Please start thinking about trains for later! And even now they could bring more tourists in and reduce tourist cars on the streets. The vanilla monorail - train hub would be so awesome for that! You could make the two monorail lines both run into it independently, it has 2 tracks. And then the new line could go a different way than the existing one, maybe directly to the industrial area. It would replace the last monorail station before the new line branches off, so some houses would need to be destroyed but I think it's worth it
Spent the past 3 hours watching UA-cam videos and I had run out of new stuff that I wanted to watch. Thankfully, this video popped up to keep me procrastinating!
I have to say, I wasn't too sure about this series at the beginning mainly because I like Sedona so much. But now I'm fully invested and constantly look to see if a new episode has been uploaded. Btw are going to keep the name of the city or are you going to rename.
Okay_Then I absolutely agree! I wasn’t sure about the map, to start with, but now I absolutely love everything about this series! The monorails and the teams are really cool, and James integrates the parks really well in the city. It’s great (:
I learned recently that the paths people create to cut across areas like parks (rather than following predefined paths) are called "desire lines" which I thought was at least a bit interesting and thought you might like to know since you always try to figure out how to refer to them when you're creating them. ☺
Love this series! I turned on notifications too. Also hopin for a zoo soon and I was wondering if there was a way you can add a little like farm/agricultural country side somewhere too. All up to you tho haha
What you did with the monorails is good! The tram extension you've got plans is great! Keep it up and work towards getting an intercity rail connection so that not everyone has to drive to get into the city
I think adding in a neighbor area that's high class would be very nice. You can space out the zoning so the houses 'had more land' would look really nice, and also realistic rather than having all the neighborhoods in such close quarters
@17:55: don't worry about the monorail being so close to a school. My primary school (rural Auckland, NZ) had a train running a paddock away from the bottom field fence, and we'd run down to the fence and wave to the driver
You should use the maglev for long distance travel, if you end up with parts of the city that are a long way away! It looks a bit more heavy duty than the monorail so would work for that, but still keep the same idea throughout the city. Maybe eventually some transfer hubs between regional passenger trains and the maglev?
I like the monorail going around, its putting the links in before the city's built up and you'll probably end up doing it anyway. I also love how green it is.
The city is looking great! I am loving the roundabout more and more every time I see it; it's amazing! Some more trees around the tall white buildings like you did in the suburbs might help them blend a bit better.
After a while and you’ve built up more industrial zoning, you could convert Barrington into residential/commercial as it is pretty close to the current residents, and it has prime tram access.
I absolutely love these series. Can’t tell you why but I’ve watched every single one. Could you give us a zoomed out overview of the entire map, like you often did for Sedona? Would be nice to see how the city might grow in the future (:
Sometimes I'll be watching and forget you're Australian but then you'll say something with a heavy (well, noticeable) Australian accent and everything will be right with the world again
I live in a land of planned communities, strip malls and private housing tracts so watching this is really trippy for me. It's not bad by any means, just not something I see that often!
that field is perfect it's pretty much exactly what i was imagining what it should be like...it reminds me of my local park that has a playground and then some baseball fields with a bunch of paths connecting them
Having people walking across grass and natural dirt paths forming would really make the game feel lived in and also make you aware of where paths should go, I guess there would have to be some restrictions to prevent people from just walking between houses where you couldn't fit a path.
Hi James, one thing with gating the parks is it gives a better park bonus for surrounding buildings, therefore it’s always worth gating them and rating them up, even if you adjust the price to $0... city looks great 👍
You should look into getting the Real Time Mod, it might fix a lot of the traffic problems and any future transportation issues, as the Mod is based on what people do in real life from different traffic during the morning and evening, more transportation use during work days then on the weekend, and more park use on the weekend than during the work week.
The baseball field under the monorail looks awesome, but I'm not sure it would be practical to play on (wouldn't a ball hit high over left field run the risk of hitting the train cars, or bounce back onto the field?). Maybe it could slide a bit further up the road to the side, with a picnic area and small lot for visitors to the field, so the monorail line still goes over the area but wouldn't interfere?
In the US we treat our water towers like Fort Knox. We have high fences with barbed wire and lights and cameras all over them and if you get caught breaking into a water tower fence you will be arrested and possibly charged with domestic terrorism. If you start to climb up the tower you get an even longer sentence. Ever since 9/11 the US has gotten more strict. But it keeps someone from poisoning the area’s water. They do that for water towers and electric dams. In fact some dams have the local military running them.
All the trees you use are too dark. Mix in some of the standard trees, they add a more light green to your city. Also, turn seven mile beach in to a nature reserve park, not a city park.
flab we should make the sewage plant an industrial zone and expand using commercial then residential and have a new city or suburban town. This mean txo cities in txo places. it would look nice coming from you :)
'And God (ofHellfire3) said to Floah: 'Behold, for I command thee to build a highspeed monorail upon thy favoured citadel! 'And thou shalt call it FlabLev, and thy name shall be honoured throughout the land of Israel'
21:56 That's an intersting place for a baseball field, anything hit along the left foul line will hit the monorail.

More people need to upvote this so that James sees this.

I love the open field/rugby area!
Completely agree! I think it provides a nice open area near the middle of the city to break up all the buildings. A+ on that one!
I think the beach is shrinking
Global warming
Probably
Bruna Gama: No, Flabs is selling the sand to fund the city. Many people don't know this, but sand is used to make glass and cell phone screens.
Charles Anthony are u actually serious or joking? I seriously can't tell xD
Bruna Gama: It's true. Look up the commercial uses for sand.
There is a mod to change the color of buildings.
So you can make them less white.
You should have a castle with a park around it. Like the new castle added. it should be the next park

Loving this series. So happy whenever the notification comes in. Keep up the fantastic work!

I swear every new city you do gets better and better than the last. I just love your style no one else plays like you
What you did with the monorails is good! The tram extension you've got plans is great! Keep it up and work towards getting an intercity rail connection so that not everyone has to drive to get into the city
James, what happens if a kid hits a home run and hits the monorail. :D
Was thinking the same thing.
I thought that too!
Then he be the coolest kid in the neighborhood
I would definitely try to hit a monorail if I was a kid playing baseball at that school lol
I think adding in a neighbor area that's high class would be very nice. You can space out the zoning so the houses 'had more land' would look really nice, and also realistic rather than having all the neighborhoods in such close quarters
I suggest creating public transport to Barrington so workers can get to and from work without clogging up the roads.
The beach is eroding, (or the water is rising) If you've haven't noticed already.

the city especially with the trees between all the houses and other buildings looks great

I thought this was episode one and i was like: wait, what happened
love that you are allowing open spaces instead of trying to zone everything in sight.
I think that road where you changed it to a grass median (33 min in video) would be a great tram road instead! Love you Flab!
I think that roundabout/transit hub is the coolest thing you've ever built. Getting to see that up close was so awesome hahaha!!
You should make an airport. There would be a massive increase in tourists :)
I absolutely love these series. Can’t tell you why but I’ve watched every single one.

Please put sports fields like soccer and baseball by the University on the beach.
Really loving the new series on both channels 👏👏
I live in a land of planned communities, strip malls and private housing tracts so watching this is really trippy for me. It's not bad by any means, just not something I see that often!
There is a pole sticking through the monorail over the tram tracks.
The suburbs looks really nice. Great work!
that field is perfect it's pretty much exactly what i was imagining what it should be like...it reminds me of my local park that has a playground and then some baseball fields with a bunch of paths connecting them
I think extending the tram line to Cumberland by cutting that corner is a really good idea.
Also, i like the branching monorail network you set up.
Maybe turn the highways into the autobahn and make a dam?
Maybe some car parks around the busiest stations?
Can you fix the hole in the path of the field area?
Having people walking across grass and natural dirt paths forming would really make the game feel lived in and also make you aware of where paths should go, I guess there would have to be some restrictions to prevent people from just walking between houses where you couldn't fit a path.
Hi James, one thing with gating the parks is it gives a better park bonus for surrounding buildings, therefore it’s always worth gating them and rating them up, even if you adjust the price to $0... city looks great 👍

Hey James I live in northern Alberta and there are always like five baseball dimonds in a row on a little dit road with also a soccer field
What tree did you use for that open field lining at 37:09?
The baseball field under the monorail looks awesome, but I'm not sure it would be practical to play on (wouldn't a ball hit high over left field run the risk of hitting the train cars, or bounce back onto the field?). Maybe it could slide a bit further up the road to the side, with a picnic area and small lot for visitors to the field, so the monorail line still goes over the area but wouldn't interfere?
i wonder if their is a mod so you don't need crosswalks for sims to cross the road,
Why does sound from the game randomly cut out watch at 23:50
In the US we treat our water towers like Fort Knox. We have high fences with barbed wire and lights and cameras all over them and if you get caught breaking into a water tower fence you will be arrested and possibly charged with domestic terrorism.

They do that for water towers and electric dams. In fact some dams have the local military running them.
You should do maglev trains from the airport to the city center like it is in shanghai.
Is this going to be a mini series to show us about park life or are you going to turn this into a big series? Either way, I love the videos you make.
What do you think to put some kind of statue near waterfall? I think it would look cool.
24:35 that frame rate though
atur chomicz no
The industry is really close to the city. Could you move it to where thr oil is?
Bring another Sedona Episode pls
There’s a mod called “Control Building Level Up” that lets you eliminate the buildings turning white.
Love the park but add in some bathrooms! Maybe near the entrances??
When are u going to finish the Sedona series
Remember to keep trains in mind especially tracks to the center of town.
I play on the same map on a few months, how can i send to u to see my city?
Could you import more model for the industrial area, I always feel they being left out most of the time.
I kinda like the water towers overlooking the park
God dammit James I have things to do today! Between your rags to riches and this I can’t get off the couch!
This is a stupid question but how do you actually pronounce the channels name 😂😂
Flab-a-leaky 😁
Can you do more park fields things in the new suburban section. Great video :D
Do some more sports fields and open grass areas. Especially soccer fields.
2 way, 2 lane highways??? Where to find on the workshop!!
Gavin Abeele he mentions it at the beginning of the last episode I think
Where is the timelapse? 😕
What timelapse?
Flabaliki hope u always make timelapse in the beginning of the vdeos, i love it
Btw its still nice one episode 😄
Thanks james
Akhsan Fakhrurozi: I hate timelaspes.
17:47 rip the solar panel cant get eletricity
James use the maglev train for inter city things because they are very fast in real life (but I don’t know if that is what happens in the game).
When’s the next Sedona episode coming?
I have the 81 tiles mod but can't get it to work and ahhhhhh.
The monorail around the city reminds me of Jurassic Park
I love it Keep it up
i love ur videos so much bless
There is a green grass blob/spot in one of the pathways on the field. 😩
It would be super cool if you could build a bike only path that goes all the way across the city.
Add another line going from the new monorail to the amusement park sharing the name track
Geloo G the tram already goes there
Which is your favorite cricketer? One International and One Australian
I don't follow cricket at all, sorry!
More roads with trees please
All the trees you use are too dark. Mix in some of the standard trees, they add a more light green to your city.
Also, turn seven mile beach in to a nature reserve park, not a city park.
In Italy there are alot of train lines which follow the coast line and I would really like something like that 😁😁
monorails are the best! put them everywhere!
Can you get the realistic population mod. It will make the game more challenging.
Is Sedona resting in peace 😢🤔
flab we should make the sewage plant an industrial zone and expand using commercial then residential and have a new city or suburban town. This mean txo cities in txo places. it would look nice coming from you :)
Nice vid!!!
"Who cares its a school, your only there part of the day."
Please play more Software Inc.!
Need rugby posts on the rugby pitches
Tomos merivale he hasn’t downloaded the assets but he says he’s getting them at some point in the future
I'm glad as it looks odd
I love it when he says "bit"
not sexual...
This seri s should be called James fixes problems
'And God (ofHellfire3) said to Floah: 'Behold, for I command thee to build a highspeed monorail upon thy favoured citadel!
'And thou shalt call it FlabLev, and thy name shall be honoured throughout the land of Israel'
TRAMS!
A golfcourse would be perfect in the suburbs
Guess Sedona is done for
Zoo, please!
Love from India
monorail is lifeeeeeee
get the new york or american houses theme its way better than those white buildings
