Grids DON'T have to be BORING in Cities: Skylines

[@adamraksi1222]

Your commentary with your voice is a great addition to the video!

[@imperatur]

I‘m glad to hear that:)

[@ptterz]

I agree, the voiceover makes it better.

[@HbCAMM_CT]

I miss the silent videos tbh. Don't get me wrong, it's not like there's something wrong with his voice, but it's just more simple, calm and kinda nostalgic. And a bit different from other videos I have been seeing at that time.

[@ptterz]

@@HbCAMM_CT I get that but I also like to hear the thought process behind the decisions. Maybe there could be longer timelapse videos that combine several shorted videos similar to the one he did of the previous city. Those don't need to have the voiceover.

[@bricks_and_cities]

Imperatur's process of building and planning is so unbelievably astonishing to watch. This whole area could've looked so boring, yet Imperatur made it look so appealing to the eye and so well integrated. Amazing.

[@lourencovieira5424]

he's such a genius

[@1080GBA]

i found out that the whole reason is the tree detailing

[@tessmerstephan4875]

Danke! Für die Guten Tipps

[@imperatur]

Klar doch:) danke fürs zuschauen:)

[@harleymills8862]

Honestly was confused when you said you wanted to redesign the old industrial area, but after seeing comparison it's night and day how much of positive impact the changes make to the city. Can't wait to see more of springwood progress

[@imperatur]

It‘s much better now i think😌

[@Biffab223]

Love that you play vanilla. One of my fave CC KZbinrs. Thanks for the great content.

[@samuelhedenskog9980]

I love the new format, that you speak for a little while in the beginning of each section with the rest being just music. It's great!

[@Jl57562]

Hey my friend, greetings from a huge fan in Canada! You're skills at cities are legendary. Especially in vanilla. I am blown away by most of what you are able to do with the base game mechanics. It's a joy to watch your videos! Keep up the great work.

[@picklepotpieofficial]

A small thing but I appreciate that little services area right at the end. Power, trash and sewer in a nice compact spot on the edge of the farmland, fits right in.

[@sardarjireloaded2928]

This looks pretty cool. Excited about what will happen next

[@imperatur]

🙏🏻😋

[@gioabboud8220]

that path on the concrete river sure is testing my ocd

[@ThatREALAnnoyingGuy]

That little zoom in after snapping slightly to the right when building out that grid was priceless! 😂

[@alexanderlow919]

even the god of city skylines make silly mistake XD

[@Boaz_963]

At the beginning I first read “Girls don’t have to be boring” 💀 Love the videos by the way, your amazing! ;)

[@ma14.27]

I'm just about to build the farming area in my city, I'm definitely gonna steal some of these tricks.🥰

[@imperatur]

Awesome❤️

[@REAL-UNKNOWN-SHINOBI]

Which I could play right now, but my computer is basically taking a dump on itself.

[@muhd.izzatsafwan9639]

Oh cheers we'll be for sure, BTW loved that map

[@DBT1007]

What makes grid boring is, if it's too square. Like in many places in US. They even ignore the topography features. It's ugly. Europe is not all about organics. Europe also have some grids system too. Like in Barcelona there. BUT they combine the grid with some shapes. Even when they just cut the diagonal line through those blocky grids, it still attractive. Dont make it too grid, people. At least, make some shapes around your gridness. At least diagonal line or something.

[@bullheaded]

Awesome build! The commentary is great! Keep it up! 😁

[@silvanvanderhorst7366]

0:20 this shot gives me LA vibes

[@minecraft4life194]

Just got the notification for this series, going to watch episode 1 and 2 now

[@ebrand3673]

Dude, love your content; tons of great tips for vanilla city-building! Question: from where do you get your design ideas? Google Earth, or some other source?

[@ebrand3673]

Like… it would be cool to see your planning process before you build (if you have one). Show what you’re looking at in GE, show how you adapt that to the design of your city, etc. And maybe some live building, with commentary as you work? Love your natural voice over!

[@tigonologdring9189]

Simply the city building equivalent of "Nom!"

CITIES SKYLINES 2 PRE-ORDER TRAILER WOOO

[@toddcasper4870]

Just found this guy, and I straight up don’t think I’ve ever felt more excitement before watching a CS vid. Insane what he pulls off using vanilla rules and assets, and it’s awesome to be him use literally every tool in the box to pull together an insanely realistic environment. Super super impressive

[@DLMarston24]

Great job on the videos, love the slow play videos, it helps me to follow in the game. Could you number the episodes, so We know if we missed any. This is for last when there are dozen of episodes. Keep up the great job

[@Kellstrix]

I agree definitely need to be numbered

[@aaroncrawford9575]

Imperatur’s videos are the best. Yeah I said it! Fight me!

[@trainformerd4134]

I love grids cus they are simple easy to place the water pipes cheaper to build easy to zone and when walking u will never get lost :)

[@Wasbever_14]

My man out here reinventing things again!

[@ssisnake]

Dang dude, thanks for the daily uploads, just don't burn yourself out! Love this series been watching everyday.

[@jeremyhill118]

Another golden episode. Love it :)

[@imperatur]

I‘m glad you like it☺️

[@aliertocarlos75]

It's not a tutorial, it's an exhibition of your great ability in playing cities skylines. I suggest you to give more explanation while you're designing. Your videos doesn't teach anything. It's just fun to watch. I, as a beginner, need to know more about how and why things happen in this game, not just watching luxurious designs.

[@TypoVafla]

I love this city❤

[@adaxax1532]

Just got an email from Paradox, grid will be much more than 4 squares, at least that's what I can see on gif in the background

[@imperatur]

Yeah its 6 tile

[@Owenzzz777]

He’s playing a totally different game 😂

[@Zaher74]

You Inspire me to build greater cities, thanks for the content you've done over the years !

[@muslimmasud2908]

OKEEE LET'S GOOOO

[@standingout1389]

I wish that C:S had a "Favourites" menu, so that your could save your most-used assets and find them quickly. Tree's, airport aprons, your most-used roads, etc. Is there a mod for that, anyone?

[@zeehart]

A very exciting "serious". 🤣

[@JuaneeGhim]

Your vids helped me a lot! Thnx

[@okamishiranui7841]

Impressive build as always. Anyways, I don't think it's because grids are bad, well at least part of the reason. But I think it's more towards how flat the area is; flat areas feel pretty boring to me. I mean, even you make use of the terrain like the elevated train tracks for instance. And previously you also made the flats less significant by adding those large drains. What do you think?

[@imperatur]

Yeah the are is really flat.. i hope it won’t get to boring too soon :(

[@Tobby1923]

Im trying to build a new cool city like evergreen county but my graphic settings suck overall. Do you have certain themes/theme mixes and LUT's you use

[@martijn439]

this looks so good if you said this was city skylines 2 i would beleive it

[@cline3032]

whats the song that plays at 4:15? I can find it anywhere

[@davidlawand2805]

absolutely beautiful you never fail to impress me ❤

[@giancarlosergi4491]

Your builds Always look great and now that school Is ended i can focus on buildings cities. Maybe One day i'll be as good as you

[@imperatur]

Awesome, have fun😋🥰

[@DoctorChelo]

Beautiful city. Congrats!

[@hithisiscameronsmom]

Another great video 😊😊😊

[@OettesCities]

Very nice... I really like the new city...

[@imperatur]

I‘m glad to hear that :D

[@hofriendly3287]

Great work👍👍👍

[@TheBlueDragon86]

Correct me if I’m wrong but doesn’t putting trees and vegetation on fertile land reduce the output of fields? Just something to think about

[@Nyxlord]

I thought this too😬

[@KaitouKaiju]

Yes it permanently removes the fertile land resources

[@Szati2613]

amazing work man!

[@imperatur]

Thanks bro!

[@Memecheckpoint]

bro always just casually builds the most stunning cities

[@rowdyprouty9478]

I cant wait to see what magic you can make in CS2! :) Best vanilla cs player imo.

[@starrwulfe]

I say this on every video I guess, but still -- these are good techniques even if you're playing modded. With all the DLCs available, combining them in interesting ways like these makes the city look GOOD

[@teedragon4421]

What are those empty squares you're putting down? is that apart of the plaza dlc or is this modded? I like the design options that it adds! Also how are you placing fields without street access and not getting the popup?

[@AlonsoMorán-z8c]

Do you mean the concrete squares?

[@MVMHansOlsson]

👍👍👍

[@wurzelbert84wucher5]

You are truly the master of vanilla Cities: Skylines!

[@tomkpunkt]

You are the master of districts ;) i getting confused with all of your district and style policies...

[@imperatur]

Hahah yeah i thought that too while editing

[@andimension]

i don't have the opportunity to play cityis but i like your videos ❤❤❤

[@vladimirmijatovic4171]

I'm really curious how are your farms doing. If you plopped a bunch of garbage processing buildings and 2 inland water treatment plants (sewer basically) @11:35, I'm expecting farming industry to have issues with it in that area. Farms don't like ground pollution and this whole area creates a lot of it. I'm not saying you did anything wrong, but I'm curious about the consequences of building ground pollutants near farming industry.

[@DefinitelyPlay]

this is more impressive than it looks, no mods used to build roads?

[@stereokel]

You can overlap districts? Never worked for me. Is this a mod or what is the trick to this?

[@jiun88]

No, he’s overlapping pedestrian zones with districts

[@stereokel]

@@jiun88 oh ok. Havent played the game for 3 years.

[@AlexLubis-uj8my]

Nice lil' town. I would love to live there. 😁

[@WeilianTing]

I DON'T KNOW WHY??? He just simply click click click, and everything become so natural and pretty.... but i have planned a lot took so much time, and my city still look like shit...

[@jcc5018]

I just want to know how do you get a panning shot where you have your before and after builds. I imagine you need to film the same camera movements to make the edit work, but is there a camera path feature I don't know about to make this happen?

[@KaitouKaiju]

There's the ACME mod

[@GoZombies]

How do you do it??? These look amazing! Have a good day :)

[@kgaming7599]

5:25 is that the default theme? if not, what assets are you using for the houses and what theme? they honestly look amazing

you would need a lot more Ram /cpu /gpu if you install a lot of mods i have a i7 5000~ or somting 8gb ram and a 870m and it runs well 20ish mods

[@Itumienasi44]

@@gmg6863 Thanks for your help! Today i use Ryzen 5600 with old 2GB GPU, NVMe storage, and 16GB 3600 Mhz of RAM. I have a plan to replace my old GPU with RX 6600 8 GB, but this game will run smoothly with my Computer hardware? i always have trouble with this game in FPS and i want to try playing the game in Mid to High resolution. Previously i use my laptop with i5 Gen 11th with RTX 3050 and 16GB of ram and i just get around 25 to 30 fps (sometimes drop when i zoom the public area with a lot of residents). Some people say the game very consumes a lot of RAM, Is 16GB still medium range to run this game smoothly? i only have around 7-10 mods in my Steam and some assets. Thanks before!

@@gmg6863 And if the specifications will be not affected more changes, should i jump to the highest series of VGA and add more RAM's?

[@Robert-wm8wr]

I'm a little confused. wouldn't your power plant and industry cause ground pollution that would affect your farming area, as well as your residential area? i'm fairly new to the game, but i thought things like industry (yellow generic, not farming), and power plants, (and trash too), needed to be kept away from residential areas?

[@ramazanali8476]

Asset list can you share

Good idea to rip up that area and make it farmland. Breaks up the area and give a more organic feel.
