One Final Tour Around My Best Vanilla Cities Skylines City Ever | Verde Beach

This series has been a staple of the channel since December 2020; however, we've hit the game limits and must bid Verde Beach a fond farewell. In this video, we'll tour the city, and I'll provide my thoughts about the build along the way. It's the end of an era, but it was a great time while it lasted!

We knew it was bound to happen. The limits had already made themselves known, and with C:SII on the horizon it's actually almost the perfect time to bid farewell.

[@CityPlannerPlays]

[@ARex545]

We knew Verde Beach would not be the same. A few people laughed, a few people cried, most people were silent. "Now I am become Cities Skylines 2, the destroyer of Verde Beach".

[@americanboy1332]

More like "node limit" which is the actual reason for the end of this series as well as the fact that the game was not optimized for such large cities

Have been following this series since Episode 1 and it is one of the best vanilla city builds. Hope to get a "New Verde Beach" series in CS2

[@raynjpg]

That would be pretty cool, I'm all for a New Verde Beach. Doesn't even have to follow the plans of Verde Beach former, just has to be a completely vanilla build imo.

[@alienamzal477]

Wait, this is actually a nice idea. We can imagine that old VB was completely destroyed or become unlivable due to some disaster, so they moved to a new location and re-started as a new city. With an initially master planned core that went on to grow out in different ways around it

Verde Beach was my moment of calm during the world of covid while I also went through a breakdown. It’s bizarre to say it was therapy but there you have it. Thanks for letting us visit, but like anything, you always want the best thing you’ve done to be ahead of you and not behind… Looking forward to respecting the topography and calling a mulligan with you in the future.

[@rgupta87]

Agree it was very much like therapy. very calm and peaceful to watch. sad that its over, excited for whats to come.

When I was recovering from a bad health hiccup, being stuck in bed, I found Verde Beach ep. 60 something. I couldn't operate a mouse so having 50+ episodes in a playlist, all entertaining and relaxing, brought me a well needed escape from a tedious and painful day to day recuperation. Thank you, you and the people involved. You made my life a little better during bad times. Verde Beach looks fantastic!

[@maddiecarr3829]

I listened to the Verde Beach series in the background while writing my master's thesis. The chill music and the dulcet tones of your voice made the tedious data analysis and writing so much easier! Thank you and can't wait for the next one.

An emotional farewell tour. I love Verde Beach - Clearwater County has been fun and educational, but I would have to say this is the build that I personally found most inspiring, and has me most excited to dive into Cities Skylines 2 more thoroughly now that I'll be here for it from launch day. I can't wait to see what we'll all be able to do together in the new generation!

"A ship that sails past the horizon isn't gone; we just can't see it anymore." That quote was said at my grandpa's funeral. I believe it applies here. Verde Beach isn't gone. We just won't be able to see it anymore. Goodbye, Verde Beach. Thanks for all the laughs, for all the tips, for all the mulligans, and for all the times we got to call Phil a dumbdumb for doing something wrong (:P). We will miss you. But we will never forget you.

[@greentree1516]

VB is the best CS series on KZbin. Thank you for creating such engaging and fun videos for the past three years. Cheers to CS2!

[@Strattifloyd]

I've been following the channel since the Bluffside Crossing times, and this series has been an integral part of my life since day one. It's insane how many parts of it are tied to my personal memories living mostly alone during the pandemic. Just wanted to say that through Verde Beach you answered my curiosity about how a planner would play this game, taught me real life concepts about the field, inspired my creative projects and my own CS builds, and most importantly, really convinced me to pursue a career in Urban Planning. Thank you so much for your effort and passion!

[@ekw77]

This is the CS YT equivalent of the series finales of MASH, Cheers, Seinfeld, and Friends rolled into one. What an epic series. Thank you, CPP!

[@brodymackinnon1989]

I found this series during the pandemic and the first episode I watched was the development of Drake Oil. It’s been a long time coming but it’s crazy to see how much you’ve improved not on but your skills with the game, but your skills as a content creator. I absolutely love the new editing style and it’s amazing to see how detailed and grand your builds are now when I remember not too long ago you still struggled with the slope terrain tool. I’m sad to see this series go but excited to see what comes now! Wishing you the best in CS2!

[@8_aj]

It’s coming to an end 😢. I just wanna express my gratitude and appreciation to the making of this series because I really enjoyed watching it. It feels amazing witnessing the city to grow to such scale. We know it’s about time to say goodbye to the series. It’s sad but Verde Beach will be missed.

[@shounakchoudhury4486]

Hey man, thanks for creating this series! the early episodes really helped me get through covid. That was also when i discovered your channel and it has been a blast since!

[@SaurabhNatekar]

I recently discovered this channel, by stumbling upon the first episode of Verde Beach. And I'll tell you, I've binge watched the ENTIRE series, all 141 videos, 126 episodes, in the last week. Yes, 6 days. I've watched the entire series front to back, and as I read some of the other comments here from those who have been here since Verde Beach started, not gonna lie, I'm getting emotional. It feels like I too, have been watching this for years now, and it's very sad that I have to bid farewell to something I've so thoroughly enjoyed, so soon. CPP, thank you for this. I shall forever remember this, and you've gained a subscriber for life, and I'm gonna miss Verde Beach. Farewell.

[@CityPlannerPlays]

Thank you so much for the kind words, Saurabh! I'm glad that you enjoyed the series and am happy that you're around!

[@Karlayhey]

The reason we’re all so attached to Verde Beach (and all your cities) is your great skills for story telling and world building! It’s a quality I admire and wish I could bring more into my own game. Very much looking forward to what stories you tell with CS2!

Thank you for sharing Verde Beach with us. And thanks for caring so much about it, it really shows. I loved this final tour of the city, it felt like reminiscing with an old friend or something. It also really showcases how much work you've put into this and how much you've grown as a builder since the first VB episodes. I'll miss it, but it's clearly time for the next big thing.

[@CityPlannerPlays]

Thank you for the kind words! It's been a journey to say the least! Looking forward to taking lessons from this build into the next one!

[@marinary1326]

Thank YOU, Phil, for creating such an engaging, expansive series in this game. There's really no other series quite like this that focused on showcasing the possibilities of the vanilla game, and also telling the story of a city. Verde Beach has grown, developed and redeveloped into something that nobody could have anticipated at the start, and so has this community.

[@ElDimitrius]

This serie was my "To go to serie" while i had my burnout. This was relaxing and calming for me during that period. So i'll be watching this with a tear in my eye. Thank you Phil for keeping this amazing serie alive for such a long time. It will be dearly missed... ❤️

I just wanna say: I found this channel about 3 weeks ago with your previous video, and I've watched every Verde Beach video since; it's been a heck of a journey, now knowing that you've spent the last 3 years of your life building Verde Beach, and I can't express how much I've enjoyed every minute of it. Thank you, Phil, for the informative yet relaxing videos: they've proved to be my way of unwinding after a long day while learning something in the process. Much love from Honolulu, Hawaii, and I hope there's more to come!

😪 Thank you Phil for Verde Beach! I'll always remember watching it for hours and hours during the pandemic and giving me a break while writing on my bachelors thesis. So many memories!!!

[@gwynethm1]

Phil, the Verde Beach series helped me in so many ways. It was my first CPP series, and will always be my favorite. It helped me get through the lockdown! It helped me get through the death of my father. The botanical garden that you memorialized him with in the scientific neighborhood made me so happy. You did an amazing job in VB, and thanks so much for sharing it all with us!

[@Trd_Play]

Binging this entire series over the past few months was a very fun experience for me. An excellent series which gave me a lot of ideas on how to improve my own cities in CS. Sad to see all these series slowly end but also excited to see what you come up with for CS2.

[@jessicawadleigh1246]

Thanks for this, Phil. Much, much love to you and the citizens of Verde Beach! This was an incredible accomplishment. I really appreciated being able to tour the whole city - there were a lot of places I forgot about, and seeing them again took me back in the best way. I have spent so many hours with you now, in all of your builds, and this was my favorite of all your creations. Verde Beach feels like a real place and I will miss it. Thank you for your knowledge and your insights and your storytelling and your curiosity. You’re the best!

Whenever a new video came out and I got around to watching it it felt like coming home. For that I wanna genuinely thank you Phil. Also for all the stuff I learned from this series about how to make vanilla Cities Skylines do what I want. Now Im sitting here with my head spinning, bawling my eyes out and all I can say is: See you in the next one. Take care … bye bye! 🫡

[@alienamzal477]

I was introduced to this channel through the first ever 5B1C. I was a Biffa viewer (whom I found through hermitcraft). VB and BC were the then ongoing series on this channel, (though I didn't vibe with BC as much as I did with VB) Good Bye to the series that made me fall in love with CPP and stay with the channel. VB shall be missed. On a bright note shall hope that C:S 2 shall not have similar limitations like VB had to contend, so that the next city that gets built on this channel doesn't have to end before it is built up to the point where there is no more ideas left.

[@Bananaman412]

I'm just getting around to fully watching this video and going back through all of Verde Beach and man, has it been a fun time. It was so long ago that you started the series and it's amazing how long it lasted and how big VB grew to. Your builds and videos have been so interesting the entire way and have only gotten better throughout. Thank YOU, Phil, for all of your builds, for taking the time out of your evenings and life, not just to make these videos, but to work with us and to chat on Discord. The VB ride has been really fun and I can't wait for what's coming with the next set of series with all your ideas for CS2, I know they'll be great!

[@AlikBrundrett]

I really appreciate this series and all the love and work you put into it. Not just the build itself, but the thought you put into all the storytelling for us. Like many people, your channel has been such a calming constant for me during three really tough years, and I always look forward to your videos. Gameplay-wise, you’ve also really inspired me to approach CS with more narrative purpose. The story behind the city is way more interesting than just keeping up with the RCI meter and laying out grids. It really does feel like an end of an era. Thank you so much for this ❤

[@MordechaiKarp]

This has been by far your best build and my favorite of all CS builds. I watched every single episode and for multiple years, Tuesday has been my favorite day of the week because of it.

[@rhodridavies9426]

I've watched this series from the beginning, and I must admit, it's been a joy! It's sometimes hard to believe where this city came from, the stories and lore that have been built, and the fact that it makes so much sense! From seeing the old freeway going down to downtown being replaced multiple times until it was little more than a glorified street, the way the lumber, farm and oil facilities have been redeveloped over the years, and just the general growth. It's been a wonderful journey! Thank you for allowing us to join you on that journey.

[@OkByeNw]

It's been an absolute pleasure watching Verde Beach grow little by little. It's cool to see what the vanilla game can be in the hands of a really skilled player.

I think he is genuinely appreciative of all the support. I am sure he never imagined a community of strangers from around the world embracing his work and cheering his progress. People are up at 2:30 AM local time to watch his live streams. Who does that? That is some awesome support and it connects on a personal level.

Such a great build. Can’t wait to see what Cities 2 builds turn into.

[@edmontim84]

I happened upon your channel one fateful day back in mid 2020 during one of the many lockdowns we had. I was honestly stuck on how to build a decent city and was watching so many creators but your calm and funny demeanour sucked me in. I didn’t know what mods were, I just watched and laughed and built as best I could on my Xbox. I remember the first episodes of verde beach, pausing and building along with the video trying to get it just right. I ended up buying a decent enough gaming laptop because of you. I’ll never forget the beacon of happiness and laughter you were in those early days of Covid and the amount of inspiration you’ve given me in the way I build things in this game. Respect the topography Thanks Phil Tim

[@SilverWolf473]

I started this series at episode 79 at the start of Playa Del Fuego, and immediately became hooked to this series and channel. Although I missed the first half, your design in vanilla was a strong motivator to push myself to actually focus on the little details and beautify my cities, since I put hundreds of hours into my builds without mods and still (mostly) play that way. It's sad that this series has come to an end, but I'm glad I found it and have stuck around to see it through. Thank you!

[@Huntdoog]

Goodbye Verde Beach, this has been one of the best Cities Skylines series ever, it has been the highlight of my day, and I'm going to miss it. However I'm exited to see what you build in Cities Skylines II.

I’ve been watching this series for years now while finishing nursing school and starting my career in the middle of the pandemic. Coming back to it many nights when I was absolutely ridden with anxiety, and actively dealing with the nightmare that my life was during that time, this series and your calming voice gave me a sense of normalcy and relaxation. You helped me get to sleep and block out the horrors I was witness to, and I’m so grateful. I never ever comment on videos but this time feels special and I just wanted to thank you for sharing these videos! I can’t wait to see your channel grow more and your success to come with Cities Skylines 2.

Thank you Phil for putting so much time into Verde Beach and actualizing our ideas and suggestions. Like many others who have been here from the start this build means so much to us like it does to you and has set a precedent in the entire CS1 community. So from the bottom of my heart thank you for doing what you do. It's sad that VB has come to an end but with all this experience and knowledge we can dream big for whats to come is CS2. Maybe even a Verde Beach 2 in CS2, as some comments mentioned? I think everyone here is on the edge of their seats to see what you'll do next and we are all so exited to see it and be here for it!

But here I am and I wanna say thank you. Your content is amazing. After work, middle of the night, when I felt good, when I felt bad, on sunny days, on rainy days whenever a new episode came out I’ve been there. I could watch your content all day every day. You’re just different, the way you bring up ideas, your excellent way of explaining and entertaining as well as Story telling. All I wanna say is thank you so much for this amazing ride called verde beach. ❤️

I picked up this series when I got the game on console a couple of years back (now on PC), but the way you built Verde Beach truly inspired me with this game. But it was also a joy just to watch you. I continue to be a fan, and to watch your content. You deserve all the success you've had, and all that will come. Thank you.

This was the first Cities Skylines video series I ever watched. I'd just bought the game and was struggling to get the hang of it and this vanilla build gave me a lot of guidance. Then Clearwater County got me into playing modded builds and I've never looked back. Thanks Phil and keep up the great work!

I started watching this series around when founders park was built, and its been my go to whenever I got stressed or needed some good background to do homework. You made city planning ideas easy to follow which has improved both my builds and my participation with my small city in town halls. I cant wait to see what you build in CS2 and how clearwater county shakes out

Wow! What a beautiful walk-through. This brought back so many memories of previous videos and from the pandemic. During chaotic times, it's nice to have a dependable series. A real comfort I got back into Cities Skylines because of these videos and your knowledge. You've also really expanded my understanding of how cities function in the real world. Thank you and I can't wait for more CS2 videos!

I will absolutely miss this build. And this farewell tour is something I didn't even know I wanted so thank you for that! I love the thought process for ever district and move you made. I look forward to Verde Beach 2.0 in CS2. Can't wait to watch you learn the game and evolve your new builds. Keep up the amazing work here and on Twitch.. and just as a person!

I remember playing along for the first 10 episodes. After that, I thought, OMG, there is so much to do! The fact that you were so thoughtful and curated the videos to focus on one or two things at a time was so nice. This is the first series of practically ANYTHING I've seen on KZbin where I was there from beginning to end, as it was happening. You helped me stay inspired to play, you helped me get through the pandemic, and I really appreciate you, your channel, your vibes... ALL of it! Can't wait to see what other Mulligans await in CIites Skylines II.

Best looking vanilla city! I enjoyed the journey very much. I watched your videos while I built my own city. Watching you improve your skills and opened my eyes to what's possible with the vanilla game. Thank you

All good things must come to an end, and this has been a heck of a ride. I stumbled upon this series quite by accident, largely binged the Verde Beach videos that were out at the time because it felt so refreshing to see a vanilla build get highlighted (even if you really started to stretch the term "vanilla" after a while), and this series played a large factor in me buying Cities Skylines when it and several DLCs went on sale. And I have no regrets, as even though the game has it's quirks (I still can't get over a city's highest import and export being the same good) it can be a very relaxing, zen experience to just grow and develop a city from nothing over time, especially when you try and get thoughtful about builds. I'm now looking forward to CS2, both playing it myself and seeing what you do with it. I know you've already started, but I get the feeling your hands are a bit tied on what you can do and show until the game is officially released.

This was the series that brought me to your channel and also what re-ignited my enjoyment for the game itself after it was just sitting in my steam library for some time then, because it showed me what you could do in the game if you really got into it and I wanted to be able to do that too. Thanks for the ride, it was great fun!

[@Derangedteddy]

This and Clearwater County are the YT series that defined CS:1 for me. Congratulations on completing such a monumental build that had such a profound influence on how I and countless others played this game. I actually got a little emotional at the very end of the video when the jazzy outro played for the last time. I'm happy to have been a Patreon for so long, and cannot wait to see what you wind up doing with CS:2. Well done, Phil. ❤

I came across you at the beginning of Covid-19 when I was studying from home. I instantly fell in love with Verde Beach and your mindset in Cities Skylines. I've been going to work for a year and a bit now and I keep watching and it never ceases to entertain me. It has flown by since 2020, thank you for that and I look forward to Cities Skylines 2 with you and the community. 😁😁

[@Valthalin]

Verde Beach has been great fun to watch all the way from the beginning. Catching some of the live events and hearing Phil react to the incoming Tsunami especially, not to mention the winding story of the town and the peek into a Planners work life that the series brought to us as nobody else can. It was informative and even educational, and also consistently fun to watch as it unfolded. I'm looking forward to Phil's CS2 City play through already, almost more than playing CS2 myself.

I stumbled upon this channel after binging Biffa fixes and my first episode was #84, burying the the rail lines at central station. Seeing the meticulous work done to follow pre-existing development and truly protect and preserve it was very different from any other approaches I had seen. I decided to go all the way back to the beginning because I really wanted to know how it all came to be. And I caught just in time for the series end! What a great journey! In the most flattering possible way, this was my favorite thing to watch right before bed. The calmness and sense of appreciation of things Phil brings into the build really cements the quality of enjoyment. Here’s to all the great things to come!!
