Should've named it Sunny Teaside park.

[@charleyedwards2121]

Biffa! love watching you detangle the crazy traffic of these cities. i play on xbox and i wonder if you would/could fix a couple cities with the vanilla roads and everything? its kinda brutal how few types of roads and options we have with no ability to use mods.

@Damian Sookram I have tried this game on both old and new hardware. First time at a friends house, he got a Intel i5 4690K, 16GB Ram and a 1060GTX. It worked well with that setup, I noticed some FPS drops but that was rather because he was using a mechanical harddrive from 2008 for the game which have a read spead of maybe 20-40MB/s instead of todays 210MB/s. I am running the game on a AMD Ryzen 9 3900X, MSI X570-A Pro(This MB you should only get if you are not into OC since the VRMs gets to hot if you want to do some OC and will throttle the CPU), 32GB RAM and a MSI Sea Hawk X 1080 GTX(Will be upgraded when it cant manage 60FPS+ all on full anymore) with on a Seagate 2TB disk with read speed of 210MB/s and it loads up the game in seconds and runs smoothly without any hickups that I have seen so far(just bought the game and is about 2 hours into game play). My rig is to future proof for 5-8 years, while if you are only getting a rig for this game something like a AMD Ryzen 5 3600, 16GB RAM and a Geeforce 1050TI should be more than sufficient.

[@krisculin9679]

Hey Biffa - you've got that nice mountain right there next to your lungs of the city area. You should put in a nature reserve up on the mountain where you can have campsites, tents, etc. Then you can integrate in some cable cars. I'm not 100% sure if you need a road going up there (for police, fire, health) but maybe that can be done on the backside. #Teaville #RIPHugo

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

Nice :-)

[@amandaburn9089]

Agreed!

[@wanderinwolf3804]

dont think you would need a road for the police ect and stuff because most of those now have integrated helicopters. You can have you entire city run off those helicopters and you would get none of the traffic in the streets from them.

[@krisculin9679]

@@wanderinwolf3804 Good point! That would make the mountain top in #Teaville look so much cooler without needing to bring in a road on the back end. Just need a small one for the cable car and park entrance. Biffa, take note of this. i really hope you consider doing this in the next episode or two.

Well Biffa, it was really nice working with you and making sure everyone took the right lane. I really hope shift-s will do the job as good as I did, but it hasn't convinced me yet. I will be there for you if you'll ever need me again!! Hugo

[@michaeldamolsen]

Great episode! I really like the way that park turned out around the stadium :)

[@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines]

Thank you Michael Dam Olsen :-)

[@Finwolven]

Well, Hugo has followed Elaine into retirement. Elaine retired when dedicated turning lanes removed the need to micromanage picking your (e)la(i)ne. Now new-fangled automation of automobile advancement has made Hugo redundant, but fortunately, he's already made it to retirement age and follows his True Love into their golden years. Hope they have a happy retirement!

[@ArrowProds]

Dare I say it, but your stadium now looks even BETTER than the real-life Optus Stadium it is based on! Coincidentally, I happen to live in the same city :) Teaville looking better than ever!

@@BiffaPlaysCitiesSkylines Have some more love from another Perthian that loves seeing Optus Stadium in game.

[@Hannant98]

[@Lorentari]

Biffa, just a tip - It is generally best to have 2-lane cross intersections set up with "One for turning left, and the other for turning right and straight on" This is because crossing a lane (left turn) generally causes more queues (or lines - not a native speaker) than either turning right or going straight on. Therefore one lane can handle right AND straight on. Or.. At least it is like that in reality where trafic lights and right-of-way is king... maybe it doesn't translate to the sometimes ridiculous behavior of the trafic bot, but it might be worth a try in your city fixes.

[@dustinfocus]

The way you decorated Sunnyside Stadium is exquisite!! *In The Collector's voice* MAG-NIFICANT! MAGGNIFICANT!

[@RealCyclops]

3:47 - You also have an extremely short segment of road where you can't see the arrows so you probably changed those turning lanes without realizing it.

[@BorjaVarona_at_YT]

Congratulations, Biffa. Your beautification of Sunnyside Stadium is just AWESOME. Your city looks spectacular!!

[@allybearbear]

In the U.S. it's common to have high density residential around stadiums. Usually, it's formerly low income areas that get revitalized with new condos and lofts that young professionals move into. I loooove this city. Thank you for the great content in these difficult times!

[@seaneskimobandman]

Our city of Teaville is coming along rather smashingly if I do say so myself! I am in love with the Sunset Harbor DLC. I cannot wait till I get an Xbox so I can utilize mods. I love that arena football stadium.

[@TAiiNE]

An option for the lane connectors. to FULLY CLEAR THEM FROM A CITY. Because a lot of Biffa's city fixing, a good chunk of the issues are mostly from people over using the lane connectors to try and control traffic. A few cities I located and checked out myself, most the issues were purly from such over use, preventing lane switching though most roads etc. Even my own city from back in the day went from 4% to 65% with ZERO changes biffa made to it and only deleting all the spaghetti lane connections I made following so called 'guides'. So yes Biffa, that still needs to be your number 1 step when fixing cities. And having an option in the mod to reset/clear it map wide would be a godsend. and yes Biffa you do a good job and all, and I hate nacking on you about this, but it is something myself and others have noticed and having checked it myself I say you really could use a video tutorial to educate people on how to properly use the lane connectors. Because sad to say, but a couple of your latest fix's have all suffered from over use of the tool and you're 'fixing' it only by upgrading some roads (thus deleting the connectors). I mean if I can get one of your past city fix's from 8% to 75% with zero changes outside deleting all the lane connectors they had tried to use EVERYWHERE.. then yeah...

[@KaybsGaming]

Looking good mate! Trust Biffa to squeeze a roundabout into a park! Love your work, dude.

That change to the turning arrows is so handy for those of us using Left Hand Drive. Previously it set the arrows so that you had a dedicated left turn (i.e. turn at the kerb NOT across traffic) and thus was pretty useless. Win!

[@truckerallikatuk]

Gods bless you Hugo, you did fine work. And having the Huge effect as a memorial, is fitting.

Biffa + Sip of Tea = The best City Skylines Videos Also Biffa, can you make your Teaville City Airport Interchange a complete interchange where both sides of the highway can access it and the people on the airport road can exit to both sides of the highway. I would also like to know if you will be showing us how to build Interchanges such as the partial clover leaf, the Continuous Flow Interchange and many other? Also to make the airport Interchange a bit better, I think you should have a road that goes over the river then over the highway, and create a partial cloverleaf interchange, and remove the old interchange, and have the road that currently connects to the old interchange connect to the new one, you should ca the episode the beautification of highway interchanges by Biffa lol

Hi Biffa, what music do you use at the end for the outro (while the end cards appear)? (@ 21:59 ) I didn't hear it in the music that you listed in the description so I was wondering where it was from.

I'd suggest putting some high density residential around the end station you have near the leisure and tourism districts. It makes sense to do have High density residential around a major station, it's close to where you need your workers and personally I think it'd look great!

For the next one where you need to build housing for the people working in the shops. It could be an idea to build a British style council estate. I'm sure I've seen tower blocks and the mundane style terraced housing on the workshop. I can't think of a tea based name for it right now. But I'm sure a more talented person than me can.

[@Pimaster31415]

When you build the next residential area, can you review the utilities and garbage systems that you are using for that area? I have a hard time balancing a good looking city and responsive trash services. I know good traffic helps, but seeing how you handle it again would be greatly appreciated!
