Creating a REALISTIC Functional Beach in Cities Skylines! | Solitude

[@OVERCHARGEDEGG]

Simply the best beach build I've seen in CS, and that market detailing was a fresh round of yes please. Loving Solitude so far Fewc! A worthy successor to the beautiful Auridon!

[@fewcandy]

Ahh thank you so much Egg! So pleased to hear you are enjoying it! 😄

[@bringerofreger]

Just constantly flabbergasted by the amount of detail. Stunning.

[@RoefLaser]

Notificación activada!... Quiero ver esa playa funcional, vivo en Cartagena de Indias y hay bastantes playas por aquí...

[@mad_god_mcmullen]

I am really looking forward to this one. Water is one of the weakest (or maybe my weakest) parts of the game. I cannot stand the ferry piers with an 80-foot drop down to the deck of the vessel. If you try to create it at a normal looking level it constantly gets flooded.

[@dalton-at-work]

definitely hoping for a major change to the water physics in C:S2!

[@pcdosgirl]

Yes yes and yes. 👆🏻

[@s_k.99]

This series is getting better and better with each episode same with the detailing just wow!! Just a note: some of the stalls in the market have solar panels on top don’t know how useful that is when they’re under a cover!

[@fewcandy]

Lol yes hadn;t considered that! I can probably bob those off... will have a look!

[@jstokes]

Hi Few! Kamaʻaina Beach! Kamaʻaina is a term used in Hawaii for a local resident (regardelss of actual ethnic background). My husband is Filipino, and was once a surfer, and has this open, very cool vibe about him and when we are in Hawaii he is treated as though he was a long lost brother, or uncle ( Manong). He is welcomed into any gathering, and is given automatically the "Kamaʻaina discount", which means hotels and those inflatables and and the cafes are practically free. So its this welcoming spirit where all are family and since this beach seems to me more of the locals beach, rather than a resort complex, it seems like the ideal name! Either way, if something could be called Kamaʻaina (prounounced Kama -Ina ) that would be so fun. Mahalo!

[@fewcandy]

That''s so cool! Thank you for the suggestion and the background, love it!

[@s_k.99]

For a name suggestion how about Upepo (uu-pe-poh) which means breeze, such a fitting name for a beach area where you can escape the heat and humidity.

[@fewcandy]

Love that! Thanks S_K!

[@EternalMashing]

Such a beautiful city, I really enjoyed this premier. Thank you for all of your hard work.

[@fewcandy]

Thank you!

[@TealEternity]

Love how the beach came out. All the amenities fit so well especially the tiki hut. It would be nice to see a boat yard or fishing yard maybe close to the bay in Solitude.

[@currently_heather243]

I love the custom plaza in the heart of the beach centre with the blue tiles/fountain jets! So pretty! The 1 tile market in front of the station is a new favourite too! Can't get enough of the series FC! A somewhat cheeky name suggestion for the beach is Soli-Nude Beach 🫢😜

[@jstokes]

😀 What fun!

[@thomas_bergkvist]

What a great build! I especially like all the market stalls in front of the station ❤

[@e-bow]

Almost caught up! Really nice blend of a few high density residential into a smaller town. Loving Solitude thus far ❤

[@filmacs17]

'Playa de Dulces' for the town name. Excellent build so far!

[@ben0329]

Those beach assets are amazing. I think something on the beachfront should be named Hangout Point in an acknowledgment of all those hangout markers you had to BOB off. Also you might want to check the bus line as those little shuttle buses don’t seem to be keeping up with demand

[@erickok]

You have shown again that it's the details that matter. Beautiful.

[@beverly5504]

Seen on the latest Enquirer at the grocery store checkout: “HUGE Vortex swallows hundreds of Solitude residents at local beach!”

[@DAJ1607]

The beach should be named “Luo Lahi” beach which is Tongan for big hole! 😂

[@fewcandy]

Omg yes haha! 😂

[@tobiasalexander4491]

That functioning beach asset is great! I have to say though, the second you put down those lifeguard towers I just thought. "They're like the ones in Jaws". How about calling the beachfront area "Amity" in honour of the film (and it's a nice little name)? You could also maybe find a prop shark to put in the water. Some interesting lore for the town there maybe too!

[@CatLadyJude]

Amazing attention to detail. Love how your detailing lifts something great to extraordinary ❤

[@SaeedZ91]

Great series. I don't know if you planned it or it's accidental, but the sunset is right towards the beach and that creates a great view :)

[@alcheratios29]

a small resort on the other side would be lovely...

[@TheOfficialHudsonJames]

I am a singer songwriter and a co host on the podcast Stories Round The Table with Hudson & Joni. I work many many hours a week. I also have or had a channel on CS1 I dont upload like I should. I work way to much. But your videos on CS1 are my outlet I get done with work or have free time on the weekends and your videos give so much much enjoyment. I dont even need HULU or streaming. The detailing you do makes all the cities you do look just so real. I give you props you spend a lot of time making these cities look just amazing it seems like when I watch your videos I have to play the game at the same time. Makes my game play so much more fun. Keep it going Thanks so much for taking the time and effort that you do. As a creator as well I fully understand how much time this really takes. Thanks again so much.

[@fewcandy]

Thank you! Appreciate that!

[@dr.fabrizioprado1361]

You could call it the sunnytude beach. Great video!

[@simulatorgamerz2497]

Amazing video with detailed city infrastructure loved it 😍 ,,, but pls upload two episodes in a week I'm addicted to this series..

[@fewcandy]

Aww thank you! I will get out as many as I can, but day job has been busy unfortunately recently!

[@bigalthecrusher]

Great episode as always! Beach name suggestion: Eagle beach (like the one in Aruba)

[@janvanheijningen8588]

Amazing build! I especially love the change of architecture from the beachfront to the train station! Also I think u did a great job with the music choice for this series.

[@fewcandy]

Thanks Jan! Good to know you are enjoying the music 😄

[@Greeno85]

How about Solidude Beach? Great episode as always!

[@-ampm-]

I added a few of the beaches and it completely destroyed all the traffic in my city. They do attract a lot of people

[@fewcandy]

They definitely do! Thankfully most of mine seem to be using public transit, but I can see us limiting the amount of these we put in for sure!

[@IsaiahWells]

Yes! The moment I was waiting for!!!!! Residents on the beach, 👍👍!!! I can't help but watch this over, and over, and over, and over!!🤩

[@rohitsarowa3416]

Another wonderful Episode 🔥

[@HudsonJamesGaming]

Love your music choice I have used the same song in one of my videos. I really enjoy your videos.

[@alcheratios29]

WAIKIKI suits the beachfront...

[@SaltyMaltyMo]

Such a shame that vanilla doesn't have any beach huts and the like

[@joseph_22698]

I have name how about (El Sahel Town), which means beach front in Arabic

[@demolishedman50]

Bellaria or Bognor 😊

[@clncdl89]

34:35 🤣🤣🤣

[@fewcandy]

🤣🤣

[@werter5075]

public toilets

[@fewcandy]

Good shout! 😂

[@SephStuff]

Thank goodness climate change doesn't exist in Cities or all those buildings on the beach wouldn't be around for long!

[@Craftycatz1289]

*comes in like an owl getting prey*

[@fewcandy]

🤣

[@CaptainQuark9]

My experience of growing up in Africa tells me that the yard/playground of the high school should be gravel rather than concrete, and African-style rondavel shelters.

[@georgehutto2157]

May I suggest Serenity for the name of the beach town? Serenity and Solitude kinda work well together! 😊

[@artistfkaW]

I like having multiple mini detailing time lapses rather than a huge one at the end

[@Steira95]

i'm so excited for this one!

[@theGrumpySaint]

Looking forward to this! So exciting!

[@fewcandy]

Hope it lived up to expectations! 😄

[@godboko]

Amazing video as always, really enjoyed this! So much amazing detail!

[@lavendertee]

so excited for this one, water is my weakest part of the game so I can learn how to improve

[@usbureauofemploymenthistor6694]

Same, this episode was so informative and inspirational.

[@fewcandy]

Thank you! 😄

[@pcdosgirl]

That realistic beach asset! In the workshop, the creator shows a video of the same asset on a hill overlooking their city and that also looks great! In that circumstance, the ground stays grassy! So many applications 😍

[@TulsaFinds]

Bob is such a powerful tool!

[@fewcandy]

It really is! Opens up so many possibilities!

[@pcdosgirl]

I used to date a Bob.... And yes, he was a tool. 😉🤣

[@the_titan_atlas]

The music in this episode is catchy as hell! Amazing development, and loving the realistic beach, even if the original crowd markers are a tad excessive!! What a genius way to bring life to your beach area. Love the vibe of the town and the little pops of height to give it a focal point. Quality content as always!

[@fewcandy]

Thank you Rich! ❤

[@linnau85]

God I love this build. Can’t wait for the next episode ❤ you are really simply unrivalled in adding such depth and texture and sense of place in your builds. You’re hands down my favourite find of 2023 I binged auridon and now I get to enjoy you create another wonderful city in real time. Thanks for the content you produce ✌🏻✌🏻

[@fewcandy]

Aww thank you so much linnau!! Very kind of you to say and so glad you are enjoying the content! Thank you for watching and commenting!! ❤

[@AlbertGMag]

Loving it so far! A note on the beach: I only recently saw DirtyH use some decals/assets for “wet sand” and a waves effect on his Ibiza Party island video and it looked super cool! They’re the Big Decal Beach by Ronyx69 on the workshop. I haven’t even tried the assets myself yet but I think they’d make the beach look EVEN cooler!

[@fewcandy]

Yes great shout we could use those! Thank you!

[@michaelkingdeseptionvocali1137]

Educated citizens isn't realistic 😅 Great video aside from that. Keep em coming 🤘

[@fewcandy]

Very true! And we will be having areas without any easy access to education, so all of solitude will definitely have fewer school places than cims overall!

[@mattedison]

Makiti Beach ❤️ and i think the water should have a bit of green/turquoise tint due to how clean the water is 🌊🌴🌊🌴🌊

[@fewcandy]

Lovely suggestion! Thank you

[@EternalGamingNet]

Let's go! 🎉

[@gregorydeckelman4262]

Beach name.... Candy Beach. Well done!!

[@RaptorTom181]

Not including those using PO, your detailing is second to non. Great work as always!

[@fewcandy]

Thank you so much! That's very kind ❤

[@JoeriVanCleven]

How about 'Solkiki Beach' as a name for the beach front town, in refference to Waikiki beach in Honolulu, Hawai? Watching you, Overcharged Egg, Biffa, City Planner Plays,... is the way I enjoy Cities Skylines. I don't have the patience to create a beautiful city. But watching masters like you at work is sooooo satisfying! Thank you for that!

[@fewcandy]

Love that suggestion! And thank you so much! To be named up against all those guys is praise indeed! Glad you are enjoying the content 😄

[@JoeriVanCleven]

​@@fewcandy You all have a different style of playing the game, your detailing skills are out of this world! For me they are the best of the four of you!

[@edwardbickford8277]

With all of the Bob work today I think it's fitting to name something after him. Is it possible to name the grass roof tiki bar... "Beach Bum Bob's" ??? Bob could have built the bar with all the natural resources available to him.

[@jasonlescalleet5611]

All those props, trees, and such got washed away in a big storm and wound up on the beach, where Bob made them into a Tiki bar. So instead of Don the Beachcomber, we have Bob.

[@fewcandy]

Ahh i love that!! Thanks Edward!

[@StarStuff.]

Made me want to go on holiday 😊 Them workshop assests are hitting just the right spot, the details are amazing, everything feels so alive (and not because of the garbage) Music was 🥰😌🤗😍 Cinnies 💗💓💗

[@fewcandy]

Aww thanks Star! ❤

[@gorgonzola86]

Solitude Fun Fact of the Day: Bob "Brian" Robertson was the keyboardist of "The Surfin' Boys", Solitudes leading Beach-Boys-covering-band. He ran for mayor of Solitude in 1991 and won and held office till 1995. After that he went on touring cruise ships with his old band. In 1999 he was thaught to have been gone overboard, but was arrested for faking his own death five months later in Singapore. After serving his time he is now working as a high-school music-teacher and moved back to Solitude.

[@fewcandy]

Brilliant as always Gorgonzola! Thank you!

[@jzeltman]

Excellent episode, and probably the best beach fronts I've seen in CS. Very well done :)

[@fewcandy]

Aww thank you Joshua! Very kind words indeed!

[@jdrufus]

The FPS on MY game started lagging a little when you put those fountains in. LOL Beautiful work, as always!

[@fewcandy]

🤣 thank you!!

[@jordanbinner4175]

This is next level! You've definitely beat this game multiple times.

[@fewcandy]

Haha! Thanks Jordan!

[@everithh]

Every episode I find myself going "wow" out loud at some point 😂 I thought the older market stalls looked great! Gave variety and really made it feel like a cluster of different stalls packed in. The whole beachfront also came together so well, as did the high school (I LOL-ed at you bobbing almost everything off HAHA)

[@BaDArxz]

Another day, another unexplainable flying car

[@fewcandy]

😂

[@FranklinLongallnitelong22]

"Quarks Beach"

[@accidrainn]

Super motivational thank you! This will be looking even more great with the new pack ! Maybe, you can do a remodel after it comes out? I love the fountain plaza & Market, area & the sitting area with the tables and, chairs under the roof ❤... I didn't see this but, maybe I missed it ..But, what could be cool would be a pedestrian plaza or just cute area with all your great details.. Using Some of those ice cream 🍦 stands , food trucks and, assets that let you sit from Park Life would be great by the beach ❤ Maybe? 😅I also, saw a great plain unmarked drive in type diner, it's got that old charm , side of the road feeling...don't know what pack it came from but,I can look tomorrow.. It's almost 7am need some sleep 😂This was just awesome 👌I live about 20 minutes from Long Beach , California and, this reminds me of it so much 😊👍🏻

[@Cynthwayve]

El Blackpool.

[@thebalance6869]

Some of the Cities streamers I watch on YT stay with vanilla builds and don't use as many mods. But, I REALLY enjoy how you use mods and the sheer depth of detailing you do in your builds! I like vanilla building too, but all of the extra depth you get is really fun to watch. I'm fairly new to following your channel. All the Cities builders on this platform are relaxing and very enjoyable to watch :) Thanks!

[@juliahenriques210]

Wow. The amount of detail in this is just mindboggling. To spend hours in just a couple blocks like that is what differentiates you from other CS creators. It's your own unique thing, and we're all for it. :D The beach does get incredibly crowded. Maybe they were going for something like Rio de Janeiro's waterfront (in which case there should be even more people lol; it gets so crowded in there that you have to tread carefully so as not to step on anyone). Also... Those beaches generate lots and lots of traffic. As much as it's actually realistic to have such a small attractive place totally gridlocked (think Bournemouth Pier in July), you might want to do something about that in the future.

[@redRebelChronicles]

You should see how many people go to the beach in the Netherlands when the temperature hits 25C+. That assets is actually pretty realistic 😅

[@jcosunshine]

Incredible beach build!! I'm really understanding how you use the mods now, and I get so excited to go use what I'm seeing you do in my own city. Lovely work, Few!!! Loved it as always!!!! 💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗

[@philippmatveev6065]

Hi FewC, I am impressed by how the beach can look like in Cities! For the town name, could you consider playing with "solitude" and the fact that the beach was overcrowded? Something like "Crowdy Sands" or "Few Crowds"?

[@martinschellert9045]

Great episode FewC aus usual! Just a thought: have you ever considered creating the plazas, parks, schools with playgrounds etc in the asset creator and releasing them to the workshop? Would be great to use in my own cities, and also, for your cities, they'd sure look fantastic with sims enjoying themselves there.

[@toxic4704]

Fantastic build! Since it’s a very lush green beach you could name it Verde Beach in honour of City Planner Plays! Or in full Spanish it would be Playa Verde if you don’t want to directly copy the name 😂😂

[@Mscdave84]

Omg this turned out so good. Those functional beaches are amazing! It’s definitely giving me a little Coronado Beach vibes in San Diego, especially with the art deco buildings!

[@DaNeShady90]

Hey FC, what mod makes you zoom in like that? Nice beach btw, would love to take a vacation there :)

[@ERFTHM]

Just love the farmers market - up to your usual standards with the fantastic detailing. Makes me want to go visit to buy some produce! Great build Few...

[@CityZilla]

It has been to long since I've watched one of your episodes. Great job Few C!

[@fewcandy]

Ahh thanks CZ!

[@Kyurselfifudontstanloona]

I’m feeling names for the city like “Cobalt Sands” , “Palm Coast” , “Oceanview Shore” and “ Radcola Bay”

[@toddswinley7341]

Beautiful as always, so life like. A suggestion, add a third gravel down ramp from the pedestrian crossing bridge onto the centre platform.

[@IsaiahWells]

I honestly wanted to make it to the premiere but I could'nt make it because I always do something at 7 am. So sorry! But currently watching it again.

[@bapskylines]

Omg we can drag spawn point now!!! Perfect content as always FewC!

[@ilkerozgen2165]

That beachfront really looks like my hometown but much more tropical. Market stalls should face the other way. People will walk in the shaded area and will have access to both sides.

[@Dave-xc7cj]

Great work as always, you sure take it to the next level! Maybe call it Stokes Bay lol, we have got one cafe and a kiddies water park on the beach! Oh and an ice-cream van 😄

[@duszhduszh]

Trafo is a common name for Transformer in German :) Love the direction you're goinf with this build, FewC!

[@camilogarcia1803]

I'm worried about the students. There should be fencing around the school. And I would add a playground for those students that are not good at sports.

[@breenicoll2107]

Name suggestion for the beach area: Submersion Bay - as lots of people and their dogs seem to go there to fully submerge in the water for long periods of time 🙃

[@zuraphartenadze5684]

cmooon.. any additional mod do i need to do such editions???? i can't edit in such way you do

[@filipecaramelo5443]

There are some assets called SoCal Laguna Homes that I would love to see you work them into the build!

[@chrisgill6239]

another awesome episode candy your builds both inspire and frustrate me as i cant do anything near as good as this

[@paullally5958]

Beachfront town could be called "Horseshoe Bay" by the shape of the water inlet

[@kaydxn_rblx]

Amazing beach front this gives me a lot of inspiration!

[@drjonritz]

I can picture a cruise ship in the harbor, giving reason for alllllll those tourists!

[@floydbyrd9358]

Beautiful build. Beach side name...let's try Candy Shores

[@brianatkinson1398]

You have never been to The West Coast in the US, it is so crowded at the beach it is insane.😂

[@haeffound]

Name suggestion: lonely sandbar. Fits with Solitude.

[@Rozebayley]

Love the usuable beach!! Another amazingly detailed area.

[@jimwanshue2376]

Nice carnival, but I'll bet the hospital isn't thrilled with it. 😂

[@glynwilliams857]

There is some nice condos you can get on the workshop for the beach front.

[@drjonritz]

So satisfying to watch it all function, spawn points and all... :)
