- Cities Skylines Beginners Guide - Starting A New City | Ep. 1
In Todays Episode, we start my cities skylines beginner guide by going over how to create a city. I want to make a city that is stunning and unique but also possible for others to recreate. Because of this, as we eventually add mods to the game, we will forever keep it lightly modded and easily approachable for everyone. This is going to be a fun series as we explore everything the game has to offer us : )

I've been playing this game since 2015 and only recently realized (like a week ago) that different map sizes have different (edit) population milestones.
I know what you mean. When I first caught it I thought there was a problem with my game. Then it hit me 🤣
Kindly contact Mr. Novogratz.... For trading assistance and information 👆👆👆
there are different map sizes??? what
I've been playing for years and had no idea there were different milestones lol
Me too lol
I think every builder should have a beginner series and I love this! Really taking it back to basics. I always learn something from beginner series.
Thanks Joy! I really enjoyed making this episode. I think this is going to be a fun series! 😀
Kindly contact Mr. Novogratz.... For trading assistance and information 👆👆👆
@@CityZilla Definitely going to be a fun series, judging off of this video
Agreed. I’m still pretty new to skylines. Only got like 15 hours on it. I enjoy these series cause I take a lot away from it and use it on my own cities.
I'm glad you are enjoying it!
As a new player, this game can be pretty overwhelming. Nice job breaking things down and not throwing too much information at once. Thanks!
I've put well over a thousand hours into this game, and I ALWAYS love a good beginners' guide. One can learn so much with that Beginner's Mind. ;) So glad I found you! :D
Glad you are enjoying it and so true. I have learned so much just from doing this series. Nothings like going back to the basics
Not a newbie, but ready to start a new city and I always love the looks of your cities a nice combination of symmetry and balance.
Thank you Heidi! I'm glad you are enjoying it!
Hi can u please help me with my city😭
@@umeraftab1093 send me some screen shots in discord. I would be more than happy to help!
@@CityZilla ohk
I keep going broke
I'm not a noob though for some reason I really enjoy beginner series. There are always new city planning concepts, strategies, and how the builder uses the space and topography to consider. I really appreciate your thought process and the calm presentation style. You've earned yourself a new subscriber. I look forward to exploring your catalog.
I hope you enjoy the series. Let me know if you have any suggestions!
That was a great new start to a city 🙂
Thank you Biffa! This is a really awesome moment for me! I have looked up to you and watched your content for almost 4 years now. A lot of what I know about this game comes from you! 😀
Nice video :D Great tips!
I just wanted to point out: The green area around city services like clinics and police stations are not it's coverage but the area that is been affected positively towards land value. Cims can be pick up by an ambulance even if they are on a house at the edge of the map, as long as there is a way to get there. Sick cims will also go by foot if it's on walkable distance but the green area only affects land value, which is required to get higher tiers of buildings.
Oooooo niceeee.
Thank you!
20:51 - Road going vehicles actually do drive slower when weather affects the road. When it starts to rain, the speed slowly decreases down to a certain minimum. Once it stops raining, the roads slowly dry up and as such vehicle speed increase again up to the speed limit.
Walking and cycling is also based on the age of the citizens. Children are slower, teens and young adults are fastest, adults are average and senior citizens are slowest.
Havent tested weather effect on walking and cyling yet. The best way to test it is to use the first person camera mod which displays speed.
Thank you for this info!
I played without much help to start but found your guide and realized I was missing alot and I restarted my city encorporating alot of the stuff I learned here - very helpful.
Ive been playing for a while now but I still learned stuff. This is probably one of the best beginner tutorials or this game available. Most other channels forget how overwhelming just the toolbar alone can be when you first play and skip right over what the different tools do and how they can be utilized to better your city or just improve the quality of life for the player. Anyways, great playlist so far, keep it up!
Thanks Thomy! I'm doing my best to go over everything I can think of 😀
I rarely comment, but this series is fantastic. I came here for pointers on starting a city. I've been playing CS for YEARS but starting a city has always been my crux. I atarted watching this to help me start a city but i stayed for the attention to detail, specific explanations, different layout ideas, and the calm demeanor. Fantastic series
Thanks Kevin! I'm happy to hear you are enjoying the series!
Even though I've been playing CS since release I still love watching beginner videos. I really like the couplet you made with the wide space. Looks great and spaces things very nicely. Can't wait for more episodes.
Thanks Michel! It's a fun design! I'm excited for the eventual downtown!
I'm fairly new at C:S, and I think I have a pretty good starting game, but the transition where we need to upgrade the main arterial and fix traffic issues that stem from increased industry logistics is where I struggle with, I hope you can get to that in this series!
One of the main reasons to create the arterial with no zoning on it is to help the city as it grows. The reason I put the industry area next to the highway is so it can have it's own connection probably on this next episode 😀 we will go over traffic issues though and how to avoid them. This is one of the hardest parts about this game
Make sure you have the traffic manager mod. In my opinion the game is horrible without it.
This build is epic. I will now binge the rest to see how it's grown. I just recently started the game and this has helped me so much. Definitely will be looking into expansions.
Really love your various series. You deserve a lot more subscribers than you currently have. Hopefully this series helps your channel really grow. This pilot episode has done a really good job of explaining the early game dynamics and fundamentals.
Thank you Azure! I did my best to explain everything but not be to overwhelming. there is a lot to this game. It's going to be fun exploring this one and seeing where it goes! 😀
This series is awesome. It really upgraded my city skill. Before I was just using grids and didn't really ever take it to this level. Thanks!
This is a great starting guide, I do wish that someone could do a beginners guide with an English style of city planning with less grids and more ring roads and roundabouts. But very engaging and knowledgeable :)
I just got into this game and just went wild Sim City style in my first ever city... now after getting used to a few features I am looking to start a fresh, much more realistic city. And this tutorial seems to be the most amazing gone out there to get me guided along the way. Thank you so much for your efforts!
Im a year older today, Happy to be spending it on here just relaxing. Really injoying the content you create. Thank you.
Happy Birthday! 🎉
I really enjoy the way you describe what you're doing and why. I am not a beginner player, just looking for some good inspiration from other Cities:Skylines players. I've already learned from you. Looking forward to continuing this series! I have a buddy looking to get into this game, I'll have to recommend this Playlist 👍
Glad you are enjoying it!
Honestly this is one of the best edited videos I have seen in a long time! Great job!!!
Ah the classic elder care facility basically across the street from the cemetery. Efficiency at its finest!
At least you blocked the view with a bunch of trees!
Haha, there are some benefits to having them close. It was unitentional, though, lol
Honestly the best tutorial in games like this is your own experience. The more you play, the better you get and the more things you figure out
So true!
I played this game on mobile for years and recently purchased it on steam. Thank you for the beginners guide!
Amazing! Been playing for years now and I love watching a let’s play/ beginner guilds and copying them and put my own twist on some of the things you do! 👍
Thanks Alan! Happy to provide a little inspiration!
man thank you for spreading your knowledge my friend!! iv been lost trying to figure out this game for months and just couldnt get a good start, i only watched this video for a quick idea and ended up watching the hole video and am now gonna keep watching as i wanna see what your city grows to be ;)
Glad I could be of service! 😀
I think it's great that you cover the very essentials of everything. Even detailing how to use the road tools. Think it is super important for noobs. Great videos man. new sub
You can make a pedestrian crosswalk by changing part of a road to another type
I learned it from a CZcamsr named Imperatur. He has a great tips playlist for vanilla players.
Thanks for the tip!
Just found your channel and I'm really looking forward to watching this city progress! Keep up the good work! 😁
Thanks Zach! Welcome to the channel!
I've been playing this game casually for years , and usually bored after sometime cause i do usually play cluelessly. Checked lots of videos before over the years but man, you did an art for creating a city not just a maximum benefit style guide ; showing how to get enjoy for creating a city and manage it. Good job really well done with this video.
Thank you! I super appreciate hearing that!
I’ve only just started the series, but I can tell this is going to be FANTASTIC.
Excellent video, I've always preferred the one way couplet city start in the vanilla game over the standard roundabout start. Really easy to follow, I'm a veteran at this game but I learned a lot from it.
Thank you Diana! I almost use the couplet start to a fault. It leaves the door open for so much versus other entrances. I'm glad you enjoyed the video! 😀

Residents do not start whining the moment you raise taxes over 12%. When reaching Little Hamlet the first thing I do is set my taxes at 14%. Residents will start whining once their buildings start levelling up. The longer it takes for them to level up the longer you can rake in excess taxes. Same applies to commercial and industrial. Once residents start moaning just wait until the icon goes red and then drop it 1%. Next to complain will be commercial so do the same. Finally industry will whine. After a while and when residents level up further they will complain once more so you drop residential taxes to 12% when the icon goes red. Do the same for commercial and industrial when they whine. By the time you have dropped all 3 tax sectors back to 12% you will be past Boom Town and should have no financial worries.
One side note. If you use the specialised buildings they are already at the highest level and will complain pretty quickly. However, those buildings which start at level 1 and build up will take a fair while to complain and you can happily generate extra income for the first few milestones.
Thanks for the tip! I have used this strategy in challenges before but never while doing a city build
I’m fairly experienced with CS but you gained a subscriber today from me! I’ll be back for sure. You can never learn too much playing this game, endless possible cities, love it ❤
Thanks Hitsauce! I'm glad you enjoyed it!
I’ve been plying for a while now and can create some nice successful cities but it’s great to find guides like this because it’s gives me new ideas of what I can do or what I can fix to improve my next city
I thought this was great and can’t wait until the nest episode, loved the couplet, I’ve always done roundabouts and get a lot of traffic build up, so will definitely try this
Thanks, Reggie! Roundabouts can still be good. You have to be careful where you put them though.
Really enjoying this, would love a video on cities built on slopes/hilly terrain, how to make them look natural. Cheers from Portugal
Thanks Arroz! I have a few pretty decent builds on terrain in Canalville and Crater Lake. It's tough building on hills in this game though.
Just found your channel today and subscribed! I love how you play it. Keep up the good work mate ;)
This was an excellent tutorial. Honestly perfect way to start your city. Nice work and congrats on the video for going viral. Very happy for you
Thanks Sportmonkey! 😀
You had me at "OldTown". That's my usual first district name as well. Subscribed.
I like your style! Good pace for building speed and narrative for my taste (experienced yet untalented builder), but it might be a bit too fast for a newbie. The information you're providing is really well focussed and helpful, but it's a lot!
Looking forward for the next one.
Thanks for the feedback! I felt I moved a little to quick as well. On this next one it's a bit slower.
I am a beginner in city skylines. I don't make city's better but this video helped me a lot to improve my city and manage my city. You deserve a lot of subscribers by the way you got a new sub!!!
Thank you! I'm glad you are enjoying the series!
I love this. Been working CS1 for years now. Keep on posting
New here! Not only to the channel, but to the game as well, and pretty new to the genre itself as well. This is also the very first video I've ever watched about this game. Bought it 3 days ago or so on sale on Steam, after having played it a short few hours on the free weekend offer, and this is a series I'll be hanging onto to watch! I only got the deluxe edition for right now which has 2 dlcs so anything outside of those I won't need yet, but I learned a lot just in this one that I was unaware of. Thanks for this! Liked and subbed! Looking forward to more!
Thank you! This was the reason I made this series. I'm glad to hear it has helped 😀
@@CityZilla Mission Accomplished! Hoping shortly to load into game again while rewatching! I have terrible memory 😅
Hey, I love your play style and I love vanilla / lightly moded cities. So this series will be perfect for me 😅
Thanks Victor! Happy to hear you are enjoying it. My usual series are a bit heavy on the mods. Glad to be trying something new again!
Hii hopefully this blows up :)
Thank you! : ) I hope so too. It was an enjoyable episode to make! I can't wait to see how this city turns out!
It did actually
Is that a terrorist joke?
I would hate it if their city blew up
@@operationdeadmemes3498 HAHAHA!!!
Took me a couple of days to be able to watch this. What a great idea for a new series! Even your grids are more interesting than mine 🤪
Thanks A J! It took me some time to formulate. In glad it turned out well 😅
Thank you for having proper subtitles. It makes it much easier to follow what youre doing vs the auto captions.
Sorry, but as a newbie, this video was WAY too fast paced to even get close to following. 😥
I'm sorry to hear that!
watch overcharged eggs noobs guide series if you are a very beginner. he explains how to use all the tools
@@allhailstrat Thanks for the suggestion. 🙂
Yes, Overcharged has a fantastic beginners guide that may be better suited. 😀 Sorry again, I do plan to make my pacing a bit easier to follow for new people
Thank you so much for this series! I’m gonna be building along with it!
I like the channel and I like how the elder care is "convieniently located" next to the cemetaries. :)
You are the Bob Ross of Cities. I love it!
Just found this video, and this is FANTASTIC!
Glad you enjoyed it!
This was a great video! I followed along and built the city with you. I learned a LOT!
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it!
I just always appreciate new cities Skylines guides because I usually suck at making cities in general, so thanks!
You're not the only one.
Thank you! I'm actually pretty excited for this city. I think it's going to be a good one!
This is the first CZcams video I saw on this game in Dec. of '22. Thanks to you I am now subscribed to several content creators for this game and have watched hours upon hours of videos. I went and purchased the game and all of the available DLC add-ons. Thanks for the tutorial and new online hobby...!!!
I'm glad you are enjoying it! There are some incredible creators out there.
I've been trying to play it for a very long time but I always give up at the beginning. Not because it's bad, but I can't keep up with all the possibilities of building. Thank you for this series, it will help me a lot.
It can be a bit overwhelming sometimes. It helps to focus in one thing at a time
one word to describe this episode??? fantastic! ^^
i watched this while it was downloading very helpful :)
I’ve been following along on the xbox version and its been a lot of fun! Really enjoy the explanation of your thought process. Thank you!
Welcome aboard!
Great video! It was very helpful and informative!!!! Can't wait to see how far you will go with the city!!!
Thanks Tim! I think it's going to be a fun series!
@@CityZilla you're welcome man! Can't wait to see more! I've found something that might interest you..I left it on your discord 👀
I am so proud of you. New people to your video are going to be amazed at what you build. (I stumbled on Factorio and lost my life, but I'm still a follower and will eventually get back to building CS.) Well done, my friend. Glad you are keeping up the good work. 👍
Thank you Don! I still think about you and your comments often! I appreciate your support! I hope all is well!
I have never played factorio maybe I should check it out
@@CityZilla Indeed, all is well. I'm going to follow you on this build, for sure. Looks like it is going to be great. Your videos are absolutely top-shelf professional. You took my advice and took the top off it. As to Factorio--DON"T! They don't call it "Cracktorio" for no reason. lol Best wishes, and continued success. I'll be watching.
Thanks Don!
Party mode: Do a shot whenever you hear 'fantastic'
Stomach pump mode: Do a shot whenever you hear the above or 'go ahead'
I'm not new but I hope I'll learn a whole bunch from this series, given how good your previous cities have been
Thanks Saucy! I'm going to do my best to bring something as much as I can!
Drinking game! 😂 every time he says “FANTASTIC”🎉
Great tip about the sims dying at the same time. 😮 This is currently an issue on my primary map. I really enjoyed this episode. On to the next! 🎉
This video probably get me back to the game, been trying to play but didnt know where to start. Thanks for the tips and ideas
Glad it helped out. Let me know if you have any questions.
Just started trying to play Cities and this is beyond helpful.
I'm glad it's helpfull!
The Bob Ross of Cities
You have no idea how many cities I have started and abandoned, how many videos I have followed but this was the easiest to follow along road layout which is always my problem. Thank y
ou
I'm glad you find it helpful!
You're an artist 🤩🤩 It feels so alive and so natural
Thank you!
Can't wait till next Friday. This will be the first series I follow from start to finish I think. Tho I'm bad I remembering and finding the series again so hoping I don't get behind.
I'm going to do my best to make it a regular thing for fridays to make it a little easier to follow!
omg, just bought this game and found this guide. Can't wait to learn more stuff from you.
I think, this is FANTAAAAAAAAAAASTIC!!! Man! Love how you saying that! City looks very good!
Also, as a beginner, first thing one should do when starting a city (after your first road is layed down) is to lower the budget for roads, water, and electricity. This will save you some starting cash.
Just don't forget to adjust the budget back up as your city grows.
I really love the design, my problem is learning how to start a city and continue it with the same strength it started with. This series actually has helped me visualize a bit more.
It can be tough even for me. The best thing to do is just start
41:13 I couldn’t help but notice that you zoned residential housing on your couplet. Very informative video though, I always seem to find tidbits of useful information from videos like these. Well done sir 👍
Thanks Grant! I'm happy to hear that! Yeah, I messed up but ended up switching it back when I was detailing. Thanks for pointing that out though
What a well made tutorial - thank you for this! 😀
Thank you thank you thank you for this video! Love it!
This was super helpful. Thank you!
I just started playing and I'm kind of surprised by the lack of tutorial, even an optional one, in the game (the tutorial in the form of those tooltips is hardly a tutorial imo). I have no idea what I'm doing, what I should aim for, how to design the city, etc., at least games like Pharaoh and Master of Olympus: Zeus have tutorial scenarios that explain what they recommend, so you can understand the mechanics and begin designing your city building off the things you're shown in the tutorial, that work with the game's mechanics but fit your style more. There seems to be none of that in this game!
I am so thankful for series like yours (I've currently watched yours and one other), it's truly helped me understand things to look out for while planning and building my city. You've made the game much more approachable, understandable, and enjoyable. Thank you!
Thank you!. I'm glad it has helped you out. I know this game can be hard to approach at first. There really is a lot going on.
Great Little Video Ideal for me as I’ve just started my series and I’m a bit out to sea on it’s been a long hot minute since I played , I’m also playing Vanilla no DLC and no mods, so wish I’d seen your video before I started mine last night - though I’m ok with makin mistakes gives me a chance to try work things out, I’ll definitely keep an eye on what your doing so thank you for your video 😀
Thanks ArticFox! I learn more from my mistakes than from my successes. Thats the best part about this game. You can redo stuff : )
not new to gaming, but new to *this* game! it's quite an intimidating endeavor to take this game on, so thank you for this video :)
Welcome aboard!
you're def worth subscribing to. i like the layout and planning and the way u explain it. a very big help to enjoy the game, thank u!
Thank you!
Steam says I have 270ish hours in Cities... which I suspect is wrong and on the low side as I've been playing since launch.... but I've been playing for a few weeks here and there over the course of 7 years so I've never deeply absorbed the principles of what makes and ok city that will develop predictable problems vs. a city that actually has much better headroom to grow from the start. So as a not really beginner player, thank you! It's being able to see how you set things up and the finer details of your workflow that has been excellent for me to get more enjoyment out of my own playing. It really helps break me out of assumptions of how systems may or may not work to hear fluid descriptions of what is going on and what to think about. Really interested in seeing the later growth phase episodes as the mechanics of all the DLC get layered in.
Thanks for breaking this down for me! It helps me when I know what people are enjoying about the vids! I'm trying my best to explain everything as best I can!
Watching this video has helped me enjoy the game much more. I'm not a city guy but find the game fun anyway!
Watched the full episode. Loved it.
Just discovered the game. Enjoyed your educational videos. Helped a lot.
huge fan of all begginers guides like yours! suscribing and ready to learn.
Thanks Sol! Happy to hear you are enjoying it!
Thank you for having this series.
I'm a new player with many restarts 😮 Hope you don't mind @CityZilla if I copy your city just to get me started. Loving the idea that this is the start of a series 😊 I may actually be able to build a city.
No worries! That's what this series is for! Glad you are enjoying it!
I was having trouble with my town so this video definitely helped me out a lot. I subbed as well 😊💜
Thank you! I'm glad it help you even just a bit
@@CityZilla the video is very detailed 🙌🏾 that's what I love most about it. I also love your city as well
Whenever you say "nice" it reminds me of SteveMRE. :P
Also: great series of videos! Subbed.
About to play for the first in prep for number 2! Thought id watch this first!
Fun video, mister City - "we're gonna go ahead" - Zilla! I'm gonna go ahead and click Like. I learned more than I thought. Fresh into the game, I made the mistake to have my city too far away from the main highways, and I did shy away from deleting / replacing buildings to implement roads. So I had to expand more and more. Also, I kept adding way too many water drains; the ocean was so dirty - but it's alright, the stream of water took care of it!
In the steam workshop they have a FREE road which I use to begin with. Literally gives you as much road as you want and doesn’t drain your cash so you can layout as big as u want with no expense until u lay down your water pipes.
Sounds like a good tool for city starts. Thanks for the tip!
@@CityZilla look up the planning roads. They're a collection of free, unzoneable and low speed roads that you can use for, well.., planning.
Thank you!
Very informative. I'll be checking in on other videos forsure, I just downloaded skylines. Life long Sim city guy 😃
Typed "cities skylines" into the search bar and this was the 3rd video. The first two were from channels I'm already subbed to. The whole reason for my searching for a game I play and already follow like 5 channels for was to find someone new. I'm excited to see what your content is like!
Let me know what you think!
@@CityZilla definitely enjoying the content! Binge watching through your playlists as we speak 🤣
fatnastic tutorial, I haven't played CKL for years and just started again and this really triggered my memory again, will follow thanks
Just bought this game today oon sale oon steam.... thought maa wee town was wicked but after watching this mine looks like an absolute bombsite haha. You've got some serious planning skills sir 👌
Thank you!. It takes time to get there. Don't quit
This video was super helpful!
