I'm amazed by all the feedback, and I appreciate your support! Some of you have pointed out that the settings I provided didn't achieve the results in the video, That's because of the SEASONS. I found that each season affects the LUTs, so please try to adjust it a bit differently depending on the season.
holy moly sully! It was your detailing videos that restored my faith in Skylines 2! I had already lost hope until the detailing patch was released, and I saw all the surfaces you introduced! Up to now, your sand beach surface is the one I use the most in my gameplay! Btw, r u doing graffiti as well?
@@doubledonkey yeah really enjoy your content so far, keep it up! ah thanks, I have 1 more graffiti pack out next week, but likely it for graffiti stuff for a while.
@@adamwoods4951 OMG its frustrating that after this look people are still experiencing issues. I have purposely held back for a long time to play this game in its prime. Looks like we aren't nowhere near there yet.
Thanks for this guide! I have a strange request. Can you put out a short video showing how you lay down trees for a natural appearance? Your tree/bush selection and patterning is the most true to life that I've seen. I want to place trees like you.
I'll tell you honestly, first of all, this mod doesn't work for me, nothing happens when I change the parameters, but that's not what I wanted to say :) This game should look so good right away, and people aren't looking for ways to realistically illuminate the game because it looks depressing and lifeless, and it's not about strong colors, but about all the lighting, which is too dark and unsuitable for the game.
@@Reaper19799 There is a small “square frame" on the left of each parameter, you need to "check" the one you wanna make work, otherwise nothing will happen.
sry was my bad, longitude and latitude are not relevant in this case, so I removed them from the list. but if u do need to adjust those u could open the option menu, find LUMINA, then check the TOGGLE IMGUR BUTTON VISIBILITY, then u could find a button in game, left upper conner.
Hey! Ant tips for my city idea here? (Reply) I want to make a semi-urbanist American city based in California. Any tips on what map I should use, what water settings, etc? It seems like all the mountainous coast maps are poorly done... any suggestions?
@@doubledonkey I am making my own map using a heightmap of Bellingham, Washington. Go to like google street view or something and check the town out... its a great heightmap
i followed these settings exactly and my game looks nothing like yours in the video, its all washed out and dull. I think its because my monitor is HDR, but idk if this guide is outdated.
i broke my city... installed 3 of these modes, then saved city and after that i cannot load map (it crashes immediately). i tried to enable/disable/remove these mods and nothing helps :(
Ok, foarte frumos, dar unde gasim sa descarcam pachetele astea de culori...??? Sunt gratuite ? Am incercat sa schimb din setarile video ale jocului luminile, dar nu arata ca la tine... cred ca trebuie sa existe ceva pachete de culori sa le cumparam. Este adevarat ?
Maybe because developers are Sweden and they think everything should look gray and dull like in there lol.. From the first trailer I thought to myself why is everything so gray and dull it's depressing. Thanks for the tips.
Yeap. It takes a while. You can copy some settings to other buildings etc, so ifyou want some roofs here and there you can do that, but afaik you need to click every building you want to paint manually. Result is awesome. Just take it slow expanding and detail a little more :)
@@doubledonkey Yes, I activated this "square frame" in the options, then it appears in the top left corner. There you can access the parameters or sliders. I had already found it. But as soon as I move the slider, no matter which one, unfortunately nothing changes.
It still amazes how bad default CS2 graphics is. And this was signed off by so-called professionals. But I'm glad we can finally adjust these values. Thanks for the guide!
you got a subscriber, really fantastic conternt, very good. congrats for the video. If you allow me I can made a similar translated to portuguese in my channel.
There are a lot of things lacking in the graphics and animations. For instance, the weather is horrible. Cities 1 had more realistic looking rain as opposed to this cartoony looking rain we have in this game
Not sure which part went wrong, u could try restarting the game a few times or maybe u use other mods like Sun Glasses or Preserve Photo Mode? If so u might need to adjust settings differently .
Disagree in almost every single point you try to make! 😂 German cars are ugly, your brightness doesn't look realistic. Nor do your recolored buildings and above all not a tiny bit your Sim-City-like clean streets! 😂
Thats because you dont get the points at all. 1,vanilla car colors sucks, german one better than vanilla one. 2, vanilla brightness sucks, and you can always adjust your own brightness, nobody force you to follow my adjustment. 3, vanilla buildings' colors suck, you can make your own. 4, you can use all those dirty decals on every single roads you have to make your "not sim city like clean road", but it makes no sense, and still, its not realistic, in fact, its not possible to make it 100% realistic at all, for all the game in the market.
@@minotaursgamezone If you think these graphics look any good you've never seen good graphics before then in a city planner. This looks considerably worse than a modded CS1. That's a problem

just looks so much better! thank you for this easy and quick guide and the settings!
I subbed! You’ve got the content plus great patter!
Fantastic, entertaining commentary. I am waiting for my computer upgrade in October to get this game finally. I can't wait what else is in store!

Thank you, three mods which without were stopping me liking the game. Much appreciated for this 👍
2:49 I wouldn’t have even guessed this was in the game if you didn’t say so
I love these guides of yours. Simple and straightforward 👍
Ok theres some legit really useful tips i had no idea about in here! Thanks for making this video!
0:00 HEEEEEEEEEEEE! Love your energy man !
this helped me so much to make my game more realistic, thnak u so much :D
Great ! Nice that you had idea for this
Thank you for featuring Lumina! Funny commentary lol 😂
The LUMINA creator! Ha ~ just saw the update and trying to figure out how to change the LUT.....
@@doubledonkeyI uploaded a video explaining it quickly
I honestly thought this vid was going to be shit, but holy fuck you made my day and won 1 sub in the process ! I loved it, thank you :>
Thank ~you~ my friend ~
finally i've been waiting for this one.
Great Video man.
The roads are still too clean
Sully's decal pack mods can help. There are stains, cracks, damage, tyre marks and more. You can really put character into the roads with them.
The textures for every surface is too clean.
@@ablaus_combat_cornerDecal packs can't solve the issue completely since they don't work on any elevated structures.
Dude, this is great. Subbed
amazing ! thank you very much, it changes everything !! :)
wow man thanks! new lighting is actually what stop me playing cs2
same ~ until the mod out
Welp time to sign back into PDX mods and do some more tweaking 😅. Great video and great commentary!
thx man~
Thought I clicked a cs1 video. So good
This is probably the best compliment...😂
decent, gl with your channel
This is great, water mod and recolor doing good job
Good video... Nice broo 🔥🔥🔥
Bro's got the will of D in his name just subbed
Donkey D, could you record a video or write somewhere what your graphic settings are while playing?
sure ~
Ty so much for this!! Love ur vids
Can you show to to create realistic road layout and planning?
let me think about how to do it ~
Nice, love it
amazing work. Thnks
Nice video you are a hero.
Where do I go where do I find the longitude latitude settings
sry was my bad, longitude and latitude are not relevant in this case, so I removed them from the list. but if u do need to adjust those u could open the option menu, find LUMINA, then check the TOGGLE IMGUR BUTTON VISIBILITY, then u could find a button in game, left upper conner.

Dang this looks good
It’s amazing that they couldn’t just make a good game in the first place.
they could done better than this for sure. But unfortunately, these people didn’t even make an effort to try.
Wow, thanks ❤
I can’t make the numbers exact?
they got google earth LUTs now~ you could try those ~
Lumina crashes my game sadly. The game cant load the settings file and then crashes on loading or starting a new map
It might need to be loaded a few more times maybe ?
same here... did you find solution?
i followed these settings exactly and my game looks nothing like yours in the video, its all washed out and dull. I think its because my monitor is HDR, but idk if this guide is outdated.
"Amazing tutorial and commentary!!!"
Legit! Just subbed. What are your game graohic settings? I just bought a new rig with 4090 GTX and 64 G of RAM. My old PC could not keep up.
Man, That s a monster! tell me how’s the performance? I’m still rocking a 20 series card...
Thank you. Maybe with the I can make game finally playable without throwing up.
will follow

How can I get the stones on your coast
from FIND IT, those stones are vanilla props.
how can I disable snow?
by using LegacyFlavour you can disable seasons' effects.
Maybe because developers are Sweden and they think everything should look gray and dull like in there lol..
From the first trailer I thought to myself why is everything so gray and dull it's depressing.
Thanks for the tips.
🤣lol
Would you mind share your PC specs?
i7, 16GB ram, 2060 rtx......😂
crazy, but the recoloring takes pretty long I assume?
Yeap. It takes a while. You can copy some settings to other buildings etc, so ifyou want some roofs here and there you can do that, but afaik you need to click every building you want to paint manually. Result is awesome. Just take it slow expanding and detail a little more :)
I was sure youi want road wear for realism hehe
sorry but the Lumina mod doesn't work. Nothing changes when you move the controls. Current Lumina version: 1.5.6r4 - CS2: Version 1.1.7f1
There is a small “square frame" on the left of each parameter, you need to "check" the one you wanna make work, otherwise, nothing will happen.

Lumina just do not look anything like that for me🙃
yep, it has another interface and basically does the same thing.
Mine too. Weird
The map also look very good. Is it from the workshop?
its a vanilla map and a vanilla NA theme.
Thanxs Cuz
For some reason my game looks nothing like yours, even tho I copied all the settings. It looks kinda grey and faded :(
try to adjust a lit bit by yourself depending on your city then?
I think I fixed it. Do u use an LUT or the just the stock Lumina options?
i can't install the mod because it needs to update something is wrong with this mod
insane intro noise
Wishing everyone luck in 2025 and the following years
what map is this

Your settings in the video doesn’t give the look of the game in your video
I found that each season affects the LUTs, so please try to adjust it a bit differently depending on the season.
If I use these settinga I get a completly dark screen :(

I wonder why original graphics in cs2 are like this. Usually games try to look more vibrant than real life, not more dull and depressing.
There are a lot of things lacking in the graphics and animations. For instance, the weather is horrible. Cities 1 had more realistic looking rain as opposed to this cartoony looking rain we have in this game
To bad its not looking like yours, even with the same setting :(
Not sure which part went wrong, u could try restarting the game a few times or maybe u use other mods like Sun Glasses or Preserve Photo Mode? If so u might need to adjust settings differently .

Let's make Donkey D great again.
Too bright and unrealsitic.
