Creating a Waterfront LEISURE District and Fixing Services Needs in Cities Skylines! | Auridon

Welcome to Auridon (Ep 5)! This is a 'lightly’ modded Cities Skylines series, although I do use a ton of mods the series will use mostly Vanilla (+DLC) game assets with only a handful of extras from the workshop. The focus of this build is on making a detailed city, with functional mass transit, including all DLC and content creator packs. 2022 ready!
Episode 5 focuses on how to plan and detail a mixed leisure, tourism and commercial waterfront complex using careful asset selection and placement and a lot of props! We also address the need for services, try to fix the not enough buyers for goods issues, and name our factory area. Lots of assets from the After Dark DLC in here.

I've taken massive inspiration for this build, and to start my channel, from the Cities: Skylines greats such as Biffa, Imperatur and City Planner Plays (among many many others I would add!!) but above all from the amazing OverchargedEgg and in particular his Palaven series which has heavily inspired this city. You can check that out here:

Very inspiring with the detailing, love it. Great job 😀

[@meady50]

It’s nice seeing that bigger youtubers are enjoying these videos as much as I am

[@masha8770]

Not gonna lie, when she sunk in that huge rock behind the beach shack I had "Alien Rock!" going in my head.

[@fewcandy]

@@masha8770 I was thinking that when I did it! 😂

[@edwardbickford8277]

@@masha8770 lol I did too

[@gorgonzola86]

@@masha8770 Totally. FewCandy should be naming the bar 'The Alien Rock Beach Bar'.

[@Muse4Games]

It doesn't matter if it's a big area like the oil industry or a tiny beach front like the leisure area, you'll detail it to perfection. So impressed how you make these things come to life.

[@turn3487]

William’s Point would be a nice name for the new commercial area, due to its geography. “Wanna head down to The Point and grab a frothie? Maybe a bit of karaoke, see where the night takes us.”

[@TS_Mind_Swept]

I actually call Cedar Point 'The Point' SuperVinlin

[@NelsonBrown]

And call the tram line "Get to The Point" 😅

[@rugbyfan9225]

I think you have to name a NightClub 'Candy's', or something to that effect. As tribute to yourself and also reminds me of every town having that local Night Club that sucks, but everyone loves it

[@Incogneto1981]

If you use the tree anarchy options you can set it to delete the trees where ever you build anything. Biffa used it in his last vid :) Saves time deleting trees just to put them back and it will save fps in the long run. Great vid again!

[@fewcandy]

I have finally turned that on! 😂

[@f35lighteningII]

One of the coolest builds I've seen in skylines! Super fun episode!

[@gorgonzola86]

When there will be some big office building complex in the future you totally should have some kind of 'Williams-Holding' headquarter there. Maybe they own the brewery and the power station... and even co-founded that country club.

[@lukedawg2787]

Hey FC I first and foremost want to thank you for taking the leap and creating content for this amazing game. I love each and every Skylines content creator. Each of them bring a unique style and keep the game fresh. They each have a creative and inspiring eye but let’s be honest the Skylines community was in need of a woman’s eye. I can build some amazing cities but when it comes to certain aspects I have to turn to my amazing wife and get her perspective on it. I haven’t been able to build a beautiful city without her help. I can make things look cool but my wife makes them look beautiful. I wish you the best of luck and can’t wait to see this channel take off. It only gets better from here!!

[@matthewstillman6693]

I've had to pause the video and commend you on your disco dance floor. That is a next level idea / detailing. Learnt something every video so far! Other you tubers inspire me on how they arrange objects or terraform etc. but you are the first in a long time to show unique idea like the disco. Keep up the amazing work.

[@mateo_sid]

that beach bar with rocks behind it is a stroke of genius

[@Illkiron]

I love your builds, they look great, even when using a lot of Vanilla assets. Really happy for your growth, and to have found a great CS creator! And, if I may, it's so rare to have women creators, usually a very male-dominated, men-only area. So I really can't stress how glad I am to see a woman rising to the ranks! Do keep it up, I'm super excited for the Auridon series!

[@sarahducky86]

Your detailing is sublime, yet somehow doesn't seem absurdly out of reach. That is such a fine line to walk and you do it with class. So glad to follow you, keep up the great work! Can't wait to see how you flesh out the islands.

[@yaduvarma9854]

You have struck the sweet spot when it comes to usage of Mods... One of the best series I have come across in a loong time..

[@AlexBurns]

loved this ep!! i really struggle to place tourist and nightlife buildings but this was soooo good. i am absolutely installing BOB, what a mod! also when i watched you place that giant rock outside the beach cafe i laughed my ass off thinking "alien rock" and then you sank it down and i was like..."oh yeah, thats pretty nice!" lol

[@Meeesa]

I've held out on the BOB mod as well... I don't know why, I have like 2500 mods/assets...what's another one?! 🤣

[@nealjroberts4050]

You're one of the few detailer players who actually plays the game rather than build a design from scratch. I like that! Wood's Cove for the early harbour/ferry area. This is on the assumption it was a landing area for early Woodhaven (

[@Warren_L.]

Raising the bridge is perfectly fine, but you might want to consider a moving drawbridge instead? Can't wait for the ritzy island neighborhood.

[@callumheathis]

CS doesn't have any functional drawbridge assets as far as I'm aware. Which means that you can put one in and pretend it works but you'll get clipping on it.

[@StefanInOz]

@@callumheathis Check this out: kzbin.info/www/bejne/g4i8fZpnoNyfaZo The link to the mod is in the descriprion below the video 😀

[@brown1971]

Your detailing is inspired, so innovative. I love the use of the sunken rocks around the Waterfront Bar. The addition of the flood lights and the disco dance floor take it to a new level. All of it, so well done!

[@pgotexas]

Now that I have taken the time to watch all five of your videos I wanted to comment... I am blown away by your mastery and knowledge of assets! How you combine different assets from different themes is incredible! As for your attention to detail, I am completely amazed! Shout out to Biffa for the recommendation to your channel! I cannot wait for future builds!!!

[@fewcandy]

Thank you for the kind words! Glad you are enjoying it 😄

[@vitreoustali]

I've watched plenty of Cities Skylines Let's plays and I must say this is just SO good. Your attention to detail is very inspiring!

[@cukka99]

Another eye opener of an episode. I am amazed how small and seemingly simple manipulations with MoveIt can have lead to such transformative results.

[@Warren_L.]

A suggestion for the commercial waterfront area, or next episode's upscale community: Auridon Cove.

[@pepijnvh1743]

I feel as a shout to your favorite asset, the rotating donut squirrel, you could name the leisure area 'Squirrel Rocks'. Absolutely love the videos so far! Probably my favorite atm.. don't let Biffa, CPP and OE find out 😉

[@gis4951]

I'm starting to see a pattern in your series... DETAILING. I'm really lovin it all. Can't wait to see the next episode. 💕

[@kiraph]

Very creative! The waterside bar is fabulous!

[@WeROnRWayBack]

Had a really bad morning. Just came home and noticed you have uploaded another episode... feeling better already ✌

[@Kimar7779]

Another stellar detailing episode! Siobhan is definitely the BOSS in Auridon!

[@samwrightjr]

Awesome thanks! At first I thought no way it's too small of a space. But wow way to pack it in! Very cool and cozy 😎 Brilliant and spot on

[@kyyuun]

Big fan of the secret beach club, it's so pretty! Keep up the good work ♥

[@onlybradparker]

If I'm not mistaken, the police cars SHOULD absolutely be all reverse parked in a uniform manner. I know in the military we were supposed to reverse park so that we could drive straight out if needed in an emergency, so I imagine that it would be the same for the police. It was just when you said you'd put them all in randomly so they didn't seem uniform. Keep up the good work!

[@mikaromano5456]

The detailing here is..... sooooo amazing. Love these detailing timelapses you do!

[@spytemp2011]

Already obsessed with this series!

I got too excited when I saw you put in multiple pedestrian crossing. Something that is often overlooked. And the disco floor is awesome too

[@andrewvollo263]

Blown away! Your eye for detail is incredible. Thank you again!

[@Mackieee]

Loving the detail in this - enough to be satisfying but not over the top detail so that it's still a Let's Play :D A local taxi depot would be a nice touch on the other side for all the drunkards!

[@erickok]

Fantastic city in planning and detailing and I am learning so much from how you use your tools. You deserve a huge (for CS) audience and I'm sure you will get it. Maybe throw in a traffic fix episode to satisfy the algorithm 😄

[@TheBeetress]

I just caught up with the series so far, and this has been uploaded. Very enjoyable so far 👍

Oh thank you, very flattering! I'm definitely no designer, quite the opposite, i mostly work with spreadsheets! 😂 But I do love design and creative games. Glad you are enjoying it!

[@jjconway8946]

I love your series so far. Your attention to detailing is great and use of assets is something to behold. I didn’t like the beachfront bar and how you jammed it in there, mainly for the road being at an unmanageable grade for realism. But keep up the awesome videos.

Quality stuff this, subscribed and liked. Love the ratio you've got between showing what you are doing as you do it, detailing montages and then explaining what you've done afterwards, works perfectly.

[@jcosunshine]

Fantastic episode as usual! I'm so excited to see where you're going with this map, your detailing work is incerdible, right up there with Overcharged Egg! My first thought when you did the beach bar with the big rocks around it was "The Sea Grotto", but I don't think that would work for the rest of the area, which is super cute btw. Love your work, very interested to see what you come up with next!

[@cjaliaga]

Amazing content, I love everything, the design phase, explanations, the detailing... You can tell how much dedication, effort, attention to detail you apply to every single minute of your videos. I'm so happy that CPP and Egg spread the word and we can all enjoy the outstanding piece of art that your videos are. I'm truly excited to see what comes next, specially with trains 😍THANKS!

[@TS_Mind_Swept]

Something I always think of when I build bridges or raised roads now is Phil commenting on how prohibitively expensive bridges are "it's a lot cheaper to push some dirt around then build a bridge". Looking around that does appear to be true too, since most of the lead-ins to bridges are earthen, and the bridge span itself is fairly short. I know it's your build and you're going to do what you want, I just thought I'd mention it. I also realized that you sound very similar to this one guy I used to watch ages ago...well, at least your accent..for obvious reasons 😂😂 (And rip the poor doughnut squirrel, poor thing gets no love NinjaGrumpy)

[@Fr3DDy73]

wonderful 5th episode. FewC u are really skilled! If I may try a suggestion, in that LOVELY commercial spot you just did, I would detach the leftiest (your back at the river) low buildings block from the Club and lay another path in between. I actually, honestly, believe the Club would do better standing alone, but I can cope with the other side solution. But on the left side, imho, the smallest buildings would form a perfect "island" surrounded by paths and props. Just my 2 cents, ofc. Loving your work, super quality.

[@craigbarker7918]

Thank you for the shout out.

[@meady50]

Another amazing video, as always! Also, I think a cool name for a neighborhood (or really whatever you think would be fitting) could be something like “Auridon Meadows” And it would maybe have a more rural neighborhood/garden city kind of theme

[@petehopkins9283]

#savethedonutsquirel 🤣🤣 loving the waterfront, really great video. 👍

Awesome detailing! Such a great series this is. Some naming suggestions: High Pines (residential), Bayview (commercial), Green coast college, Blueside Hills

[@ThiccPhoenix]

Goldstone might be a cool name for the commercial area

Howdy waterfront Candy! So this is the episode with the mysterious suburban off cam build . Ah yes the donut squirrel who wudda thunk these abominations would continue to make appearance’s right up to and including the financial districts. Anyway s great to see you sprinkle some Candy magic on the water front to detail away any sense of blandness awesome work as usual and yeppers I watched this after your recap live stream so it is an attempt to ketchup

[@fewcandy]

Thank you! Have fun catching up! 😄

[@arcticfox__original_arcticfox]

@@fewcandy Yes m’am I’ll try to Ketchup I’ve no idea how we as creators have the time to do all this and then squeeze out a little more time to watch other creators. If y’all know the secret behind juggling a family a career and creating content write it down pop it into a fortune cookie place said cookie inside a baseball ⚾️ and FedEx it to me (coincidentally they’re HQ is in my neighborhood ) and I’ll pick it up in the next 5 to 10 working business days and see if it works. Any extra time squeezed out to watch your content is time well spent or well squeezed On a serious note your one of the best creators I’ve seen on the tea side of the pond and definitely matches up well with us on the coffee side (don’t tell anyone I said your the best I don’t want any jealousy wars with Biffa and Mr Detailed egg ) *Disclaimer I will be using the statement “your one of the best creators I’ve seen on the tea side of the pond” in any conversations with creators residing in Teaside to over come any future court battles and therefore establishing that y’all all equal in my eyes and no one will be biasedly promoted over the other. Anyways keep up your awesome work I’ll try and fit u in when I can and of course your the best shhhhh 🤫 keep that bit secret 🤐 and that bit
