who will again save the game with 1000 assets and awesome mods, like it was the case with CS-1. Greed is ruining modern gaming. Give customers as little as you can, and charge every little bit of improvement as much as you can (DLC's). Modders will fix your boring game anyway and for FREE. Hate Paradox and most AAA developers.

Very neat marina and pier there! For that scrub stuff you were after check A$2.20's technique for dropping bushes and the like into the earth and just using their tops. Bonkers but it works a beaut! Very much looking forward to seeing where this build goes...

first cities skylines video i’ve watched in a while, like since 2 came out and i felt very burned by it lol. nice to see what you can do in this game with decoration, though i’m more than content to watch you do it lmao
