SLAY Why have I not known about holding CTRL makes the glowing circle go away. This is LIFE CHANGING. I cant tell you how many times I'm trying to connect two decals and I cant see where one ends and the other starts! I think This was my favorite part of the video! Thanks!
Took me way too long to find that out! Haha. Glad it was helpful!
SAME! I saw this and was like OMG, how did I not know this.
I love all the grass and dirt decals. The genuinely add to the realistic feel and natural beauty of a build! Great video Slay! Thanks for explaining this!
Thanks a ton, Phoenix! I appreciate it!
Imma play Cities because these tutorials are FIRE
Thank you Goisty!
Decals, often overlooked in detailing and especially forgotten about when Macro Detailing Districts or sub regions of a City. But as Slay shows Decals need not necessarily be complex if decal-ing the City a district or even a scene like an industrial lot or an interchange. Nice work as always Slay!
Thank you Palp!
I never paid attention to decals and their use. THANK YOU for this video.
They are SUPER helpful! Enjoy them! Thank you!
always love ur vids slay
so underrated
really good editing on this, decals are always great to use but sometimes they can be glitchy
never new if u held control the circle went away thats so useful
Appreciate it! Thanks Harry!
Great video! I've been struggling with blending decals and this video has helped a ton! Thanks Mr. Slay3K
No problem! Glad it was helpful Willdog!
Thanks mate, this video is super helpful!
Glad it helped! Thank you!
Cant wait to see another detailing video. Thank you for making this useful video
Thank you! I'm glad it's been helpful! Hoping to have more videos soon!
Another good one!
Thank you!
I only have access to cities on a console. When I get a beefer PC, I'll be able to use these tactics.
I love you! Best cities creator 👀
Thanks Howe! Thanks for the music!
BRILLIANT!! Exactly what I was looking for. Extremely helpful for a beginner! THANKS!
Glad it was helpful! Thank you!
Thanks for this comprehensive tutorial! For some reason, I can't adjust the height op decals. Move it does work for roads, networks, props, and everything else. Just not for decals. Any idea what I might be doing wrong or which mod(s) I should enable/disable?
Thanks Vertex! There is an option you need to select, I can't remember if it's in Move It or another mod where you have to "allow submerge" of props and whatnot. That should fix this. I'll have to double check on which mod has that option, but you can go into your saved game and select it from the in game menu.
I'm having trouble fading them into the ground. Page up and and page down aren't working for me. Move It mod seems to only select these decals when I select "surfaces". Won't let me select these deals as "decals" in Move It. Any suggestions???
Another great tutorial video, thanks!
Thank you!
So cool. I wish I had a pc for this game
Seriously gives you so many options when playing! It's amazing.
Nice, really helpful
Thank you!
Excellent videos. Started playing on PC a few months ago. Still learning the tools and what it. This video is pretty helpful. I was wondering if you can make a video about using surface painter, i struggle with it, never find a good way to make it right I guess.
Thank you for the compliments! I appreciate it! Glad it helped!
Surface painter can be really frustrating, but also has some useful times. I'm working on a list of new videos I want to create and I'll see if I can find a way to add this in! Thank you!
@@Slay3K looking forward to it! Thanks!
When I try to place decals I just get a red brush circle and no ability to place decals. I select the decal in Find It! 2 just like shown here - but the result is not the same. I don't get the decal on my cursor and can't place any. It's not an anarchy setting - I can't even see the preview to get far enough for it to be an anarchy issue.
I'm sure I'm missing something basic, but can't figure it out. Any clues?
How do I raise and lower decals? I have MoveIt!. I have Prop Snapping. When I select the decal with Moveit, PageUp and PageDown do nothing. When I put a decal on top of grass or a road, it disappears. I can select it with MoveIt area selection. I now have a bazillion decals and would like to start using them. Secondly, is there a way to easily align decals/props. Yo reference it several times in the videos, without explaining your methods.
You should be able to align decals with Move It, much like any prop. Check out my Move it video for a better break down of how to align props/assets.
You'll need to check your settings, I can't remember if it's under move it or prop snapping.. There should be a setting that 'allows to submerge' once you select that you should have better vertical control of the decal.
I hope this helps.
Great tutorial but one question, when i place a manicured grass decal on ground it adds brownish texture on the edges and below the decal.. how do i fix that?
You may need the Hide It mod. I think that's it at least, where you can remove "Ruin" -- that's what is being placed.
thank you thank you
You are very welcome
whats the asset name of the building you attached the decals to? the one with the fountain... and what type of theme are you using? thank you!
Sorry for the late response, I use a bunch of themes tied together. You can check out my theme mixer video for more information on that.
Not sure what the asset is named and I don't currently have it in my folder. I think it's a part of a Russian architecture set.
After I lower my decals, why do they pop back up after a while? I have these prop mods installed: Prop Line Tool; Prop & tree Anarchy; Prop Snapping. And of course Move It!, and other mods. Is there some setting I need to change? I do have 'Allow prop to submerge' checked in Prop Snapping. I can adjust props heights (non-terrain conforming). Thanks.
I will say that some items are just not able to submerge. Not sure why this is actually, but I know the issue you are talking about.
@@Slay3K .. I think my problem was that I, or some other asset (network) modified the terrain. And several decals pop up when you do that.
combine cracks with patched asphalt decals so some are cracked and some were repaired earlier
Very true Mooks! There's so many options!
This is great! I'm having a problem with my decals height resetting after I sink them into the ground. They either reset when I load a save or just randomly while I'm playing. Have you ever had that or any idea what might cause it?
Thank you! -- You may need to check a setting in the options for a Move it or another mod. I can't remember if it's Move It or Prop anarchy. It's allowing props to "submerge" you need to make sure that is enabled.
Prop snapping, I think.
Man holding CTRL changes my life... but I have an issue with changing visibility of the decal by pressing PageDown. It wont work on my game. Does anybody know how to fix this?
You need to look under settings. I can’t remember if it’s Move It or under prop anarchy, but there’s a setting to submerge items that needs to be checked.
Hi Slaybert would you like to be my friend?
Yed, please. lol.
This is missing some important info, like where to find decals, where to find them once in the game, and whether you need any mods.
Hey there! Most of my videos are made with the understanding that mods will be required as I only do modded gameplay and the videos reflect that, I even bring it up in some of videos I create. I usually go with he understanding that folks watching these have already started utilizing mods and assets.
For my gameplay, all mods and assets come from the steam workshop. In game they can be found via a mod called Finder. You'll also need Move It, Prop Snapping, and potentially Prop and Tree anarchy to replicate what I'm doing in this video.
Great content thanks for making this topic more accessible as you said
Thank you!
I'm sort of confused, I place a road, choose a decal, move it over to the road, and it says "something is already right here" and the street goes red, so I go to "move it" and move it over to the road, and it doesn't show up. I'm confused
You'll need road anarchy. In those settings you can set collision to off. That may be your issue.
@@Slay3K ok thanks I will try that.
can you resize decals iv tried every button
You would have to use the mod Procedural Objects in order to do that.
How do I create transparent decals?
You may need to select an option in the mod Prop Snapping so that you can submerge props and assets. Then, as you hit page down with move it and the decal selected, it should show it's transparency.
Do people walk over decals?
No, they are non-functional. They basically act as stickers.
Slay3K thank you. I am thinking of creating my own plaza and park and I would love to have people walk or stand in every tile
@@johnraymarpiscos8845 To be clear, they will walk over a decal, the thing is that they have to have a sort of purpose for doing so. There has to be a sidewalk or a path for them to walk over it.
You could also consider person generator type building which would spawn people in a specific radius around the spawn point.
Slay3K oh thanks for the tips. I would use both
No problem, sorry for the confusion. Like I said, if you have a path and put decals over it, people will walk through. Decals won’t interfere with where cims navigate. But to fill a plaza, you made need an asset that can generate cims to spawn.
city skyline not like game anymore more like 3d software
Yes, especially with PO.
