Your Zebra Crossing at 6.20 is extremely dangerous as there is no indication that the traffic flow changes to the opposite side, I think your local council would be screaming! All that aside, lovely build another great episode, cheers!

[@grahamsopp]

as both roads go from 1 to two lanes, it's not as bad as if 2 went to 1 and massive headons were the result

[@colmx8441]

It is massively dangerous - not for the traffic but for pedestrians. No way that you should have a zebra crossing right where cars are changing lanes, especially at the apex of a curve. Those cims crossing from the inside are doomed, I tell you, doomed.

Love this build so much, but you've created quite a few lumpies and bumpies (parking lots that are far from flat, buildings with stairs a meter off the ground, buildings that look like they're on a grass pedestal, etc.) in this part of the city Ps. The nets on the soccer fields disappeared

[@nantarg]

One thing that came to mind looking at the park was that you are placing trees rather than carving them out. I would probably look at park more in a Negative spaces kind of way. So fill the entire park area with trees and then start thinking about where in this wooden area I would like to have activities. And how would people get around to the different activities. And then just carve it out.

[@magicalmac7505]

Feel like we need an episode dedicated entirely to fixing and detailing the city

[@SlateTiara]

Nice build in this one ☺ It's so cool to see the sims moving around in hordes to check out what's new. As for detailing, you have a couple of roundabouts that could do with some landscaping. In particular the one with the pedestrian bridge might look even cooler with something artsy in the middle.

[@GirLovesWaffles5]

My favorite youtuber to watch for detailing is Akruas. His level of detailing is insane to put it mildly.

[@neila9251]

There is a way to turn dead end streets into cul-de-sacs by widening the end node. It looks good too!

Akruas is a really good KZbinr a detailing, he does excellent videos about the 2 cities he's building... His cities are stunning.

[@tobitheweirdgerman230]

True absolutely stunning

[@evereatingdavid]

I always struggle to fill in the areas with trees, I generally just brush some in but leaving open spaces is not a bad idea. Not everything needs to be covered. By the way, Akruas is an amazing detailer. Just stunning cities and amazing use of mods to create buildings, parks and services to his liking. Just one episode makes you want to recreate what he does

[@subg8858]

I always snuggle to fill in areas with knees

[@svenfg8797]

Hey Biffa! Maybe you could build a Parliament or Government District and the home of the Mayor or Prime Minister (similar to Downing Street 10). Love the video, it was FANTASTIC!

[@amdkillaplays]

Is there a riot generator asset to plop down next to it? Gotta have that realism

[@jameshg1900]

And then make a video setting every Natural Disaster on it.

[@brendotheoffendo]

Like 1820's Sydney with it's Government Domain. Includes the Royal Botanical Gardens, The Domain and everything from Circular Quay/Macquarie Street to Wollomooloo Bay. Basically just gardens and Government, Public buildings the size of half the city.

[@GaryFerrao]

there's a suggestion. you can make all the entrances to your park into a park side gate. even if it's free, it's the number of people entering your park that you want to level up quickly!

[@davidius74]

Half the problem is that people will drive into to get to those car parks by the football pitches and therefore not going through the gate and thus not registering even though those people are using the facilities. Same goes for everyone wanting to just walk along the road that comes in

[@andrewfinden2642]

@@davidius74 Doesn't it just count people who enter the park zone? I don't think they literally have to pass through certain pixels of the gate.

[@darkcognitive]

I think whilst having lines of trees is a good quick way to fill in some land and neaten it all up, it gets quite repetitive in my opinion and can begin to look unnatural. Even just deleting a couple of trees in each line, and then offsetting them a few feet from the line, can give a much more natural look and helps break up the regimented look to it all. I also like to add extra trees behind the main line on areas with a lot of space. Some places where i keep the absolutely straight lines is outside of businesses that would plant them that way on purpose and maintain them, or sometimes in showpiece areas in parks where everything is meant to look groomed to perfection.

[@Incogneto1981]

Few Candy is the best at detailing!!! Like incredible! You should check out her series on YT.

[@jafu745]

Would use low hedges instead of trees along the paths in the park. Consider how the park would seem a corridor to people using it if they cannot see above the plant line.

[@irrationalsense]

Nice to see a great big park! With so many flats and residence blocks, it's good to have some green spaces. You might want to add a few commercial spots here and there. Not pubs, mind you, but it would help not having to jump into a car every time to go to the local shop. As for detailing, definitely check out FewCandy! She's one of the best at it. She does a lot of brilliant work with mods, but she can do miraculous stuff with even vanilla assets (like she did for the 5B1C current series as a guest builder). She's also a Brit. :)

[@samogers]

That park needs a water feature! Many UK parks have man made ponds and/or lakes

[@peterdenegri5019]

there is this guy on KZbin called Akruas who is insane at building and detailing on city skylines. His new series contains insane amounts of detail with transport and expanding his city. I would recommend definitely checking out his content. :)

[@chrisharper6941]

Few Candy is the best detailer I've seen. Strictoaster is really good too, though he hasn't made videos for years now.

[@s-builds]

I have an idea for another park! Maybe you can do a massive park with a palace or castle in the middle, and around the castle / palace you can make a massive park. With fountains and all that kind of grand stuff. It will fit great in the city.

[@SvendleBerries]

1:30 - "Hello, we are from the city council. We are afraid that you were not supposed to build a house here. I know it was zoned for housing, but thats our mistake. We are going to need to bulldoze your house as it is ruining the cities aesthetic." - "Wha-Where are we going to go? Will we be compensated?" - "Sorry, its gone already. Have a good day."

[@akraus53]

If you're ever looking for inspiration for a big park in the middle of a city, have a look at Berlins "Tempelhofer Feld". It's a ridiculously large park in Berlin which used to be an airport. Nowadays, there's community gardens, the runways are used by bikers and skaters and there's even a bird reserve. I think something like that would look amazing in Cities Skylines Edit: I just found out that they're kite surfing on the former runways as well! Also, the Google Earth images sadly don't show the size and details of the park properly, so also look at pictures, please!

[@kevin1smid]

Hey man just a small detailing idea: you have a few bunches of trees near almost every housing estate you build, give them some benches (don't go overboard just a few simple benches dotted around)

[@Az_1987]

Overcharged Egg is the king of detailing imo. Also check out Few Candy and Joy Builds Cities. Great vid Biff, loved it!

[@elenaja_online]

I think you might need more water, ponds, rivers etc. The park could look really cool with a pond. There are pond assets on the workshop if you don't want to deal with the in game watertool. But then again, I am dutch so maybe I am used to a overload of water everywhere 😅 edit: I quite like the " Quad's Natural Sanctuary Ponds " and " Swan Pond " not sure if they still work properly though

[@Minotaur1975]

Hopefully you don't mean "Swan's Pond" from Fallout 4 ;)

[@brendotheoffendo]

The last units would probably have 2 households per floor, top floor a penthouse with 1 household. Some of your other units you probably have under-populated them too. It's always a place you can squeeze out more population if needed.

[@heresj5105]

Just with a little bit of nothing your city looks so much cooler than a vanilla city that's looking so great omg I think I will probably never be able to make the same 😭

[@RivkahSong]

This looks lovely Biffa! Though maybe it's because I'm used to American parks but it's strange to me to see a park this large without a lake or pond of some sort in it.

[@linnau85]

Love this city the most, there seems to be a really strong focus on building a sense of place. Detailing youtubers, I’m terrible at names but there is an incredible South African builder who creates incredibly realistic landscapes so fantastic. I wish I could remember his name. He contributed to a one city five builders series I’m sure.

[@amysteele2488]

Loving the new park. The entrance on the curved road very much reminds me of Bushy Park. On the Teddington side where I grew up, the gate was on a similarly curved road, with roads lined with houses on the side opposite the park. Waterloo Park, though much smaller and lacking in streams, lakes and a fountain, otherwise is similar to Bushy Park, with the sports facilities, play area and amenities, plus the trees scattered everywhere. Cracking job!

[@peterz_z]

This City looks awesome! I like that you’re making some parks and I really like that you’re make making long videos that entertaining me. Keep going!

[@yaduvarma9854]

When u plopped those Contemporary apartments , they are 'Historic' by default. So they probably won't be the same height when they level up...

As far as other KZbinrs that do good detailing go, I've taken a liking to the decoration methods in some of Xucaboa's videos also.

[@kmur3972]

Regarding other tubers: check out @Joy Builds Cities, her detailing in Mordalgo (15 minute city) is marvelous. She's got custom parking, custom dog parks, and finds interesting uses for assets like the urban food forest and pocket hoods. The first person she does at the ends of the videos always seem very realistic. I'm a big fan of your cities and your energy. Can't wait to see your take on the new promenade DLC.

[@sergpie]

I watched a mini podcast on a project they’re proposing in NYC to open alleyways and connect them to adjoining avenues, and fill the inner courtyards and pathways with shops and benches and a whole bunch of trees. That could be something to play around with in superdense urban areas with high rises.

[@eyespyyourspy1328]

Just really started playing with the tree brush and I went wonky with the Yucka or Yew (yired and can't remember which) the trees with thick trunks and tons of shade. I have hidden parts of my park area with hundreds of them 😂. Detailing is not easy on PS4 and my park seems kind of dead with out any DLCs. Might have to give a shake weight or a double fisty twisty to get those settled. Really would love to have some fun extras for my first city Wrong Start on Diamond coast just hit a population 155,000. Two weeks of hard learning through Mr Biffa and a couple of others. Maybe if I get my DLC and Steam set by the holidays I can get a good Ole Hugo There Biffa fix come Start of New Year? Probably not, but I will do my best.

[@mark_u]

Loving this new park build. I think it would be even better if it had some sort of a water feature or more parks within it 😊

[@brendotheoffendo]

Seems like you might need a high density residential zone/area to hit your population targets. Might run out of room otherwise. It'll become like a real life city with an island of high-rises, surrounded by sprawling suburbs.

[@brendotheoffendo]

Highrise apartments and skyscrapers, with 20 storey gangways like Trellick Tower. 😂 A 'East London' would be cool.

[@dr.eurobeat619]

As for other youtubers, check out Akuras and Skibbith. I've learned a lot from their videos in terms of building a highly detailed city. Their detailing skills are awesome.

[@alelampa7637]

[@macgyveriii2818]

I would suggest a small pond in your Waterloo Gardens park! Perhaps in the green treed area near the eldercare building?

[@nightwolf2104]

Maybe you could add another entrance to the park right by the contemporary apartments. There is already a crossing on that road anyway, and it would make it easier for people to enter the park from that side as well.
