Never ever build something like this without mods! This expressway build was the biggest pain ever

Building infrastructure on rough terrain without mods and looking good is probably the hardest thing to do in CS. Imperatur you are the master in this field.

[@alexandreadragna5658]

Our guy gave his sanity for views and entertainement. Have a good recover, our vanilla CS savior, and keep up the amazing building!

[@imperatur]

Yeah I recovered as soon as I saw the end product😀

[@0raivec]

Often imitated, never duplicated, these builds of yours are truly incredible.

[@MarkJanssen3]

Your creativity is truly amazing. Your vanilla city looks better than any modded city on youtube in my opinion.

[@imperatur]

Wow thanks!!

[@jackiepaper1817]

Highways done right can be amazing things and your highways are perfect. There's no need to tear out all of yours.

[@murican2982]

Min: 15:35 I love how drivers sees another highway spam in their faces with a shortcut to the city and they turn really fast (just like the highway exit meme)

[@OettesCities]

Oh man, I'm feeling your pain right now. I had to cut out part of my last let's play as I was about to demolish a building and ripped a part of my wall in this process... It would have been the perfect instructional video for those who have always wanted to learn German swear words... 😂😂😂 Oh, and before I forget, great video... 👍👍😁

[@imperatur]

Haha ich schwör Bin so ausgerastet und hab das spiel verflucht😂

[@OettesCities]

@@imperatur passiert mir regelmäßig, aber das macht ja nun mal auch Spaß, die Sachen Vanilla zu lösen anstatt einfach mal stumpf Anarchy zu nutzen...

[@rickd7481]

I usually just watch from afar and don’t comment but honestly this scenic expressway / railroad junction in the hills is absolutely gorgeous! So dreamy with all the bridges and little plantations. I imagine this being in southern Germany around the Rhein area.

[@integre23]

I feel your pain. I tried to build a bridge to my airport on an island, but the curves were mismatched and I could not figure out how to fix it. Then I found network multitool’s parallel roads feature. This must have been hard without mods.

[@vincemorgan9640]

Chaos Theory, in practice. Gradually revealing an orderly system from what at first seem to be largely random and unrelated actions undertaken by a person thoroughly enjoying their neurosis. I begin watching these videos with the intention of learning something and at the end find myself altered in ways that often take days or weeks to fully unravel. I must say that I often approach the game with some trepidation after watching these very entertaining videos, but, there are not butts about it, I learn something invaluable every time. Thank you very much for this very talented content. Your builds are magnificent.

[@andrewbrown4439]

Your videos inspire me to create great looking cities even tho I’m playing on console. Please keep creating content that can be used on all platforms.

[@cassidionline2002]

I think it's wild that retaining walls aren't a thing in the vanilla game. They are pretty vital elements in actual city construction.

[@PencilPlane]

Holy! Thank you for this wonderful "Water Wall" idea! You are a Genius!

[@dipsy3127]

du bist ungelogen der beste cities skylines spieler den ich verfolge zwar gibt es andere deren Städte mir noch mehr gefallen aber die sind auch immer vollgepackt mit mods. Das was du machst ist krank und einfach mega kreativ👌wie kommt man überhaupt auf diese ideen??😂Als konsolen spieler freu ich mich sehr darüber dass es jemanden gibt der mir zeigt wie viel man wirklich aus dem spiel raus holen kann👍

[@imperatur]

Ja freu mich auch schon wieder modded zu spielen Was aber cool an „vanilla“ ist das man ohne groß zu detailen die stadt erweitern kann und so ein grösseres gesamtbild hat :)

Me too :D but i don’t want to live next to one

[@dege2839]

this was sick. Great job, it is so nice to see you building (in this case struggling) with this game.

[@sixro]

It's unbelievable the beauty of this city. wow

[@imperatur]

🙏🏻

[@leaverpool8059]

To answer your question: yes any city with a big population need highway connection. Just in terms of transport of goods, it is vital. Otherwise great build, i really expect a huge castle on this hill next to the scenic highway now 😂

[@ander4163]

building with quays in vanilla... is at least torture. Great job you did there

[@jakobnybo]

It´s a true inspiration to watch your content! You build such amazing cities. What is your strategy when you start a new map, do you build a city just to get everything unlocked and then demolish it all to start on your actual city? When I watch your content it often looks like you have everything unlocked when you build :)

[@jassio666]

[@BaDArxz]

Personally, highway infrastructure is vital to the health of a city’s economy. Providing well maintained routes means shipping and industry can more effectively move product.

[@romanrat5613]

Not only have you mastered the mods, but the vanilla game as well

[@maxwelltillou8210]

Your work is always incredible. How do you get the lighting and graphics to look so crisp and realistic ?

[@MrLlamatastic]

Thanks for putting in the hard work of making inland quays in Vanilla so we don't have to!

[@archieritchie8348]

I’d like to see you make this on console. Where there’s no argument over wether you still use mods or not. Also I still don’t know why developers don’t let those on new gen consoles to access more tiles, I’d love to build cities this size.

[@imperatur]

Haha i can try that on my ps4 lol

[@landonr2388]

very cool👍 your building skills are amazing!!!

[@GamingBren]

I’ve built similar highways, except I add pathways on the sides for sidewalks and lots of landscaping is involved. I call those highways in my city “parkways”.

[@Wasbever_14]

The small details are everything

[@youmightnotknowme9861]

a city needs some highway infrastructure, but not absolutely crazy like in north america. more like in europe, e.g. vienna

[@ITBEurgava]

Eh, I say let europe be europe. Don't they thrive on pedestrian well-being?

[@williamhuang8309]

To answer your question at the end: Highways will inevitably be needed for the transport of some goods or other general movement of items. However, when building highways, you should make sure to not build too many as having a city that has too many highways is not only a waste of money but also terrible for the general wellbeing of citizens. You should also take into account how much time it takes to travel by different modes- the highways shouldn't be faster than alternative modes or you start inducing demand, causing traffic and making life for everyone miserable. Furthermore, building highways downtown should absolutely be avoided. This includes highway tunnels which induce car traffic and clog up all the city streets. Highways should go around the city, not through it. Furthermore, you should consider whether a highway is actually needed or if the area would be better served by a different type of road.

[@bricks_and_cities]

Yikes. That sure looks painful. But, the end result sure looks good!

[@imperatur]

Thankkss:)

[@nekto4658]

11:30 This is soooo steep for a car

[@messiermitchell4901]

I think there's more traffic on the rails than on the roads!

[@abceyz9241]

Of course it needs highway infrastructure!

[@imperatur]

I love highway infrastructure so much😌

[@fish3880]

I think a city needs some highway infrastructure, otherwise the traffic would be bad.

[@imperatur]

Yeah true

[@davidroddini1512]

My one concern about the interchange he built at the end is… One of the on ramps to get on the expressway connects at such an angle that it is really only accessible from one direction of traffic flow.

[@imperatur]

Yeah that’s true I have to see what I can do about it

[@PuiDeZmeuYT]

i love this city. one question: do you have the city planned already or you are building spontaneously

[@imperatur]

I have a rough plan in mind and build each chunk in one episode:)

[@DrasticllyOversizedEgg]

Transit through a highway is the most American thing ever

It does look cool just whenever I see someone do it I think of waiting on the platform while cars are going by

[@AntneeUK]

That is a gorgeous build, though!

[@bradgray5549]

Any chance we can get a save game on the steam workshop? Also, I think you should keep going with the highway infrastructure, you are so good at it.

He uses different tools to be more precise, 81 tiles and shaders obviously to get the map to look how it does. But he only uses vanilla assets in his build.

vanilla assets and no anarchy. he does have more tiles, luts/themes and the map is a mod on its own

I think I'd download "Quay Anarchy" and just put a title card directing people to a video of how to do it the vanilla way if they're interested. Those of us who follow vanilla builders have watched a ton of video of people doing quays using the outflow pipe. We get that you can do it... but when it gets to be several tiered quays in each video it sure gets dull to watch ;) Just a thought
