This was my favorite build of the series so far. The DLC is justifiably getting a lot of criticism, and while it's not worth $10 it does add some much needed variety to the game. Palm trees do so much to make a waterfront come to life.

[@twodollarstwenty]

Thank you! I agree I do really love all the buildings and palms that were added. It just feels like not the right dlc right now.

[@marijn29m37]

I feel like these 'beach property' assets are more fitting for US suburbs, and i've been using them for that since then. especially the NA ones, so good assets but a bad dlc : D

[@jameseddleman6944]

$10 bucks? Thats not sh*t people really think thats too much? A bag of chips and a drink is $10.... not that crazy for a forever lasting digital asset. It's not amazing but its not stretching the dollar, and the assets for me look more like desert homes if i had to make a complaint.

[@Ilikefire2792]

If anything it should've just been added in as a free update instead.

[@user-ig7gf3qt8j]

@@jameseddleman6944 Not only US players play CS II, here in Poland its 45 PLN - you can buy food for weekend or even whole week if you dont eat too much for that

[@hekkensnatser]

I think part of the reason why the cars just appear, is 'cause commercial buildings can sell vehicles. Even if the citizens can't bring their car via ferry, they could get a new car at a dealer, though that begs the question how the dealer gets those cars. As for what you can place at that forest at the end of the island, I'd keep it mostly intact so it's a recreational forest. Maybe some parking or the campsite park to get some outdoor recreation going, cause that does seem like the kind of tourism that this place attracts.

[@TheAnubhab]

Can cars come by ferries ?

[@vriskaserket8137]

I believe when a store opens - it has an initial supply of resources. Then when it runs out - it calls for more resources.

[@theo-avl]

How did any of the building supplies and road materials get there?

[@euricoaw1535]

A mod will fix that

[@KawagoeFK]

Assets are on distant island, so that citizens don't see such a shameful DLC.

On the car front, although the in game reason is probably just that sims spawn them, almost all reasonably sized ferries around the world have space for cars. So it isn't unjustified.

[@tristandavies9597]

the European beach houses zoning is actually perfect for middle suburban Melbourne or Sydney with all the italian/greek immigrant renovation houses with giant columns and concrete

[@Hesho_92]

I like how you are using the current state of the game, despite what it lacks, to build something beautiful. I know that so many people are not happy in the moment, i am also, about some stuff, but i see (specifically after introducing the Pdx Mods and the latest changes) a lot of hope, please keep doing what you are doing, it’s beautiful.

[@twodollarstwenty]

Thanks man! I think it’s because I genuinely enjoy playing it. Custom assets and some fixed bugs would do wonders

[@nathyj7]

Love this!! For me the island is more reminiscent of Nantucket or Martha's Vineyard, MA... if they were a little closer to Boston!

[@TheUltimateScorpio]

Hello :) Long Islander here! I love what you did honestly it reminds me of areas like hampton bays and out east. A lot of places out east are still named using local Shinnecock names. i.e Sagaponack, Amagansett, Ronkonkoma, etc. Again it looks awesome! I love it!!

[@twodollarstwenty]

Thank you! So no places named Jenny? 😅

[@longislandloser]

def reminiscent of out east... out west by NYC is very dense - love it

[@TheUltimateScorpio]

[@amin6214]

on the tip of the island i feel like a lighthouse is obligatory

[@compagno_michele1107]

Im responding to hopefully push your comment up lol. But I haven’t played this game yet; do they even have lighthouse assets? I haven’t seen them in any videos ive watched.

[@twodollarstwenty]

@compagno_michele1107 unfortunately not!

[@arkaadiy]

With Anarchy enabled you can build ship routes, roads, railways etc without buying any new tiles

[@dbthesuperstar]

Was just about to say the same thing.

[@Chef_PC]

Why would they release a Beachfront asset pack without having surf shops and boardwalk commercial businesses?!

[@kennybland4496]

[@MorganHJackson]

Dude you consistently make the best landscapes in this game. The trees, the hills, the path of roads and rivers and stuff. Take as long as you need on terraforming, it clearly works.

[@theorixlux2605]

I think sims can buy cars from commercial. When you zone commercial, they spawn with some stock already in inventory without necessarily having industrial.

[@twodollarstwenty]

That’s interesting! Wish there were dealerships. Imagine watching your cim go out and buy a new car!

[@heyheybobbyj]

I feel like you've got to put some Gatsby-esque mansions at the end of the island where you built the winding road. Not sure if the assets exist for it (maybe the bigger unique houses from the Beach Properties DLC)

[@twodollarstwenty]

100%!

[@alexhentschel1080]

Sully has a bunch of texture packs for shoreline/waterfront that would work very well for the marshlands you are working on.

[@twodollarstwenty]

Are they available on pdxmods? That sounds perfect

[@anders95]

Some of the new mods actually got me back to playing CS2, and I have to say I kinda enjoyed it. Hopefully this is the start of something good. Really enjoying this series too, I was today years old when I learned you could place wind turbines on water, lol. Thanks!

[@tworeasonableguys1766]

I live on Long Island and we definitely don’t have any palm trees here. Not sure how accurate you want to mimic the area. If you want inspiration for waterfront towns, check out Northport, Port Jefferson, Sayville, Greenport, and Montauk. For names, we have lots of Native American names for lots of our towns. Love the build!

[@twodollarstwenty]

Ah bummer but what about those 4 palm trees!? 😂 I’ll check out those places thanks

[@cgollimusic]

16:26 - I was so upset you got rid of that little lake up top, I thought it was perfect 42:55 - I say a business park with some sort of observatory or thing like that

[@RWDtech]

Just a heads up, you can use Dev Mode to speed up the simulation to make the water flow faster so you don't have to wait so long. You should really look into the Dev Mode tool, it's pretty powerful!

[@twodollarstwenty]

Oh wow I didn’t know that thanks!

[@brandongregory9542]

Okay so Jersey actually has beaches, and alot of the home are very nice, look into long beach island, pt pleasant (which has a train that goes into NYC) I think youre onto something more than you think

I love at 2:56 you showed the loop bridge on loop parkway. My friend used to work it, and three other draw bridges on long island. It was awesome to see the loop again. We would spend hours in video calls just talking away laughing at so much and comparing our countries respectively.

[@dpm04]

The bay where the harbour is kinda looks like a dinosaur head and neck to me, especially with the boardwalk acting as the mouth and teeth! Perhaps then it could be called 'Dino Bay/Harbour', or even 'Nessie Bay/Harbour' (after the Loch Ness Monster).

Palm trees are surprisingly hardy, and can grow in climates you wouldn't expect. Being from the UK, a guy I know was born and raised in Ayr a town on the Scottish coast and they have palm trees all along their beach.

[@herusolares5320]

The South side of the ferry cove looks amazing, but I think the Northern bend needs a quay that links up to the ferry parking lot.

[@Itsjolan]

The reason why there is regular cars is because there is car delerships in some of the commercial areas and people buy cars and ect! Thanks!

[@Sweber1983]

This kind of reminds me of Block Island which is a little east of Long Island. They have the offshore windmills as well

[@Infrastructurist]

"Blair witch project vibes" oh man, that sentence really took me back. I wonder if most people of my (our?) generation (aged 32) have a clear memory of when they first saw that movie. Nice town!

[@twodollarstwenty]

Haha yeah it’s a throwback to the 2000s for sure!

[@damnimloomin]

Also in New York State all of our wind turbines are on top of hills literally ALL of them so you should place them in the Forrest’s on top of hills that is where they really are (although most of the turbines are 5-6 hours away from NYC/ Long Island near where i live lol! It’s sad the wind turbines in our back yard do not really power our homes! Also Long Island is the best train corridor in all of the US and NJ is also one of the best states for trains i hope this will be factored in! Maybe you can build a massive train tunnel under the water!

[@edakren]

Would love to see you do something based around Atlantic city on that main coast. Enjoying the CS2 Content.

[@xxmobstrxx8535]

Long Island is pretty flat in many areas but has some very hilly spots. The north shore is mostly cliffs with high end mansions, the middle and southern part of the island is where most people live and has many marinas and beaches but the eastern half starts to get sparsely populated but that’s also where the moneys at because of the Hamptons

[@danonck]

The windy road could lead to a lighthouse (if it's even available). Also I don't mind the cars on the island. After all a ferry is perfectly capable of carrying vehicles as well as people.

[@Dubs7ep_Panda]

The New Town reminds me a lot of Mount Desert Island, commonly known as Bar Harbor, in Maine.

[@TrippaMazing87]

I feel like they really went shallow here. As an east coaster I have to say that we have some pretty cool commercial buildings on the beachside so they had tons to choose from. Hotels and family owned stores around the beach over here look so great! Also, putting my bias aside, some true beach assets from Florida and California would’ve made this even better. 10 dollars is just too much for a half baked idea!

[@BoG_City]

Having mods like Anarchy and trees mod are already a game changer. cant wait to see what modders will add to the game. It will Make CS2 a true successor to CS1. for now i'm glad you havent given up on CS2 like others have.
