So glad this series is back. Originally I used to watch them when I was at uni, I'd fall asleep to them. Then I got engaged when one of them was playing in the background. Now I'm married with 2 cats and a mortgage and I'm watching them whilst doing work 🥲
omg i used to fall asleep to them also when in school
I've been watching James longer than I've known my husband of 11 years. I 100% feel this comment. Love from Oregon
I still fall asleep watching them! Hoping I can finish this episode tonight before I drop off 😂
Same story with me
I watch these to sleep too!
You should make it so they have to go very slow in front of the elementary school, that’s how it is in my town, and it’d make that route worse for the trucks
40km school zone haha
@@emilyauld8622 Yeah more like 30. Pretty common in The Netherlands (near a school)
In the US we typically have flashing lights that indicate certain times to go slower, corresponding to the schools usual start and end times... So it's not an inconvenience until it needs to be
As a British person, for the whole 1st five minutes of this video I was thinking: just make it a roundabout!
sameee think this for so much of this series lol
I was screaming at my monitor. But it turned out well in the end.
Same! And I'm an Aussie same as the creator.. we have plenty of roundabouts here! Not like the US where they seem to not have any
i live in a city in Florida with a few roundabouts
@@TheLastBeanBender they’re everywhere in europe, it’s great
VERY IMPORTANT< IF JUNCTION IS TOO BIG GAME WILL BUG people cant cross, so the sims get stuck near the crossing, and accumulate. i lost 2 saves like that because after some time theres so many people there that deleting the node with everyone there crashes the game
paths can fix, but people still might get stuck. be carefull
Thanks for the heads up, my guy. I was going to try it myself, but I'm not risking anything if it could break my save!
Ive had it happen but never crashed my game yet though. They are pain to spot, but luckily its pretty rare and somewhat predictable.
Thanks for heads up! It looks ok from what I’ve seen so far, but definitely good to keep an eye one
@@GODOFHELLFIRE3 I would defnetly recomend the mod, a few carefull steps can prevent this, disallowing crossing and providing pathways where the crossing was is a great way to deal. Also, make sure that when editing the nodes you leave the segment corners near each other.
maybe what you could do, James, is start time-stamping the video: that way people who don’t really care about lane marking can skip it
Big agree with this. Like I don't mind the slow building/rambling. But the lane painting is just tooo slow for me personally :P
@@michaelvd2140 For me lane painting is soo relaxing, so I think this idea is the best of both worlds :)
Yes please
Agree.. that node-controller shizzle i know but it's not interesting to view one messing with it. Kinda boring.
I honestly love watching the line markings and all these smaller details! I wish I had the patience to do it in my own cities!
You can use the "Old town" city planning policy to prohibit vehicles to go into a district if their destination isn't in the district
This!
@@LadyLexyStarwatcher Yeah - I was yelling that at my screen too.
I'm not a fan of the road lines parts (I do like the results though) but if it's short just like in this video then I can forward it and everyone who do enjoy it can still watch it
I like seeing the line markings being done on screen. There's something satisfying about it
This ^ I love hearing him explain the process. But maybe I like this because this is how I play games
8:40 ah yes, the pedestrian path to hell
But it didn't lead to any schools...
🤣
I don’t know if you will see this in time, but I think the elevated train line would look pretty cool
I love watching the lane marking, but maybe timestamp for people who don't like it?
I would greatly appreciate that 😂
What a good idea!
Agree! Sometimes I’m in the mood to watch it, other times I get bored!
Love the ASMR feel of this series and actually getting to see things with little to no cuts in the video
Some time stamps if you want to skip lane management, node experimentation and lane markings! I personally like to watch them for improving my own gameplay, but since we're learning together it can be a bit slow.
14:00 - 24:00 Lane marking, lane management, custom line making
26:00 - 32:00 Lane marking, lane management and experimenting with new intersection mod
35:00 Back to city planning and city expansion
37:15 - 38:30 More custom intersection experimenting and management
1:00:30 Existential crisis
1:02:30 - 1:03:40 Lane magament, AI management
1:00:30 ‘s title💀💀💀
Thank you so much for this!
you can use the old time polecie to fors only vehicles that need to be there to use thoze roads
Thanks for doing this series again, it’s really been helping with my anxiety and makes me want to play the game again
We want to see everything James! Don't worry!
Line-marking is some of my favorite things to do in Cities: Skylines. It's kind of relaxing to watch you do it :D.
This series is just fantastic. My favourite ever Cities Skylines series on yt. All from one of the OG creators on the game. Thank you James 🙏
I think a London City like airport could fit really well
Doing intersections and Line markings are my ABSOLUTE FAVORITE in modded cities!
I know not everyone likes it so I wouldn't mind if it was cut out, but at least show us the final results. TY for your work ❤️💯
I haven't played Cities Skyline in a year but because of James, I stayed up till 3am just to restart and build a new city from scratch because I was so inspired. I wish my city was as well-thought out as yours. You have so much patience!
Dude, it's so good to have you back!
As for the line drawing, I actually quite like it... maybe speed build line drawing with voice over?
That’s a cool idea! I would love that
I'm eating dinner while watching this and the sudden sinkhole made me laugh so hard I almost choked on a potato. Also thanks so much for the mod list!
In the node controller you have an option "remove markings" it doesn't disable the crossings but just hides the default game ones. This way you can make much more beautiful crossings with the line marking tool. These aren't so janky and crooked as the default game ones
Thanks for these long, chill videos, James
Parker Street turning onto Peters Street, into the new commercial (housing) district, could have an underpass below Edwards Highway to avoid the new traffic lights.
Hehe Peter's Parker
@@cyvintyranea5329 exactly what i was thinking
You don't even know how much I needed this video this evening. I could watch/listen to you lane mark all day, so you've got my approval 😅
A bit of line painting is fun, but more than one junction in a row is too much for me! Otherwise, loving this series, the chill pace is just what I needed. I'm so glad you're feeling the Cities mojo again.
These long, chilled out, relaxed videos are always good! Line marking, fiddling with nodes, doing prop stuff - it's all good.
I actually love watching the roads get like customised and stuff, it’s relaxing lmao
I’m in for the lane painting! Idk if it’s my OCD or whatever but I live for those moments!
Sameeeee
This series is SO GOOD. You're really good at building and I love attention to detail tbh
I like watching you draw lines on the roads lol. It is pretty chill even when you accidentally destroy your entire work with tree roads 😂 I had a good laugh at that. I’ve been binging this series today. It’s been cool
I loved the parking thing and then the tree roads on top of that lmaaao
i always enjoy the more slow, chilled out gameplay. things like placing roads and decorations to detail the city.
Normally I don't really like all the fine detailing but there's something about this series that just has me vibing with it. Keep the lining in
I love the line-markings and other small details. Those things make the city look much more alive and unique.
I'm not a huge fan of the line painting. A little bit is fine, but I don't find it very interesting when it goes on for a long time. My favorite part is when you go to a blank space and start building roads while explaining what kind of area it will be. And you zone it and add parks and pathways and special buildings, then the people start moving in and building it up! I like to imagine what it would be like to live in that area or drive through. I love when you put little corner stores, and I can imagine walking down a block or two on a hot day to grab a popsicle or walking on the little paths to get to a park! Very quaint and satisfying to me to think about the lives these little people can live
Is there an option to prohibit heavy traffic through your suburbs? That would help keep the trucks/commercial traffic out of your residential areas.
I don't love the lane marking parts, but I suppose it's part of the game, so if you like it, keep going. (That was the most fence-sitting response ever)
District policies?
I’m used to James being a bossy know it all, so I’m really enjoying watching him bumble his way through this. 😂
personally really enjoy the small details like lane markings and all the little things. oddly satisfying to watch
I enjoy watching the lane markings being done! When I do my own saves, it's handy to see someone else do them in action first, and if i want to replicate something, follow along!
I love watching you detailing the city with intersection lines and all that. Very chill and very satisfying. Thank you
I love
‘The Joy of Line Marking with flabiliki’
I watch these videos as I unwind for the night and the background music is even spot on. Soothing voice. I will watch you paint road lines and place a happy little tree here and a happy little tree there.
James, I love the micromanagement of the road lines. I'd love to see more! It's something I wish I had the patience to do 😂 it's very satisfying to watch you do it though. Please carry on!
I find it very relaxing watching you detail the city... I also learn some things, and/or get new ideas for my own gameplay. I just started playing recently again after a few years of not playing, and then I saw you had a new series up and I was like "just in time to get back in the game." I had a decent city going, but then I had a horrible death wave and my whole economy collapsed... it did not recover from that. P.S.: Yeah some of the street marking are strange to me, but like you said you are going by what you know. I grew up in the U.S. but I am currently living in Mexico, I don't drive here since almost everyone I know here has stick shift and I only know how to drive an automatic but I do see the markings on the roads are different here than back home in the U.S.
The overhead shot at 1:18:15 showed a really nice view of the sprawling cityscape you've built. Seeing how your slow, steady progress builds into something more than the sum of its parts is one of my favorite things about this game
Thank you for the regular uploads. I’m sure you’re still busy with unpacking and getting settled and just… life in general. We appreciate it so so much and I am already obsessed with this series!
I really enjoy the lane marking. I saw some suggestions for doing a time-lapse of it, but I really like the chilled out feeling of this series so far and a time-lapse/voice over might feel more forced.
One of the things that always frustrated me into quitting Cities Skylines games was traffic problems, so these videos have been phenomenally helpful for teaching me how to actually do it properly (with the line markings and nodes and such)
I love this series! I watch at night before falling asleep as it helps lots with my anxiety. Thank you James :)
I don't mind seeing line markers being done on camera. I like seeing how you process it and make the decisions. Didn't you used to have an external road editing program that lets you add parking and lane markers to existing roads? I feel like that could save time on your end if you were to use tweaked roads frequently in other areas like when you were adding parking lines to the 4+2 lane off the highway in your city.
Love the new area. Would be cool to add some food trucks near the bayside. Maybe throw in a fountain somewhere? Cable cars up the mountain sounds so cool. Love the long episodes too. Mayyybe less time on line marking roads though. ❤❤❤
Living for the long episodes!! Please keep them coming it’s amazing to unwind to in the evenings ❤️
FWIW: More than happy to watch you create the lines, I'm learning all the time, even after almost 1k hours into the game. You need to share your modlist though!
I love watching you do the road markings!!!
Think we all felt that moment you upgraded the roads, and it wiped out all your tentative work. I love all the small details, myself.
I've been loving the new series, and the longer episodes are very much appreciated! I enjoying watching them in a few sittings so I can spread out the content.
I generally like the long-form style of these episodes. The lane marking stuff can get tedious, but I do like seeing snippets of it.
I learnt a neat trick with making sure your one way laneways don’t attract through traffic. Have all the East/west roads run ‘in’ to the centre, and all the north/south roads run ‘out’ to the edges. Then cars that go in have to turn 90deg to turn out and can’t go straight through no matter where they’re coming from or going to.
22:08, That made my heart hurt. Seeing those lines disappear, all that work. I'm pretty sure we all felt that lol.
I could happily watch you draw lines on roads for an hour and nothing else - please keep it in the video!
Thank you for the uploads James! I've been really sick with COVID this week and this series has been exactly what I needed to keep me entertained between naps 💕
Seriously love this series James. Please keep it coming!
I'll keep coming back for more "line jokes." That's the quality content I'm here for!
the lane marking an fiddling is actually my favorite part lol
I’m really enjoying this chill cities content, thanks James!
I don't "draw the line" at any content just keep giving us it!!
Obsessed with this series. I watched all 5 episodes in one day after work.
i love seeing you add all the lines/fiddle with the roads and stuff. i always watch your videos and it helps me make my city better. it’s also relaxing to see you customize your city and make it nice and pretty. watching you play this game has been my comfort thing to watch since i was a teenager😂
I am loving this new series.
Also, I realllllly feel like you need to watch a bit of Biffa's traffic fixes to get the best use out of your road systems and the mods you are using!
Honestly? I'm seriously just so happy you're doing City Skylines again that yes, watching you do lines on a road is fun! It's relaxing. I have anxiety really bad lately and these videos help me so much so James, THANK YOU for going back to it! I mean I love this so much that I've gone back and started rewatching the Park Life series! So chill, so much fun!
absolutely loving this series
I'm so happy Cities is back! This video helped me to adult today, I managed to stay on the treadmill even though I wanted to give up halfway through. So thanks for helping me get healthy, James!
I like the lane marking in some measure. A whole video lane marking would get tired but a bit like this I would love.
22:35 - The silence and sputtering as you realize that everything you did (and looked good!) was for nothing. far too relatable. We cry laughed together.
Keep the good content flowing, love the videos
In the UK we have things called industrial estates, which are just off smaller motorway-like roads and are a similar size to the estate you built but full of big shops, car dealerships, outlets etc! It would work well with smaller commercial zoning :)
Huge fan of seeing the line making the first time you LOVE IT, then speed through the rest ☺️
I agree that I’m happy you’re back to playing cities.
I’d like to suggest being careful with the node controller. Some cars have issue moving though intersections larger than 30-35
Honestly so here for the LINE DRAWING, it’s so so soothing.
Smooth lines, smooth vibes 💆
Watching the mods being worked out can be painful though 😅
I'm lovinggg this series❤ It's just so relaxing to put on and chill to in the evenings or just when I need to have some chill time. I love the line marking it's so nice to see the visuals of it all come together so nicely and I love you explaining all the lanes and what you're doing, I'd be completely lost looking at those roads otherwise!
I love vids like this. its chill to watch and I love how creative you can be! it also gives me an idea of how I can customise my roads when I'm playing, especially since I'm in the UK so I'm left hand drive too
Really great series, love watching it, thank you James !
love this series omg 🙌🏼
Hopefully this series will stick around for a while. Im really enjoying this a lot!
This is a chilled series I love it
These videos are incredible. I looked up city skylines and found your account and will never regret it
this series is great to fall asleep to and i mean this in the best way possible, thank you james
Bowser Bay sounds wonderful☺ And I enjoyed your detailing parts. I wouldn't say I'd watch 1,5 hours of road management, but this episode had a nice mix of everything. It's impressive to see this city grow and it all makes sense. I'm not sure the low residential will stay happy next to high commercial in your latest district, but I'm happy to find out next time!!
Love all the line marking. Very good stuff.
i love watching every little. it if this series, the line marking and everything. i prefer NO cuts if possible
I personally enjoy seeing you do the line markings
I like it when you spend some time on road management and lines and similar - much more than parks and deco stuff and trees. Keep up the nice work!
Loved the episode! I think as you expand, make another highway, or expansion of the current one, and when you get to the airport, you can build a toll road! That'll generate some hefty revenue!
The waterfront area reminds me of Queenstown's lakefront, along with parts of Tauranga and Auckland (all in NZ), as well as St Kilda in Melbourne. If you ever need ideas for the beaches in this series/city, it might be worth having a look.
Yay! Loving this videos James.
I think the line drawing is a bit boring, but it looks cool. I think you should do it a bit, but not incredibly detailed
That pathway taking a deep dive made my day
Very happy this series is back in my life. I don’t think you should worry yourself too much with planning out where railways should go or making room for future traffic. Many real cities don’t grow with that level of foresight and the result would be that you come up with more natural and improvised city design. It’s a much easier and much less stressful way to make a city seem more grounded.
As for the Lane marking stuff, I personally don’t find it that interesting? It’s getting bogged down in details that ultimately don’t matter too much and could sacrifice being cut. Keep it in though if you enjoy it!
Finally, now you’re starting out High Density zoning, you should check out an excellent video that Overcharged Egg put out last week about making early high density looking good. I’ve found it really helped my cities! ☺️
Can’t wait for more
