About the Project:
Join me as we create a map rich with natural beauties, distant towns and a bustling metropolis. The aim is to create an island that feels as big as a state or territory, including vast biomes, mountains, rivers and an endless coastline. Set in Australia and New Zealand (maybe an island in between), this map takes inspiration from open world video games and the way in which the game devs create such immersive environments, such as GTA 4 and 5, Red Dead Redemption 2 and the Mafia 4 maps. To take it one step further, every thing on the map should feel unique and distinct. No city district, town or mountain should feel or look the same.

Reckon you'd still watch Oceania when CSL2 comes out? Not making any promises but I'd like to continue either Oceania or Sunset City, but not both. I can't decide which one
Of course i would! this series is so good
Absolutly, continue this series for sure👍👍
Please continue, they are both great
Oceania for sure, there are barely any aussie cities in cs
I would love to see Oceania continued for sure
This episode of Oceania is undoubtedly one of the best by far. I hope building it was as enjoyable for you as watching you build it was for us.
It was! Thank you!
I have a bit of lore suggestion here.
That road on a cliff side was once a railroad that served coal mines somewhere in that area. But then, the new railway was constructed, so the old one was replaced with a regular road in 1950s. Coal mines were abandoned 15 years later after the road was built, because there was no more coal. The town you built, I suggest the name Black Cliff, was formed for the people who worked in those mines
Oh how I’ve missed your nature builds! I think I like these episodes more than when building ‘cities’.. your nature work is the best out there I reckon. Also are these the first kangaroos and koalas in Oceania, in episode 59?! 😅 I’d like to see something like the 12 apostles further up from here… and you need to do the Great Barrier Reef before finishing the series please! It wouldn’t be Australia without that. 🎉
Yes! Kangas are such a tiny detail mostly just for me. Imagine they’re everywhere
No lie, I sat up and moved my mouse a little in panic when the screen went black. Thought my monitor had died.
Love these sleepy little towns you build. Slowly but surely, you'll have one pared down to just a pub... and maybe a post office.
Did you know? In Scotland, the city of Dundee has a town nearby called Perth (which also has an Australian-themed restaurant called Perth), and a little bit to the north there is a town called Montrose (the same name as a suburb near Hobart, Tasmania). The more you know. :D
hi $2.20 the sea cliff bridge was originally built due to frequent rock falls on the original road which is why they made it a bridge going over the water, so i think it would be cool to see like big boulders where the old road was. assuming you wanted to replicate that
I think I know what you meant by 'beautiful highways', but it still feels like a textbook definition of an oxymoron.
I find highways to be beautiful because where I live they're seen as a step towards becoming a truly developed nation
@@saber8156Nothing beautiful about taking space from pedestrians to level more car dependacy. I’d call it more like a plague
@@cuffmeincorporated are you Not Just Bikes?
i guess it's more like, you experience beauty from the highway - not of it.
@@saber8156 Perhaps, though putting them straight through cities to not be so pretty imo.
I think that you should use the Matilda highway to lead to an old Oceanic penial colony called the "Waupaca Penial Colony" based of Port Arthur in Tasmania and make it big enough of a tourist attraction that their are bus route to the site. And it also brigs up the reason why the lighthouse is a nice tourist attraction because it was uses to help ships to help navigate to the colony down the coast.
Excellent idea!
I know the headland is taking cues from the coast between Sydney and Wollongong, but it's giving me really strong Great Ocean Road vibes as well. Maybe there could be nod to the Twelve Apostles?
The highway that spread around the headland was amazing! I also loved the small town and I know it wasn’t asked for but i think it cold be called Gray river After a small cluster of homes along the great ocean road that my great grandad built.
I completely agree with you! Cities interracting with the nature and the environment is just so beautiful and facinating. Your videos were also a huge reason why i started studying the sustainable communities engineering path in the university. Thank you❤️
Wow no way! That’s a massive compliment. I hope you’re enjoying your studies!
You should have a small high school by the playing field in Rockmantle, it would really bring the town to life.
There's no other CS content creator that makes terraforming, landscaping and road building as satisfying to watch as you. What an absolute joy to see, a pity we couldn't get the footage of you actually building the lighthouse and national park areas, but the final product more than makes up for it!
There’s a great new walking path they’ve completed in Brisbane. It’s between the Hamilton and Newstead area and it stretch along the highway and river.
Also the Brisbane Botanic Gardens Mount Coot-tha with a planetarium would be a nice addition for Oceania. The cacti gardens are always a staple in Aussie Botanic Gardens too
One thing on the brisbane walk is that there are houses on the other side of the road to the path. There is a bus stop along the way which would convince pedestrians on your path. A pedestrian crossing on the road allows them to cross, but might be a challenge in game.
You’re also missing the quintessential Aussie 90’s hangover, a vineyard! It would be perfect along the highway in the hills. A modern building with a vineyard attached would be beautiful. Always a great tourist attraction. Would pass on it being industry and go straight to an attraction
The detailing and way you always bright these areas to life are just so grand. I can't get over how cool it would be to just drop down into your cities
You can use the sightseeing bus route and the asset Peloton by SvenBerlin (bike group) to replace the bus. So the bike path has a group of bikers that travel along it. Control the bus route info will adjust how often and how many bikes and won’t be dependent on getting the sims to travel that bike path
I actually tried that but unfortunately that bike group isn’t supported for left hand driving 😕
Looks like Great Ocean Road in Victoria. Was a great drive when I did it a few years back.
Sea Cliff Bridge! One of Australia’s most breathtaking pieces of infrastructure. Roads are usually built as utilitarian as possible, but when effort is put in to make them beautiful I really appreciate it.
5:30 Love how cinematic this looks! :)
love seeing you use my Green Mans Arms pub asset. gonna make it for CS2 as soon as the tile sizes and scaling are confirmed :)
This area reminded me a lot of Lyall Bay here in Wellington, you could add some small houses along the shore in some places and maybe even a car park/ rest stop, also, I’d like to see you add some small abandoned naval defences around the hills in this area, add to the history ?
Great Video! What you have done today reminds me a lot of Garraf, Spain.
I love those timelapse hope this will continued in future
My suggestion for the park name is Korokatoka which is Maori for Rock Mantle. It is called that due to the abundance of cliff sides in the area where it is easy to see beautiful rock formations.
For the little town beside the lighthouse: during World War 1 the Royal Australian Navy was in dire need of a place to dock their ships in the area around Dundee, and this area was perfect. So a long road was constructed for transporting of coal to the Fleet's base. A lighthouse (and potentially a number of bunkers and similar if you want to add that). After the great war the Aussie Navy left the headland and moved to another place.
During the great war a lot of people fled to the city of Oceania, making the inner town extremely populated. So a number of people moved from the inner city out into the headland to escape the noice and pollution that was in the Dundee City, Creating a small Town called Smith's peak.
More for the lighthouse: A man bought it of the Australian navy in 1927 and moved into it, his name was Thomas Smith. He renovated the lighthouse and surrounding buildings. Sadly he passed away in 1952, so the city reclaimed the Lighthouse and it was planned to be demolished, but a number of locals were hell bent on not loosing the now culturally important lighthouse and a petition was held. In 1954 It was decided that the lighthouse and a big area around it should be turned into a National park, so a upgrading of the old winding road on the cliff was nesecarry, resulting in the bridge beside the cliff and the good looking asfalt roads
i gotta say, i really loved this build. i love building parks and random roads that almost no one uses. as someone from the interior, im very used to these kind of roads and it just feel so satisfiying to me seeing them in the game. i also love nature and in my cities i try to make tons of opportunities for the sims to enjoy it.
oh wow, this is the very best stuff ive seen in some time. love this aspect of the game and makes it so enjoyable to watch.
“Murray’s Ridge” could work
I was staring at the first google earth map for ages thinking it looked familiar, until i realised it's because it's Wellington! where i live! "I can see my house from up here" :D I love that you look at my city and get inspired.
Ah, my favorite map and favorite topic. Today is a good day. 🎉
It's already 2 months from the last time I went to Australia, I went with my school and the whole grade went camping and adventure for 24 days. The amazing and detailed city really makes me remember the wonderful memories with my friends make then, but I really hope that you could add some bushturkeys in the campsites. It was one of our most memorable moments when our pack of milk powder got bitten by one of them and we had to eat cereals with water that day. They also broke one of rubbish bags. It would be fascinating to see some bush turkeys staring at the food.
I really enjoy watching at the details and efforts you gave to the game, as a student I really don't have that much time to focus in the game. Keep up the good work. : )
I would also like to see some greenish circular prism water tank in the back of the house or toilet in some places away from the city. Drop toilet would make it much more realistic.
Twodollarstwenty youre real inspiration combined with so nice storytelling ! Looking at your episodes i hope that CS2 apart from improved improved functionality etc will let for such customization level and workshop support as we have currently.
I'm from cape breton island and its the first area that john cabot mapped the west. We have a Cabot Trail that is a road that circles our island. You could use this idea for your new road :) Google Map (John Cabot Trail; Cape Breton, NS, Canada.)
I’ll check it out thanks!
remind me of Gerroa nsw, with the small town over looking the beach and the little campsite nearby. Maybe you could call it Kingfisher? A little aviation/fishing based pun. Great video also.
Hey mate here's an idea. After the earthquakes in 2011 in Christchurch NZ a big portion of the city was red stickered and demolished as the ground was too unsafe to build on. Now a decade later it's essentially a giant park with flat grassy fields and fruit trees where people's gardens used to be. You can still see power connections or plants growing in rows where the fence used to be. It's a bit creepy but an awesome recreational spot which lots of people use for walking or cycling, or paddling down the river. You can spot it on google maps, it's to the northeast of the CBD. Maybe you can do something similar in Oceania?
This was a really cool video, especially the scenic road. I think you could name the little beachside town Port Spencer. I reminded me of Port Germain, a little coastal town in South Australia (off the main highway), which is on the Spencer Gulf.
I'm currently in the process of moving from London to Sydney with my wife for work. Your references of different parts of Aus and NZ get me so excited for the move. The beauty of the country is amazing and it's great how fondly you talk of Aus. This series is excellent. Keep up the good work man 🤘
Fantastic news welcome to Sydney! I hope it’s an easy move for you guys. You’ll have plenty to do when you get here. Been here all my life and still discovering gems
Love the national park. Keep up the good work!
i know this is based on Australia but those mountains are crying out for an Alpine style road like Alpe D'huez in france or the Stelvio in italy. Twisting and turning up the mountain, creating switch back heaven and a random hotel like in the Funka Pass in Switzerland.
We do have some steep mountain passes (with switchbacks) in Australia. Some not too far from the area he was using for inspiration. Nothing like you would see in Switzerland though.
the old road is just such a great addition, love how it looks next to the upgraded highway
love the story about the road trip only being an hour away then missing the turn and still not doing the road trip.
Building idea:
There is a asset you can download in the workshop called ''SS australis" and there is a shipwreck version you can download, I was thinking you could place the shipwreck asset on one of the coastlines of Oceania or the Miami series. Just a thought and small detail that could potentially have some history behind the city or the shipwreck itself, etc :)
I say you should call the tiny beach town on the highway Greene, as sort of a little reference to Lorne on the Great Ocean Road in Victoria (everyone likes a nice green lawn), and also the actor Lorne Greene. Even though Lorne is much bigger, it would've started out small like this one and that whole highway gives me big Great Ocean Road vibes as a Victorian. You've even got Aireys Inlet Lighthouse (famous from Round the Twist) and the Otway National Park.
The area across from the airport and harbor could be a good spot for another downtown. Not as grand, just a more mid-rise buildings instead of 300 meter buildings.
Man, cs2 is gonna be incredible. I'm gonna make a little Midwestern Lake Town for my first project.
You should add a hotel/pub with a BWS or Thirsty Camel Drive-Thru… it’s basically the most Australian thing I can think of
You could take some inspiration from the Santa Ynez mountains as well, just reminded me of the highway there a little
Great build, I’d love to drive this road and go hiking through there
The Oceania series is my drug whilst waiting for CS2! Really enjoying it and the detailing is insane. (PS: I think the small town at 19:08 should be called 'Coffs Creek')
This is an art form. I can't wait to see your cities in the sequel
Fantastic content. It almost looks like real life impressive
My suggestion for the park's name would be Ugly John/Black Park after the Aussie character from M*A*S*H.
The little town could be called Candle's Bourg due to tales of the Lighthouse shining bright as a candle with the town being nestled in the shadow of the mountainous region
this little town reminds me so much of lyttleton in Christchurch new zealand its a great little town for inspo
15:25 an old lighthouse would be cool and maybe it would bring tourist to the area
I love Rockmantle being a mish-mash of Rockingham and Fremantle from WA :))
This a dead tiny thing to notice but at 6:39 appears to be a Vline N class loco hauling coal. N class locomotives are geared for pax operations and cant really handle freight too well. Otherwise another great video :)
The national park could be called something like "Flinders or Mawson national park" in recognition of them.
Maybe a G class. They would be OK for hauling coal. Detail is a bit small to be absolutely certain though.
Amazing build!
I think in game the forest fire will mostly triggered fire helicopter rather than fire trucks.
looking really good!
if you want a scenic trainline down the coast, have a look at the line from Barcelona to Vila Nova!
Convert one of the beaches next to the old road to a secret local spot. Old stairs leading from the road down. And just a few individuals relaxing there
I thought I was the only one who was suspiciously fascinated with the wat cities interacted with the natural world.
A beautiful city in hundreds of ways
Cities Skylines simultaneously made me understand the importance of public transport in controlling traffic, and made me fall in love with the unexpected beauty of roads, cars, and highways.
Rockmantel love it !! Rockingham and Freo right ????
I would imagine a small Community there on the coast similar to the one next to „Wategos Beach“ near Byron Bay.
So beautiful!
beautiful video
Firetrucks only put out buildings on fire. Helicopters will go and put out trees though
Love your vids ❤❤
Really cool video again 👏 but I have a question. I only joined this video series recently and I wanted to ask if There’s a ThemePark? A lot of times theme parks are being build in small towns with nice nature near big cities
Cheers! There is. Check out my Luna Park build
i imagine a quary being the reason for that road to be there. the quary supplying the city with building materials and materials for concrete and such
This was satisfying to watch
Could you make an update video on your visuals and what mod espcially you use for the trees, they look nice and crispy. Mine look with the mod tree control odd and disapear even with lod set to maximum. Cheer keep up with oceania i love that series!!!!
Check the one I did for my Mile Bay series. It’s pretty much identical except I crank up the brightness a little more than usual
Train tracks don’t need service roads, maintenance vehicles use special rail attachments and ride on the tracks themselves
i know you don't do military bases, but the headland is ripe for abondand military infastructure like the one spotted around sydney harbour
Ah, well the small town you built could be called Strath Creek? 🤔 Enjoy the CSL1 Oceania while you still can!
You should make a First Person Drive Around The Old Highway!!
Im super disappointed that they havent put park life custom park areas in CSII. I'm sure that will be another DLC but I want it when the game comes out for my cities parks to function.
I had to double-take when I saw Wellington come up! 0:13
I would like over ground power lines in CSII for rural areas , as well as under the road in the main business districts
The real life Sea Cliff Bridge is located next to Coalcliff, NSW so the little town could also be _cliff, perhaps Wortcliff.
Love your channel and the way you deliver an episode. I was just in Madeira and it has some of the most incredible modern infrastructure integrations into ancient cities with very challenging terrain. I suggest you check out the google maps and notice the highways and the airport in Madeira; right on the vein you’re striking with this episode
Thank you I’ll check it out!
Beautiful scenery! I wish this place was real 😅
hope this man gets 200k subs soon!
So cool seeing my home city of wellington nz on these $2.20 videos haha
That tunnel is probably top #10 spot to get robbed in Oceania.
This is an excellent observation
can you drive a car in city skylines? so you can see the views better on the roads? (if you cant, it would be a good feature they could add.. like a google maps street view feature in the game so u can play first person and walk or drive around your towns
consoles have it but pc doesnt for some reason
Yes you press whatever you do to get rid of the display down the bottom then go to the thing with the choices like for the road it has straight and curved then there should be four options with walk and drive being two
Only for console though for some reason don’t know why
the path between the highway and the train tracks seems like hell, think about the noise from the highway
22:00 Damn Drop Bears!
I think you should call the little town Lawson named after Kiwi racing driver Liam Lawson
could you name the large mountain park "Palermo Peak." Palermo was a place i lived in and it had large cliffside parks. Thank you!
It’s weird seeing CS1 after binge watching CS2 videos
22:06 You forgot all the deadly poisonous spiders.
I don't recognise most of the inspo for this series bc I live in the UK, but 16:23 gave me Forza Horizon 3 flashbacks
Highway's where i live is no where the definition of beautiful 😹 they're like my mind at 6 in the morning.
For city skyline 2. I would like it if You build a city based of Hamburg with a dutch style 😁😁
Maybe create a surf similar to Bells Beach
Maybe you could call the town on the old highway Maori Point? I know your city is mostly Australian but I think you've added some NZ stuff too.
His city is mostly New South Wales.
