    Since the city has grown so much I would love to see how it looks during nighttime! (just like in the beginning of an episode, since I totally understand why you'd have it off normally)

    There's a set of gateless park entrances on the workshop (by CitizenWMustache) that might be useful for doing areas like the beach! Although I think the way you did it looks pretty bomb too. I LOVE your Lombard St and the view from the top is absolutely stunning. Might be the prettiest thing I've ever seen in CS tbh. Also maybe from the beach over the ridge to the fort (and maybe the sea fortress unique building) could be a good place for the cable cars you were trying to fit in last episode. A continuation of the scenic cable cars (road) to the scenic cable cars (aerial) for a full scenic experience.

  • @bjarniyt1402

    Hey flabs, I love the series!
    Here are my thoughts on the trams. I would suggest splitting the line in two. A normal tram between the downtown and the SF area, and a touristy tram between SF area and the beach.
    You could extend the normal tram line to Myrtle to alleviate the pink bus and even further towards Coleridge.
    For the touristy tram I would think extending it to were the mansions are is a good idea and build something there touristy, like a viewpoint. On the other end of the line I think extending it towards the castle is a good idea. Either via a tunnel, or around the mountain and along the sea. Sort of like the dawlish seawall railway line in the UK.

    For the part of the hill where you first placed the mansions, could be a pretty cool Vitkov-inspired build. It's a park in Prague on a high hill next to the city-center. On top is a building that now functions as a lookout point, national memorial and museum. There was a large battle in 1420 and after his death in 1953, the body of the Communist president/dictator of Czechoslovakia Klement Gottwald was kept there. Pretty cool place and could be a cool inspiration!

    What if in the area behind the beach, you do like walking paths and a sorta nature reserve. And they can sightsee down into the fort thing.
    It's also hilarious when the camera or a prop does something funky and you say, "woah."

  • @cruelaz

    for the disabled parking it would make sense putting closest to the shopping mall these spaces are usually closest to the buildings for easy access

    I live next to San Francisco so it is so cool to see you build someing inspired by it! Such an amazing place, and I love anything Victorian and San Francisco (and the Bay area around it) has SO MANY Victorian buildings. Most were rebuilt to look Victorian after the massive earthquake, But there are still many that survived. The Painted Ladies are some of the surviving ones and are so famous cause they are all in a row and on a hill with one of the best views in the city. Little can match the beautiful intricate architecture of the Victorian era (which was from around 1825-1901) and of San Francisco....sorry for the long comment haha im very passionate

  • @GoldOrMyGrave

    super happy about the wheel! i had been wanting it by the downtown beach for a long time.
    \maybe placing some of the San Fran style houses in other areas could help them stand out a touch less, as their colours are a bit different from other houses and buildings in the rest of the map. and more beach assets!

  • @jmcdonald.1998
    @jmcdonald.1998 2 роки тому +2

    MAN these new areas are so cool! It’s starting to feel like a video game environment, like somewhere you really wanna explore! I also think it would be neat if, if you still wanted to get a rail line to the cargo harbour down the coast there, you ran the rail line down the back of the mall and nightclubs and then over the road, and have it tunnel under the hills and river mouth either side. It would be pretty realistic, I’d say.

    @mpfromnl1986 2 роки тому

    This city just keeps getting better and better. I love the new SF inspired area with the tramline and the new beach. I would suggest getting the parkify mod so your regular parks and plazas can snap to park paths instead of roads. Its really useful to put beach volley on the beach. You can even use the surface painter to get rid of the concrete underneath so it looks like a stand alone thing. Also in find it if you search for parasol you get the really fun randomised colorful parasols you can scatter over the beach. Makes it look a lot more lively as well.

  • @LeZimen

  • @spartan117zm
    @spartan117zm 2 роки тому

    31:06 I think a tram turnaround and a cable car station would be great, because you could run the cable car up to the fort. You could also check the workshop for the inclined railway mod; that might be really cool to use here to go up to the fort.
    Edit: I just realized in the next minute there that the fort isn’t actually up on the mountain like I thought it was, there’s just a weird ridge between it and the beach area you’re building. Maybe raise the fort and the land there to make it look like it is sitting up on a plateau/headlands area, since that would really make more sense for a fort guarding the entrance to the river. Also it would then allow you to use the cable car or inclined railway.
    36:43 - I think on the right side of this frame, you should’ve left the land sloping up to the edge of the parking lot (like how it is at 35:29) because you could’ve then built a little ramp down from the parking lot to allow for disabled access to the beach since at the moment you’ve only got stairs.

    I love the San Fransisco area, it looks amazing. The wavy street especially, I think it really fits in well.
    The beach is looking a touch sad at the moment, but I think if you can find some beach umbrella/lounge chair assets it'll look more touristy. Also maybe some beach huts? Beaches here in the UK often have a long line of brightly coloured sheds on one side of the road, and they look super cute.

    Definitely up the speed of those cable cars. To force some vehicles onto the curvy road, you could always ban cars or certain kinds of traffic on the side streets or specific lanes, basically force some vehicles like to turn left or right or whatever to use the curvy road.
