The area on the other side of the university (Spruce Heights), across the river, (where you might expand the uni to) would also make a great upscale neighborhood. Close to the city and the suburbs, the university, waterfront.
This series is giving me all the good vibes!! Looking forward to every single episode, just me chilling with some coffee and a blanket. You’re extremely good at being calm, funny and relatable in your videos and it’s just very genuine. Thank you. ❤️
Yo Semaj, this is coming along so nicely!! 😊 Just a heads up that you're gonna need a LOT more space for your Uni if you want to get it to level 5. I'd suggest setting aside a bunch more space in a nearby area, and linking them with your University District. You can have the same University dotted all over the city if it's part of the same district, if that makes sense 😊👍
I thinks it would be nice with a subway station behind the “soccer” station, one in the university and one in the first main city, and som more stops ofc.
I adore this playthrough, so thank you for bring us along while you play! I do love the spaces your place rather then zone - they just seems to have more personality and charm!! If you are going to keep that side section as part of the University, I would totally move the Gymnasium over by the soccer field. I do love that details and effort you put into the new section of residental - can't wait to see Bedford evolve, but I hope it keeps its little subburbs charm!!!
I think a park/hiking trails is definitely the way to go for that hill. Perhaps since the hill is so close to the main part of the city it could kinda be like a heritage site with a bunch of older historical looking properties from the city's past. A lookout on the hill taking in the downtown would also be pretty cool!
Aside from just the fact that I find your voice relaxing, I have really enjoyed watching this series. Makes me want to dust off my mod list and play again. Oh to have time to play all the games. I just love the attention to detail you put into your cities.
Yes I love this series! You could put the observatory on the mansion hill? Then add a bunch of walking paths like you were saying. For the campus I think you could spread the specialised study buildings out a bit over the bridge on that smaller island. Especially the really large ones like the school of law. Lots of universities have their campus buildings spread out like mini towns. Keep the more generalized buildings like the dorms and libraries and study halls in the main area?
i think building the rest of the uni on the other side of the water is better than bulldoze the neighborhood right beside the uni now, so it looks more spread out. And you could do underground paths from inside the uni.
James, I think in the hilly area near the downtown, maybe you could place those low density houses that were meant to be placed on hills. You already used them in a separate part of the city, but tmi think they would work really well on that hill
''Campus Attractiveness" is literally a tab that you see those dosens of times you opened the University menu ;P It consists of "Campus Buildings" and "Varsity Sports". ;)
When you were thinking of putting that fountain Park down and you didn’t I was annoyed you didn’t put it on the road right in front of the main building but then you later put that university fountain down right there so I’m happy
Did anyone else notice the tree popping out of the middle of the fountain at the University? He might have removed it while I wasn't watching, which could have honestly happened since I tend to lose focus.
James, I appreciate these episodes so so much. Watching them is so enjoyable for me and I just wanted to say thank you again! Keep it up (Also yes long episode lets goooo)! :D
Downtown by the statiums should be a party district: bars, night clubs, etc, gives something for peoole to do outside of the games, especially if you're going to turn the beach front into more of a recreational/tourist area.
I thought the law school looked really cool nestled in the hill where you almost placed it. My undergrad university had a law school and it was on the opposite side of the main road from the main campus because it IS a somewhat separate entity and it meant the law students had their own space (the vet school I go do is set up similarly toward the edge of campus - own space and easier for clients to access when they bring in pets). I think the medical school (when you unlock it) would make more sense by the shops with that big parking lot because you'd have patients coming in and that's a more public type of area :D The school of science would make more sense where the law school is because those schools tend to have a mix of undergrad and graduate level students. But I may be overthinking the realism aspect lol
Hey, it’s me, the commenter you were hearing in your head. In my opinion, the fake track is way too big and taking up useful space. I would rather see all the main buildings in the campus area and maybe a remote sports area in the residential zone next to it or the area over the bridge.
Yeaaaah, I think you need a metro system. Loving the city though and yay on uni! You can also spread a campus park area to multiple parts of the map that aren't connected. Biffa has this on a few of his vids but basically you can draw a line out of the main campus area to wherever else you want it, flesh that out, and then delete the connecting line. The two blobs of campus area are part of the same uni and so you can put different buildings in different parts of the city which is something many real life unis do. And may help you with space issues.
Idea on the tracks - if you'd do a tunnel that eventually links to the airport, basically creating an express line to it. It could have a special train that travels superfast but higher cost to ride. We have that in Stockholm (see Arlanda Express).
Another idea: You can take the side rail that connects current industry and the starting zone to the main city and shift it towards the center. That side rail* then could be an express rail from the city heading towards the eventual potential farming industry you mentioned doing right behind the mountains of the starting town. (Hope that made sense and love the series!) EDIT: Okay just finished the episode.. I meant to add that side rail* to the zone where you want to eventually make the airport (not potential farm I guess!) A train track should def run from the city to airport
Observation or large telescope on the hill part would good great also instead of mansions. And maybe a train straight tunnel to the university to connect to the downtown core
I have a suggetion for improving your cycling/pedestrian network. Build a bycicle/foot path from Primrose Hills (near the green footbridge) across the river to Hawthorn District, via the island in the middle. Later, this can be extended to Downtown/Central Station at one end and the university at the other end. Your inhabitants will love this and it would also ease congestion on the two road bridges.
Love the slow pace of this series! I'm on youtube refreshing my home page every day looking forward to new episodes :D One idea, you could add a small bridge from the waterfront over to the little remote island. Maybe turning it into a cool park or some cool modern housing complex? Keep up the great work!
To free up some space for other buildings on the main campus, what about having the professional schools like Law and Medicine on a separate campus in Spruce Heights?
For your mountain, you could do something like Montreal! Montreal downtown is around Mont Royal (in the name of the city) it is a park and a vewing deck for the downtown, and it is sooo popular
I'm pretty sure to increase attractiveness to the University you can add the varsity sport arenas! Maybe you can place a couple in that residential area you included in the campus grounds
My suggestion is to flip the Law School Building so when you look at the front, you see the hills on the back and its framed more nicely. Also because we always see it from that angle.
I don't know if someone already said it, but the map of this city, Santos, is a map based on the real city Santos, which is on the coast of the state of São Paulo in Brazil! And another interesting detail, this city is the home of Santos F.C., the team brought names like Neymar and Pelé to the world of soccer
No, thank YOU for letting us all hang out and watch this city come to life with you! This is by far my favorite city you've done yet (no shade to the others of course but this one's something special) and I really love the combo of functionality and aesthetic detail, I think you've hit the perfect balance between the two. Also, I would love to see timelapses of all the little details like the intersections and the building placement. It would be fun to have some mini or side episodes (like 17.5 or something) if you didn't want to take up space in a "main" episode. Even if there's no voiceover and it just has some chill music or something, I would totally watch it.
University ideas: More parking structures! Also move like 3 dorms into a lil section to the left where the basketball court and houses currently reside! my campus (Cal State Fullerton) has had 3 dorms surrounding a quad with the cafeteria on the fourth side and I always found it charming and convenient!
I feel like the university name should be connected to the cities old roots and call itself “Westvally University” kinda like a historical thing ya know cause that was the cities old name
That one sad tree stood where the University was to go for ever. So should name it after it, like One Tree University or after a tree like, Oak or Red wood ect ect.
Ive been waiting for this university for like 4 episodes, now finally its here!!! James, I think it would be super cool if you use all those realistic department stores and make like a huge mall, it would bring in tourists and more commercial. You can make it like a outdoor mall and have a bunch of pathways connecting and parking lots, I think it would look awesome especially since you'll be designing it. Also another suggestion is to have a historical mansion and make it into a national park either on the hills where the mansions use to be or maybe In the middle of the island would be fun and could ass some story to it. Love this series and cnant wait for more!!!
Think the 2 districts separated by the highway looks amazing and has come together nicely. The transition from it to the downtown flows great and reminds me a lot of where I live.
Going from re-watching your Industries City - Dirtroit to this one is like day and night. Loving the Cities: Skylines content. I find them so chill and relaxing. 🥰
Dirtroit was one of my favorite cites ever. It was awesome. So many creators just... well... James was just so 'real' in the way he worked. I'm so glad he hasn't changed. He just seems to have fun.
this episode was so good, im so excited for the next one! I feel like it might make sense to put the gymnasium inside the track loop, just to save space? i also agree with other commenters that it would be cool to do the med campus and other buildings placed throughout the surrounding neighborhoods like a lot of urban campuses do. either way love how its coming along! :)
Something that could be interesting is a cable car running from near the stadium area, across the hills to make a stop near the fortress, and then crossing the water to the small peninsula opposite.
The Denver, Colorado RTD system always has trains and busses that pass by stops that are marked with "Out of service" or "Not in Service". They are reorganizing the vehicles they have, so not so odd. Not out here at least.
Could you please change the running track at the university to a varsity track!!! the dirt one looks like an eyes sore compared to the rest of the university. there is a finished track in the workshop, where you saw the soccer and baseball fields
Consider putting the university medical school beside the big hospital away from the campus! Also it would be cool if you called you university "Knob University" as a reference to your first CS series. Love how the city is coming along btw.
2 года назад+3
I'm sorry, but I think you should remove the custom running track inside the campus area. It just takes way too much valuable space. Or atleast make it smaller.
Definitely put the bigger faculties outside of the main campus along with dormitories as well. As for the main campus, it could be home to smaller faculties, dormitories, auditorium, etc.
You could put the outdoor study area to the side by the public library in that blank space so it doesn’t take up room for buildings. Just a thought. 🙂🙂
I always get so excited when I see you upload, been really loving this series! Love that you are really enjoying your time as well. I think redoing your ferries is a great idea ! I think you should add a ferry stop next to the terminus of your new tram line in Coleridge Park (it'd also be good for commuting to the elementary school + to the park you were mentioning doing at the begining) and maybe one on the island in the middle? maybe you could put a unique building or something special? idk, just a suggestion!
I love seeing all of your custom intersections. Can you build some of them on camera? I'd love to hear your thought processes and mistakes. I also love that you're getting larger tram and bus vehicles from the workshop instead of just doing metro. Seeing the above ground vehicles adds so much to the city life. Great series!
On that hill can you do a mansion/Palace and some gardens? Or some ruins of a cathedral or similar. Old Hill top Fort maybe? Seems perfect for it given the river and sea being so close for an older city.
idea on the hills ( Ex-Mansion place) could be in the future a nice place for an observatory or a unique museum of sort maybe a lab for research or a college of art or just some big statue or monument ...
holy 1:40 minutes of CS? you're really serving! Edit: since the city's called Bowser Bay, what about Ling Koopa College? Like the Koopalings? Bowser minions? no? ok
Loving this series! Maybe for that intersection with all the sliplanes that goes underneath the rails from previous episode, use tunnels instead of bridge. I think it would look better and more realistic than a bridge going underneath a rail bridge!
You could drag the zoning of the campus with a zoning line to an area you wanna expand the campus to and then cut it off to make it like a “remote part” of the university
Thank *you* for playing, James! I genuinely look forward to each episode, I like just being able to zone out and watch you play for an hour or two. I’ve mentioned before, you’ve inspired me to pick Cities back up myself, though I’m not as good at designing as you are. I’m glad you’re enjoying playing.
Hey James. Love this series and I love how distracted you get because I'm the same way. Can you please do me a favor that has been bugging me for the past few episodes... Can you do a subway line through out. It takes up very little room and it's very popular. I think it would improve the public transport of the city. Thanks again for the videos
I haven't finished video yet, but Uni buildings can be connected via foot paths, they don't necessarily need roads. Edit: literally 10 seconds after I type this James' realizes it : D
Love the series, I do have to say, almost every time you say “there’s no way that’s realistic” about something, it exists in Los Angeles in some form. Thanks again for the enjoyment!
as for the uni name, lone tree university, for the one tree that’s been there, waiting for the actual campus to be built
There's also a tree in the center of the fountain across from the main building. Definitely needs a tree-themed name.
I think making the mansion hill a park with hiking trails is a great idea. Could get some lookouts over the sea.
The area on the other side of the university (Spruce Heights), across the river, (where you might expand the uni to) would also make a great upscale neighborhood. Close to the city and the suburbs, the university, waterfront.
This series is giving me all the good vibes!! Looking forward to every single episode, just me chilling with some coffee and a blanket. You’re extremely good at being calm, funny and relatable in your videos and it’s just very genuine. Thank you. ❤️
I can finally sleep peacefully now knowing the university is in
Yo Semaj, this is coming along so nicely!! 😊 Just a heads up that you're gonna need a LOT more space for your Uni if you want to get it to level 5. I'd suggest setting aside a bunch more space in a nearby area, and linking them with your University District. You can have the same University dotted all over the city if it's part of the same district, if that makes sense 😊👍
If you want university attractiveness, drag your uni region over your sports stadiums for the varsity sport stuff :)
Loving the series!

FINALLY THE UNIVERSITY VIDEO!!!

I do like the tall black tower. Feels like some evil mastermind's totes not obvious lair.
I would like the big university building half inside the mountain,it looks really nice
Yes I love this series!
You could put the observatory on the mansion hill? Then add a bunch of walking paths like you were saying.

Outdoor study area could go on the blank spot to the right of campus
2:14 lower the one lane road so that it goes under the two lane. That should solve the random backups in traffic.
''Campus Attractiveness" is literally a tab that you see those dosens of times you opened the University menu ;P
It consists of "Campus Buildings" and "Varsity Sports". ;)
i enjoy these videos so much, they made me want to play the game again even tho im bad at it and get frustrated with it really quickly :'D ♡
Flabaliki: Where should the gymnasium go? hmm....
me to me: I DonT KNoW MaYBe As Far AWaY FrOm THe TraCk AS POSSIBLE!!!

I LOVE this series!!!
James, can u build the small island in the middle of two town some attraction where car is not allowed? If its possible though
Isn't there a school of creative arts, or something like that, that acts as a high school but fits in better in built up, high rise areas?
i love watching these videos! :-)
oh my god... what if you built a small themepark on that island in the middle
I was almost screaming at the screen, because "Campus Attractiveness" have a big own title in the middle of the dialogue box... xD
love the series ♥
I love it
Thanks for letting me play with you, mwah ha haaaa
James, I appreciate these episodes so so much. Watching them is so enjoyable for me and I just wanted to say thank you again! Keep it up (Also yes long episode lets goooo)! :D
For me too. I don't understand why watching these videos seeing the city getting build is more fun than playing the game.
@@seekingjannahpeacefulbarza1487 Haha yeees that too is the same for me!
Downtown by the statiums should be a party district: bars, night clubs, etc, gives something for peoole to do outside of the games, especially if you're going to turn the beach front into more of a recreational/tourist area.
this is a great idea, the bars wouldn't care about the noise either.
I thought the law school looked really cool nestled in the hill where you almost placed it.

But I may be overthinking the realism aspect lol
it’s really common for universities to have law, sciences, arts, sports etc separated and could make some really cool “zones”!
Can we have a ferry and a tram bridge that cross the river to the “West” Campus. I would love to take a trolley to class!
Or a cable car/gondola
Hey, it’s me, the commenter you were hearing in your head.
In my opinion, the fake track is way too big and taking up useful space. I would rather see all the main buildings in the campus area and maybe a remote sports area in the residential zone next to it or the area over the bridge.
Old Mansion Hill could be one of those “Little Mongolia” or “Little Zurich” cultural neighborhoods with its own theme.
Yeaaaah, I think you need a metro system. Loving the city though and yay on uni! You can also spread a campus park area to multiple parts of the map that aren't connected.

Wow, I was thinking something along the same lines. That would be both practical and look awesome!
There was an old suggestion to honor the Lone Tree that stands in the middle of the campus area. I feel it needs it's own plaza
Love the slow pace of this series! I'm on youtube refreshing my home page every day looking forward to new episodes :D

I like that the University has already bought up that neighborhood and there’s nothing the current occupants can do about it.
@@kedamour that's capitalism for ya lmao
@@SillySimmuz haha!! So true.
… though isn’t this a state school?
@@kedamour they probably complained before as well...
One of those damned if you do, damned if you don't situations.
@@SillySimmuz compared to the current alternatives, I'll take it.
Maybe you could start recording your doing it on your own stuff, and posting it with super fast speed and no voice over. I’d watch that for sure
Yes! I want to see him do literally everything 😂
Time lasp the things he did off screen that way he can see. It doesn't have to be voice over but I do enjoy those
My suggestion is to flip the Law School Building so when you look at the front, you see the hills on the back and its framed more nicely. Also because we always see it from that angle.

the mini episodes of just decorating would be so relaxing what a good idea!!
University ideas: More parking structures!

yes the dorms don't have to be close to the main building or where the classes are held, could be in their own little section with cafeteria nearby
The mini heart attack I had when you said the series was over 😂. I let this play while I’m working and love this series so much. Thanks for making it.
Put the stadiums in the same campus area as the campus itself. The attractiveness will go up
I feel like the university name should be connected to the cities old roots and call itself “Westvally University” kinda like a historical thing ya know cause that was the cities old name

I’d love to watch you make some of those custom interchanges and detailing and stuff - I find that stuff so satisfying! ❤️
I think a ferry should go to the colerige park area instead of only bedford.
this episode was so good, im so excited for the next one! I feel like it might make sense to put the gymnasium inside the track loop, just to save space? i also agree with other commenters that it would be cool to do the med campus and other buildings placed throughout the surrounding neighborhoods like a lot of urban campuses do. either way love how its coming along! :)
5:58 I quite like that building. It looks interesting.
Something that could be interesting is a cable car running from near the stadium area, across the hills to make a stop near the fortress, and then crossing the water to the small peninsula opposite.
The hills could be a park, maybe with 1 historical building that people would visit.
I'm thinking that adding the beach-side stadiums to the university campus area will really help out with meeting the attractiveness goals.
The Denver, Colorado RTD system always has trains and busses that pass by stops that are marked with "Out of service" or "Not in Service". They are reorganizing the vehicles they have, so not so odd. Not out here at least.
Could you please change the running track at the university to a varsity track!!! the dirt one looks like an eyes sore compared to the rest of the university. there is a finished track in the workshop, where you saw the soccer and baseball fields
I have never been this early!
Hi, James, hope you and Deli are doing well. Thanks for keeping me entertained :)
Consider putting the university medical school beside the big hospital away from the campus! Also it would be cool if you called you university "Knob University" as a reference to your first CS series. Love how the city is coming along btw.
I'm sorry, but I think you should remove the custom running track inside the campus area. It just takes way too much valuable space. Or atleast make it smaller.
Definitely put the bigger faculties outside of the main campus along with dormitories as well. As for the main campus, it could be home to smaller faculties, dormitories, auditorium, etc.
Is there some kind of science thing you could put up thereon the hilly part where you have the mountains? Observatory? Planetarium?
You could put the outdoor study area to the side by the public library in that blank space so it doesn’t take up room for buildings. Just a thought. 🙂🙂
We finally got to it 😅
Make this series till 50+ eps, because I love it james
You should do a part of the university over in spruce heights and then have a raised metro or monorail going between the campus’s :)
And maybe even continue onto the varsity stadiums
I always get so excited when I see you upload, been really loving this series! Love that you are really enjoying your time as well.
I think redoing your ferries is a great idea ! I think you should add a ferry stop next to the terminus of your new tram line in Coleridge Park (it'd also be good for commuting to the elementary school + to the park you were mentioning doing at the begining) and maybe one on the island in the middle? maybe you could put a unique building or something special? idk, just a suggestion!

I also love that you're getting larger tram and bus vehicles from the workshop instead of just doing metro. Seeing the above ground vehicles adds so much to the city life. Great series!
In regards to your campus size, you can always do what Biffa does, draw lines of campus out to "satiate" campuses then erase the line.
On that hill can you do a mansion/Palace and some gardens? Or some ruins of a cathedral or similar. Old Hill top Fort maybe? Seems perfect for it given the river and sea being so close for an older city.
A few mom-and-pop-esque shops as a small commercial area on campus could be nice. For instance, a little convenience store, book shop, café, etc.
idea on the hills ( Ex-Mansion place) could be in the future a nice place for an observatory or a unique museum of sort maybe a lab for research or a college of art or just some big statue or monument ...
holy 1:40 minutes of CS? you're really serving!
Edit: since the city's called Bowser Bay, what about Ling Koopa College? Like the Koopalings? Bowser minions? no? ok
The school of law is so big (and would be very important to a campus), maybe face it towards that side entrance and make it a secondary main entrance.
You should try to turn on road collision when you're using a broader tree brush over pathways and stuff.
Loving this series! Maybe for that intersection with all the sliplanes that goes underneath the rails from previous episode, use tunnels instead of bridge. I think it would look better and more realistic than a bridge going underneath a rail bridge!
you could put some leisure/tourism between the stadiums and the city (e.g. pubs & restaurants to go to before a game)
You could drag the zoning of the campus with a zoning line to an area you wanna expand the campus to and then cut it off to make it like a “remote part” of the university
Would love to see him do this onto the empty area to the left of the campus so the residential area with the soccer field stays!
You should call the university "CSU" (Cities: Skylines University)
That ADORABLE little custom intersection in the beginning 😙👌
I love watching the detail work both the “this is what I did off cam” and the “hyperfocus on this detail that is not progressing the goals” one!
Ps: “University of Bowser Hills” (UBH! Go ChowChows!) is my name suggestion
it'd be nice to have a water feature or some sort of lake in the campus area :)
It would be cool to put an observatory on the hill top à la Los Angeles
Thank *you* for playing, James! I genuinely look forward to each episode, I like just being able to zone out and watch you play for an hour or two. I’ve mentioned before, you’ve inspired me to pick Cities back up myself, though I’m not as good at designing as you are. I’m glad you’re enjoying playing.
Hey James. Love this series and I love how distracted you get because I'm the same way. Can you please do me a favor that has been bugging me for the past few episodes... Can you do a subway line through out. It takes up very little room and it's very popular. I think it would improve the public transport of the city. Thanks again for the videos
I haven't finished video yet, but Uni buildings can be connected via foot paths, they don't necessarily need roads. Edit: literally 10 seconds after I type this James' realizes it : D
This series is awesome. It's my go to relax watch. I really look forward to these videos. Take your time, I could watch these for ages!! Much love ❤️
Love the series, I do have to say, almost every time you say “there’s no way that’s realistic” about something, it exists in Los Angeles in some form. Thanks again for the enjoyment!
