[@valproton3841]

For beaches, you should download an invisible foot path. Turn it into a nature reserve so you can use it's assets, eg the fishing pier and the tents as beach tents. That way the beach will be used rather than just a decoration.

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

Cool idea!

[@bobblebardsley]

If this could also work on grass so footpaths aren't always gravel/concrete I think that would be really cool too.

[@jgreen2015]

This is what I do to get people walking on the beach!

[@theocallaghan6968]

You need to show us how to avoid clicking on these useless videos.

[@DanLoudShirts]

One Tea Hill! Got to be good name for something, surely?!!

[@AmandaOutThere]

Bus lines need to be shortened. Perhaps use the hopper bus to run people to a tram stop and back or new routes into the bus station? Looking forward to seeing use of the more challenging terrain. Great video as always

[@mies1mies]

please can you build a monorail line and a cabelcar line

[@amazingallosaur6196]

Now we are asking the important stuff!

[@thunderlipsjoe216]

This is def a cable car map!

[@amazingallosaur6196]

@@thunderlipsjoe216 And in the real world monorails only make sense when the height is different. (Exemple Chonqing)

[@thunderlipsjoe216]

@@amazingallosaur6196 I think the real world appeal of monorails is sight seeing with the practical use is gets mass transit off ground and roads? And this map is so well done I could agree it makes sense as a way to get from town to town, then cable car up to the hill and mountain tops?

[@Meda22]

Btw with new district style mod, the styles are affecting only zone types for which they contain some buildings ;) meaning if you have style with residential buildings only, other zone will spawn buildings from general “default” style (all buildings list). So no need to cut out any holes to district :) (like in Cherry Point one)

[@d9dga]

Surely the Seaside Resorts CCP would be good around the beaches.... Not sure I've seen anybody use them yet :(

[@JacksonOwex]

35:00 Feels like a City Planner Plays episode, nice and "warm" lol

[@aaronpaul5990]

I think there should be a entrance for the park from the school area so they can use it to walk across

[@user-mc1ik7qg7k]

yes! i was literally about to comment the same thing!!

[@SiqueScarface]

18:10 Especially at night you want to walk there, when the sparks from the 25 kV wires to your body illuminate your path!

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

😂

[@thunderlipsjoe216]

I think it's a preview/beta test of next DLC...The theme of the mod is subjecting the Sims to various OSHA and ADA violations and random acts of God until they gain superpowers?

[@marctibbits5752]

33:22 Biffa Made a huge bus hub but still uses only the two lines he has set up😂

[@SlateTiara]

I\m loving this build so far. If I could change one thing, it'd be a complete overhaul of the bus routes. You have a cool tram, let's use it and have some smaller busroutes heading off from it to the different destinations which are arising quickly now ☺ You'll be trippin over Meglalopolopolopolopolis is no time

[@m99marine]

In all your builds, you consistently just keep adding stops to your existing bus loops, without increasing the amount of busses on the loop. Small suggestion, make more loops so your bus loops aren't so long, and you then wouldn't have lots of people waiting at all the stops.

[@thunderlipsjoe216]

If you're getting the weird tree behavior when loading games where they just show up in roads and things, there's an old conflict between prop and tree anarchy and prop and tree line tool that used to cause floating trees and props. Test by turning off prop tree line tool and reloading the save... If I remember correctly that solves the tree misbehavior on load. Obviously the prop and tree line tool is awesome BUT having to mess with millions of random trees and props everytime you load into a new save it's a lesser of 2 evils thing.

[@kylebloms27]

You definitely need to see if theirs any creator packs for beach houses. I think it would make a huge addition to the city to have a nice beach community

[@Ascending11]

With the hilly part, it would have been nice to terraform the area and put a valley in the hills for the road to go through. Then, you can make the hills nature reserve and have a walking path going over the road

[@dmore]

It might be an idea to change the section of roads with all the switch backs to a local road to reduce the speed! Otherwise sims will be taking those sharp corners at highway speed! 😮 Adding some barriers (zoo fence) around the corners would be realistic too. Protect the sims from accidents! 🙂

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

Yes, plenty of detailing to do once we head off into that area. Thanks for the ideas :-)

[@andyshepherd2739]

I've wondered for a long time, do we need a mod that prevents crazy road inclines? A road realism checker? Too tight turns, roads lorries/cars cant make, highway ramps that are impossible, etc. Too easy to cheat ;)

[@Stevo2557]

Monorail! But in the park heights, the Sims across the street can't cross unless there is a junction

[@briansorensen1104]

20:57 Almost looks like the Millennium Falcon heading for Palpateane Farms.

[@krzyszstan]

-Fire: burning at 34:59 -Biffa: It's fine.

[@opallise]

Those red and green lines are getting pretty long. I'd love to live in that community along the beach. Lovely!🥰

[@TainaraFrostSWE]

Something I learned when I did switch backs is if you add an asymmetrical road on the way up you can via traffic manger have one side for trucks only letting cars pass (bit more realistic) and letting the potential emergency vehicles pass as well. I did this on a industry build and it turned out great.

A train station in the underhill district would fit perfectly 🚆

[@dragonlord4194]

For Naming Cherry point, I thought you could name the park Ivy Park and the community Cherry Bay since it's one of the prettier bays on your island

[@dragonlord4194]

Also a few cherry trees in Cherry Point/Bay would fit in nicely to give the town it's namesake

[@piotrgesik8136]

You could lower the whole train line it would look better and more realistic. From the farm all the way to the new power lines you've placed

[@mr_broco6315]

biffa you should make a video about riding the transportation

[@Afool4travel]

I think you should look into upgrading the dirt roads, in the main part of town. I think the citizen's would like to have cleaner cars and properties. :)

[@AdamHinckley]

21:38 call cherry point cherry pointie

[@Clavichordist]

I don't know what the issue is with hills. I live in one of the hilliest cities in the US. My house is located at the bottom of a hill with the street continuing uphill. My neighbors across the street from me live up higher than I do. Some of those steep grades aren't unusual for a street. My driveway so happens to be a 22% grade and the street above me is an 20% grade. I'm glad I don't live up there because we get ice and snow in the winter. That hill is 328 feet at its peak with a radio tower on the top.

[@socratesDude]

Road angles are important for realism but have you ever been to San Francisco? If there ever was freezing rain there it would be a disaster.

[@carriegarrisonvos4433]

Didn't the new DLC have some Charleston like things to use along the shoreline? Had some very cool hotels and restaurants and houses if I remember. City is looking lovely!!

[@thesunnynationg]

14:39 its maybe better to have a new line going into the farming area, like a shuttle Bus connecting a few major spots over the city.

[@madao7865]

31:02 Yay, Biffa beach episode confirmed.

[@lajdos]

@Biffa Plays Indie Games for the under hill district it would be cool to add a small local train station.

[@jamesproffitt6304]

20:46 You mean OVER 9,000! 20:56 See? Even the computer agrees!

[@shaneintheuk2026]

I’m really enjoying this city keep up the good work. With Buildings Styles Plus can you have more than one style active at the same time? If so you could create a commercial style and add that to Orange Point rather than punching holes in the district.

[@wayneyb1978]

Getting such a New Tealand vibe from this build! Love the extra attention to detailing, great job.

[@gyngertano5409]

I think it was a mistake to extend the bus route!!! You could have a new line that goes to the hub you so painstakingly made, or one that goes to the intercity bus terminal for getting in and out of the city (also I despise when buses have to to a 3 point turn🤣)

[@Acaykath]

When I saw you adjust the taxes down, it made me wonder... Could you make a tax-free city that is still profitable without doing silly things like chaining tollbooths?

[@matthewstillman6693]

Loving this series biffa. Feels like the new beach town has too much commercial in relation to its ruralness at this point. Not sure of your expansion ideas though

[@sanshyuum1]

with the park at 19:55, you could always name it "Gold-tea-locks Park"

[@bohs2000]

probably don't need to drag the red AND green routes to Cherry Point, ppl can switch from one route to the other by crossing the road, and will make one route a lot more efficient

[@rehflu5551]

Yes.this island has to be park! And more parks all together! More pedestrian walkpath!

[@thesunnynationg]

12:57 there is a perfect asset for the beach you probably don't have. its called "Strandkorb", its German for Beach basket. Looks way better then it sounds.

[@marctibbits5752]

Don’t forget to like the video!

[@shodges]

There’s very few crosswalks in park heights.

[@AbsalomIndustries]

Me experience as a Californian must be coloring my perspective. The only non-buildable area I see on your city tiles is the tip of the hill near your designated industrial area above the fishing district.

[@good4nothing887]

SvenBerlin has some props you could use for the beach area

[@mietoo85]

maybe add more beach around Cherry Point near water

[@greenfrog8871]

11:31 there is a beach just off the junction, maybe a resort area?

[@RunePenrod]

"What the dough man doin" police car chasing the donut van...Can't...stop...laughing 😂😂😂😂

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

:-)

[@kimberlysmith4497]

the point area needs to be named "Pointea Point" or Pointea ?

[@SimSanityYT]

I believe you could up your population if you used move it to tighten up the houses in the American Eclectic section and plop and or add a more homes

[@drakekay6577]

4:48 From this angle you can see a less steep, single slope area the same width as your switch back set directly next to it.

[@remkoyvette1918]

You really need Excellent! Merch, the amount of times said in an episode is monumental, love the video’s ! Keep m coming

[@kylek3627]

@34:10 add a side or back gate to your park!!!!

[@unclemikeyplays]

I brought in the District Style mod, but I'm not sure it's actually doing anything for me. What might I be missing, compatibility-wise?

[@marcuskintz]

@Val Proton: I didn't know there were invisible paths! That could also be very useful at the bus terminal in the areas that are currently just imaginary paths!!

[@nillebrein4517]

Those hairpin turns always reminds me of the Tour de France…. Always! Those 28% climbs…. 😅😅😅 happy for the fictional professional riders going up those…😂😂😂😂

[@AtomicG]

I'm looking at Cherry Point and Ivy Park. The park on top a mound. And a pun opportunity has arisen. Renaming the park to Maraschino Park, and renaming the surrounding district to Sundae Point.

[@lolman533]

13:24 WHEN YOU HEAR IT

[@sea75300]

The new city looks great ❤️ Biffa. The railway line, the road next to it and the cliffside park in the back looks like the perfect spot for another train station and bus hub 🤔.

[@marco_grt4460]

Before you adjusted the road i was thinking about Montecarlo Rally, when even the turns were in slopes

[@Wiimeiser]

The area around that spring/lake would be great for a nature reserve. Maybe from that stream up to that cape nearby.

[@darthsepp]

for cherry point you could get full-on japanese with the cherryblossomtrees and call it "sakura point", maybe even with a different style

[@mgunter]

Is there an asset that is a elementary and high school in one for a small community near the farms?

[@thunderlipsjoe216]

Very US realistic, small enough little farm communities used to go K-8/12 all in the same building. Game prolly lacks a mixed asset, but find the 2 smallest Elementary & HS and box them together, maybe a good compromise? My hometown used to be a farm town, so the old high school became the Middle/Jr High when the town became a proper sunburn/city and built a modern HS.

[@NotThomas5]

Name suggestion for Underhill square. Keeping it tea and snake related. How about Milk snake pass? Added to by the snaking pass up the mountain!

[@eyetok_alot]

you just got to love the use of the english language ... at 06:10 almost exactly the same 😅🤣😂

[@successmeditations110]

Lypton Pointe? Lypton is a big name in tea in Australasia

[@danielcraig243]

Love this series :)

[@gislemark79]

WOW. Biffa is NOT flattening everything.

[@benjaminsmith3625]

The poor bus passengers sitting on their bus for hours as it tours the whole city 😞

[@davidstead7890]

Put a old castle on top of cherry point park!

[@ryanbrochu3336]

How about renaming Ivy park to Hilltop park? Also, how about extending the beach all the way around Cherry point and then renaming it to Beachfront point?

[@reeceguisse17]

What's up, Beaches?

[@riecejoynes1681]

Might be worth looking into modern beach houses for big beaches if there's any on the workshop

[@weelassie]

absolutely loved this one could put tents and caravans by the beaches also the jet ski rental and beach volleyball etc there's also the sea fort so much potential

[@anderslindstrom3110]

You put in many paths but you missing the crossings on the road 🙂

[@KewneRain]

I never build cities to be "pretty", I always focus on "functional" so my biggest problem is Death Waves and traffic nightmares.

[@GiorgioBrown]

18:08 a very german solution to the problem😂😂

[@methosmomomax7470]

Biffa, place an observation point at the end of the path at 26:43 for the park.

[@Reppuperc]

What theme do you have on? Been trying to find that cliff theme

[@VoodooToad.]

Millennium Falcon looking city :)

[@al-asadi]

Hi Biffa, I don't know if it's possible now, but are you able to change the LUT/colours a bit? It seems like youtube makes things darker, or the LUT has a lot of contrast as the trees look black in the shadow. It might be just me though.

[@andrzejrybickiToOn]

Can you name the park in cherry piont "Pointea Park"?

[@LouDude502]

The city looks like the Millennium Falcon. 😆. I can't unsee it, cheers🤙

[@matthewdalton-eyre7445]

Hi biffa can't get enough of your videos but every time I watch I wanna start a new city hope you're well

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

Go for it!

[@georgethomas7814]

Can you push some of those houses closer and gain more population

[@Erekose2023]

Nothing visual, but rename the road at Underhill Square to something like Tolkien Avenue.. or Frodo Street?

[@brickisland6353]

What heights do you use when you have level crossings? With highway I use 12 meters. But lower if I have “thinner” roads.

[@simongeard4824]

I've suggested this before, but is there a reason you always carve out gaps in your districts to deal with "no commercial in theme" problems, instead of just using multiple themes.. one with the houses, and another with shops?

[@UVAchick89]

You should change the name of Cherry Point to PoinTea Point

[@robcooper1597]

city looks like the millennium falcon

[@martinchristensen9491]

Sine of your lamp posts are sticking through your railway🚞

[@ThatBrazilChick]

I watch these videos whilst my toddler nap and that random baby crying at 14 mins triggered my entire nervous system 🥴😂😂😂

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

🤣

[@OujouMon]

Park heights should be Snakus Teahills

[@davidg2708]

Why don't you create a theme for commercial? That way, when you make a zone and put a theme, you could choose both, say 'BIG' and 'Commercial'.

[@tifanny7804]

Biffa you have 2 million in the bank, why are you still using dirt roads? 🤣
