I’ve discovered that bus lane roads are useful in industry as well. Deliveries and turns are allowed into/out of the red lane one node before/after their stop/turn leaving the middle lanes for through traffic and the sides for stopping.
Sorry for the slow reply. I took some time away from RUclips, but I'm back! I'm glad you found the tips useful. I'm planning some tutorial videos, so, hopefully, there will be more useful tips for you soon.
@@dedubsplays...8284 no worries I'm kind of doing similar was lacking my creative juices for my current city build. Took a break from cs and been building an ancient city on a different game. Hope you had fun while you were away but I look forward to seeing more cs videos I'm actually pretty ecstatic for the cs2 release!!!
Excellent tips! Will be sure to use some of these when the PS5 version releases this week. Hope to see some more of your videos return, with the console versions new lease of life :)
I have, indeed returned. Life got a bit complicated and I had to focus on other things for a while, but I'm back. Planning some tutorial videos, so there will be more content for you soon!

It will. You can use the trick for perfect 45 degree angles and place short pieces of road to give you marker guide lines before you draw the roundabout and then you can place the extra nodes in the exact position for 45° angles.
That's a tough question. If I were to list a top 3, I'd probably go with plazas and promenades, industries, and green cities, but there are so many good ones and a lot of it comes down to personal preference.
Is there a way to fix trafic on consoles? For small cities it's OK but if I grow a city, the cars will despawn while driving and won't reach the destination so no more goods delivered and no more workers available (trafic is around 85% so it's pretty ok) please help! 😣
There are ways to fix traffic on console, but it's hard to say what the best fix for you would be without seeing your city. The most common problem I see is a lack of alternative routes. If a lot of traffic wants to go between point a and point b, but there are only 1 or 2 possible routes, then all of that traffic is forced into the same place. Providing more routing options will often help spread that traffic out and help free up any choke points. Another common problem is poor road hierarchy. I won't try to explain road hierarchy here, but if it's something you are not familiar with, I reccomend looking into it, as it can really help. Finally, don't underestimate the power of getting the traffic off the roads. Provide plenty of alternatives to driving. Cims will walk, cycle, or take mass transit if the options are available and accessible to them and every journey not driven will help your traffic. Sorry I can't be more specific for you, but hopefully this helps.
@@dedubsplays...8284 Thanks for the really helpful reply! My city is decided into 5/6 small "towns" with highway between them. Inside the towns the traffic is ok, on the highway its fine... But I see cars disappear if I follow them. The comercial sector has no freight and industry has too much. I tried trains and planes but it only helps a bit and I can't have two of them in the same area, they only use one. Thanks for the help! And keep posting 😉
The 8th along, the 'overhead road'. This is good, I just made one around 30 steps in length, for the industry. HOWEVER, there is no way I can currently see whereby if the traffic wanted to get on or off early then they cannot do so. Mmm, just thought whilst writing... maybe if I try changing the look of the bridge by upgrading it. Anyhow, its a good bridge but clearly by isolated situations, which also tampers with overhead power lines crossing over and 'building' to the edge of the road. Just a few observations so far. PS: AM ON THE PS5.
Roundabout "bracing" is as far as i can tell a really old and widespread trick. I ve been doing it for years but i dont think i was first. Its one of those tricks that is rather intuitive and plenty have come up with it independently of each other. EDIT: Oh and btw, you might find this trick intersting if you havent seen it already. Its actually using what happens when you dont brace the roundabout properly to create smoother network junctions ;) ruclips.net/video/gdNgreVvsAU/видео.html
@@Maestro1880 it will. You can clean it up with the floating garbage collectors from green cities, but again, that requires the DLC. Unfortunately, options are limited without some DLC 😕
@@Maestro1880 No problem. You'll also get less polluted water if you use the eco water outlet, which will make it easier to clean with the floating garbage collectors.
Sorry for the slow reply. I took some time away from RUclips, but I'm back! Paths are a good alternative. I'll use both, depending on what fits best with the aesthetic I'm going for. Hope you are enjoying the series.
Sorry for the slow reply, I took some time away from RUclips but I'm back, and I have some vanilla tutorial videos planned. Glad you found the tips useful!
@@dedubsplays...8284 Thnx dude! Glad to hear you’re back! Yeah i need some more vanilla things. People i have been watching lately claims to have “vanilla things” in their video’s and in the end they only do one deep dive in one thing and then after that it is like 3% per topic that is vanilla and the rest is mods 🙄 I am on console and i don’t have mods so these tips are very useful. Thnx again! 👊🏽
@dedubs... I've just been messing about with creating a small pond as a test, and might need you to test a bit more but what I found is that if you first line your hole with the big boulders, ensuring all overlapped, then use a water outlet to fill it and then turn it off, it appears in my tests to retain the water, I'll let you know how long it lasts... Just built in 2040 so I'll keep an eye to see if it works 💦
I knew all of them except the airport streets trick, but it shows me again that I should also remember that while playing. 😁😁 But great video and great explanation!
Well I'm glad there was at least 1 new idea in there for you lol. Thanks. This was something new for me so I was a little nervous about it, but it seems to have been well received. 😅

Some very nifty tricks there. I particularly like the one with the cargo terminal and the airport cargo roads. Very useful!
Thanks. I'm glad there was something you could use in there.
Some neat tricks here!! I've been playing Vanilla on PC for a few years and still learnt some tips... I like the stacked road stick the most i think!!
Yeah, that was a cool one. ZosDos has some really neat tricks on his channel.
What is Vanilla city?
@@TaraH195 no mods used to build city
@@InsuRUclips aaah thank you for the information! I play on it always
Good video. A few things there I didn’t think about before, I’ll definitely be doing in the future.
Thanks YWBO. I'm glad there were some useful things in there for you.
Lovely tricks! My favourite is how to stack roads. Some areas look amazing with roads like that
Thanks. This method ZosDos came up with looks great with the supports from the top road sitting so nicely next to the lower road.
This is going to come in so handy with me having to play vanilla for a certain project. Thank you!
Thanks Joy. I'm glad you are able to use some of the tricks in here.
Awesome tips it's amazing how people find ways to cope with the game shortcomings so nice to learn and apply these tricks for a better build

Is it much difference with the ps4 version?
@@kaaiman1.0The “Remastered” version has a few additional features, e.g.: 25 tile cities and unlock all unique buildings from the beginning.
The train station traffic negator trick is awesome,

Excellent tips and tricks video, DeDubs!!! I learned a lot and I play on pc. I'm always happy to learn something new!!! Great job!!!❤❤❤
Thanks Jen. I'm really glad I managed to get things in there that the PC players can use too.
Lake management...F-ing BRILLIANT!
Xucaboa is an absolute genius for coming up with that one! Really love that trick.
I don’t think the stacked roads works anymore 😢
Just tried it its not working anymore for me
Your voice gives a lot of peace 🙌
Excellent video! Many great tips and tricks! Thank you!
Great collection of tips! Should be very helpful
I did the elevated bridge trick too
I'm glad you're finding these tricks useful 👍
Awesome video! Keep it up!
the 8 node roundabout will also let you conect roads neatly at 45 degrees :)
It will. You can use the trick for perfect 45 degree angles and place short pieces of road to give you marker guide lines before you draw the roundabout and then you can place the extra nodes in the exact position for 45° angles.
Awesome video...I am gonna try and run some of my roads stacked like in this video,might help with traffic issues
0:11 where does the castle come from. Is it a monument
It is. It's unlocked for getting a park to level 5 with the Parklife DLC. The trick will work with any water based asset though.
Actually, I think it's a unique building. Sorry lol.
Thanks what would be the best DLCs to get for the Remastered version
That's a tough question. If I were to list a top 3, I'd probably go with plazas and promenades, industries, and green cities, but there are so many good ones and a lot of it comes down to personal preference.
A long time ago ImperialJedi taught me my favorite trick park assets snap to tram tracks if you run them through your park. They also act as paths.
Great tip! Thanks.
So does roads.
Good stuff!
Thanks ☺️
very useful tricks!!! thanks
I don't think the car parks at 11:34 exist anymore/at all on Xbox. There are ploppable ones.
Yeah, that video is a little out of date now lol.
I dont know if its for everyone but i cant have more than 20 save files is there any way to get more

Yeah, I think that's more of an aesthetic than something that's practical. I hope you can make it work for your city, regardless.

Where did you get the fresh water asset from?
It's in the natural disasters DLC. You can also use one of the sewage outlets if you don't have natural disasters.
@@dedubsplays...8284 sawage outlet? This will give you a brown lake? 🤣🤔
@@Maestro1880 it will. You can clean it up with the floating garbage collectors from green cities, but again, that requires the DLC. Unfortunately, options are limited without some DLC 😕

The roads stack glitch doesn't work after the update, lol🙃
Putting footpaths next to roads you don’t want grids in is one I discovered very helpful on vanilla
Edit: just seen it in the vid lol
Yeh, I always use fencing to do this, especially on building housing estates
Sorry for the slow reply. I took some time away from RUclips, but I'm back! Paths are a good alternative. I'll use both, depending on what fits best with the aesthetic I'm going for. Hope you are enjoying the series.
With the new road option you can deactivate grids.
Still daft how we have to put up without parking lot roads on console, and use a workaround with Edison hyper chargers
Sorry for the slow reply. I took some time away from RUclips, but I'm back! I really hope they address that in CS:2 it's such a pain lol.
I'm pretty sure for the lakes you can also use and Eco Water Treatment Plant. I think it purifies it 100%
Good point. There's more than one way to fill a lake 😆
Only 100 if you’ve got the algae policy enabled. Otherwise there is still some pollution
Might need the environmental studies uni building too
Thanks there are ideas I like to try...if I can remember them...LOL
You can always watch again lol. I'll try and figure out how to add chapters so you can find the bit's you're after more easily.
I figured out how to add chapters to the video so you should be able to easily find the right part if you need to see it again. Hope that helps 😄
