Cities Skylines 2 is BIG: 10.000 New Homes and a Sunken Highway!

On our journey to 100.000 population, we've got some challenges ahead of us! We're starting off by implementing two game-changing mods into the build, before continuing with the development of a sunken interstate/highway and a big expansion of East Riverview! We also increase the density of several inner-city neighborhoods in Riverview and East Riverview, ultimately bringing the population above the 80.000 mark! Hope you enjoy!

[@hassankarim491]

just wanted to say I have been really enjoying the series, and do you think you will be adding a small metro system or something soon?

[@koushikdas657]

This series is everything, keep this , please don't discountinew this .

Even if episodes become more and more rare, I’ll always be back for this series

[@koushikdas657]

@ so so tru it's a bangger

[@scottsfowler]

All airports have fire service on site for this exact reason. Limited access + heavy traffic areas + plus jet fuel = 🔥🔥🔥

[@andrewbishop3078]

On the row houses causing the bad terrain, I’ve found if you leave a one tile gap between buildings of different heights, it makes a HUGE difference

[@roshansundar6618]

I think it would be kind of cool to develop some national parks and small mountain communities near the lakes you made in last episode!

[@dalton-at-work]

so glad you came back to youtube and brought your humor with you. Coniferia lives in our hearts but Riverview is getting there!

[@Unicornsnot9]

Colorado resident here! The city looks like it could fit right in, other than the high amount of trees. Theres tons of trees here, but not along the front range where big cities like Riverview would probably be. The mountains do have that Colorado color and texture so good job on that!!

[@theTVinmyHead]

Love Riverview! Seeing how there's almost 800 people waiting at that one stop alone, maybe it's time for more public transport? 😅 Are you planning on adding a subway system to the city?

[@penguin15304]

Subway or passenger trains!!

[@brwnqt1]

I found a new feature/ability .. if you place a park .. then grab the grass outline of the park and spread it out .. the whole area will be listed as a whole park .. its really cool .. so all of our green zones can now be recognized as a formal park in the game .. p.s. luv your videos and all the tricks and tips I can learn from them

[@AlbaGamerGz]

Beautiful feature

[@guillelopez3502]

Its not friday until infra kicks in❤

[@ollihakala710]

You're the best ever CS2 youtuber, but also the funniest! Don't be sad about your creativity, it makes the video more funny, and I'm in those things even worse!! Idea: BRT line: Kendrick - East Riverview - Downtown - Palmer , Love ur vids❤❤

[@rthomp03]

For what it's worth from a Colorado resident: I-25 does not go through mountainous terrain like this. It runs north-south along the plains east of the Rocky Mountains. I-70 is the interstate that goes through the mountains. But also from the previous episode where you measured the elevations of the surrounding mountains, this would be considerably lower elevation than most of Colorado (Denver is about 1600 meters above sea level). That being said, I'm totally fine with some creative freedom, and this series has been my favorite C:S2 content, so by all means keep it going please.

[@drekfletch]

We'll just cover our eyes and pretend he was talking about change in elevation, not total. But I can see Boulder's Flatirons fitting right in with those hills.

[@BlazingsNL]

6:24 that road seems to have caused an immediate traffic jam, being so close to the off-ramp Also seems like we need a public transport episode if there are 700 people waiting at one stop!

[@zacht112]

I love this series and your cs2 work in general! I'm always looking forward to new episodes. My request would be a reconstruction of that funny looking 4 way intersection in East Riverview!

[@jackh3242]

I live in Denver and appreciate the I-25 reference 😏 we don't have any rivers anywhere near that big here though

[@maxwellvigil6084]

21:06 i am from Colorado and it’s spot on. Definitely could be on I-25 west of Denver especially.

[@FigureInMind]

I hope to see more of Riverview.

[@Morkeoth]

So great ! So great ! I think you have some traffic management to do though. (Parking, crossroad management, stuff like that) You also forgot to make the highway off-ramp in Beech Street complete. You only have one enter and one exit.

[@Knowledgempire]

You need to continue this series and try a new city on Kexford custom map, it will be amazing with your astonishing creativity and care for details

[@nanjec9960]

I-25 mentioned! Watching from CO myself

[@seathomplay4167]

Great episode. I am glad to see the series is still going strong. The mods you added appear to be excellent additions to the game.

[@thomas_bergkvist]

I loved all your sassy comments 👏😂 Please keep 'em coming! 💪🇩🇰

[@ollihakala710]

What about a BRT (Bus Rapid Transit) line: Kendrick - East Riverview - Downtown - Palmer

[@goncalor.8192]

Dealing with the riverview housing crisis and the Riverview big dig

[@casadoalfajor-manaus6251]

You should create more residences nearby the port, as blue collar suburbs where the workclass would live nearby the work. I love your work!! Congrats from Brazil!!

[@maj0rdave]

Really enjoying this series! Even with CS2 and all of its unresolved issues.

[@Trenper]

How you thought of starting a Texas themed major city that is car and highway oriented? And if you do, as someone from Texas it would be cool to see frontage roads by the highways because they are everywhere here. Also river view is for sure my favorite cs2 city so far, and I hope you continue the city as well.

[@desiferguson4478]

Those foothills are beautiful

[@Ranger89212]

hit that like button folks, dope city!!!!!!!

[@mygrandpapengu]

This was one of your best and funniest vids I've seen! I love ur content and I watch all ur vids. (I love all of them) Keep up the great work!

[@brwnqt1]

And just watching the video .. i live in London now .. but I am originally from Denver .. and grew up with I-25 and Riverview does look like a Colorado city with the mountains in the background :)

[@MindBlowingBox]

The best and most thoughtful cs2 series i have followed thus far! always stoked to see a new episode

[@jeanneg6004]

Loved this episode :) You should improve the public transport. Your city has grown so much and judging by the huge line by that bus stop at the end, better public transport is long overdue!

[@strossicro1]

The reason why this series stands out is the slow, progressive evolution of your city. Its almost storytelling.

[@testdriver3146]

Looking forward to seeing you fixing the inevitable traffic mess in the coming episodes.

[@HenryRoss-wu4lo]

City skyline is realistic beautiful ❤this! morning 🌄 coffee ☕ to you 😊👍

[@Phayvour_ICT]

4:03 😂😂😂😂😂 " This is real bad" ......" Anyways "

[@Zanduby]

When I was first going to college, we'd always get a smell of burnt toast every morning at the same time. The teachers would always laugh when someone made the comment. We had a crematorium right next door to us. So I can confirm your placement is not too far off!

[@jonathanvandenklaassenvrie4022]

love this series, always looking forward to the next episode!

[@Spaghettinoodle1-zs7xb]

When you get issues with grass in the road you can terraform if away

[@spxdersen]

As soon as you said trams don’t take precedence over soccer moms, you had my like.

[@Ankles]

i stick for the cinematics just for the sick tracks

[@IzzoRacks]

Coming from somebody from America , don’t have your farms so close to downtown they supposed to be on the outskirts of the city and create more high density between your downtowns….hope you see this!!!

[@jaxxliu5027]

Nice to see this series

[@mallysh1998]

Infraaa, love stuff you do, especially in this beautiful county😊 After you changed the logo, sometimes I can miss the release of the episode, but will definitely watch. You know what is crazy, since the first episode, I couldn’t believe that the roundabout from the major highway in Downtown can survive amount of traffic it should get, but no, it’s alive and breathing 😂 Maybe a nicer city entrance can be a part of gentrification later on. And also, traams, I know you will have a whole episode dedicated to it, just want to see infrastructure upgraded to 21st century level. Even states do this sometimes 😂 and while you were creating new hood, I thought, wow, that’s a perfect spot for a tram line going across the highway 😊 Btw, this sunken part really reminds me of Allen road in Toronto, if you are looking for hood names around it - Yorkdale might be a good option Love the episode and your work, take care😊

[@alisacrowder4833]

you should make riverview a long time series with dlcs this could be a good city like for example a park dlc would be nice.

[@Pasta-s6g]

You should make your city a mod so people could build of of your amazing work

[@ezraferrari7719]

Love your series man keep it up!

[@Meeesa]

Another Colorado resident here! Love the i25 reference! I think you should now construct I70 - it's the highway that takes us into the mountains. Its a shit show just about 300 days a year. It's exceptionally bad in the winter months with extreme winter weather and everyone trying to make it to the ski areas. I'm not gonna mention **cough cough** Texas and Cali drivers, though.... 👀 Anywho, love your videos, as always!

[@GioMorgan1]

Recently started to play this, Every time I make a city, and then I think it looks good.. Then I see what you make and I get dissapointed hahah. Edit: I really get a lot of inspiration from you, love the work man! Keep it up

[@marianodn]

You're a genius. Keep it growing! 💪🏻💪🏻💪🏻

[@disimal]

Thank you for a good Friday!

[@stanbaranski90]

I've been following [almost] from the beginning, one of my fav YT skylines series

[@nyosis_tv]

Those 800 ppl waiting for the bus clearly shows it’s time for a major upgrade of public transportation 😂

[@jeremiahpadilla2822]

Fun fact I 25 runs form south Dakota to new Mexico so it's not just Colorado so basically it could be in Wyoming south Dakota or in Colorado

[@Swampy428]

A bit morbid, but my hometown’s Community College use to be an old hospital and insane asylum. The old crematorium was converted to the arts studio. So maybe Riverview did the same. 😂🤷🏼‍♂️

[@timothybrown4258]

May i suggest adding trees to your highway median to add a scenic look

[@LOLWAAHH]

You should add walls to the sunken highway

[@3gunslingers]

Now that you have the realistic land value mod, you should actually start building on the most valuable plots of land. For some very weird reasons you rarely build both sides of the major roads (you only build on the "inside") and you practically never build on both sides of the roads next to bodies of waters. But the land on the very shore of rivers/lakes is the most valuable one. So why don´t you zone the land between the shore and the street?

[@chrisw443]

It's about time East Riverview put MY TRUCK over the LIBERAL TRAMS in importance by letting us use the tram lanes! It'd be better when we get them hippies to rip out those trams and give us a third lane. But I GUESS this is sufficient for now.

[@nihal5634]

Just wanna point out the interchange at 33:10 does not have on or off access for the east side.🙂

[@xavestudio4623]

122k subs! nice road to 200k!

[@meditationmusic8613]

please make a mountain village

[@belish5665]

Name the new "Triangle Park" "Nevada Park" since its shaped like the state of Nevada

[@Tgaming02]

can you do an episode showing us the city in details

[@Jspec1983]

Need as "realistic" mod pack for my next city start!

[@Zezenbeltza]

Thanks

[@jimdotcom1972]

how much more of this game is there to showcase? are their unique buildings and industries you haven't built yet?

[@iwantcrawfish6110]

seems like CO should just implement these mods into the game asap

[@Meeesa]

Nooooo...that would make too much sense! 🫠

[@PyroAgnon]

"I would implement some rent control... but that wouldn't really fit the American theme." Bruh I'm deceased.

[@owenschmidt6166]

Great video as always!

[@umzalas7960]

Hi, can I download this amazing city? It would be so amazing to appreciate all the things you done. Keep it up!

[@Sean-ps3ec]

Burn the bodies sounds morbid... But "Death Wagon" isn't !???

[@RubiGMM]

It's quite alarming that fps considerably tank more and more each episode this series goes on... maybe the near-city outskirts have too many assets/polygons + the city itself is too much ?

[@Infrastructurist]

One thing I have noticed is that performance really tanks in the aftermath of a big up-zoning/new-zoning change, as the game's simulation seems to struggle moving in all the new agents. This was further worsened by the implementation of the two mentioned mods in this episode, as they also shake up things across the board. So while the performance naturally drops as the city grows, this episode is hopefully an outlier 😊

[@tanujjoshi4737]

Why dont you name the park Skyline Park? If it is not repeated

[@joshgellock]

Love this name!

[@MikMoen]

I can see how the game recommends you having such higher end computer components, since it has the potential to look like you're basically running Google Earth as a game. That also makes me upset, since I don't have the specs needed for that.

[@bathomoilwa4815]

Please add aristrocatic European mansions on the foot hills.

[@F1FNY]

Do you have any long term target for number of the population in RIverView?

[@navesboys7479]

can you add new iconics buildings even europpean one to look more like kind of a GIANT city

[@laurengabriel3724]

As an American I love the constant shade you throw on our bullshit city planning and infrastructure. 😅😂

[@slaplord]

why is there no mostly trees on the mountains

[@Chrischi4598]

Wouldn’t the area in the airport landing zones be perfect for low income housing? Nobody else wants to live there anyways

[@s.w.a.t.3057]

Where do I find mods for CS2?

Where can I find all these mods?

[@Cartbs229]

Destroying half the city and then rebuilding it is the most American thing

[@leagueofrailway101]

So you are not going to do anything about public transport given that you have 800 people waiting at a single stop 😅

[@joshgellock]

I have lots of thoughts: - First, this is the best CS2 series on KZbin right now (hands down) - thank you! - I don't like the workplace mod you're using. Having less than 1% unemployment is not balanced - that's unbalanced. - "What is going on with my roads?" It's called Anarchy. 😆 You're getting wonkiness because of the using it. - "It's not letting me do this and it doesn't make any sense". It does. You used Anarchy to force stuff in that you wouldn't typically be able to put in without the mod. If you just used the game mechanics, and stayed within the parameters, not using Anarchy, you'd be fine. The clearances aren't there. Plain and simple. 🙂 - Lastly, while I think a lot of your work is incredibly and looks great, the trenched highway looks awful. The clearance isn't right, the ramps look bad, the trench looks bad, the attempt to try and make it look like they came through and bulldozed a highway through looks bad... It all just looks bad, lol. I would say it needs to be reworked. Keep the content coming!

[@charliekliewer2643]

Im distracted by the new zealand accent, and in a good way.

[@drekfletch]

You could always copy Boston and bury the highway. But, please don't take 20 years to do it.

[@ifr-ed]

Providing the best videos for CS2, no question. Questionable is that it´s supporting a company which is actively betraying and lying to customers.

[@joshgellock]

Womp womp 😅

[@tobbakken2911]

Is it just me or does it sound like the time laps music has licking sound. It sounds so much like it, was so bad.

[@zaffziz9981]

This guy really hate commercial and industrial area 😒

[@Izmael1310]

Are you paid by PDX? You still keep playing the game and many other youtubers stopped or went back to CSL1 or different games. The game is dead on PC. Month Avg. Players Gain % Gain Peak Players Last 30 Days 5,599.5 -53.9 -0.95% 11,306 CSL 1 has better numbers ;)

[@Ad1tputra]

I think he made a video on why he keep playing CS2. Anyway who cares let him play this game it's not like everyone is forced to play this game. If you like and prefer CS1 then go play it. Btw Mods are now in CS2 that is really exciting! Twenty Two Dollars started using mods and already it looks so much better

[@whichway-557]

Please say AMBULANCE again :)
