Of all the builders I watch, you're the one who makes me want to build far more SLOWLY and more detailed, instead of just 'must make it to 100,000 raaaaar'. I'm enjoying playing a different way!
One of my favourite things about watching Cities Skyline creators such as yourself is seeing how different countries go about city design. Here in Australia for example, the pavement sticking out into the road to form a crossing is fairly common, especially in regional towns. As is reverse parking (or rear to curb as it’s often called). I grew up in a regional Australian town that had no traffic lights…. HOWEVER they recently installed their first one! It was such a big deal, that they mayor even had a special “opening ceremony” with a street parade celebrating the towns first traffic light!
1. Love the editing in this ep! 2. Fun tip for find it, you can actually filter by building height to get all buildings of similar sizes which makes mood boarding really easy. I think it's the plus next to the building size filters. Hope you find that useful!
You should use invisible walkways between buildings. There are a few on the workshop. The default paths have ridges which you wouldn't have between buildings. Then just paint over them with the surface painter. Liking the aesthetic of this build
Your city reminds me of my childhood home of Dover, NH, where we have 5 dunkin donuts with a population of ~30,000...and this is the 4th most populous city in NH :) Our main street also had angled parking as well! I also want to say that I am so happy to have found another brick enthusiast! Dover is filled with brick buildings from the old textile mills to the restaurants to the public schools.
My town has a state highway come into it, which gets dispersed by a scuffed roundabout (that I think was one of the first ones built in Wisconsin) and comes straight into a small one block lake front downtown. On the other end of the city it connects up with the interstate to go east to the major city 45 minutes out, or west where most kids go to college about an hour or so out. Right near where the interstate is there is a lot of empty farmland waiting for suburban commercial and residential development. I’m excited to see how it develops in the future
I live right across the lake from you in Michigan. It's ridiculous how many people are against roundabouts. One older lady on Facebook even said she doesn't want them because they are European! I can't believe it! I guess the U.S has to come up with squares that around round so that she accepts it haha.
There are a lot of parking spaces in US cities because it's a legal requirement, which induces the need for cars because everything is miles away from each other across vast parking lots.
Oh, sure. Bikes just share the road with cars in areas like this. There generally aren’t bike lanes. All modes just follow the laws. Keep in mind though, its generally cyclists who care to do so. As opposed to people using bikes for any sort of practicality.
@@YUMBL it's a catch-22. If you create bicycle infrastructure, the cyclists and day-to-day bike users will come. But you need a whole lot of bike enthousiasts to get the city to create bicycle infrastructure in the first place.
Is incredible how a couple of mods can change completely the way to play. Having full control over how the city is going to looks on the ground level is great.
I'm loving the level of detail! So inspiring! I'm used to watching people play in more of a city building mode rather than a creative and sandbox mode. Seriously hope you have huge success with this series. My mom grew up in upstate NY and my grandparents are from small town Maine so this series is so fantastic to watch.
This made me feel so at home! That lighting in the beginning has me ready for Fall. I love how you include all of the decisions and views of each asset you place. Really nice to follow. It's also exciting to know that things may redevelop and progress as the city builds. Look forward to each episode!
Minus the 60 degree parking (ours is usually parallel), this main street looks a lot like many main streets down here in the south. Lots of wall to wall, 2 to 4 story brick storefronts that have been retrofitted with lofts above the ground floor. Our main street houses are usually a bit more plantation-y instead of colonial-y, for obvious reasons. Big white pillars in the front with white wood siding, less red brick. Small town America has a really nice aesthetic, and it seems like there's somewhat of a main street revival happening nowadays, with restorations and additions happening in many places.
I'm from a small town that went overkill with stoplights in like the 70s/ 80s and so getting down our 3 main streets is ridiculous. No roundabouts though, I've never even seen a roundabout in Oklahoma and the 1st one I ever encountered was in Conway, Arkansas where they are everywhere! Current population is about 16,000 but that's because it boomed in the 90s and 2000s due to a big company/Indian nation/local college.
Was born and raised in an urban setting...smallest town I've ever lived in was around 60K. Currently live in Houston. I've thought about building a city based on Houston, or maybe its wild expressway system. I pretty much give up before getting started. I've tried to model the city I grew up in, but it just doesn't seem to come together with the vanilla assets in the game. I'm a terrible artist, so doing everything by hand isn't going to have the awesome results you're seeing here in Newmarket. Love your channel and am enjoying the chillax approach to building. Not going to lie, though, I get a chuckle every time you pan to the church and the "No-tell-motel". I guess the party animals can quickly absolve themselves after a wild Saturday night. :-) Beautiful start to your little town. Look forward to seeing it develop.
This has inspired me to make a city based on the American Southwest (which is kind of weird for me as a Seattlite). It'll be my first city manually placing most (if not all) buildings. Really enjoying this series as a relaxing backdrop while fighting with some work projects.
Tennessee has a lot of those one light towns that are basically a crossroads with a flashing yellow at the intersection. It takes a bigger small town to get the diagonal street parking around here. A lot of towns in this area date back to the early 1800's, between 1820-1830, and may have spawned around older colonial era homes or "stations". A lot of New England thus feels real familiar, just with different climate. Snow is a rare thing here, and we're not equipped to handle it, so a flurry closes everything. I really love the feel of this build. That "courthouse" with the clocktower, reminds me so much of Nashville's Union Station, now converted into a hotel.
Another fine video! I laughed when you said you come from a small town without a stop light! Where I'm from in the mid-west there's only one stoplight in the biggest of the thirteen towns of my community! Again keep up with the great work!!
I don't know whether it still goes on but I remember my grandparents both were members of an Odd Fellows lodge back in the day. It was a way for them both to be social and do charity work, from what I remember. This is in Norway.
Your one of the best City Skylines youtubers out there! Im serious! All the other ones are way too fast, confusing, or way too hard to follow! Sometimes theres no commentary on other peoples ones. This series is unique. Never make it end!
That moment at 18:19 when you don't deselect the buildings and slide them across the street, promptly forgetting all the work you did. Resulting, arguably, in a better layout.
My childhood hometown of Smedjebacken, Sweden, somewhat famously does not have a single traffic light in its entire municipality, and Swedish municipalities are quite a bit bigger than (most) American ones, more similar to your counties. We do have two roundabouts though, but that's Europe for ya.
Absolutely love it. Although my style of playing is a bit more 'arcady' for the moment (I'm a relatively new player), I'm gradually improving my detailing and sense of realism, and seeing you play and explaining as you go has helped me a lot. Keep it going!
I’m glad you like it! Not everyone appreciates a slower paced build, and some areas of the map will come together quicker, but I love focusing on a scene and making it nice :)
I come from a 1 traffic light town. In fact not far from the New England region in southern PA. We have many "colonial" type towns where i'm from just due to the Gettysburg influence of the area. My town was founded in the late 1700's.
Amazingly, you are one of the few C:S UA-camrs that use the Precision Engineering mod. I can't play without it. Probably why I can't play pure vanilla anymore.
Odd Fellows exist in Europe too, but they are heavily associated with Freemasonry here, at least that's the only context within which I've ever heard of them.
@@YUMBL I just read up on them. Apparently it's been a "tradition" to be both a Mason and a Fellow ever since King George IV became both in 1780. Also they were founded in England in the 18th century, so apparently European in origin.
no stop signs only yields/give ways, no traffic lights where i grew up, closest stop light about 8 miles away to the east the closest to the west was about 25 miles away, north no idea where the closest would be but at least 25 miles, south about 20 miles also to the closest. haha
This place is reminding me of one of those YA mystery/thriller/horror series, a la Stranger Things. Not quite a city and not quite a town but somewhere in between. A very liminal place, on the road to somewhere else, but not in a creepy way.
New England small town life is depicted in a book I came across in my childhood in my father’s library. It is Point of no Return by J P Marquand. The book is about a small town called Clyde. Marquand was brought up in Massachusetts in Newport If that is a place and I remember correctly. I wonder if you came across it, Marquand has been largely forgotten Today. Anyway it is wonderful read!
Brick was heavily used due to its low flammability. Fire departments at the time were basically bucket brigades and large-city wide fires were common during the 18th century. Also, there is some bias towards brick, since anything that wasn't built with it likely either burned or rotted away without significant care.
Seeing isolated little american towns like this is so weird to me, here in England you can hardly tell where one town ends and another begins, there are buildings almost EVERYWHERE! On the route between my hometown and the nearest city there are houses, schools, shops and parks literally the whole way. Anywhere there isn't civilisation there are farms and fields
There are so many places in rural America where you can drive for an hour or more and not hit a town. There's a spot in South Dakota where there are warnings at the gas stations that let you know that this is the last station for quite a while and you better fill up. Lots of the space is taken up with farmland, but there's also still a lot of wild land that is relatively untouched by humans.
I don't even bother with AIDA64 or prime95 for cpu stability testing, just find an intersection with filled parking lots around it, grab it with move it and jiggle it about for a few seconds, if that doesn't crash the pc i promise you nothing will. Amazing detailing BTW, most wouldn't even think it's a game if you showed a screenshot of main street, some old timer would probably say " yeah been through there once"
oh god the fact that you had to explain what new england is hurts my heart a little bit! i'm not from new england myself, but my mom's entire side of the family is so it's still a big part of my life and i hold it very dearly. of course i understand that there are bound to be people who are unfamiliar with it because it's just never been a relevant part of their lives, but it still stings 😥
It’s nice that you’re plopping building instead of zoning. I’ve played the game manny times with zoning and it gets boring. Grows too fast. And it takes no time to slow my system that way. It takes long to develop a city when plopping but much more satisfying to curate the different neighborhoods. Im excited to see this town develop. And to pick up some tips on detailing. The town hall (?) in the intro looked fantastic.
It’s a courthouse, but a lot of small places use one building as a town hall and courthouse. I agree with plopping. Zoning may happen a bit, but I don’t want to get careless :)
I'm from small town WNY and I'm already seeing so many similarities between this city and my small town (my town has more farms though lol). Except we have Tim Hortons. But you have to drive 10-15 minutes for that because our town is too small for that. We have 2 Dollar Generals though 😂
G'Day Yumbl, We have a New England region here in Australia too, it's in the north central part of New South Wales. The region appears to be very similar to yours in the States with green pastures and very defined seasons, especially during Autumn.
Very interesting! It makes sense that settlers would want a climate similar to their previous home. I wonder if its at a similar (though opposite) latitude!
I think Walgreens should be on the edge of the old town. Then it doesn't look like they tore down someone's business for this big conglomerate right in the middle of town. I also like the Aldi's in the back of mainstreet. There is a small town near me, where there is a strip joint across the street from a church and catholic school. By the way, there it's no stop lights in the town.
i really like the old grundgy roads, but i HATE those sidewalks that come with them lol... it does all come together with the old timey look of the buildings though! theres a few towns over here in ohio that have that same look to them, usually with a river or rail road going through them.
Every government building - schools, police and fire departments, schools, etc - all fly the United States and State flags. One more thing to add to your detailing.
I know this series is a year old so I haven’t seen yet where you are on it current day but if you’re old enough to remember the TV series Newhart, you could place a Stratford Inn.
I think I saw a mod on workshop called curb height editor/tool or something like that. That may remedy your parking lot issues with the curbs being in the way.
I play game most of the time on pause or even with removing people and cars for performance boost so when i start it for cinematic part it gets exciting! City looks amazing 👏 😍 🙌 💚💚💚
No 🚦 in my town. Enjoying this build very much. Love all the parking and crosswalk detailing. Really brings Main Street to life. Will you be adding an outdoor farmers market?
Again such a chill vibe to these videos. Absolutely love it. Mind if I ask where you get the low-fi playlist from? Twitch have a habit of muting out my vods if I use low-fi but if I get lucky some tracks are royalty-free. Is this through a service? Thanks!
I know this city is long finished, but I've been wondering if you add a strip mall or two later on to another part of the city. Something that seems common, at least in the North East, are strip malls. I've seen them all over NY, NJ, NH, PA ext.
I always felt like New York and New Jersey should also count as both are named after places in England. I never understood why they wouldn't count as New England States.
I always enjoy Cities Skylines video@@YUMBL :D No matter if the reator is you, Biffa, Cityplanner, Czardus even RT gamer and Spiffing Britts I enjoy, those are the ones I can remember I usually watch for inspiration and to live through when my own comp slowly gives up on my own cities, when I hit the 100k+ pop :D
Is there trick to allow services to the university, although only connected by pathways? If not, you could try to keep the great looks by adding the road at the back side and move the spawn points for the building
The front of the asset is touching the road, so it will get services. I could move the spawn to the side and add a little access road if we need though.
What's the name of the song that starts at 16:50? Great video, loving this highly detailed build, makes me want to spend more time enhancing my cities instead of just wanting them to grow.
Amazing job as always Mr. tv. Question: Does anyone else sing the N64 Buck Bumble commercial to themselves when they get a YumbleTV notification? ... ... ... Just me, huh.
Do you think you may eventually do a bus loop in the town? At least where I’m from most towns over about 5,000 people have a bus loop of sorts. But then again this is also a small American town.
There will at least be a functioning school bus. Even if its not used properly (non students using the loop) I like the energy and movement it would bring.
One question here, if you hand place all buildings, would that influence the game? I mean, the city would need different buildings to adapt to the new economies or situations? how does your game work? having abandoned buildings?
I dont live in NH currently, but I’ve been looking at Dover NH and New London NH a lot. I ran from the campus police at Plymouth once. I didnt go there, but I had a back pack full of beer 🤣
Of all the builders I watch, you're the one who makes me want to build far more SLOWLY and more detailed, instead of just 'must make it to 100,000 raaaaar'. I'm enjoying playing a different way!
I’m glad you like it! I dont want to admit how many giant grids I’ve connected to a highway exit and zoned in completely. It gets boring after a while

so awesome to see someone going after the New England esthetic. I'm from Pelham NH but no longer live there. Nothing else like NH
I’m from Lancaster, also moved away. It’s a special place :)
This is great stuff right here bro. CityPlanner would be proud. “I think you're in a good spot.”
Thank you :)
I work for the state and our courthouse is in a plaza with a CVS, two cafe’s and a 7-11 lol.
Classy and convenient ;)
There are a lot of parking spaces in US cities because it's a legal requirement, which induces the need for cars because everything is miles away from each other across vast parking lots.
I feel that 60 degree street parking in a financial ares is not so egregious though.
@@YUMBL I mean, it could have been a bike lane. :D
Oh, sure. Bikes just share the road with cars in areas like this. There generally aren’t bike lanes. All modes just follow the laws. Keep in mind though, its generally cyclists who care to do so. As opposed to people using bikes for any sort of practicality.

We have that a lot in NH. People come from out of state to have a cycling vacation thinking that our small roads dont have laws.
You know you have put your audience into the right mood when no comment is asking for an airport.
The way life should be
Is incredible how a couple of mods can change completely the way to play. Having full control over how the city is going to looks on the ground level is great.
Perfect compliment to my afternoon work hours before my weekend holiday with my family. I'm saying this during the intro! :D

i enjoy the process so much thank you for truly taking your time, i appreciate playing cities vicariously through you!
Thank you for watching, i’m glad you like it :)
Nice video! I really enjoy seeing how you use mods, specially node controller and intersection marking tool, game changers
A video every 3 days is what we need, keep it up 👍👍
I’ll do my best ;)

Precision engineering is a necessity :)
Odd Fellows exist in Europe too, but they are heavily associated with Freemasonry here, at least that's the only context within which I've ever heard of them.
We have a Masonic temple in my hometown. Never heard the associated with Oddfelows though. Probably just because they’re similar organizations.

Also they were founded in England in the 18th century, so apparently European in origin.
They are English yes. I didnt see a link between them though. I think they’re similar but different in ways
There is nice mod called : No Questions Asked. Very relieving.
Still have my fingers crossed in hopes you will find time to share that beautiful theme mix.
Trucks too big to fit in parking spaces? Yep, definitely New England!
“Fahmahs” (farmers)
no stop signs only yields/give ways, no traffic lights where i grew up, closest stop light about 8 miles away to the east the closest to the west was about 25 miles away, north no idea where the closest would be but at least 25 miles, south about 20 miles also to the closest. haha

Totally! Reset anything that isnt working right with move it!
Mmmm, Dunkin Donuts.I do miss living back east.
The town I grew up in had two stop lights, and they got rid of them when I moved out because the population didn't need the lights.
Good call!
There is a parking lot snap tool in the workshop. It will snap the parking spaces perfectly (once you layout the first one). it works beautifully.
Thats for parking lot roads. Just my main street which is already complete.
@@YUMBL Ah, OK. I have it subscribed and it comes in very handy. Now I can create parking lots in seconds instead of, well, more than that. :P
I don't even bother with AIDA64 or prime95 for cpu stability testing, just find an intersection with filled parking lots around it, grab it with move it and jiggle it about for a few seconds, if that doesn't crash the pc i promise you nothing will.

Thank you! You’re totally right about realistic parking 😂
Broken up parking looks good! I agree too !!💚💚💚💚
As long as the pavement look doesn’t get too old, i think this is better than huge asphalt lots 100%
oh god the fact that you had to explain what new england is hurts my heart a little bit! i'm not from new england myself, but my mom's entire side of the family is so it's still a big part of my life and i hold it very dearly. of course i understand that there are bound to be people who are unfamiliar with it because it's just never been a relevant part of their lives, but it still stings 😥
Been waiting for this!
It’s nice that you’re plopping building instead of zoning. I’ve played the game manny times with zoning and it gets boring. Grows too fast. And it takes no time to slow my system that way. It takes long to develop a city when plopping but much more satisfying to curate the different neighborhoods. Im excited to see this town develop. And to pick up some tips on detailing. The town hall (?) in the intro looked fantastic.
It’s a courthouse, but a lot of small places use one building as a town hall and courthouse. I agree with plopping. Zoning may happen a bit, but I don’t want to get careless :)
I'm from small town WNY and I'm already seeing so many similarities between this city and my small town (my town has more farms though lol). Except we have Tim Hortons. But you have to drive 10-15 minutes for that because our town is too small for that. We have 2 Dollar Generals though 😂
We had 2 traffic lights, but one was only for the elementary school and never worked 😂
You get it!
I live in a small central Wisconsin Paper mill town. we have 2 stoplights.
G'Day Yumbl, We have a New England region here in Australia too, it's in the north central part of New South Wales. The region appears to be very similar to yours in the States with green pastures and very defined seasons, especially during Autumn.
Very interesting! It makes sense that settlers would want a climate similar to their previous home. I wonder if its at a similar (though opposite) latitude!
I think Walgreens should be on the edge of the old town. Then it doesn't look like they tore down someone's business for this big conglomerate right in the middle of town.
I also like the Aldi's in the back of mainstreet.
There is a small town near me, where there is a strip joint across the street from a church and catholic school. By the way, there it's no stop lights in the town.
It was a big deal when my town established its first traffic light. It's weird how that is a thing in small town America.
Thats how you measure how small your town is ;)
i really like the old grundgy roads, but i HATE those sidewalks that come with them lol... it does all come together with the old timey look of the buildings though! theres a few towns over here in ohio that have that same look to them, usually with a river or rail road going through them.
The sidewalks are part of the map theme. I like em :)
I love your town
Every government building - schools, police and fire departments, schools, etc - all fly the United States and State flags. One more thing to add to your detailing.
Good call!
I know this series is a year old so I haven’t seen yet where you are on it current day but if you’re old enough to remember the TV series Newhart, you could place a Stratford Inn.
I think I saw a mod on workshop called curb height editor/tool or something like that. That may remedy your parking lot issues with the curbs being in the way.
how do you change the color of the concrete? looks nice
The mod is theme mixer
oh i love this
I play game most of the time on pause or even with removing people and cars for performance boost so when i start it for cinematic part it gets exciting! City looks amazing 👏 😍 🙌 💚💚💚
Thank you very much :)
my town has a state highway running through the middle, one traffic light. small town middle of the US. population 3k. elementary school only.
Very similar to my experience. Save for the light ;)
Yo the assets are here! Thanks
You’re welcome :)
Hey neightbourino!
I’m from New Brunswick Canada
No 🚦 in my town. Enjoying this build very much. Love all the parking and crosswalk detailing. Really brings Main Street to life. Will you be adding an outdoor farmers market?
Thats an excellent idea! It shall convene in the park with the gazebo.
Again such a chill vibe to these videos. Absolutely love it. Mind if I ask where you get the low-fi playlist from? Twitch have a habit of muting out my vods if I use low-fi but if I get lucky some tracks are royalty-free. Is this through a service? Thanks!
Chillhop has a content creator sign up. Its all free!
What are your computer specs? I usually just zone most of my city but this looks way more satisfying. Wondering if my pc can handle it
“Plopping” assets gives much better results imo. Specs are in my about page
@@YUMBL awesome, thanks for the inspiration Yumbl
@19:08 How did you do that? How did you just paint concrete over grass? What mod lets you do that?
Surface painter! Its great. There are also ploppable surfaces that are useful. “Ultimate area fillers”
@@YUMBL Got Surface painter but can't find Ultimate Area Fillers.
I know this city is long finished, but I've been wondering if you add a strip mall or two later on to another part of the city. Something that seems common, at least in the North East, are strip malls. I've seen them all over NY, NJ, NH, PA ext.
Reminds me of colorado with the building layout
Odd Fellow also exists outside the US.
What theme do you use to get concrete and the curbs, sidewalks to look like that?
It was in one of the “stray cats territory” packs.
Thank you for the quick tutorial, maybe more?
Nice development over the three but where is your European one?
I always felt like New York and New Jersey should also count as both are named after places in England. I never understood why they wouldn't count as New England States.
Nice looking thumbnail, looking forward to watching this later, but you will get the thumbs up now anyway :D
Much appreciated. Enjoy the video :)
I always enjoy Cities Skylines video@@YUMBL :D
No matter if the reator is you, Biffa, Cityplanner, Czardus even RT gamer and Spiffing Britts I enjoy, those are the ones I can remember I usually watch for inspiration and to live through when my own comp slowly gives up on my own cities, when I hit the 100k+ pop :D
Thats quite the list of names, and I’m honored to be included :)
Heh @@YUMBL
I have specially gotten inspiration from your round-a-bouts videos, and your Node controller 3.0 tutorial I really liked
Is there trick to allow services to the university, although only connected by pathways?
If not, you could try to keep the great looks by adding the road at the back side and move the spawn points for the building
The front of the asset is touching the road, so it will get services. I could move the spawn to the side and add a little access road if we need though.
@@YUMBL it is? Thought that was before you moved it... We'll see if garbage piles up... Thx f y reply
What's the name of the song that starts at 16:50?
Great video, loving this highly detailed build, makes me want to spend more time enhancing my cities instead of just wanting them to grow.
Amazing job as always Mr. tv.
Question: Does anyone else sing the N64 Buck Bumble commercial to themselves when they get a YumbleTV notification?
...
...
...
Just me, huh.
I had never even heard of it
Never played the game but the commercial burrowed itself into my head when I was a wee lad. ua-cam.com/video/x7ok5AV7ZrM/v-deo.html
what mod that you use to have the building counting in your rico tab?
Thats find it. Its in the find it settings tab (the gear)
What mod do you use to make the pavement so realistic? standard in game it's just grey.
It’s a few different concepts. Check out my videos about “dark roads” and “visual mods” to see!
@@YUMBL thnx. I'll do that :)
Do you think you may eventually do a bus loop in the town? At least where I’m from most towns over about 5,000 people have a bus loop of sorts.
But then again this is also a small American town.
There will at least be a functioning school bus. Even if its not used properly (non students using the loop) I like the energy and movement it would bring.
One question here, if you hand place all buildings, would that influence the game? I mean, the city would need different buildings to adapt to the new economies or situations? how does your game work? having abandoned buildings?
I still pay attention to demand. Ive deactivated abandoned buildings.
Main Street is reminding me more and more of Plymouth NH, is that close by to you?
I dont live in NH currently, but I’ve been looking at Dover NH and New London NH a lot. I ran from the campus police at Plymouth once. I didnt go there, but I had a back pack full of beer 🤣
May i know what street/road are you using?i like the texture
I have a video called “dark roads” that explains the color. All assets are linked in the description.
My former town has no traffic lights and no yields. Just two lane roads and stop signs. Only 2,000 residents.
Love me some small town living
@@YUMBL I've lived in two different Vermont villages with less than a thousand people in them. Yay for the teensiest of towns!
I’m from NH, right on the Connecticut River. Spent lots of time in VT :)
What is the name of the asset that you used on parking sir? Is there on your asset list?
It is! “Modular parking lots” is probably the one.
@@YUMBL Thank you, sir. I appreciate
