About this:
I've been wanting to do more challenge based videos for a while now. This was my first attempt. I like parts but know where I want to improve for next time. The goal of this challenge is to reach 50 000 population in under 10 hours. The terrain posed the biggest challenge. Being a super mountainous island meant that space was limited as well as difficult to work with.

I haven't seen any of your other content, but I really liked this video. The game challenges concept seems to be really algorithm friendly, you should do more vids like this!
Hello
how did you get the map to work? the mod just freezes at 75%
Tropico is better
how did you get the map to work? for me it dosent load
I love this, you made it look extremely neat! What I enjoyed most wasn't really the challenge, but more seeing the entire island transformed and a city built up and finished in one video. I love that you actually made it look good. I would love to see more videos like these where you build and finish a city altho you can probably do without the challenge and allow yourself to speed up. The commentary/video style was very nice to watch too, not hours of watching someone build a small detailled thing, but also no time-lapses where you can't really see what's actually being built anymore. Would love to see more!
Thanks for the feedback!
@@twodollarstwenty plz give us a part 2! this was amazing!
@@twodollarstwenty Agreed with guys comment , this is the content i have been searching for !
I think this is the secret formula for Cities Skylines videos on yt. Not too long - not too short, not too detailed - not too fast, being able to see the progress and the cities actually being beautiful and harmonised and making sense realistically.
@@Anonymous_UserOrNot I agree totally, I really cba to watch a 46 part series of someone meticulously placing every single object. But I do like seeing cool cities being built
Love how there're always wildland fires going on in Shirley. This is more attractive than a normal island city --- "Shirley, the city of (literal) fire"
It's like the never-ending Springfield Tire Fire from the Simpsons
i went to colorado once. there was a wildfire like a month before, right next to where my family stayed.
That's what he get for replacing the previous trees with pine trees xD
Should've named the place Centralia :D
Clearwater county moment
I'd love to see more standalone challenges for Cities Skylines like this, there's so much potential in there.
YES, its how i found the channel
This is a great, simple concept - lot's of fun! I'm tempted to try something similar :D
$2.20 infrastructurist collab when? 👀
COLLAB!
That was really good fun and very well done 😁
As no one else is gonna comment I'm gonna, so Hi
Ever the poet, Biffa.
you probably have to fix his traffic :)
I love that you used classic SimCity and The Sims music with this video. SUCH A NOSTALGIA TRIP!! - and playing those games as a kid is part of the reason I love Cities Skylines now.
Fantastic work - would love to see more projects and challenges like this. :)
One of the most enjoyable and funny Cities: Skylines videos I've ever watched, I would love to see more of these!
i agree
I can't wait to see Shirley Island again! May I suggest keeping a similar "normal names" convention and naming one of the beach towns Gabe?
The Sims and Simcity 4 Soundtracks are just the best gems for this kind of plays! Its simply divine to the ears
This may be my favourite Cities Skylines video ever made ❤ not only you're a great city builder but also a fantastic storyteller!
Amazing video really enjoyed this "let's play" type aspect, also the SimCity 3000 music hit me right in the feels
Great content man!
Love your other series, but these make a nice addition to your catalouge!
Love to see it coming!
I love these little episodes besides your main series doing some kind of challenges, would like to see more of them in the future
The city's initially called 100 000 citizens challenge lol
This was absolutely awesome $2!!! You've outdone yourself, I thoroughly enjoyed this.
I looove that you use sims background music, it’s so soothing and nostalgic for me. Also the forest fire still raging at the end killed me 😂 good job at hitting 50k!
Good job! I like how there's a story behind it and also the focus on Shirley :) Then that you manage to make it look nice while trying to reach your goal is an added bonus. You're a very accomplished Skyliner good Sir!
The commentary along with these standalone projects are really great! Keep up the good work!
This one was next level, from editing to the gameplay itself. Really good!!
I love how while you are panning over the city there are massive forest fires raging
I like this, and would like to see more in the future! There's a challenge I like to see others do called "Fix the Traffic" scenario where a moderately sized city called Appletown has a really dysfunctional street layout with traffic that's absolutely... fracked. Another is Las Vegas. Hope to see you do them!
Been following since you couldn't even talk all the way through a springwood episode, and now you're making well edited, fully narrated challenge videos!
Insane how far you've come. Amazing video.
I like your speaking cadence and music! Good vibes, subscribed. Haven't played this game in years but will play the second!
Great video! Love the snippet of the SimCity soundtrack. RIP Shirley, a true pioneer.
Enjoyed this video very much! Hope to see more in the future! P.S. Love the sims music ❤️
You've struck gold with this new video concept! I really hope you produce more of these in the future, and keep this style of editing!
This was an absolutely entertaining and riveting story. I expected a speed build, not an in depth story development of Shirley. 10/10 I recommend! You've gained a new sub
I wasnt expecting to laugh as much as I did at this, nice video man 😄
I’m not gonna lie I was kinda confused at first, but man this is a dope video from the editing, storyline, presentation, and even how you built the city… man you mastering the game 💯 keep it up my guy🏙
I love that this is not only a challenge video that is different from your normal video's, but has a whole Shirley Cinematic Universe attached to it.
Very enjoyable video!!
Super funny and engaging format! It's been a long while since i've watched a full C:S video without skipping around at all. Love that you gave the whole thing a narrative arc
Thanks my friends!
This video just goes to show how good this guy is at detailing. Theres 0 chance I could make anything even close to this.
That’s a really neat idea to name the city after the very resident that moves in. I hadn’t ever thought to do that. You’re correct that a lot of traditional cities were named either after a person that first resided in the area (either their first or last name) or after the group/tribe/clan that dwelled there. In the US, cities and towns also get names in other ways. The most common is to name the new city/town after where the early residents came from. I my state we have a city named Prague because the founding residents were Czech (the city still celebrates its Czech heritage). However, to ensure there’s no confusion between this city and the one in Europe the founding residents referred to this city with the pronunciation of “Pray-g” which is how it’s still referred to even though the spelling is the same. Other cities were named after their founders, but some are railroad cities so the owners of the railroad named them. My city was named after a character in Arthurian stories by the railroad chief. Some towns/cities were named by the US Post Office. Sometimes this was done by local post masters with the permission of the residents to come up with a name or it was done because the residents had chosen a name that was already used nearby by another town/city. The name was supposed to be temporary until residents chose a different name, but the residents didn’t get around to it. Sometimes cities/towns were named by combining or shortening other place names. Example: Lahoma is just Oklahoma without the Ok in it. Okarche is Oklahoma-Arapaho-Cherokee shortened to Okarche. Then you have cities/towns with corporate names either because the company was a founding company or because the company paid the town to rename itself. DISH, Texas is an example of the latter while Hershey, Pennsylvania is an example of the former. And of course there’s plenty of cities/towns with names of heroes, be they historical or of the town. Same with street names. In my home town the original streets were numbers and letters except 1st was named Grand and the wide road that connected the eastern portions to downtown was named Broadway and the main street into town that had businesses on it was called Market. Broadway and Grand are still named that and their intersection (Grand is north-south street; Broadway is east-west) is the center of the grid with N/S, E/W of street names starting there (all streets north of Broadway are named north whatever and south of Broadway are south whatever and all streets east of Grand are east whatever and west of Grand are west whatever). To the north the other streets are named after trees while to the south the other east-west streets are named after places. The north-south streets east of Grand are numbered while west they’re named after US Presidents. That makes two other major streets Van Buren and Cleveland. There’s them themed neighborhoods further west and east in which the developers named them accordingly (like one that’s American colonial history named: Constitution, Monticello, Franklin, Mount Vernon, etc as street names). And we have streets named after the developers. I grew up on a street named after the developer of the neighborhood whom my grandparents knew and whom they purchased the houses from (their house and my parents house). Randolph is a major street named after an early developer. One east-west street was renamed after the Spanish-American War to Maine after the USS Maine which exploded in Havana Bay, Cuba...the incident which the US government used to declare war on Spain. Market was also renamed in the 1970s to Owen K. Garriott, named after a local guy who went on to become an astronaut with NASA. The city museum has his return capsule. Likewise the local airport is named after a local early aviation pioneer who helped encourage the city to build the airport. Other street names are after the railroads that cross the city. They usually got their name from the station located there. An example is Rock Island. The city is still a major railroad hub (and has a railroad museum). When I lived in another city in my state the same kind of history exists with their street names. They literally have a street named Flood because whenever it would rain for several days at a time in spring and fall the street would flood making it unusable. It no longer floods (better drainage, etc), but the name stuck. Schools also get names like that. In my hometown the elementary schools are named after Presidents usually with two exceptions: one was an early school that was built as part of another community that eventually merged into the city, Glenwood, so the school continues with its name (while it has a new building, the original one-room school house is still on the property and used). The other is Prairie View which was a name submitted by students across the district and then voted on by the first students to attend the school. Middle schools are named after poets like Longfellow and Emerson, but the newest one was named by the school board after the superintendent of the district that had, at the time, sought to modernize the schools (this was the early 1960s). So that middle school bears his name. There’s only one high school and it is named after the city. In the other city I lived in they have two high schools, both named after the city with their geographical location of the second school indicating the difference. Thus Norman High School and Norman High School North. The district had discussed building another high school in the southern part of the city where the city had grown rapidly over the last several decades. The name for it? Norman High School South, of course! The city my niece’s dad was from the high schools are similar except that instead of a geographical designation like north, south, etc they name it with the street name the high school is on: Edmond High School Santa Fe (because it’s on Santa Fe Road). In Oklahoma City metro area cities/towns sometimes merge so Putnam City High School is a school in Oklahoma City, but its name gives away some history. Anyways, you’re the second video I’ve watched of someone playing the game and developing characteristics to the city that make it feel real! You named it after the first resident (and even made her house historical and preserved it). The other person had businesses, parks, neighborhoods, etc named after cims. These are great ways to play the game with more depth. I’ll admit that I hadn’t thought to do that letting the game provide me with such info (i.e. using the cims themselves). I mean, I have named the city, streets, etc, but they were names I chose on my own from nowhere. Using the game itself to get those names and build it into a history is a neat way to play that I hadn’t considered. I think I will give it a try. Great video! It was fun both watching you challenge yourself as well as just watching you weave a unique history for your city. Thanks for making and sharing!
Holy shit dude
Yea I’m not reading all that, good luck with it, or sorry for your loss
Just wrote an essay
I read at least half
It’s the thought that counts ;)
I don't think I have ever seen a YT comment this long. I'm usually good at reading through them, but when I stopped to see how close I was to the end and it just kept going, and going, I said screw it. Lol
What I read was very interesting though!
Super entertaining video mate! Thanks 🙏🏼
That did not feel like 17 minutes! The video was so fun and engaging i was hooked all the way through! Please do more of these.
Love the SimCity 4 and Sims 1 music. Always classic.
This was a really good video and absolutely love the commentary, the transformation of the island and ofcourse the storyline (really neat) the thing i also liked is the music from a gem of a city-building game (Simcity 4!). Such a good video!! Thanks for doing such a type of challenge!
P.S: Can you tell what theme and LUT you have used here?
Thank you very much!
I love the idea, the simcity music bits and the result is stunning!
Loved this video. Particular kudos for using Sim City 4 music too. Man that hit me right in the familiars. ❤️
Thanks ya big beautiful beast 😘❤️
So fun to watch, this video actually inspired me to buy City Skylines and I'm loving the game!
Excellent! Glad you’re enjoying!
That's awesome!
I've played for over 5 years now and it still isn't getting old!
Even outside of mods, the expansions are almost all super cool and helpful.
I love the whole "Sherley" thing. I should probably do something similar in my cities, because I always have trouble coming up with names.
Shirley*
What the fuck is a sherley?
Great video! Even though I don't understand anything about this game you made it very interesting and I got hooked all the way trough
Never watched you before but you popped up and it intrigued me. . You're literally just playing the game as intended with a few restrictions and it was so enjoyable and refreshing, loved the format too
thats a nice looking map
Is that sim city 4 music???
I only just started watching cities videos a few days ago and just came across your chanel, I'm ten minutes in and I'm already hooked! This is really interesting to watch and I'm already obsessed with the lore of the town of Shirley 😂
Honestly I loved seeing you do this type of build. Felt refreshing. Would love to see more of this type or similar. Something like building a city on a custom 9tile map with minimal mods like move it, network multitool,forest brush, landscape mod to make things look neat and pretty, no assets just themes and all that jazz. Wonder how would that be.
If you'd like a suggestion, I'd be keen to see how big a city you can make in a single tile. You could call it "New Kowloon" (a dark name, but one that would fit).
Hello, glad there are more comunist people out there
You both require immediate institutionalization.
savegame? 😅
Man this was a awesome watch, nice change of pace. Keep up the good work 2.20!
Firstly, great video! One of the most entertaining, interesting, intreguing CS video I've personally ever watched. Secondly, I feel like Sunnybrooke would fit one of the beachside towns that you've neatly made. Loves the video and this makes me want to try and see if I can do the same!
hey i want to get into the game but i don’t know the essential mods?
For the start, I'd actually recommend vanilla. There really isn't a whole lot that's in need of tweaks immediately.
How did you get access to loans and tax adjustments with only a few hundred residents though? These usually unlock later...
Not usually into vanilla stuff but this was sooo much fun! Loved the fast commentary it really suited it like a speed run type thing and different to other cities skylines content. If do these in future I’d say keep the fast commentary speed run style! The city actually looks really great and was rooting for you to get to 50k and never doubted ya for a sec… bravo my guy! Great vid!
Thanks champ! You’re the best
I really liked this video and I also like it hows its a relatively quick 17 minute video. Very entertaining to watch and defo a bit of inspiration.
This was very, very entertaining. I haven't watched CS:S content in a while but this vid got me hooked to start watching your vids again. And even got me thinking to play again.
I loved this video!! Super funny and chill to watch!
Excellently done, beautiful city for inspiration & excellent commentary. I don’t usually comment like this but I’ve been a follower for a few years now and only gained back my cities skyline craze
I’ve been watching your videos for years and I have to say this is my favourite one yet, as much as I love your architecture and designs, it was so cool to just see a city form naturally and the challenges in building one
Great work! Btw I loved the sims music at the background ;)
Great video! Very fun and entertaining! I am really inspired now to try this as well. And I love the map! Thanks for the recommendation!
This was really good I really enjoy videos like this, well done 👍
this looks beautiful tbh. love your vanilla build as always
it's literally insane how he can do all of this. I am still learning how to play this game, and seeing how he just imagines how the roads overlap, and how he connects the railways is literally amazing. Great video!
I absolutly loved this video - relaxing, entertaining and fun. 11:55 But the fire/ watch towers at the bottom of a valley had me howling
Ive been watching your videos for a little over 2 years now, since Mid-Marble Mountain and I gotta say: The story telling around a city growing, all densed down in one under 20min video where things move quickly from one area to the next has extremely high entertainment value.
I found myself watching the whole thing from start to finish which I rarely do. I usually just skip through the video to see what things you built this time. This new kind of videoformat and the story telling keeps me interested. I would love to see this continued.
Probably the best CS channel on UA-cam your videos are worth every minute of watching .
Man this city looks lovely👍 great job!
Superb. Really enjoyed watching this.
This...was wonderful,not just a normal challenge video,big respect to Shirley and you
found your channel with this video, and the edit was very very appealing... You made yourself a subscriber today
Not only was the video interesting, but the quality, music, and cool storyline really made the video amazing, keep up the amazing videos!
Lol first time I ever sat and watched a vid about cities skylines from beginning till end, without skips! Loved this, you're incredibly entertaining :)!
I'm 4 months late, but those slow panning shots with jazzy elevator music at the end... with the city just nervously, yet triumphantly existing despite the giant forrest fires looming above had me cackling. In some ways, we are all Shirley. Great work man.
It’s always great when I stumble upon fellow Aussies great video I really injoyed this keep it coming mate
This was a little different from your usual videos but honest I found your commentary hilarious. Would love to see more videos like this!
hey man, i don't normally stop by to watch videos like this but I just gave it a chance and I loved every second of it! please keep doing you
Love this video format, excellent stuff!
This was a really good change of pace, enjoyed it a lot thanks!
I've barely even started the video, and already I've learned a great saying that I'll be using forever - "A good challenge is a great way to get creative." That's a good line, I love it.
Best video in a long time! Loved the speed and story.
Great vid, such good editing gjeting in all the interenting parts in such a small time line
Amazing!!!! Loved the story element of this video!!!
outstanding video. still love the others just as much but this was strangely exciting
Great video. Amazing map find too!
This is a breathe of fresh air from the 30 minute videos on one intersection that a lot of CS UA-camrs make
The SimCity 3000 soundtrack is epic! Compliments on the great video.
I really didn't expect to like this challenge as much as I did - neat concept but amazing execution!
This video was awesome to watch, great commentary and overall a good video to watch. Next challange idea: Most citizens gathered in ... hours. With some rules ofc. no speeding, health and good functioning city is required. Cuz else u can just spam houses. more rules are up to you. Thanks for the great video!
I love these videos where you don’t just build a city, but you tell a story that we become connected to.
Next challenge should be 100,000 residents in 15 or 20 hours
Really digging this. Well done.
I've never played this game but was fun to watch. Great video, editing and commentary
I've just found this channel/ video and I'm so glad I did. This is exactly what I needed in terms of just chilling in bed after a long day and watching a UA-cam video.
Damn great editing my dude!!
Means a lot coming from you!
I loved the way your did this video man with the story telling etc amazing stuff as always I don’t even play this game a great deal but still tune in for every video!
Thanks my dude!
I would like to see a challenge like this except there’s a theme too, so you have to choose industries and buildings and road layouts that match a certain style or objective. Excellent and entertaining video!
I love how you used the soundtrack from the sims 1! It’s so soothing ❤
Love the use of simcity music and I love the city, especially the national park to the cave in the center!
First video of yours that I've ever seen, 4 minutes in, and wow this commentary is well done.
