The Most UNIQUE Residential Area in Cities Skylines! | Solitude

[@paullally5958]

This build is like nothing that I've ever seen before - totally blown away. You are an amazing talent!

[@fewcandy]

Wow thank you so much! Very kind! Glad you enjoyed it!

[@davidstrother9744]

Wow! What an amazing Favela build. After grinding for so many hours on this terrific build, I don't think your many fans would mind very much if you named this one for yourself. Welcome to FEWVELA!!!

[@Fr3DDy73]

I ENDORSE THIS

[@kassthered8452]

For the Favela name: "Ondas", which means waves in Portuguese. Since it's inspired by Brazil and looks kinda like a tidal wave coming down the hill side. Every single build of yours is just so impressive, the asset fusing in the Favela is downright inspired! Once you start adding more trains as public transport into the build I'd love to see a train line near or even through the Favela, would definitely add to vibe!

[@RavenScherazade]

I like this name suggestion~!

[@ANGELMADFIARGR2008]

me too but the lore idea of a Gang around the favelas is mine Ok?

[@dr.fabrizioprado1361]

What great work, I'm speechless. I'm a Brazilian, not from Rio, and happy to have remembered our country. The favela is pretty accurate and thank you for putting there a police and fire station, and a school. And to not put drug dealers and criminals (real life is enough). The church was also perfect, it's a very common popular church in Brazil and most of us are Christians. Maybe on a new beach, you could use Copacabana's sidewalks (I think they are available at steam).

[@MRR_24]

Amazing build! I think adding a bunch of telephone poles/wires throughout the favela would also look quite cool. And as for a name, perhaps the area was named after the church? Santa Rita - the patron saint of loneliness (which is a somewhat close synonym for solitude? Lol). Anyways, great job!

[@JMWZ_E]

What a wonderful build ... one little suggestion: the south-american cities of La Paz and Medellin have their own way of connecting poorer hillside neighbourhoods to the city proper. Cable cars, so high capacity that you might want to consult the workshop. This really help to unite society as people were suddenly able to start jobs that used to be too far away ... Mi Teleférico in La Paz started in 2014 and they already have ten lines creating the worlds largest cable car network.

[@JezArnold]

Definitely! Cable cars would rock here.. you should make the entire mountain side one huge favela. Would be awesome

[@JMWZ_E]

@@michaelw6222 La Paz has the huge network, while Medellin shows how an integration into a network with metros and trams could work.

[@vexcarius7100]

Maybe Lado da Colina meaning “side of the hill” or Ladocolina has a nice ring to it. Like the locals omitted the word “da” over time to quickly pronounce the place’s location and it eventually became the area’s name. It was few houses before, originally a small logging village. When people asked where do you live, people living in that area would just respond “at the side of the hill” Due to the demand of workers on the nearby train station / cargo, offering better pay, some locals started building homes near it. The sudden rise of the tourism and luxury living in the region spiked the demand for housing / cheap apartments for blue collar job employees. People from outside the region started to flock into Solitude trying to look for jobs in the hospitality industry. Some of the original land owners knowing the opportunity of raking in some money from non-local renters, converted their small houses to multi story room for rents. Others illegally settled in that place since there isn’t really a strict policy in the city during its early days. Lado da Colina became a common term in Solitude especially when directing non-locals that were looking for a cheap place to rent. It was shortened to Ladocolina over the years as some of non-locals and foreigners kept mispronouncing the words. It was a chaotic mess. High crime rate and a lot of shady stuff happened in the small district. The local government and rich investors in the region tried to dismantle Ladocolina especially the illegal settlers as they feel it was lowering the land value of Solitude. The people living in the area fought. Some rich people even hired arsonists to take the place down. The national government mediated in between as they see the potential for Solitude and would want the area to be peaceful. Both parties agreed to some conditions. Some houses were demolished in the area to make way to few local roads so that police and fire services can access the area incase of fire and crime. They also added some better building guidelines to the newer homes that was built in the area. Hence why the lower part of the district looks nicer. Ladocolina, over time was then recognized as an important part of Solitude as it became the cradle for workers that aspires a better life in the city. Now, the local government is planning to create medium rise tenements and apartments near the area to avoid further sprawling of the district and to reduce the environmental impacts of Ladocolina. Instead of disowning the district, the local government is trying to make it as a tourist attraction. Sorry I was inspired by the favela build 😂 My brain cannot resist to make a story about it.

[@victorpinheiro8395]

The city is truly amazing. Being a true "carioca" (person born in Rio de Janeiro) I can clearly see the resemblance 😊 Keep doing your amazing work 🇧🇷❤

[@fewcandy]

Ahh thank you so much! So great to hear from someone from Rio! ❤

[@_Asha_man]

Came to write that, but you got here first! hehehe Oh Candy I'd love to live in that favela of yours hehehe never thought I'd say that

[@victorpinheiro8395]

@@_Asha_man 😂😂😂

[@danielbarbosa1377]

As a Brazilian I must say that your creation reminds me a lot of our cities, the houses and streets are just very similar hahaha, well done (name suggestion: favela da gringa. (foreigner (few candy)’ favela))

[@WitchyoftheWest]

If city building was an Olympic sport you would be a gold medal winner! Love to see Solitude growing week by week. ❤

[@fewcandy]

Aww thank you so much!!

[@juliahenriques210]

What an amazing build, with so much work and care.

[@ForeverNERVOUSZan]

really channeling DirtyH vibes with this one! His Europe In Detail series is very much stacking houses on top of each other 🤣 Incredible build few! I admire the commitment and attention you push into all your cities! 💙

[@StarStuff.]

This, ladies and gents, this is exactly why I hit like before I hit play! My jaw dropped from upstairs to downstairs, would be in the basement if I had one. 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻 What an absolutely amazing job Few!!! Thank you ❤

[@26russell]

The favela really is brilliant. Looks absolutely amazing!

[@jasonlescalleet5611]

I think this may be the first build like this that I have seen that doesn’t “cheat” and use Procedural Objects to basically turn the game into Blender. To make something like that with just regular asset fusion, and not totally garble the terrain is really impressive. For discouraging too much education, I think I remember a policy to that effect-forget the name though. It encouraged youth to go into jobs rather than school. Perhaps apply that to the low income areas like this.

[@abfruits]

OMG THIS FIRST TIMELAPSE!!! Who needs PO, when you have Fewv-it... If I could thumbs up multiple times, I would.

[@fewcandy]

Haha thanks abc! No PO needed! 😄😂

[@Dechral]

I've gone back to Cities Skylines after a 2 year break and I'm getting so much inspiration from you for the vanilla build I've been working on the past couple weeks. Really looking forward to Cities 2!! Thanks for sharing

[@AhrisOsman]

It's builds like these and the unbelievable creativity and talent behind them that keeps me coming back for more. Absolutely hammered home. 5 stars. ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

[@EternalGamingNet]

The detail in the episode are amazing. That neighborhood on the hill is so beautiful.

[@esterlingo9664]

I spent some time in Lima Peru and it was just like this. Great build Few!

[@erickok]

I can’t believe how much work went into this… You are a legend.

[@s_k.99]

Literally I was like when is the next episode, opened KZbin and boom! Perfect timing!

[@fewcandy]

Yey!! 🙌

[@WrestlingwithPaul]

Your a Genius, I don't know how you create a master piece like this....

[@edwardbickford8277]

Wow! You put this neighborhood together like a 1000 piece jigsaw puzzle. It turned out great.

[@ERFTHM]

Looking pretty awesome! An understatement! Just WOW WOW WOW!. The variance in size, color, textures - totally inspiring. So creative as always!

[@TangerineUnicornDesign]

Absolutely amazing build FewC. It's the decals and detailing that really make it come alive though, your attention to detail is always off the charts. Maybe it should be called The Fewvela 🤣😂

[@CaptainQuark9]

Wow! I asked for something like this way back in the first episode of Solitude. Most mods and assets in CS seem to be aimed at prettyfying everything, so I was looking forward to this in the hope that you would use your detailing mastery to show us how to do ROUGH well, and you have delivered in spades! I suggest 'Cidade de Deus' as the name of the favela. If you haven't seen the film 'City of God' then you really should! It's a gritty, realistic, often brutal portrayal of life in a Brazilian favela, and an excellent watch.

[@ashleyparker3825]

The absolute best cities skyline video I've seen! & trust me, I've seen hundreds 👌

[@mvogaiht]

love your stuff, candy! you absolutely nailed the general vibe of the favela, but I think you need to add some context to its surroundings. there is a reason why these settlements pop up where they do and that's a key difference to regular, more urbanized low-income neighborhoods. basically these settlers will fill in urban areas that the upper classes do not find desirable to build upon. these are hazardous areas, due to landslide risks or polluted soil -- think landfill sites, sewage plants or very heavy industry.

[@bandvitromania9642]

Great build as always and since theres that railway going next to the Favela i was thinking a local train station would be great as a faster alternative to the bus

[@sarahb9070]

Incredible skill and talent. So different from normal residential and so realistic. Amazing

[@OkstadOo]

Probably your best build, not only in this series, but all together. Reminds me of old Sam Burr, back when he was still making videos.

[@fewcandy]

Thank you so much! Sam Burr was awesome, quite the compliment thank you

[@kingofmashedpotatoes]

I think this is my fav FewC build of all time! The layering, the detail, it looks better than Google Earth. Also reminds me a lot of similar places in Mumbai, with the stacked houses teetering off cliffs. The hours you've put in have definitely paid off, it's absolutely amazing 😍😍😍

[@fewcandy]

Ahh thanks Malay!

[@MattR336]

Just wow.. What a terrific build, you are so good at design! Can't wait for more!

[@breenicoll2107]

This looks amazing, but I would not have the patience to build this. It's great seeing you build new things that we've not seen you create before 🤩

[@carstenzimmermann4435]

"Most unique" may be a pleonasm but it's not exaggerated - this build is one of its kind. Taking a bow. You make me browse the workshop for stray cats and dogs (props or citizens)...

[@dragona-jf7mh]

Nice build. You might want to take a look Jeremy Thunder and his Scylla Republic build - It is a play off of Cuba.

[@fewcandy]

Yes that's an amazing series! Thank you!

[@sahilshelar5717]

Hello from Mumbai👋You can use this name for this region ''Asalpha'' is the colourful slum situated on the mountain in Mumbai, India

This is truly incredible Few. Mind blown (happening a fair bit atm 😆). I'll return to this one for sure...

[@smiley.6534]

That's one of the best builds I have ever seen in this game, beautiful!

[@Rozebayley]

Completely mind blowing! You my dear have again outdone yourself! Just WOW!

[@linnau85]

I’m just so impressed ... I want to like it so many more times than I was allowed lol. Can’t wait to see what’s next.

[@peperoni3140]

As a Brazilian and former resident of Rio de Janeiro, this has my stamp of approval. My only feedback is that the orange brick/orange roof textures seem a little desaturated, they are a little more vibrant in real life. But thats more for the asset creator. Great job!

[@fewcandy]

Thank you! Nice to hear from a Brazilian!

[@d9dga]

Hope your family and friends didn't miss you too much this week! 😯 "Where's mummy..? Mummy is building her favella darling, she'll be back for dinner on Tuesday" Top skylining!! Oh and a name suggestion: "Sob a Colina" is Portuguese for "under the hill" 😉

[@Genesis_Lightbringer]

Great build. Small suggestion,I think the lower fabela area should have their own service buildings.

[@chrisgill6239]

i know im late but my wife is from rio originally, a favella is basically just a unplanned housing development, alot of them are self built houses and use terrain that wouldnt otherwise be used so when you went to google maps that was the end of planned residential then the favella has been built into the cliffside afterwards. fun fact david beckham has a house at the very top ofone the biggest favellas in rio (it looks out over ipenema and lablone beach spectacular views

[@trottacavallinocazzo]

Hey few, amazing build so far,I love it! For the name of the favellas, how about “Solihoods”? Have a great evening and bye bye

[@trottacavallinocazzo]

Actually “Solithood” would be a better name

[@apaku]

You had to knock another one out the park, heh? 😉 All that work and patience you put into the favela is mind-blowing and the result looks absolutely amazing 😍. This takes 'building on different layers of height' to a whole new level! And the view isn't all that bad, got a nice farm and some green forest.

[@duszhduszh]

Jesus christ, you really outdid yourself here. This attention to detail in a highly chaotic area like a favela? Insane. I was waiting for such a build and this exceeded any expectation I had by far. Plus i think it was very clever to have a very dense vegetation around this area creating almost a claustrophobic feel up there. I hope this type of favela will pop up again elsewhere. Great (!) build.

[@fewcandy]

Aww thank you so much Duszh!!

[@JezArnold]

I’m thinking of the famous City of God film, so name it ‘Cidada de Deus’ … I’d also think about the police station being a little more fortified!

[@heidiwheeler1930]

Your talent and patience is amazing.

[@gregbuhr5464]

Far Out!!! 10/10! Your attention to detailing is incredible... This is so cool!😎👍

[@JohannHitz]

Maybe the name could be “Topo do monte” which is hilltop in Portuguese

I cannot imagine the time and patience this needed! What a complete treat for us all! Such an incredible build as always FC, but good one blew me away. Was the best remedy for this stupid cold I have right now too so perfect timing!

This is a very impressive build! WOW!

super dope build few. so unique and realistic. keep up the good work

[@xmas072pt3]

Wow great build FC. I have always marveled at how the South American towns and cities can be expanded up the side of a general cliff and survive. Brazil has a neat Colored theme going in a their communities that might look appeasing to the eye. Peace Luv it Awesome sauce. 🙂🙃🙂

[@Metadas]

Wow that had to be one of your hardest builds to date, And the results are amazing :), Loved it

[@goisfelipe]

As a carioca I suggest that the name of this neighborhood be "Favela da Saudade" Saudade in Brazilian Portuguese means missing a good thing that happened, I think it goes with Solitude

[@tobiasalexander4491]

Wow. Stunning, stunning stuff. Amazing. I think for the hours you put in, I'm going to echo the other calls. It can only possibly ever be known as the Fewvellas. Or if that's too on the nose you could just take the "F" and call it the F'vellas or Fuhvellas. Whatever you choose, be effing proud.

[@joepiekl]

I'd like to see a police vs firefighters football match on that pitch. Amazing work as always btw.

[@frederickw7213]

The most impressive build in what most people think of the least impressive neighborhood. What a Paradox!

[@rsxmessi]

Plz continue this build we want to see more like a huge slum area in a city which look really real if you do it Amazing job Hands off @Biffa you should see this

[@richieep]

this is absolutely insane. one of my favorite creators and this just reinstilled that for me tonight

[@MohammadShareef-gw4ry]

What a build!😍 You could use the schools from the africa in miniature ccp, would fit in well in this build.

[@rosielisamoreno]

At first I was a bit skeptical about this built, because i thought you were “ruining “ your amazing city hahah i mean, i actually come from Caracas and we have quite a lot of favelas surrounding our city. Even though i have considered building one in my cities in the game, I am used to think they’re not a great look for cities, even though i understand why they pop up in cities… but i think you did a great job replicating a favela, it looked very realistic, and i do appreciate that you did it. I have personally been on favelas and i have some tips if you like to make it even more like the real thing: you will often have really narrow alleyways, like only for people, and some houses have access to that. Also, as they’re on mountains, you will find stairways leading to more houses. As a rule of thumb, the houses that are at the bottom are “better looking “ than the ones on the top. Also, sometimes you will find a bus line going to the upper part of the favela, but they’re not really buses, but vans or jeeps that carry like 8 people at a time. Thanks for building this. Great city, love your videos!!

[@fewcandy]

Thank you for the tips! Appreciate it

[@ClareFlack]

Wow wow wow it looks absolutely amazing FewCandy 👏 😍

[@caiomorgado1535]

Wow, it just looks amazing. So realistic, especially, as you said, for some who hasn't been here in Rio. Also, since you were talking about education, did you see the new modern-looking high school that was added to the Africa in Miniature CCP in the last update?

Amazing, and I personally find really funny that there are ferraris apearing in a favela

[@Mrs.Tim.]

Unreal!!!!! Just incredible!

[@ANGELMADFIARGR2008]

that is what we knowed,a normal latam life for all of us, and it could be called,San Toribio because i'm mexican and i know that most of the comercial áreas are literally in houses

[@ANGELMADFIARGR2008]

pd:There could be a sort of a Gang in the favela área Called,Los reyes,a bounch of low living people where they control the poor latam district and make money selling not legal "sugar" and there are the cause of some insecurity inside the neighborhood,having control over the district and having small skirmishes with the local police. their LEADER could be called,the Angel José Chávez,a venezolan man who moved to solitude for a new life for him,but after a horrific event that happen'd in the city,he decides to go for a show of how things are Made in latam

[@fewcandy]

That’s great to know, thank you

[@kaiserteddie9564]

tou should do an educational complex near the favela, maybe with some public housing

[@carolshuxa]

Fyi the favelas are build that way because of how dangerous it is to buid on the side of the mountain, there are a lot of sliding of the terrain when it rains, so people from very low to no income end up building there because no one else wants to. It is not regulated by the city so that is why there are no roads or services. Just something to keep in mind and be careful to not romanticize the situation. It looks like they are all pack on top of each other bc they are, and they risk their lives every day from a collapse or slidings. Your build obviously looks amazing like always but maybe smt to research and bring up on the next favela build ❤
