You sir are a genius when it comes to creating cities with Cities Skylines and I can't even begin to imagine what you will be able to accomplish whenever Cities Skylines 2 is released. Thank you sharing your knowledge and insights into this amazing game. It's because of people like you that makes the Cities Skylines community so awesome. I hope your channel will continue to grow because you definitely deserve all the exposure that you receive because no one does it better then you.
Awww bro what kind words! Thank you🙏🏻❤️
8 years old and still great masterpieces to be made!
No more vanila gameplay
🙏🏻❤️
I use fencing to block zoning off other nearby streets and force the street assigner program to use the street of my choice and give me zoning blocks the shape i want. It also protects the zoned buildings from new streets I lay after they have grown.
That‘s clever;)
This one is a lifesaver for the next two years of my gameplay after i found it. Another reason to love Parklife DLC.
I make extensive use of fences. Where I live, there's fences everywhere! In cities skylines, unless you expend a lot of effort, not so much. Where I live, it's also common to have named subdivisions, with just a handful of exits. Maybe even a fancy sign. So I like to do that too.
I have been doing this on the console version. Works great without access to Zoning adjuster mod the PC version has.
you can make boardwalks for your harbours by enclosing the harbour, leveling the terrain to just above sea level and raising your paths to just bellow ground level (but above water level, once they are all in place, lower the ground and refill harbour for smart board walks and marinas
That‘s a great tip i have to try that!
@@imperatur Would love to see you make a video of this because I can't quite get my head around it. I've been busy making railway flyovers since I saw your video on 5 Railway Hacks a week or two ago. 😂
@@onlybradparkeri feel this. I'm confused
I was happy to see you in the 'Best Cities of 2022' video, you deserved it!
Hehe:)
A thing I myself figured out only recently is that you actually get ploppable buildings (services etc) at the very end of an dead-end road, as in where there's no squares and can't normally plot stuff down at, facing towards the road. First make a the end of a road into a T-shape, plop down your building now that the "top line of the T" give squares to plop stuff down to, then just delete the "top line" roads. Set up a neat lookin graveyard like this, with a road going straight at it, and have also used this for some industries stuff. As long as a building doesn't complain that it doesn't have a connection it works pretty well, the building's enterance doesn't even have to completely match with the road.
Have pics or videos? I'd like to see this.
@@KyNYC212 Think a CZcams spam protection thing keeps blockin my comment, anyway I tweeted pics on this on Jargonmetal
This can happen because buildings in CS actually has some extra allowed distance to connect them to the road. Another way to make use of this feature is to have buildings on a wide 6-lane road, then upgrade the road to a narrower one. The buildings will work just fine but now you have those extra space to separate the buildings from the road.
Easier way to do it is by using "Move It" mods as it allows you to move/put buildings whereever you like.
@@syl_ouette Oh yeah, I use it for adding extra paths in front of buildings like schools, but yeah the process there is definitely much simpler. And yeah Move It works great, not for console players such as myself tho.
I use this trick as well, primarily to place parks in the middle of a city block with minimal road connections. Makes nice looking courtyards, for example in the middle of high-density European buildings.
The water pumps also work while switched off. Run a deep canal, put twice the amount of water pumps as sewage outlets, connect the water pumps only to themselves, wait till the pumps start to suck up the sewage then turn them off. That way you don't spend the budget and it's a great way to deal with sewage early game.
Like the pfp
That‘s really clever!
I didn’t knew that
I tried that technique but water pumps stops sucking water once it reaches the 120k m3 capacity
@@siky0h530 Are you sure? It's still working for me at 480,000. When you add to the capacity you sometimes have to switch the pumps that are off back on before turning them all back off again. As soon as you see the waste water start to decrease because the pumps exceed the drain you're good.
@@psyseraphim not sure if it's 120k m3. I'm pertaining to the maximum capacity of the waterpump..
I hope they adjust the height of street lamps in C:S2. It always drove me nuts that we have to put a street or bridge at 15 - 18 meters in order to not have clipping. Average street lamp height is 9-14 feet, or approximately 4 meters. Weird thing, I know, but it's driven me crazy for nearly 2000 hours of gameplay.
This drives me nuts too. I literally was just complaining about it to myself again today while playing. I can fit 6 stacked trucks under the overpass but it still pokes out lol
For this reason, I have been trying to make my overpasses that doesn't go over any of the street lights. But just in between them.
The creativity of the cs community is amazing
One trick that I don't ever see anyone talk about is how to get artificial "timed traffic lights" on vanilla or consoles and get rid of the left turn issue at traffic lights. It's easier with 3 way intersections but can be done with 4+ if you play around. If the game thinks there are different individual roads at an intersection, they get their own light. There's two ways to do it. Make a straight 90° turn (L) and add the intersecting road at an angle so no roads meet straight on (like a Y). Or if you have a pre-made T intersection, delete it, take the road that ends (the "I" portion), and stop it 2 squares short of being lined up with the intersecting road. The intersecting road will have a slight curve when you connect it now, and the lane that showed straight should now show turning. Now each direction has its own turn with a green light, no more left turn choke ups

Now THIS is what great content looks like, keep it coming sir, so stay with us all through CS5 and onwards 😍😍
😋❤️
My favorite hack:
You can make 90 degree highways!
The very basic 2-lane 2-way highway can connect to other roads and highways at a 90 degree angle. Set up your turn and then upgrade it to the multi-lane-mono-direction of your choice.
Practical? Yes. Safe? Never.
But where we’re going, we don't need airbags...
Don't have to worry about car crashes when your vehicle has no collison mechanics
I didn't know about any of these hacks and yet they're SOOOO useful! Thanks for the tips!
Yeah, I learned about the water pump trick recently. Placed one beside the sewage outlet and my oceans aren't getting very polluted.
We need more episodes of berlin!!!!
Yees:D
Bro chill aheem heem heem
@@imperatur You actually only have to press page up or down to raise or lower footpaths and roads
0:25 Didn’t know that, thanks! 😬 Very helpful if the current university campus is full with buildings…
Ha! Yep, the paths over/under roads is a new one on me! Superb... I wonder if 8 years from now we'll be mulling over new hacks still relatively unknown in the sequel.
i hope cs2 will have super smooth intersections
Similar to the 1st one, you can mix different kinds of parks in one painted zone.
I usually make a combined zoo and theme park seems realistic as there are such places where I live
So the path anarchy hack does work on console. At first I thought it didn't then I noticed some of my pre-constructed paths were doing it accidentally when I attached a new section. In the next fresh part of my city I tried again and so long as the terrain height difference is no more than 3 metres below you can cross at a 6 metre height.
Last one was really cool I never thought the monorail could accessorize like that
Dang, great tips! I just verified that "footpath anarchy" works on my PS5 running Remastered, and it's already improving my current build. Thank you again!
Really enjoyed watching this video and learned some new stuff as well.
The last question you asked at about 6:40 "Do you know any more City Skylines Hacks?" sounded slightly different and the English subtitles of CZcams agreed with my probably dirty mind.
so grateful I grew up with this game
Always something new to learn with CS. Thank you.
The water pump hack is the most Dutch thing I've seen in CS 😂😂😂
I have been playing CS since day 1. I have thousands of hours invested in gameplay. Today 8 years after I first installed the game I discover the genius tip on creating multi districts. My flabber is gasted!
10 out of 10 for vanilla tricks !
They are always welcome! 🙂
Pretty sure someone was working on an asset to be able to use the monorail as a rollercoaster (without loops etc) and someone was also working on a track that looked like a water flume with monorail train that looked like an inflatable
If you are playing vanilla, i.e. without move-it, one way to get more control while terrain editing is to use streets as temporary helpers. Outline the area you want to raise or lower with an asphalt street, do your terrain editing, and then bulldoze the streets. This was a common trick people used in SimCity and CS before Move-it came along.
The trick of disconnected "island" districts is a true game changer. You can also use it to place parklife assets into the backyards of high density residential blocks (boosting attractiveness and looks) or airport hotels near the city (watch out for terrain levels here!). This best game ever won't stop surprising even after more years!
Thanks for sharing your tipps and tricks
It does, ive stumbled upon it when building a city that failed(later on)
Awesome!:)
Always something new to learn. Thanks
nice vid! could you maybe make a video with your graphic settings or just link them in the descripion like you did with the old ones? would be awesome!
These are the best types of videos
I‘m glad you like them:)
This is the best youtuber ive ever seen!!
Edit:YES I LIKE MY OWN COMMENT
Aww thanks bro!
@@imperatur NO PROBLEM MY GUY YOU ARE THE BEST!!
With cs2 not coming to my console in the next years, I picked up the latest cs1 dlc and started a new city in remastered.
Needed a bit of Imperatur inspiration to get going again.
One of my favourite tricks (I'd expected in this vid) is placing plopables non-adjacent to roads by using temporary roads. Great for placing buildings at an angle, decorations in front of buildings, metrolines at a nicer angle and parks behind side gates.
Draw a short road 90° at the end of where you want a ferry terminal so it's on the level of the road and you won't get that odd hump outside your ferry terminal
Waiting for your first creation in CS2
Yees haha me too
Die Tipps für die Wege sind krank!
Danke!
For some reason cycle paths are able to connect with fences. The path can then be upgraded to a footpath, allowing pedestrians to walk through the fence.
This sir is a fantastic video! I’m excited to get back to the game and try.
Bravo, so clever! Brb going to change my pedestrian path heights in my current WIP.
The Pedestrian Path Anarchy was a real surprise to me. Most interesting!
This video was very informational! Thank you my city is saved
Your city shots are so beautiful! I am so jealous
>District Enclaves trick
Hoo, man, i've done this often when i just wanted my single-type park to get enough visitors and i'm just lazy enough to build another park with the same type. I imagined it as "under single management" for the whole city.
Same with industrial parks and universities, the latter since some of the universities in my city has multiple campuses, one of them even has 5 and spread out accross the city.
>Footpath Anarchy trick
Nope, not going to use the first one because that would be count as jaywalking, haha.
The second one is nice, but perhaps would not be implemented in my downtown.
About the third one, that one is very nice, and i'm taking note on that for the future uses. Thanks
>Highway-Road-Highway Upgrade trick
Yep, done this numerous times before. Thanks, anyway.
> Pump trick and Monorail trick
Oh well, looks still a bit iffy for me lol.
Nice your back Alvin:D
Sweet tip with sidewalk anarchy, I'll test on the ps5 as soon as I can. 😎
Awesome. I think I will try a few of this hacks in my new Town. 👍
Awesome!:)
I know of one little hack that improves the look of the dlc paths connection to road paths, I hope this makes sense.
Get the base concrete path, take off all the anarchy options except the angles one, bring the path to the road path as far as just before the half moon (don't do half moon as you can't upgrade the path) then upgrade to dlc paths and the path will be perfectly connected to the road path without that ugly concrete part anymore, you seem intelligent so I'm sure you'll figure out what I'm meaning. Your videos are awesome 👍
These "vanilla" hacks are so good. Thank you!
Love the tips , keep it up
I just build the quary infront of a cargo hub, so the railtracks can leave on ground instead as bridge over the water...
Every day we have found out new things! Great! Thanks for this!
Will these hacks and tricks be standard features in CS:2? One can only hope!
I hope so too
A great hack i found was making steps from a body of water up to street level. So if you want to put a mansion near water and have a beach access. Get the concrete benches and put them all in a line. The height can be adjusted using move it mod to have them all uniform to appear as steps. Then take a brick wall and have it line along the sides of the steps. Put them on both sides of steps. They too can be exactly lined how you want by using Shift+page up or page down to line them on both sides of steps. It looks really cool.
I like the goalpost idea, i really hope C:S 2 has Football Field, Small Football Ground, Large Football Ground & International Stadium for selection.. with policies for European/World Cup and Domestic League, instead of C:S1 where your city plays the same 5 teams over and over & always win, how do they always win ? the city has lots of tennis and basketball parks.
Yes that would be great
Didn't CS just let out a CCP with all of that tho?
@@Lonelyeco it has stadiums , but that's it, there's no depth to it.
park's do not have sport animations, you cannot name your team it's only campus teams you can rename, none of them are implemented into the campus, & there's not much depth to what you can do with big sporting events.. for example if your Team win the league in real life there's usually an open top bus parade through the city with street parties & Hosting big games in competitions also comes with it's policies & city problems accomodating international fans.. Fan fests, public transport, hotels etc etc.
What are your settings for the cliff textures? Great video btw!
Hi, imperatur. What is the VRAM usage of your GPU when you play the game? Maybe it will be interesting if you make a video with your recommendations for the best CS system requirements.
Thank you, have a nice day too :)
- A bit of a personal preference, but in grid cities I like to put a path down the middle of a block. Looks a bit like a laneway (which is common in old grid style towns in Australia) and also improves walkability of your city.
- Have two cargo rail stations instead of one. One for one direction, one for the other. Lowers the chance of trains blocking each other and allows smoother import/export of goods.
- Office zone buildings generate virtually no traffic, so are good "filler" buildings along busy roads.
YO! That sewage pipe trick just hatched an Idea in my head I am going to do later when I hop on City Skylines.
If you make the road monorail tracks then connect a monorail track to it then ad traffic lights then upgrade the road back to the same road as before you get a traffic light crossing
I’m super surprised you didn’t include the double decker street
if i didnt find you, maybe i stop play cities skylines earlier 😆
Wow nice:))
The water pump use! I need that for the sewage problem for a new city I'm building. Thank you.
THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!
Brother you are amazing!!
I hope that in city skylines too. They make it so that paths on higher levels aren't so ridiculously high.
And maybe making it so that semi trucks will actually go in the building that they are delivering to rather than halting traffic.
And I'd really love it if it would be possible to make a city without cars..
And maybe a zombie outbreak dlc or something crazy (I'd pay $30 if they could make it a FPS, even if its only for like 5 minutes of fun)
YAY A NEW VIDEO!
😋☺️
Monrail goals! Damn… should have thought of that… 😂
You are the best CS player, for 'vanilla' players (like me).
nice tricks 💙
What filter or game lighting settings/mods do you use to get the game to look so nice?
Actually we need a hack to enable a 2023-Style amount of FPS, DLSS and - as a bonus - Raytracing.
That would be nice haha
6:40 🙋♂️Ja, ich kenne ein paar Hacks😄
Gutes Video, kannte das mit dem Gehweg noch garnicht
It's a crazy eye-opening information and a true Cities hack!😂
Beautiful
On the path anarchy, you can add a cross walk simply by changing one segment of the road to a different type with the same lane count.
Danke für die Tips :)
Danke fürs zu sehen:)
i never knew 4 of these hacks, i knew the quay everywere hack because i usde it in older videos, and my god cs is 8 years old my good god😄😇
Yess it‘s crazy how time flies…
@@imperatur hey imperatur it me Tim, I got something sad to say, do to some reasons with money and personel stuff I can't be a member anymore, it was fun while it lasted, if I can be a member again I will definitely be one, sorry bro😔
Und das vor dem release von CS2 xD Aber gut zu wissen für eine aller letzte Stadt ^^ DANKE! Und noch eine Frage. Wie bekommst du es so flüssig hin bei solch einer Stadt und noch bei diesem geilen aussehen? Ich habe einen Ryzen 9 5900x und eine rx 6900 xt sowie 32 gb 3600 mhz ram xD
Bro das game ist alles andere als flüssig😂
@@imperatur warum sieht das dann so aus? Bin bei 35-40 fps mit über 20 mods und keine Ahnung über 100te Objekte😂🤷🏼hoffentlich wird CS2 besser programmiert, wird nämlich wieder die Unity Engine… hast du eigentlich einen Discord Server?🤷🏼
Face reveal! POGGERS
That’s not me:D
Try using nature reserve paths as fields
nice tricks
Good stuff.
You actually only have to press page up or down to raise or lower footpaths and roads
I know but the lowest elevation is 9m heigh
Which is stupidly high
3:46 and they say Germans don't have a sense of humour
🎉
☺️🙏🏻
I thought I was good. Apparently, not so. These hacks are awesome. Thanks for sharing. I'll be using these in the city I just started a ccouple days ago.
Finally no Berlin episode ngl but I don't really like that series it's a bit confusing, especially with mods.
What do you find confusing?
@@imperatur mods it’s just I don’t really understand it but you don’t have to change it there is some pros and cons.
5:12 now that's smart!
Waaahhhh... I'm in the video!!! 😃
Yeees🥰
There's another water 'hack' and that is industrial buildings are not bothered by polluted water in pipes. Kinda useless trivia, but yeah.
That second song it the video got me like 🕺🕺🕺
And now we get football pitches and the goal prop hehe
u can use bridges and piers as normal roads
Parking lots and garages are coming 😁
Me when Footpath Anarchy: *Wait, that's illegal.*
Can you make train speed 🚅 like 999 miles? And how look ?
