      Hi, I looked at the map. May just be that I'm missing assets, but I think the railways are missing a few bridges on the outer parts, so there is no outside connection.

    I would suggest to change the elevation of the train tracks that are going through the city from the train station. I think it would look pretty nice when you lower the tracks and the ground surrounding them so its kinda like the Los Angeles river but instead of water you have train tracks. You can then put a lot of shrubbery and decorative items there. I think that would look better than this tiny train bridge. Since this part of the city is on a hill, the train tracks will level itself near the connection of the main line.

    Seeing a city center so disconnected feels weird, hopefully it will sit right in the middle of a bustling metropolis in the future.
    But I belief the little path from the train station is not usable, it seems to be connected to the two-way highway, that doesn't have walking paths.
    You also could make one of the little, scammy Path-Parks, so people pay for walking, as a nice little extra income or a bus line that connects to the center and another one for the rest of the city.

    The block in the city center you tried to zone but couldn't around 7:00... is it possibly because you had a park there, and then used "move it" to move it? Almost seems like the game still thinks it's a park.

    Hey. Like the city. And thanks for showing the Real Time Mod. Love it. Mind i suggest: In addition i am using the District Services Mod. Basically if you have a Service Building (School, Fire, Garbage, ...) in an District, the Building is only for this District. You can add other Districts by clicking on the Building and using a Checkbox with a disctrict List (and also a Checkbox with "all districts"). Outside of a District, it will be Citywide. Also for Schools there is a Option in the Optionmenu to set them Citywide all the time. Good bye "Oh there is a Fire at the other End of the City, so i schould send a firetruck through the whole City and generate useless Traffic - Maybe the Building is still there if i arrive there". Really cool for Garbage Management as well. Needs a bit "training" to not forget to add a Disctrict to a big firestation in an area - for example. But enables nice build options like Cityparts without Road connection without Services failing, maybe on an island. This Mod maybe would be a nice addition to your City. There was/is a Bug with Campus DLC Universities, but as long as the Campus is not in a District it is fine (The industrial/park/university Districts don't count for this mod, only city districts). Don't know if its fixed yet, don't have Capus myself - only read about it. Ah and btw: Your path at the end goes to a highway. - And sorry for messing up lower/upper chars... As a german it is weired to me to write nouns lowercase. :D

I used to be a complete computer nerd, playing everything all day and night. Thought cities skylines would be the same, but a 14 in screen and new UI environment, coupled with 2 years of not even owning a computer. .... has humbled me. You sir, are a MASTER at your craft, and craft it is.... here is to time spent traveling the world, time spent outside and realizing that one can't have both worlds. .... play on my good sir, play marvelously on.

    You should make a city with only 2 way roundabouts for junctions... I mean heck anyone could but you're fun so it would be extra fun lol. It would be neat to see you make it a serious, nice looking build that also doubles as a drunken ant farm simulator. XD

    I think you could force them to only turn right on that kinda busy intersection at 14:45.. theres a roundabout just some blocks ahead
