You’d think a channel like yours with such detailed and perfect guides would have more than 23k subs. You need more exposure, you are of the highest levels if you ask me.

[@YUMBL]

Thank you very much :)

[@MssrSandman]

Same? When I first saw this channels videos pop up I mentally slotted YUMBLs channel into the popular/trendy category for whatever reason so ignored it until I realized just how high quality these videos are. So well put together with great commentary. Every video feels purposeful

[@jennymunday7913]

I found Yumbl looking for decent intersections and I've stuck around for the quality. I sort of know what I'm doing with the game but he's definitely made me more purposeful in my gameplay and I'm lovin the results.

Another great tutorial! Tip for those interested in Realistic Population. It's better to enable it at the start of your city, or when it's still fairly small. If you activate the mod on an existing big city with dense areas, you're probably not going to enjoy yourself too much in the next few hours. It can generate so much traffic from cims moving into buildings that your roads get totally blocked. This is actually the only time I ever used the "Remove all traffic" option from TMPE. As always, make plenty of backups when adding or changing mods!

[@YUMBL]

Great advice!

[@JelliThePilot]

yeah, realistic population is way easier to get used to if you just dive into it as you start a city and grow it as you build.

[@SomeGuyWhoPlaysGames333]

I did this in a city of about 80,000 people. It took several hours, but eventually the population more than doubled without me doing anything else, lol.

[@jennymunday7913]

A thing I've noticed - for large ploppable skyscraper type buildings using the realistic population mod you can sometimes end up with problems having enough space for your ambulances/police/hearses so its good to set a few spawn points for those with building spawn points mod. I tend to have at least three that only deal with those three services so I don't have a conga line of emergency vehicles all the time. My puppy says Hi Yumbl!

18:10 One of my worst mistakes was allowing Bulldoze It to bulldoze historical buildings. I had a massive area of plopped residential, and then I got hit with a mega death wave that went up to 7000 deaths at one time. Can you guess what happened next? Edit: I think I should mention that after that, I immediately installed Lifecycle Rebalanced Revisited because I didn't want another deathwave. I also turned off that option in Bulldoze It.

[@kirilmickovski3543]

As a newcomer, this is the first channel that helps but is not showing off. It doesn't put me off from studying the game.

[@Seriously_Unserious]

Funny timing in this one YUMBLE - right at the moment you're talking about how freight deliveries go to the back like IRL, there's a delivery van actually making a delivery. I also love using the spawn points mod to have regular commercial zone deliveries go to the back and run a back alley parallel to the main road (usually an arterial or connecter with commercial zoned along it). so the deliveries don't clog up the main road and back up traffic. Who really cares if a few trucks or the odd passenger car gets blocked going down the back alley? But who's going to care if the busy main street gets blocked off constantly? Right?

[@jasonfuentz7681]

Man, I have had troubles with theme management the entire time I have been playing modded. It was always a crap shoot whether or not buildings would spawn. Had no idea you needed the additional mod and settings. Of course this why I love this game. Always something new to learn and do.

[@gamingterri3710]

This tutorial came at the most perfect time for me... just upgraded my RAM so now I can use more districts... I had no idea I could use American Eclectic at a higher level...

Thank you, Sir. Your tutorials (especially this one) are always excellent. I actually feel more confident using mods because of you. Hope all is well with you and yours.

[@jasiek1405]

TL;DR Thank you for an amazing tutorial! Wish I'd found it sooner, that's on me tho :D I've been playing this game since basically its inception and have only just recently jumped into designing more custom cities. So far I'd been happy with what the game provides, but thought "Hey, I can make it look way nicer", and got into mods. At first, I was so bewildered by what RICO did and how to place the buildings, the buildings not working, etc., so I wanted to look for a tutorial on how to use those mods (the RICO, RealPop, etc.). And I stumbled upon your channel. And my world, your explanations are so clear, so easy to take in, even if there's a lot of info in them, and most importantly, are not boring and tiring to watch through the entirety! Remember, kids, you are never too old a player to learn something, and with YUMBL as your teacher, you're in for a great experience and info that stays in your mind.

Hi Yumble. Stumbled across your channel by chance and loved it for your in depth tutorials and frank friendly narrative! Big fan now :) Anyways was wondering if you might one day do a tutorial on building a rural farmland area, the kind you would find transitioning once outside the city limits so the end of the concrete city is not so abrupt or unrealistic. I have been trying that for my city but not really happy with the result. Just a suggestion for a future video. Keep up the great work. Cheers.

[@Samuel-hw6in]

Amazing video, love the level of detail you go into! R.E. the ploppable mod: That level of micromanaging is too much to do for every single building, although it seems great if I wanted to change just one or two things. I'd be very happy if there were collective database for all of the buildings in the game that would adjust the housing, number of workers, density, for all of them simultaneously to community decided realistic values.

[@deldarel]

I'm holding my breath for a mixed RICO mod, the application of which would make zoning hierarchical. Let's take the L2 3x3 Shop03 for example. It's a store with a living space above it. It would be amazing if it could actually be used. '16 workplaces and 1 family'. Or the ability to add jobs and living spaces to service buildings. I want farmers to live at their farms. Otherwise I'll add that to my wishlist for a sequel, alongside 'meaningful bike/ped integration', 'high-density low-rise' to allow for row housing and duplexes, and better use of the space given to growables. If I have a 16u by 16u square with a 4u margin for high density urban, I want an 8x8 park in the middle. If I have a 60 degree angle in my intersection and zone it res, I don't want this weird 1, 2, 4 triangle of squares with the first two being tiny unique buildings, I want one this corner filled with a 60 degree building. I'm wondering, what are your wishes for C:S 2?

[@daimhaus]

This was really helpful. Could you do a Video about Citizen, their behavour, how it works etc. ?

[@chingymofo1]

How the heck haven't I heard of Building Spawn Points??? That's a sick mod!

[@ian22222]

I don't think anyone mentioned this, but around 12:17 when you're not seeing the L1 and L2 American Eclectic buildings in Theme Manager, it isn't due to Advanced Building Level Control. It's because the buildings are under the name "Eclectic Construction" instead of "American..." so when you searched for American, of course they won't show up :) Additionally, the American Dream building is L1 so that's another way to tell. I'm positive that's less of a clarification for you than it is for anyone who might be confused about the functionality of those two mods together. Other than that, I loved this video, as I do all your videos. They're always so helpful.

[@roqsteady5290]

The other realism mod I use is Real-time, which gives much more realistic day/night cycles: your citizens go to sleep at night and don’t work at weekends. Do hate to see children going to school in the middle of the night and stuff like thar… Does make the game a lot harder though.

[@angrodNumenesse]

Definitely adds more complexity to the game. I had to completely change how my public transport was designed so it could handle the morning and afternoon rush. The city also behaves far more naturally as well. No more things happening at odd hours.

[@beajoh]

I finally started playing today with Realistic Population. Man, you have to build a lot of low-density houses early in the game Realistic, sure, but quite a departure from how I'm used to playing. And giving RICO a shot again. Thanks, YUMBL.

[@roqsteady5290]

Make sure to look at the number of homes realistic population assigns to low density residential. As Yumbl mentioned it often assigns a single home to buildings that are multiples, such as UK terraced houses. Helps to count the doors and floors :). The new version just released is a big improvement and you select the default way it calculates for different builds.

[@YUMBL]

I recommend starting with everything unlocked to overcome this if you need to.

[@beajoh]

Oh, I wasn't minding it. Just noting it was considerably different, but I was burning through map real estate fast. I would unlock everything on small-build maps.

[@denvergray8943]

Ploppable RICO is king. I'm at the point where I generally find 3 or 4 things unacceptable about 90% of zoned buildings in every city I build. I don't like that particular building's roof, or it's 2 stories too high, or it's the wrong shop, or it's not quite the right architectural style, or I want a townhouse with some greenery in front instead of a billboard, or I want a single tourist hotel and a single leisure bowling alley side by side with a European department store, for reasons...on and on. Deleting and waiting for it to rebuild as something else for most buildings in the city is obviously not feasible, and the district brushes aren't fine enough to really mix a couple of small districts close together.

[@Ash_18037]

Thanks for the explanation on Ploppable RICO, thinking about trying it as I already use Realistic Pop. Just a correction at 7:21 I see plenty of low density residential buildings where Realistic Pop has set it to 2 households where it makes sense, no need for me to change anything (such as a semi detached shared wall building with 2 front doors). These are vanilla residential buildings though, maybe the situation you see is custom asset related?

[@YUMBL]

I bet that the vanilla assets are set correctly, though real pop actually only knows the density (rico type) and height of a given model. Yes, my issue is with downloaded assets. 1 household is typically correct, but not always.

[@h2o742]

Thank you for the explanations. I've been playing the game for years but, never understood why I would want Ploppable RICO. And your explanation about theme levels cleared up a mystery for me! I had that exact problem. (why am I not getting residences built in a theme with high demand?)

Thank you. By far my favorite Cities tuber. You're explainations of the details of mods are invaluable. Now how do you get your cars to drive at reasonable speeds?

[@YUMBL]

Thank you! For speed the mod is called “speed slider”. Its at the bottom left of my UI. Always set to 70-80%. (Get realistic walking speed too)

[@angrodNumenesse]

I use Speed Slider v2 set at 60% so that my cims walk at a 'normal' pace. For the traffic I use Advanced Vehicle Options. I went through and changed the acceleration values for every vehicle I have in the game, even trains. Big trucks accelerate really slow and hold up traffic while sports cars zip around, just like real life. It can be tedious depending on how many vehicles you have but it totally changes how you lay things out and deal with traffic.

[@Artificial.Unintelligence]

obviously im burning through all your mod videos right now, had a few more questions haha 1. Cost and upkeep - Is there a mod that lets you edit either the initial COST of building or the UPKEEP? some assets (even vanilla) are insanely overpriced and unbalanced where as others are too cheap. 2. "ticket prices" - is there any way to change ticket pricing for various forms of transport? even its just flat rate regardless of distance or user (citizen vs student vs tourist, etc). I know the cims just pay regardless so this could be easily abused but you take that on yourself but IMO a hot air balloon ride should be kinda pricey vs hopping on a bus or monorail. Some of my services operate at extreme deficits for really no practical reason. Edit: i think i found a generic and slightly out of date ticket price adjuster (Ticket Price Customizer) for the base transportation methods at least, but nothing for making hot air balloons or access to panda exhibit etc cost $ (unless placed within a park, zoo, etc for indirect $)

[@YUMBL]

Theres a mod called “customize it” for costs. Idk about ticket prices though

It doesn’t spawn randomly (and it says the asset isnt loaded when I go into Building Themes to change my district styles). Is there any way to make an asset RICO-ready AND keep it as a normal growable asset to have in your zonings and districts? Would really appreciate an answer!

Those places are way, way busier than any of the regular supermarkets around here, though.

[@roqsteady5290]

I found it quite hard to get details of how many workers businesses employ. How many employees does an average Tesco Extra employ, for instance? Similar to a large Walmart in the US, I think. A good addition to the game (skylines 2) would be distribution networks for commercial operations, such as wholesalers and chain store depots.

[@YUMBL]

Employers dont say how many work in a given location for security reasons I believe, but SLIGHTLY more than youd expect at a glance may be a good bet ;)

[@darkwitnesslxx]

Walmart has 10500 stores and 2.3 million employees, or an average of approx 220 per store. This takes in account the smaller local markets, and the Supercenters. I know from experience that the typical supercenter Walmart has around 350 employees (24hr store) and the markets approx 100 (18hr store).

I downloaded one with out a road, it finds the path, but just sits there. I no longer can bring in tourists by ship. and I built a sweet monorail to the casinos

How to get the theme manager to work with e.g. Modern City Center DLC ?

[@YUMBL]

The existing entry “building pack 5” (or something like that) IS modern city center.

Corndogs and ranch. Were you hungry when you made those collections?

I’m always hungry!

06:13 120 workers?? holy shit dude. there's 2 little corner shops with 2 or 3 workers max. a pharmacy with 2 or 3 max. and then there is the mall itself with at most 30 people. it's not that big a place.

I need help,the mod ui on my ploppable Rico and realistic pop only show abbreviations. Ho do I fix this?

[@YUMBL]

Idk what that means. You should check with the people who made the mods.

I wish they have tiny homes. Specifically, I’m looking for a 3+ story tiny home that fits in a 1x1 unit. Imagine 1 unit is 100 square foot or 1 square meter. So a 4x4 unit is 1,600 square feet. That’s the average single story American home. I can place down a 3 story 300 square foot home in a 1x1 unit (because each floor is 100 square foot) OR place down a 2 story 400 square foot home in a 2x2 unit. In a 3x3 unit, I can place down a 3 story 900 square foot home. The possibility is endless

I think midrise housing in underrated in the USA.

“Sort mod order”

How much impact does realistic pop have on CPU compared to vanilla

[@YUMBL]

In high density areas it makes many more cims generally. Which means many more calculations to get them to and from work and school. But its also much more realistic. Lots of impact.

Hi, What about the "plop the growables" mod?

Ploppable rico revisited has it built in.

Dumb question time. How do you use plopable houses in the growing zoning area. I’m still growing weird houses. I just want the American ploppable houses.

[@YUMBL]

I have a recent video about buildings that explains it. “District Building styles” is the mod

It doesn't look like you have many services or parks near those suburban neighborhoods. At level three how do you keep them from complaining about low land value?

[@YUMBL]

Level control mod fixes it ;)

[@saddestchord7622]

@@YUMBL Not for me, sadly. I'll have to look in the options menu, I guess

[@YUMBL]

Exactly. Its in the options menu.

@@YUMBL Okay. That setting is in RICO, not Advanced Level Control. Either way I looked for it in both and still somehow didn't see it until now.
