Creating a Vibrant Downtown and Central Library in Cities: Skylines 2! | Dewy del Mar #6

It's time to put the skyline in Cities: Skylines and upzone our downtown grid!
Today we're adding tons of development to Palm Tree Way, which will quickly become the city's cultural and commercial hub. We're building parks, plazas, pedestrian malls, and even the Dewy del Mar Grand Central Library!
Time to put Dewy del Mar on the map.

Love the corner cafe by the food trucks!

[@sjoerdmensonides7867]

Nice work. You can place some invisible paths over the foodtruck Plaza to create some life there.

[@bjroo]

this is so underrated

[@MindBlowingBox]

Didn’t know you were from Seattle! Hello from just down the road. I hope in the future we get some more stadium assets to build some custom sports complexes.

[@skilzthatkilz11]

Ayyy nice to see a fellow Washingtonian! And agreed on sports complexes. In fact, "olympic sports park" is on my list of episode ideas haha. In the meantime, City Sculptor has something like that, a "sports technology institute". Can check it out here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/en-wlX-Jgr5gZqs

[@raymondhughes2269]

Awesome job. Love the details between the buildings

[@skilzthatkilz11]

Thanks! Definitely needed when the zoning tiles are broken up like that haha

[@jamesdeadthrone6689]

Awesome job as always, you do such a good job at putting a story to every bit of the build. Loving the content 👌

[@skilzthatkilz11]

Hey thanks for saying that! I'm glad you enjoy it 😊 Props to City planner plays for really driving the story driven development

[@jamesdeadthrone6689]

@@skilzthatkilz11 I like your spin on it though you focus more on the architecture, it’s awesome 👍

[@jobaedjahan2919]

Honestly, was waiting for you to upload ever since I binged rest of the series. Keep up the good work🙌

[@skilzthatkilz11]

Thank you so much! I'm glad you're enjoying it, I definitely enjoy making them. Anything you'd like to see in the city?

[@jobaedjahan2919]

​@@skilzthatkilz11 Well, would love to see a custom posh gated community on the hilly area. Also the farm lands kind of seems too close to downtown you might want to move them somewhere else incase of expanding.

[@skilzthatkilz11]

The way the city is expanding, I'm definitely going to have to move those farms soon... And making the Beverly Hills area gated is an EXCELLENT idea, can use the fence netlanes!

[@alvarofuster4272]

Looks great, keep it up!!!

[@skilzthatkilz11]

Thanks for continuing to watch!

[@aluxtube3089]

Nice video

[@johnmiller8975]

So I am A librarian (yes a real one) glad to see you add a library although bummed that they couldn't have it do like the old Impressions games & have it be functional

[@skilzthatkilz11]

The first Cities Skylines had functional libraries too, so hopefully that comes in a future update!

[@bjroo]

it looks like one end of the custom parking lot isn’t connected to the road. I don’t know if that’s intentional but anyway great video!!

[@skilzthatkilz11]

hey thanks! And hmm the one by the library? I'll double check that, thanks for the heads up

[@bjroo]

I think there are two crescent streets. You could rename one to Sunglow Ridge Lane or Garnet Street to Belmonde street if it’s french

[@skilzthatkilz11]

Okay ha I thought I was going crazy. I like that name!! Definitely fits the theme. I haven't checked in a while, but do you know if they fixed that bug where street names change even after you set them?

[@bjroo]

@@skilzthatkilz11 I’m not sure. I do know a hack from city planner plays though. He puts a a little nub after an intersection because when the roads just curve into each other, one takes the name.

[@Kayambo974]

Great video! Maybe you can help me. Whenever I put a building I chose with Find it, they say the building is abandoned and will be destroyed soon… how do I do ?

[@skilzthatkilz11]

Sounds like you need Plop the Growables by algernon - do you have that mod installed/enabled?

[@Kayambo974]

@@skilzthatkilz11 no

[@skilzthatkilz11]

Then yeah, that mod should fix the issue!

[@Kayambo974]

@@skilzthatkilz11thanks a lot !

[@alexhentschel1080]

you can delete all those water towers using the better bulldozer

[@skilzthatkilz11]

Good call, that does look a little weird with all 3 clustered together
