I would never play the game without this mod. It makes the game so much more varied and interesting that they should probably ask money for the mod and give the game away for free.
TM:PE is easily one of the best parts of the game. Thanks for watching!
Indeed, I feel like traffic doesn’t work well without the mod
@@YUMBL is this available for xbox one
@@52889alexmods aren’t on console. Sorry
That was the first mod I've installed in this game. I remember it clearly: I launched the game, started the map and proceeded to building my first interchange. And then I realized that I cannot disable left turns on the ramps. I googled the problem and voila, 3 minutes into the game and I subscribed to this mod.
I am finding this, and many of your tutorial videos to be on point to the sort of info one needs to know to get started with mods like TMPE. Also thanks for pointing out, in more than one vid, how to quickly select a mod in the settings...just little tips like that can save so much time for the gamer in the long run. Audio and video quality are excellent. Thanks for sharing!
Thank you very much :)
I just got back into the game after watching some of your videos and installing suggested mods. I am very confident that traffic will not screw me over this time! Thank you, your videos are top quality!
Nice! Have fun, and thanks for watching :)
Thanks for the great videos! I haven't played Cities Skylines for several years and its always tough to get back into the mods again. These are super helpful videos!
2:10 manual traffic lights are for pedestrian only. It's super handy to have traffic lights in the middle of the road, to give the possibility to cross the street. This way you can keep pedestrians away from junctions and further improve traffic flow.
Interesting!
Wait, *that's* what manual lights are for!? How do they work? I've been using a mod to place a node with a crosswalk in the middle of the road for this!
This is very helpful, I had not worked on a city in a month and by using the different features. About an 8% improvement in traffic flow after I checked all intersection for the vanilla lights, used lane connector and added timed lights.
Nicely done!
The yield sign section genuinely made me laugh out loud 😂 “ if you are a driver and don’t know what a yield sign is I’m about to enlighten you.”
Turning the Parking AI on has another big advantage! Ever noticed your cims 'getting into'/spawning their cars after they get out of a tram at a tramstop? Very unrealistic and very annoying especially when your tramstop is near an intersection where they spawn their cars behind the traffic lights and therefore ignoring these traffic lights!! Turning the Parking AI on prevents that! (the option 'Prevent unnecessary transfers at public transport stations does something else) But like you mentioned you have to pay a lot more attention to parking spaces!
Agreed! I love cims seeking out their parked car, transit, or biking when they get off a train.
Yumble, I'm just now seeing this video, and this is exactly what needed to be done. Explain in great detail on each one, and show us how it works. TY.
Liked and Subbed!!!
I really wish we were able to change the settings in the options menu and keep them as a default. I always put the same stuff on every save file it would be really helpful.
I absolutely agree! I found my settings a year or two ago and haven’t change them since.
Thank you for the detail explanations, just what I needed.
I was REALLY hoping you would do this :) Thanks!
You’re vert welcome!
TMPE is in my opinion easily in the top 5 must have mods. For me Move It is supreme. I have found your tutorials very helpful and I gain a different insight as well. Keep up the great work and I am looking forward to the next notification.
Thank you so much! Huge compliments. Move It is unbeatable. :)
I actually use TMPE so much more than Move It... It's so essential
I have been playing for 490 hrs., trying to learn all the MODs and I must say that this video was is the most informative I've seen thus fare. I wish someone would do a nice, slow, informative video on the CSUR Road MOD. The only ones I've seen are for FREEWAYS, but it's also for city streets........
Great JOB ON THIS VIDEO THOUGH.
Thanks a lot :)
thank you for this! i just downloaded the mod and felt a little overwhelmed, and prefer video tutorials over the guide the mod provides :) thanks again!!
I really enjoy your videos. Your explanation is awesome! Thank you!
I’m glad it helped :)
Awesome and helpful video as always, thank you.
just came across your channel ;) Luv it. Very informative and pleasant to listen to.
Much appreciated! :)
6:52 thank you! There are constantly people that don't seem to know what that sign is lol
I am from Russia and a Yield is the default here lol. Stop signs here are only used if visibility is bad.
Thanks for the tutorial. I realize that the only reason I've avoided mods is because they look so intimidating to learn. You made it look easy, so I'm downloading traffic manager now.
stumbled on your channel earlier today. subbed. your info is legit. thanks for your time.
Thank you for being here, and welcome! :)
@2:55 the lane edit is miraculous and saved stupid IA from getting stucked into not allowed lanes or parking. espacially big parking mod. it took me several hours to figure of to fix that traffic issue. so don't forget to set lane directions, especially when you're banning cars or if you're using custom assets.
3:54 you are too polite lmaoooo xD
Flying cars smh…
Super helpful! Thank you!!
I love yours videos, thank you for all the tutorials, i like to use mods but sometimes i don´t know to use them. Greetings from Argentina.
Thanks for this tutorial, YUMBL! Very helpful along with the timed traffic lights video you did.
It’s funny that you enable allowing trucks to prefer the outermost lane. In New Jersey (and I think a lot of other US states) the state motor vehicle laws actually forbid trucks from occupying the left-most lane, even on highways. Not sure why; I find most trucks barreling down a highway as fast as they can go and often passing vehicles on the right because of this law, but that’s how it is.
You’re very welcome! So as it turns out, the outermost lane means the right-most in right hand traffic. The TM:PE wiki specifies its so they will “...only venture in to the adjacent lane when overtaking. This leaves other lanes for faster-moving traffic, such as cars and vans.”
Oh!! So I completely misunderstood “outermost”. 😂 I thought it meant center-most (outermost relative to direction of travel) rather than furthest from road center.
No worries! I think (at least in game) it’s good to have on. If it allows fast moving vehicles to overtake big trucks then its a good thing.
Thank you so much for this tutorial!
You’re very welcome!
Awesome tutorial!
Bad drivers are getting their mind blown at 7:45 HAHAHA As per usual, amazing video, Yumbl! Very helpful! I look forward to the follow up timed lights video, that is the one thing in Traffic Pres that has always intimated me that I have wanted to use. I do have general traffic light question that you didn't answer in this video, if you maybe could answer in the follow up one, how does Traffic Pres effect the "vanilla" toggle for traffic lights that is built into the game? I see that acting weird sometimes, where if I toggle it off/on traffic lights in the vanilla area, but then mess with it in Traffic Pres the vanilla game will still show a light, but then Traffic Pres won't, or maybe it's vice versa. Either way, there seems to be something weird with traffic lights that can be borked when you accidently use both in certain orders. Do you have any 2 cents on that? Should I just NEVER touch the vanilla built in game light toggle if I'm using Traffic Pres?
Thanks dude! I think the toggle works the same. Weather vanilla or in TMPE. I used to worry about that as well bit nothing ever came of it. I do recommend disallowing automatic traffic lights in TMPE settings to avoid using vanilla lights entirely.
Its amazing what adding a few painted arrows to certain roads did for the traffic in my city. Lol
The power of symbols! 😂 Thanks for watching!
Nice video! I personally love what the parking AI does to the game. Initially, however, I was very confused seeing cars that randomly stop in the middle of the street "thinking about a parking spot" ...
Thank you for watching!
Awesome video! Manual traffic light mode is 100% controlled by you. Got an intersection backlogged that you are trying to fix but need to get the traffic out of the way? Go manual and give that backed up traffic a green light for as long as you want. It's a timed traffic light but you are the timer.
Got it! Thats why i never use it 😂
I played with this a bit, but quickly got overwhelmed. Hopefully, this has helped me get things to work as I want. :) I also have been having trucks and buses get stuck a lot at stops, or picking up goods. I think it is from turning the mod off. I do think playing without the mod did help me find ways to get my traffic better without the mod, so if I do get into it again, I still know what mistakes to avoid, and will need it less over all.
I guess I am off to watch the timed lights tutorial, and see if those are as good as you let on, and make me turn to mod back on. :)
Have seen that U-turn thing in Hawaii, where you can't turn left but instead have to go to the next intersection and do a U-turn. It's the only place I've seen it.
I wonder if lane connectors would be able to handle Melbourne Australia hook turns where you turn across traffic from the outside lane.
I wish you mentioned that the vehicle restrictions were *per lane*, which means you could, for example, ban commercial vehicles from the inner lanes of a highway so giant semi-trucks won't block the highway for thru traffic. I used it combined with per-lane speed limits to make priority bus lanes (busses weren't respecting the brown lanes, but making those lanes 5mph faster in the bus lanes made the busses prefer those lanes)
Here in Russia we have a nickname for the "main road" sign - a scrambled egg. Once I've heard it it never gets out of my mind whenever I see it while driving.
Those black roads looking amazing, where can I find them on the workshop? Great video!!
Thank you! It’s called “roads color changer ++”. Enjoy!
12:10 what you're describing is called a Michigan left. There's one example in the city I live in that is notorious for accidents
Would you mind sharing your game settings? I love how dark your roads look and, in general, the resolution of the details (e.g. buildings, cars, etc.).
The road colors are courtesy of “roads color changer ++”. I’m sure my graphic settings are all the way up (textures, shadows and the like), but I have a whole video dedicated to the visual side of skylines. Enjoy! ua-cam.com/video/_4A5z2H5NT8/v-deo.html
I use foot bridges every where, keeps the sims off the roads so no slowing down or stopping traffic.
I also add foot paths to cut through longer blocks with a crosswalk to the other foot path in lesser traffic areas or overhead bridge in busy areas
Sims crossing the road will slow or even stop traffic.
I also prefer the tram roads with trams in outer lanes again keeping the sims out of traffic, use crosswalk or foot bridges to get to the other side of road
Sims crossing the road is a big factor in traffic problems
Add crosswalk and auto add overhead foot bridges mods are great for these strategies
@4:00 brilliant moment: "Vehicles turn wherever they want without arrows." Right there, a car turns right before the junction going straight into the building. :-) - Ah, we all love the behaviour of vanilla Cities Skylines ;-)
Very informative and easy to follow, thanks. Totally unrelated to TM - how do you get your mods into an alphabetical list?
Thank you! I think its a mod called “mod order” or something. Its nice though.
About the dispawning, I tend to leave it be, because apart from "helping" with traffic it clears the game from car glitches, that may appear quite often, especially with a lot of mods. Sometimes a car get stuck or turn into infinite loop for some reason, and then the game engine will despawn it after some period of time. Obviously, the game cannot tell apart a glitched car from a traffic jammed car, and if your traffic is really bad, then you'll see some people escaping it into the unknown. But it's not really that hard to prevent your traffic from being THAT bad, the time before cars are despawned is big enough. Even with enabled despawning I see car glitches more often, then despawning from traffic jams. But it may be due to some mods, so it's up to everybody's own experience.
I get that. I may try it with despawning on and see if i get a performance increase.
God I love this mod!
Based on the TM:PE wiki, it appears that you can edit the Global Configuration, rather than changing the options with each city. Have you attempted this, and if so do you have an XML available for download somewhere that captures the settings you went through?
I have not done either yet. I didn’t know that was an option. I only change a few things, but i’d love to have them carry over from save to save.
There are nearly 50 must have essential and fundamental mods for CSL that should be directly implemented into Skylines 2. Then a bunch of other ones that would be nice as well. Come on CSL2!
Brilliant.
Is there any way to make the traffic signals look like the one in the thumbnail?
I thought that was an in-game screenshot of the "doghouse" style traffic signal with 3 regular solid lights and 2 (green & yellow) arrows. I'd be interested in learning more if that is part of the game/mod. If not, then good work on compositing the thumbnail in Photoshop.
Yes, with steam workshop assets and a mod. Get a light pack you like, and use “traffic light replacer.”
TY
Do you have apartment mods or do you have to use the green zoning plan for them?
"We can't stop at every 'Sop', 'Yeld' and 'One Vay' sign... :P
Seriously though, TM:PE is a great mod :D
Yield signs are replaced with 'give way' signs in Australia. Stop signs work the same.
I mentioned give ways several times! :)
WoW at 8:39 I see a Tim Hortons, can I please get a coffee!!
Dunkin is better! 😂
Hi Yumble!
I'm a big fan of your gaming! I've tried to use your tips. However, I've run into some problems. My pedestrians seem to ignore the paths I put down for them. Is that because I'm missing some mod or DLC?
Thank you very much! There are no mods required for pedestrian pathing. They will always follow the shortest route to their destination. Is there a reason for them to use the path? Is it shorter than alternatives? Also ensure that it’s close enough to a road to be accessed. I hope this helps!
@@YUMBL thanks for your answer! I found the problem. The path definitely is useful, but I was using the wrong path. I used the path in the road section instead of the landscaping one haha
I’m glad it worked out!
Does anyone know where I can get an older version of this that is compatible with v 1.8 of cities skylines? I bought the game a while ago but don't have internet on my PC to update so I have been using my phone to download mods and transfer them to my pc
What mod were you using for the roads and those nice looking bikelanes? What did you use for your diverging diamond interchange?
The mod is “roads color changer ++”. The bike lanes are built into the roads, and the diverging diamond is made of highway roads. Thanks for watching!
@@YUMBL Thanks for the reply. Been using TPME for a while but learned some new stuff from your video. Thanks for posting!
I know that I am a year late, but is there any way to make TMPE compatible with CSM (mod that allows cities skylines to be multiplayer)?
the 3:53 car is a paid actor fr xD
In the US you xant turn into any lane you want you suppose to turn to the nearest lane then merge up the road
"You don't just despawn and end up at home if you're stuck in traffic in real life"
I've had a few encounters with tequila that ended up just like that tho...
What if I will set the speed limit to no limit, will any bad thing happen?
Other than that
I am newish the game and new at the mod. I don't have dlc for different type of highway lanes, so I taught about I am using 6 lane one way roads as highway and 2, 3 lane one way street roads as highway ramps, loops etc. with no speed limit or as game equivalent to highway roads.
Nothing bad will happen. Trains are set to no limit by default. Cars will be attracted to that road disproportionately though.
It is illegal in the United States to turn into whichever lane you want. The law states that in pretty much all cases you must turn into the "first immediate lane". The exception of course is when you have more than one lane turning in the same direction, but even in those cases the cars are restricted as to which lane they can turn into
You are supposed to turn into the immediate lane, yes. But our roads also dont have a node system where you can only change lanes at certain places so I think some leniency is in order.
@@YUMBL Well, I want to thank you for the excellent road videos for Cities: Skylines. After watching your videos on the Traffic Manager mod and the Road Markings Mod I promptly subscribed to the latest versions of the Mods in the Workshop (including Unified UI). The Options included more decision points in the latest versions but I followed your recommendations checking everything you had :)
Does anyone know why we cant change the settings of this mod anymore? The latest update locked it all
hi there, what mod is in 3:02 ? To put like a concrete pavement that's gray around the diverging IC ?
Intersection marking tool! I have a few vids about it
I need help. I have downloaded this mod, it is in the options between mods, is activated but in game is not. I don't have there the little icon. I don't understand where is the problem.
Did you check on the steam workshop page? With the people who made it?
First of all thank you so much for your videos, they are helping a lot to understand the mods.
Can the traffic manager help to fix the problem where cars only use one lane on a multilane road? This often occurs on my intersections and causes backup. For example I build a three lane road with a dedicated left turn lane and two lanes going straight. But they only take the right lane straight and ignore the middle one. The lane connector doesn't seem to help.
I hope you can understand my problem, English isn't my native language 😅
Thank you! Theyre probably choosing to use the the straight lane because theyre turning right up ahead. Just a hunch. See if you can add more connections to give the vehicles different routes. Thats my best guess without seeing it :)
@@YUMBL yeah, you were right. I had a roundabout shortly after and made too much use of don't change lanes 😅 but since the traffic has increased a lot I changed the intersection from your Partial Cloverleaf to The Stack and it's flowing nicely now 👍 thanks again, you're doing an amazing job 👏🥰
Thank you :)
The reason I don’t like enable realistic parking is because the game doesn’t have built in underground parking for large skyscrapers, shopping centres etc so having it off kinda makes it seem like cars despawning when they get to their destination are simply driving into an underground parking lot.
I absolutely agree! In a real city there will be many inlets for underground parking which cities skylines has not yet accounted for. I’ve tried placing parking garages inside buildings with mixed results. I would also love to see functional delivery docks for cargo trucks. There is still so much potential!
HIA! Ive been trying to get this mod to work in my city but, it seems im getting alot of errors :( So... my question is: *Does this mod work for the "Park Life" version???*
Do you have compatibility report installed? This mod should work with all current dlc if you have the latest version.
The only reason I stopped playing City Skylines on my PlayStation was because of the traffic. I had a nice city built, but every time I saw people cutting in front of each other at the intersections, I couldn’t deal with it anymore!
9:26 its still setup wrong, check the lane connectors at the left hand side junction, its not allowing turning out of the roundabout there
Yea, i picked the worst roundabout. The tram track got in the mix and I got carless.
What city is this? I would love to download it
14:23 The Vehicle Restriction Policy
I wonder in which category the hearses fall in. The are not in the SOS category.
In my case, I would only allow Bus lanes to take buses and SOS vehicles. But it appears that Hearses cannot go to that specific lane and hence the dead person in the building right next to that lane never gets picked up. So hearses are not enlisted as SOS vehicles. Trucks or Garbage; I guess.
Can you please tell?
And yeah, amazing video!
Thanks a lot!!
I believe hearses are SOS, but vanilla bis lanes should have no problem with hearses crossing them to pick up bodies
@@YUMBL Hey thanks for replying
Hello can someone help me by telling me if traffic management PE is good now? Im scared if it crash my pc huhuhu
What is your road assets do you use?
“Big urban roads” is the pack
How can i get these mods with cracked edition.
For whatever reason, this mod isn't showing up in my game. Does the mac version not support mods?
You have to subscribe to it in the steam workshop, then turn it on in the content manager in the main menu
23:45 - I'm a truck driver. For realism, turn this off. Truckers actually prefer what we call, "the lane of least resistance," on major thoroughfares. This means that we don't encounter local traffic entering and exiting the highway.
I was thinking about this today actually. Coming home from work. I was wishing vehicles who are not attempting to pass or exit would stay in the middle (66w near DC). 3-4 lanes in one direction. If you’re going w the flow the middle is the best for everyone!
Have you done an updated video on this? You skipped a bunch of Roundabout settings. There is a scroll bar on the right to scroll down to more options.
No. I think TM:PE updated about a week ago.
@@YUMBL - You planning on doing an updated video. They seem to have added quite a few new settings.
I may have to. I could certainly make a better video now anyways
Hello, Wanted to try this for some of the features I see! BUT! Why my traffic % dropped from 94 down to 83 jest by installing this? What did it do to my game? I un install and my cites traffic is back to 94% again! Can I use this without slowing my traffic down? Am new to the game and have only started adding a few mod's I found! Startup screen, Find it, Achieve it, and the Harmony dependency! If there's a way to load this mod without slowing my vehicle traffic down! Can you show this? Thank You!
The percentage doesnt really matter.
@@YUMBL OK, But if the %'age doesn't really mater! Is there a setting within this mod to prevent it from affecting it? IF SO, Could you please enlighten me! Enquiringly minds would like to know! Why is it changing and how to prevent it! I can very easy to spoil my traffic flow jest by poor road management without a mod doing that for me! I see some awesome features in this mod but I don't like to go backward to go forwards! There's got to be a way to keep the mod from negatively affecting things from startup! Would you hire an old slow man for a production job? when you need young strong fast workers! I doubt it! Tho the old man has vast knowledge he still can't perform the task, Thus spoiling some part of production! I can't post my inquiry in Steam, Thus can't address this to the modders! Thanks for your kind reply!
I’ve never compared directly because I havent played without tmpe in years, but lots of people have said it lower traffic %. I just think the number doesn’t matter. www.reddit.com/r/CitiesSkylines/comments/sag304/traffic_flow_percentage_in_vanilla_vs_modded_w/
I'll use a higher reckless driver percentage so that local traffic will use bus only roads.
You are wrong about making turns in real life. The Highway Traffic Act states that when you make a turn from a multi lane to a multi lane you are to turn unto the closest lane then change lanes when safe to do so. I this intersection you have tractor trailers making turns from turning lanes into the curb lanes and as you can see it causes other traffic in that lane to slow or stop. At 12:52 if you look at the left of the screen you will see that you have 3 road arrows pointing straight, in real life the right lane always turns right at the next intersection.
I went to the timestamp and I’m not really sure what you’re pointing out. I agree that the law says to turn into the closest lane though.
setting up traffic lights. is very confusing to know what to set
what mod are you using for streets?
“Big urban roads”
Just subscribed to this but the icon isn’t showing up in my game 😅
Are you also subscribed to “unified UI”? It may be in there. Also check the in game traffic manager settings for issues.
when i start my game it gives an error and there is no button to the mod can someone help me???
Did you check on the workshop page for the mod? In the wiki, or the comments? Perhaps leave a comment there
does this mode works also for epic louncher? how can i do it?
I don’t know. I recommend getting the game on steam.
How do I get the road maintenance building mentioned around 20:10?
Its from the snowfall dlc
@@YUMBL Thanks for the reply! Hmm... I really like the idea of road maintenance for realism, but as a California kid, the idea of having to deal with snow infrastructure is entirely foreign, hahaha...
I’ve never actually played a snow map.
Hi, Good video! Could you make a mod free stack interchange?
A vanilla series would be good. Much more difficult, but maybe I’ll do it :)
Thanks!
At the 4 minute mark... Technically one is supposed to turn right into the closest lane then make a lane change to move over
Is that a US law, or international? I remember being taught that, but I don’t remember if its a law per se.
@@YUMBL Not sure if legislated or just good driving protocol. May depend on jurisdiction. In Alberta, Canada it will cost you points on a driving test if you don't turn into the correct lane.
Though for purposes of Cities:Skylines I wouldn't be that picky.
U diddnt go over timed lights though :(
Next episode! They’re the toughest part of TM:PE, and they deserve their own video.
Cities: skylines aren't cities: skylines without tm:pe.
One of the best mods! Thanks for watching
the parking ai kill my cities every time, although all the building are green.
I dont think green buildings affects parking. Does it?
11:43 You didn't link it
steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=1934023593
crossings mod?
Yes. There are several
@@YUMBL But no "links in the description". And many crossing mods are in the "broken list".
Right, because you didn’t use a sentence to ask your question I didn’t know what you we’re talking about. I’m still not entirely sure. What are you looking to do?
@@YUMBL I was kinda asking chat for any hint on the right crossing mod. Forgot that you actually read *all* the comments.
Already see your link to the mod. Thanks.
Glad it worked out!
Info to anyone watching this right now: LABS is not getting the newest updates anymore. STABLE is more up to date now. All BETA stuff is tested locally by the team. This is caused by a inactivity of the steam author of the LABS version
By watching your builds I can see just how bad my build are.
Lol I wish I can disappear and be home if stuck in traffic
Watched the video just for the timed traffic lights. =(
It would have certainly taken too long for an already 27 minute long video. Stay tuned!
I wish someone would get console players some of these mods instead of the b's visuals that offers zero help
