A Realistic American Suburb in Cities Skylines 2 | DDM #30

[@nimashahriari9387]

Just started watching the series since the cargo hub video, and got sad videos finished, but here you are lol

[@cheba_1]

wait, did you finish the playlist just as he uploaded?

[@nimashahriari9387]

@@cheba_1 Yeah I finished the 3000 homes video and clicked on the next video and takes me to the 24th ep, so I click on the channel to make sure there si no more and this one says uploaded 5 minutes ago

[@skilzthatkilz11]

Lol good timing!

[@정민규-b8s]

I know later on you'd expand the suburb but looking of US suburbs, maybe add some golf courses in the middle, with some wealthy houses around it. That's gonna make it look like a real suburb!!

[@skilzthatkilz11]

Ooh yes a few people have mentioned a golf course. Could even call it Mar a Lago and it'd fit the theme haha

[@bradyedwards5832]

Beautiful work! That Urban Promenade pack with the mixed use zoning is awesome! I live in DC and I can attest that the new area you built absolutely screams Alexandria, VA with a slight touch of Arlington. Well done! I would like you to know that I have been watching Infrastructurist here on YT since CSII came out. The algorithm brought me to you a few months back and I am so grateful. You deserve more than 7k subs as I think your videos are on par with the two giants of this genre, Infratsrutcturist & City Planner Plays. Keep going and it will pay off! If and when you do the name change, please consider launching a Patreon and/or YT channel memberships. We want to pay you for the entertaining yet relaxing video content! As for the build itself, you have been talking about a revamp of the bus sytem since you built the international district, I think. Maybe it is time now? It may also be time to start thinking about expanding the streetcar/tram/lightrail network. But, maybe that won't make sense until after you get to doing the new downtown.

[@skilzthatkilz11]

Aw thanks @Skotbot! Yes a transit episode is incoming! I had to do a little research on how bus routes are planned in the real world haha. And I appreciate the thought around patreon/yt memberships! TBH I'm not sure how I feel about asking for memberships yet (YT ad revenue aside). I'm just having fun with it, and I'm glad people find enjoyment in it too. Maybe someday if it lets me dedicate more time to the channel. But at the risk of sounding corny, right now, seeing the community respond is good enough for me :) And getting those sweet sweet aerial shots of the city.

[@kezew]

I love Dewy del Mar series!!!! I think you should maybe add an airport, even if it's just the regional one it would be a great addition to the city!

[@skilzthatkilz11]

Totally, I think I'd like to get more touristy areas first because my tourist population is non existent, but yes this is on my radar!

[@kezew]

@@skilzthatkilz11 Also do you have any tips for building a realistic city? I was thinking to base it off the city of Spokane

[@Arshvir97]

your videos are so high quality and I don't understand how you have just 7k followers.Keep it up bro❤

[@skilzthatkilz11]

Thanks man 🙂 I plan to! It's a blast

[@Arshvir97]

@@skilzthatkilz11 I don't know how can you edit those vids and film and plan and play along with personal life and work this sounds impossible

[@highground66]

I love this series so much.Love how your vids are dividen into segments and your attention to detail. Was waiting so long ^^

[@skilzthatkilz11]

Thanks! I appreciate that!

[@amanwo89]

Your videos are like therapy, thank you. As a structural engineer though, every time I see the Lake Street Bridge something about it irks me. I can't put my finger on it, but I think the bridge towers are too close together. Seems like there are enough supports, but maybe the towers themselves don't make sense if it is meant to be a suspension/ cable stay bridge. Anyway, feel free to ignore.

[@skilzthatkilz11]

Probably because they're pillars from the 4 lane highway bridge haha. They definitely dwarf that road a bit, I think spacing them out is a good idea

[@정민규-b8s]

Buddy I was waiting for the new video for days😭😭 Thank you finally

[@theorixlux]

25:37 The two-lane highway from Little Ortizia (Elizabeth highway) can't turn right onto Aspen highway because the angle is too sharp. A right turn slip lane would fix that.

[@skilzthatkilz11]

Ah good catch, did the slip lane on the other side but forgot that one! Thanks!

[@thomas_bergkvist]

Great build! Plus I loved your laughs 😊

[@skilzthatkilz11]

:)

[@PartTimeMAYOR]

Very lovely riverside industrial area!

[@skilzthatkilz11]

Thank you!

[@alexhentschel1080]

Hey SK, if you want your football and baseball stadiums to appear to be used, try taking any park asset, even multiple park assets. using better bulldozer, delete literally everything off the asset, then clip it inside your stadium. so the "blank" asset still provides the entertainment effect and people will still visit it but it will look like cims are visiting the stadiums

[@skilzthatkilz11]

Oh sweet I'll try that for the baseball stadium. (I used the actual football park for Martians Field)

[@princeashie3635]

@22.00 I'd recommend an offshoot of the road to go under the highway and provide access on the other side

[@skilzthatkilz11]

Totally, just need to plan what's going on the other side haha

[@SemperWifiMCMLXXXIX]

Love the NoVa mention. DC represent

[@skilzthatkilz11]

woot woot

Ayeee nova stand up! Springfield here

[@RLJSlick]

Great video! Look forward to the channel name change! What about Skilz Skylines LOL

[@skilzthatkilz11]

I'll definitely keep "skilz" in there somewhere :)

[@Foomandoonian]

I have to admit that I did find your username a bit off-putting at first, so maybe it's a good idea to change it. However, you've become one of my favourite CS channels over the last few months anyway, so perhaps it doesn't matter!

[@tactical1981]

Morrissey is a play on Morrisons, who are the company that bought out pretty much all the Safeway stores in the UK in 2004. I believe you still have Safeway in the US?

[@skilzthatkilz11]

Ha TIL. And yep we have Safeways here, though I think they're owned by another grocery giant Albertsons

[@nickbellomo3362]

The thing I love about cs is the traffic and how it moves thru the city. But it seems to me in cs2 there are way less truck traffic then cs1

[@skilzthatkilz11]

I noticed that too. I think there's a mod to make it less of a ghost town, but at a huge performance cost. Haven't tried it out yet

[@ayanda5967]

great vid! but I feel like you need a way to get from the stadium district back to the other side

[@skilzthatkilz11]

Ah hm good point. Though they _could_ go through DiMaggio Shores and get back on the highway

[@scottbruns7104]

Yes!

[@edwardseth1230]

A Walkway from the residential area to the parking mega lot.

[@skilzthatkilz11]

I'm forcing them to drive their Chevy Suburbans haha

[@KonnorMorrissey]

You produce such high quality videos and your builds are excellent, fairly new to your channel but I have been nothing but impressed. I personally think you should change the name of your channel, before you absolutely blow up (because you’re going to). My marketing degree is kicking into overdrive here but brand is everything and truthfully, the channel name just doesn’t fit😂. If you’re going to do it, I’d do it now before you get bigger. Just my two cents. Truly though kick ass channel and videos man I’d wager 2025 you’re gonna see a lot of growth.

[@skilzthatkilz11]

Hey thanks! And yeah, I'm already crafting a post about it, figured let's nip it in the bud haha

[@dotard79]

Can you have tutorials on how to establish successful satellite cities or high density suburbia. Examples including Bellevue, WA outside of Seattle, etc

[@skilzthatkilz11]

Oh I've never thought of that! I think that'd be a good idea once I lay down the new city center. Would definitely feel more like a metropolitan area and not just a single city

[@runningsloth1280]

The video I've been waiting for

[@mmmllkk78]

where do you get these big commericial and industrial building ploppables? I dont have them even with mods. is it a mod too?

[@skilzthatkilz11]

Yep that's Find It by TDW! Same guy who did Road Builder and Skyve

[@sdrx902]

wait, you also grew up in nova and live in seattle now ??? ive literally never met another person who had that same experience.. ill never forget my time living there, and ill always love the DC area... but i think washington is just meant for me haha

[@skilzthatkilz11]

I know you're legit because you called it nova haha. And agreed!! It's just way too beautiful out here
