Crafting A REALISTIC Beach Front In Cities 2!

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

Fantastic detailing Egg, love it 🙂

[@OVERCHARGEDEGG]

Thanks boss man 😁

[@michaelw6222]

Those textured surfaces make a massive difference. The aesthetics of the game are definitely become more palatable and customizable. The beach town is looking awesome!

[@anthonyortali3260]

A very pretty build, and the update came at just the right moment! For the beach and custom viewpoint and other parkish areas you can use the "areas" from the Extra tool in your terraforming tab. Designate the beach as a park area, and add either invisible or regular pathways to and through these areas. When you have sims looking for outdoor entertainment, they will use your new parks and give some life to them (and I don't think the homeless have figured out these custom areas, but I haven't really looked for them.) I'm not sure how to get them to sit on the benches and chairs, but in the parks and built in patios on the buildings they now will use them (I was zoomed in looking at some placement details and suddenly noticed this.) I'm also not sure that these custom areas count in the AI as leisure like the "park" assets, but you can also place some of the vanilla ones and extend them with the custom park area designation to get that if you need it to make the sims happy. Cities Skylines 2 has blossomed into something exciting (although I do have a pretty good gaming machine so that may be influencing my opinion just a bit!)

[@piyush-_-]

Putting the parking lot at a lower level than at the top near the viewing point makes more sense where it gives a 360° uninterrupted view and creates a separate space away from the cars.

[@danielsature]

The town should be called Serrano after the first family who moved in! The town of Serrano and Serrano beach/Serrano villas have great rings to them 😉

[@carriegarrisonvos4433]

I really like the textured surfaces!!! Makes it look so cool and realistic with the sand blending from the water and into the grass. Excellent build and detailing 🤩

[@EraChanZ]

are we just gonna ignore the ''polluted water'' unhappinessy ou flashed us at 35:45? haha

[@OVERCHARGEDEGG]

Didn't even notice it myself lol

[@WhatsleftofTom]

You’re really on another level with the release of these detailing mods. A triumphant return. Great to see

[@bjroo]

Thank you so much for choosing my name ❤ I love this series so much and excited that CS2 is really ramping up. For the town name, since it’s lush and green, you could call it Verdant City 🌸🌹🍀

[@OVERCHARGEDEGG]

Thanks for the suggestion mate!

[@laurengabriel3724]

I could see this being the next Orchid Bay. What a great map and I love the planning so far

[@OVERCHARGEDEGG]

Big claim Lauren! Thank you :D

[@joshinio]

Excellent build, such great detail. I genuinely think this could be one of your best series ever if they release enough game updates to keep up with you. Are you going to aim to use every asset?

[@OVERCHARGEDEGG]

I'm sure we'll try! Might struggle with some of the taller uniques on this map I reckon!

[@CanadianDadReacts]

Absolutely brilliant. No one does it quite like Egg.

[@isidromunoz6403]

That beach is very very cool and the detail of color tones of the sand is spectacular. As always, awesome. Congratulations !!!

[@CaptainGG1]

I think you could bring the beach to life with some invisible paths and actually have sims walking on the beach, maybe a invisible road and restrict vehicles just so you can get an asset like and outdoor gym etc . Great work 👍

[@3DaysIn]

Just started working on a beach myself! Happy to see this for all the ideas :). For the name: Century Beach in honor of the upcoming 100K. :) Thanks as always for a fun episode.

[@WhiskeyHunterVAT69]

Fun build. Thank you for the VOD. 🥃🥃

[@tommeakin1732]

I'd think that a neighbour full of all those swanky homes would be gated off; most of all as there's that big hill overlooking the backs of all the homes. I can already see the paparazzi sneaking into the woods to try and watch a popstar shower. That being said, it being on a headland like that makes it a weird one to gate off lol

[@sully_skylines]

Great job on the beach front Egg, beautiful ❤ this series is shaping up nicely

[@OVERCHARGEDEGG]

Cheers bro 🍻😄

[@Zezenbeltza]

Genius. Wonderful beach

[@OVERCHARGEDEGG]

Thank you!

[@wilburrr927]

Hey Egg! I'm watching the video now, but have you thought about using the invisible paths through the sand into the chairs to give some more life to the beach?

[@OVERCHARGEDEGG]

Good idea mate!

[@dandomine]

You know, these sand & grass textures would be awesome to create some great looking sand dunes ! Add a few bushes and grasses (when they get to us) and you'll get really close to the real deal. By the way, you should have such a feature separating your beach from your town. It doesn't need to be very high, just enough to make some preserved nature at the heart of your build.

[@nielsvanlook6297]

Beautifull I only want to point out that your bridge is in the water Keep up the good work

[@alexhentschel1080]

It would be cool to do a rocky shoreline around the millionaire's homes, using a combination of the the boulders, small rock piles etc. then you could also add a few small private beaches in between the rocky out crops, with small paths leading down from the homes.

[@OVERCHARGEDEGG]

Good idea! Lets do it :)

[@alexhentschel1080]

@@OVERCHARGEDEGG Awesome! Im imagining using terraforming to create small coves, covered in boulders and rocks, so the beaches are somewhat enclosed on either side by the rock formations. then moving further up the hill you could have really dense brush using sunken trees/bushes, keeping it short enough so the view from the houses arent blocked. then lastly a very basic wooden fence along the road with openings for the foot paths. probably will take alot of tedious work but it would look great!

[@StarShadowPrimal]

It seems like one of those peninsulas (or maybe the one that's now an island) might be likely to have a lighthouse or the ruins of one. Of course, if it's an old one, it might be linked to a similarly ruined or historic harbor. I just imagine that such a lush and beautiful coastal area would have a history of at least minor prior habitation.

[@ardarin7462]

there was a french tv reality show named Koh-Lanta after the island where first season took place. The naming of Koh Khai reminds it to me. For the first town Lanta would du funny to me despite not being a reference for english speaking countries. For more information about the real location mentioned above : Koh Lanta or Ko Lanta is a coastal island in the Andaman Sea. It only officially took the name Koh Lanta in 1917. This name, of uncertain etymology, comes either from the Javanese lanta which designates a utensil used to grill fish or from the Thai lan taa which associated with koh would translate as “the island of a million eyes”.

We have to get there now! Thanks for being part of that journey :)

[@saspry]

Some of those headland mansions could be build back from the main road... with a private road entry allowing the house to be place higher up the hill? Also, your headland road with trees on it will likely be the target for some people to "remove" the trees because they will potentially block their views. Yeah - it happens IRL!!!

[@diannadyer5102]

What about adding the pedestrian walkways on the beach and around the chairs so it appears like an active beach? Love the canal!

[@OVERCHARGEDEGG]

[@ben0329]

Amazing work from Sully and co on the surfaces and mods! I was wondering if you had recorded this before the defaulters update but so pleased those new assets can make there way into the map

[@tigonologdring9189]

He he he... ACTUAL beach properties! Fab stuff mate. And have you noticed how you can now align surface patterns based on the first two nodes laid down? Super cool extra not mentioned in the detailers' patch.

[@tyrk1589]

I'm trying to get better at this game, so I am following your build step by step. Having a ton of fun thru 2 episodes!

[@pcdosgirl]

Man, this is some inspiring stuff... I'm currently building on the custom map.... I want to say Merchant's Bay? Anyway, it has a massive shoreline. I might spend a day making it as aesthetic as this video's.

[@alanphilpott5212]

My first CS2 watching as have refused to due console delays, but detailing and Egg, its a must watch , loving it. The town should be called Glade shell Khoi

[@rrael]

About to dive back in for the first time since launch now that they've smoothed over the biggest issues imo. Especially happy about the detailer update and smaller service building options. Question: when it comes to surface tools, do cims actually walk on them, like use the beach and props? Or is that something that'll require a future mod or expansion? I love the idea of building a beach front but hate seeing it empty of people.

[@e.m.b.5090]

that mansion peninsula should be called Koh Khai Nh But jokes aside, how about some small dunes between the beach and the drive? It would give that area some...three-dimensionality. Some sparse foliage, maybe a rock or two...

[@petertomley1385]

skylines 2 is really finally hitting its stride - more assets and were a go. Is it possible to share the mods playlist rather than list them all individually?

[@OVERCHARGEDEGG]

Unfortunately not, PDX mods hasn't yet reinvented the share button for playsets yet

[@StarStuff.]

Beach ❤ As for town names I'd suggest naming them after the wonderful modders since it's thanks to them you can make this island come alive. Starting with Sully perhaps?

This is my favorite cities skylines 2 series ever and you know I love it because I fully spelt out cities skylines 2😂😅😮🎉😊

[@jgolden2976]

Not sure if I am the only one to notice, but I do not think a paved road would be put onto a sand foundation. I do not see that working out for the road's integrity. I hope you can take that into consideration to change it. Perhaps a boardwalk over the sand and have the road extend to the boardwalk

[@tlspud]

You don't build a road on a sand foundations but roads are built on beaches (for bicycle and emergency vehicles access) all the time. Here's how you do it: 1) get a bulldozer and remove all the sand. 2) bring in truckloads of basalt and compact it down. 3) bring in truckloads of gravel and compact it down over the basalt. 4) lay down a road surface as normal. 5) Use bulldozer to push sand back around the road. 6) enjoy beach road.

[@pcdosgirl]

It's a bit more common on sand beaches to see compacted and leveled terrain (with tire marks so that is easily identified as a road). So perhaps the CS2 dirt road would be appropriate for the sand areas, and maybe an alley road for the soil areas. The game's dirt road actually has a sand color, so definitely could work. Also, can you put terrain over roads using anarchy? I've never tried it.

[@jgolden2976]

@@tlspud Wow, great points and thanks for explaining the process. I have never see it done and I also have never seen an asphalt road on top of sand, so it interesting knowing that a normal road is underneath it.

[@jgolden2976]

I was not expecting my comment is get this many likes and attention! Thank you all for reading, I am looking forward to this build looking more realistic.

Curious they dont have the brush option for landscaping as they did in CS1 along with the line tool in CS2. It would definitely help smoothing the edges and make for more organic looking transitions in landscapes. Awesome video though!

[@ae92levingtapex]

Could you use an asset as a lifeguard tower? Maybe the fire watch? Or that might be too big

[@boki1693]

I actually have a beach assets mod that has some fun beachy things and a commercially zone for the beach. But it stopped working after the last patch. Also had a mod for medium commercial that looked really good but again, last patch. He did fix it after the economy patch so hoping.

[@TheRealJupitz]

I would prefer to have hiking trail to top of the hill and viewing plateu. Using gravel road to sight seeing is kinda Murica’s thing. Usually there’s no road if needed like who pays for the road and what is its purpose. People will go to see the sights even though it’s hiking path or driveway

If you look at beach pictures, you can see well defined wave lines on the beach - at least on the U.S. northwest coast. Breaking it up may be something Europeans encounter??

[@BrentDnD]

It seems that maybe you haven’t actually been to the beach. Those well-defined wave lines you see in a picture are static because it’s literally a picture. The constant rising and lowering of the tide throughout the day makes those wave lines to show as much more smooth transition from the more densely packed wet sand to the dry sand up higher on the beach. And that’s generally how it works all over the world, with o my slight differences in appearance based on the type of sand at any particular beach.
