20:38 That shot of all the suburbs is absolutely amazing. Once that top corner is filled in, it’ll be real. Also, kind of ironic that the mall built over the airport is Skyland Mall.
I noticed that as well (the Skyland Mall logo). My head canon is that it's an old airfield they redeveloped in the 70s.
If you ever want to build a small town outside of the main city area, look to Melrose in Massachusetts. Melrose has a stereotypical downtown area and some pretty nice surrounding neighborhoods.
Also, classical music is free of copyright
Or Lynn near boston
Yes, the music is no longer under copyright but the recording (the performance) IS under copyright. Look up the fair use regulations and you may find that you can use the recordings without infringement. It might require a fair use statement in the credits.
There is a site that includes non-copyrighted recordings of every classical song under the sun. @@carolnma
There is probably more parking spaces in the mall than people in the city
If the city is supposed to be near boston or hartford, then I would suggest adding a commuter rail line that ends at the city- places like Providence, Lowell, and Worcester all have an end stop for the MBTA system, and Springfield has one from New Haven and Hartford.
that’s actually a solid idea. maybe i just add some subway trains which go through the normal rail line.
sorry Ryan he responded he's not building it
Please,isnt a big old cinema house a good idea like the Castro in San Francisco?
For an airport, maybe consider a single runway design, like Portland International Jetport in Portland, Maine, with a terminal like at Manchester-Boston Regional Airport, Manchester, New Hampshire
A nice small, simple, and not soul-destroying airport
Ah Manchester airport, familiar with the place myself. Me and my friends love ripping our cars on Raymond W. Drive 👍
Greetings from Nashua
I also wanted to mention that I feel like you have a really good level of detailing. Some guys go overboard. To me you have the perfect balance
I've been with this series since the beginning. With each passing episode it seems it gets better and better. Possible idea for the Portland style old town with maybe a revolutionary war monument or museum.
Great video! I suggest you to look up Manchester, New Hampshire. One of the most underrated cities in New England.
I’ve used it as inspiration before & will definitely in the future!
My kind of episode
14:46 please connect the path to the entrance with ploppable asphalt. It's killing my OCD.
I know you from the livestream from skibbith
Swiss to
You should add a Massive American high school that serves all the "outskirt" towns of new Windsor. I think the most realistic style (for the east coast) would be to have it located nowhere near any town or settlement, near a field or a forest, basically only accessible by road.
I liked this episode. I think the mall and suburb works a lot better there.
You might like to build an in-fill suburb - where something used to be in the past and in recent years (the 90s or 00s) it's been filled in with newer housing.
It'd be more distinctive than the houses around it and add a new vibe/character to the city :)
I know you haven't even built the port yet, but something really cool would be to have 2 "ports", 1 modern one with good access to the sea for big ships, and an "old port", that is more inland in like a protected bay. You could have the old port then totally renovated into the "New Windsor Piers" project, which would basically have a large part of the "old port" renovated with modern looking buildings and tons of stuff.
You could have the new port where the airport was, and then have the "old port/ren
A good explanation would be that they built the new port as the old port's pier designs weren't suited for modern ships (like it was two small, or the water wasn't deep enough, or just because the other port became so much better.)
I have a few inspirations of this, one irl and one from the cities community.
A good Irl example would be this part of Baltimore, which is kinda close to the theme we are going for; www.google.com/maps/place/Baltimore,+MD/@39.2837742,-76.6089271,874m/data=!3m1!1e3!4m5!3m4!1s0x89c803aed6f483b7:0x44896a84223e758!8m2!3d39.2903848!4d-76.6121893
And also another example which I may have influenced, in another cities skylines video.
ua-cam.com/video/a_w9Tx3g2tg/v-deo.html
If you ever want to build a neighborhood with some verticality, Astoria, Oregon is built up the side of a large hill. Other than that, Romeo, Michigan is a stereotypical small town.
You should build a homeless camp under a overpass or something like that. P.S keep up the great work.
It's safe to say that you're probably going to build a handful of lighthouses but you should buold something like the Bicentenial Tower in Erie, Pennsylvania as a tourist attraction on one of the coastal parts of the city. Look it up and see what i mean lol
I know you said you wouldn't build a massive army base, so you should add a small old armoury or navy base. Massive bases are few and far between in Eastern Canada, but small outposts are everywhere in Canada, as holdovers from World War 1 and 2. Most are in the prairies or in far Eastern Canada.
For example, the Point Edward Naval Base in Sydney, Nova Scotia. It was used in an on-and-off basis from the 1700s until 1939, when a permanent shore installation was set up. It was shuttered in 1982.
Yo yo yo I live in New England (Massachusetts) and may I saw... WOW that’s reallllly realistic. Reminds me of like providence and Worcester. Keep up the good work x
Hey Pres. (I’m from a small town in New Hampshire.) I think you should just have a road thats really long, and only has stores, restaurants, and other stuff like that. For inspiration, look at S Willow St in Manchester, New Hampshire. (I go there every week)
Hi from Nashua #603gang
yea there’s also something like that in westport CT and i think i have a spot for it
Cool.
I think that you should start the newer suburbs with larger condo's and Avenues of gas stations
Your city could have a Mayflower monument! From the colonist time x
This can be used to make the next GTA >.< i want a canadian city in it dammit lol.
Since you said New England has lots of malls maybe you can try build a fancy one like Americana Manhasset, in long island (ua-cam.com/video/OHkpPqDO6to/v-deo.html), not really NE but quite close to it... And maybe a modern university Campus. (I feel this series misses some more modern Architecture, but that's my opinion) love your series and keep up the good work!
20:48 -- Holy shit that looks good and big!
skatemetrix that’s what she said
Since the area of the old airport is still empty you could handle it as if there was an inner city airport but got too small and too close to the city and was moved.
At former Berlin inner city airport („Berlin Tempelhof“), they kept one of the runways and made it a huge park where people do all kinds of stuff from bbq, biking, skating, kiting, ...
At former Munich airport („München Riem“) they built a fair in the shape of the terminal building and in google maps you can still see where the runways were which now is a modern tech startup park.
What I‘m trying to suggest: you could rebuild this area following the former shapes, giving the airport kind of a memorial ;)
Don't know if I've got enough space unfortunately :/
Maybe you do and I’m just stupid, but I think it would be more realistic if you added more fast food around. Like at my local mall all around the parking lot there’s places like Wendy’s, McDonald’s, Olive Garden, Taco Bell, etc.
at least there’s loads of dunkin donuts
You should do a big museum looks great btw
Pioneer village?
Chillhop would be great! Also, check out DJ Quads if you haven't already!
damn thanks for the suggestion! expect to see DJ quads very soon!!!
I feel like I make this comment on every episode featuring suburbs now ... but *man* I love the suburbs. They're like the visual mortar that holds all of the city cornerstones together. Flying around between the feature areas, you can always tell where you are by the color and character of the sprawl.
yep i know. they allow me to scale the city very effectively and efficiently.
You should add an old Dock yard full of old ships from the times of the American revolution and such.
i’m subscribed to a load of them and wanna use them so expect that
This place need historical sites
On 0.5x speed he sounds intoxicated.
probably anyone does if you slow it down that much
@@PresCities True I guess
A new england covered bridge could be cool
I really enjoy watching all of your series especially this one my personal favorite Cities Skylines series. I live in New England, in eastern CT about 45 minutes from Providence, and you have been nailing the area great! It has even inspired my own similar city. I haven't studied your map much outside for the main city I think it would be cool to see it become more rural as you spread out and maybe do some of the Industries DLC (farming, timber, mills/warehouses) in spots with little towns with urban centers around them spaced out from the main city, similar to how Putnam, CT and Killingly CT are to Providence. They both have urban-ish downtown with a rural area surrounding them and in between them and Providence.
As for how you do your videos, I think you have a great blend of timelapse(not to fast like a lot of youtubers that make you dizzy), regular building time and cinematics. The video length range is great too. As for music, what you started the series with was perfect to me seemed to fit the city really well.
I dont understand... all theses houses with the nice automn trees next to them, where did you get those? Its so much faster!
TazerHere made a really useful tutorial on how to edit houses in the asset editor and essentially pre-detail them. Check it out: ua-cam.com/video/rS9grnOSEyg/v-deo.html
The area West of Boston: Newton, Lexington, Weston, etc., are great examples of New England suburbs near major cities. For coastal inspiration, you may want to look at towns like Manchester-Essex, Newburyport, and Marblehead.
Jazz and Classical music always sounds good.
i'd imagine a bunch of old rich white people would live in new windsor. this city's too white for anything new sounding or "urban". this city would be the most exclusively bland country music, and maybe a touch of muzak. something that sounds literally like mayonnaise.
Ehh, lots of the old rich white people would've gone to the suburbs (or Florida).
@@marinary1326 from what we see in the videos, new windsor seems like nothing but streetcar suburbs and like mansions. It also seems kinda vacationy and gentrified, from what little of a downtown there is right now. So, I still think there is a considerable amount of old rich white people in new windsor, maybe not like old money, but still considerably wealthy.
@@MoolbniBrie That's kind of what new england looks like anyway, it doesn't necessarily mean it's all wealthy white people
Rural and small town New England is white as snow but urban (and suburban even) New England is fairly mixed. In my town (Nashua NH) there is a good amount of South Asians and Hispanic people
Do you have any plans for transit in the city? Maybe a system like NJ Transit or SEPTA that focuses on commuter rail? Maybe something like the Green Line in Boston? Or MBTA with a good mix of commuter rail, subways, and streetcars? It'd be cool to see some streetcars running through the suburbs
just gonna be bus unfortunately
@@PresCities Ah ok. Keep up the awesome work
19:31 haha! of course Cono amazing mall assets come after you finish the mall...
also would love to see more industries DLC areas in your city, warehouses, electronic factory, post office, etc.
not missing the airport to be honest... I bet you were able to get rid of at least 100 assets because of it + airport assets are huge file size and taxing
I know this video is old but I am having trouble placing these mall buildings. After downloading the mod the main and rear entrances are locked behind a milestone. And the mall extensions buildings are limited to only one being placed. Does anyone know why I can't use all these?
Grab the Not So Unique Buildings mod and enable the unlock all feature in find it settings
@@PresCities You da man! Thanks Pres!
On the edges of your city you should build some small rural farm communities New England has a lot of those especially in Vermont and New Hampshire.
How small do you think? Like a tiny village, or something a little larger such as Londonderry NH?
Yea if I do farms I'll look around Burlington VT
I'm late to this series but if you're taking inspiration from Halifax or any part of maritime Canada then you should try a floating museum.
explain??
Like a colonial warship turned into a step-aboard museum docked on a pier perhaps close to a tourist area of the city.
@@theamazingwhaleshark4478 like the USS Constitution?
You could make a transformed industrial district alongside a portion of the river - kinda like in Lowell and Lawrence, MA.
Or Nashua NH lol
yea planning on a real old mill at some point
When I was in Albany NY, there was a giant bakery known as Freihoffers that sells to local stores in the area. I've noticed similar things in other cities, like Binghamton. It might fit in New Windsor.
Have u ever thought of an area kinda like St. John's, Newfoundland
does it have google earth?
@@PresCities Yeah
I know you probably don't want to have to look at a lot of places on Google earth, but you should look at Spokane Washington. It has many old brick buildings and some are being remodeled, and turned into expensive condos and apartments although most of them are just sitting there because the city doesn't know what to do with them. I imagine New Windsor is probably like this too and in a position like that. I think you should add some that are being remodeled or already have been. It also has many suburbs built in the 80s that sprawl out, and New Windsor should have some too, because not all of the city can be historic neighborhoods. Also look at lake couer d lane and the Rockwood neighborhood
Also, I think New Windsor needs some more pine trees because it looks unrealistic just having colorful trees up the mountains.
i checked out spokane for the highway cutting through downtown for my aramore series but haven’t thought of using it for new windsor. will check it out when i get a chance
Cool
Actually, one more thing, you should add a old worlds fair site somewhere near downtown
As city skylines industries is out...make an industrial zone or an IT park
Love all the parks you are adding, they look great
Amazing
Can you build an amusement park or something that attracts tourists
There will be an amusement park on a rural lake a bit later in the series if all goes as planned.
Thanks
Hello! I'm new here but definitely wanted to provide my input. Your videos are very relaxing, and I'm a massive chill-hop fan. So I personally find that a perfect match. :-)
Just found you channel and I absolutely love it, I’m currently building a city called New Oxford which is kinda similar to New Windsor and that what really peeked my interest. My city is kinda if New York and Chicago became one and I’ve been looking for good mall videos to help me make the suburbs looks more varied. Definitely going to take inspection from your build.
Build a huge mega high way with 10 lanes through the city, as well as a hyper futuristic monorail, like the awesome New England city of Dubai!
Plus I like the diversification of the music, keep it going!!!! Great job
yeah do the cinematic video idea
You should add sort of a China Town but for the Irish or Scottish who moved to New Windsor. Possibly add an old castle like Fort independence I think it's called in Boston.
Add some office buildings by the mall or an office park somewhere in the city also radio stations scattered across the city and TV stations in a media complex.
Hey Pes, can you maybe add a good o'l museum? I just think something old-ish buildings and props would make a bit historical atmosphere. Btw great video, im glad that you removed the airport.
Dude this looks amazing. What map texture and theme did u use? Especially for the roads. I love it
And I completely understand the placing of the tree amount because I live in Tallahassee and here we are known for canopy roads trees and just complete tree cover over the city!
New Windsor kina reminds me of watchdogs 1. A gated community that was a lot more spread out and was mainly foot paths would fit so we'll in my opinion
You should try and use Vindswept types of music, it really helps with detailing nature or sort of mundane things.
Im from that general area on the east and i think that you should add a 70s styled suburbs with cudesacs and all that, like in the area arpund the mall like there was something there but they tore it down and built a big mall and houses. But theres always a newer neighborhood. Use the moorfield houses those are good for a 70s neighborhood
I didn't know you spoke bird
*no that's new Windsor episode **-insert name here-** SpongeBob*
Just a small thing, but the Best Buy at 12:00 and the mall entrance at 14:30 are covered by trees. Might want to get rid of those but keep the bollards.
What are those light grey/whiteish military looking housing units you place down so often?
I don't mind the music you have been using at all, but I'm up for some new anyway!
DAMN SON! this is quite a little city you built! looks awesome!
I would personally like to hear some jazz
Also that mall is a HELL for standard male lol
By far my favourite cities skylines city so far. Great job man!
YAY New Windsor got a mall and really think you tried to make it like Winston-Salem NC
As a professional level designer myself I must tell that your work on New Windsor is very good and level of detail for that kind of city is more than enough. I love that autumn style of nature and building that are not ideally clean. One thing that I would like to see is some abandoned/damaged neighborhoods. Maybe some Detroit-like fragment of downtown or some small houses at city side. I mean everything looks nice but is in same "style space". Also there are some sweet train/rail options on workshop and New Windsor needs more of them. :D I'm glad that you get rid of airpont. Im not a fan of them myself in this game. They took so much place and are visually average. noty all cities need airport. On the other hand I'm sad that you said that there are no plans for big port.
yea i have one episode on an abandoned neighborhood, but i haven’t expanded around that area since. definitely something you should see soon
You should add a upper class gated community on a hilltop
How bout building a skate park. Or bmx park
can yopu build a large suburban sprawl and a detailing uptown
Pff!! 2 series in 1 week. I do 1 video every MONTH 😂😂(😭)
You should build a old British fort in the airport that you Destroyer
you should make the 30 episode a tour around the City.
You should really try and make a summer camp ( maybe abandoned ) by a small lake
Should have just put a Walmart there that's a mall in my town lol
Maybe you could make a native American reserve.
Sorry to say but I like the mall but all the stores don’t look that realistic
I think you should make a fishing port.
Please do more nighttime cinematics they look soooo good
is newgrounds music copyrighted? Im gonna guess not
As a new englander that looks like a hella realistic mall
And all suburbs in your city are amazing
Maybe you can make a small town somewhere on the map
If I had to read all these comments, I might cry. Good on yah, Pres.
i’m doing it on my phone too. not as efficient but it works
I like what you are doing. Big like!
Yes plszz, do the cinematic video plzz
You should do Toronto Canada!
Can you put the airport somewhere else
Gotta add a hockey rink budski
@Pres. Just now thought of a realistic build you might want to try that I don't believe a skylines tuber has ever done. Make a supposed old rail line into a trail. This is a common practice here in the states and in-game a player using "Park Life" could take advantage of the nature preserve park. Thank you and as always Happy crafting to you.
A rail trail! Awesome idea!
Hi Pres.. awesome build as always.. i aim to build a PC as yours so i can be able to load all your mods and assets. Currently seems i cannot on my limited laptop. (i7, 8gb ram)
Any low cost ideas where i can source your PC parts for a cost effective win? your help will be awesome!....
Use pcpartspicker and create a parts list. Watch the prices fall over time and buy them while they're low. I recommend you get at least 16gb of RAM for Cities Skylines but other than that it's up to you. Loads of forums and subreddits out there where people can help you find exactly what you need for what you do ^^
Now this is america.
More churches? And perhaps other religious buildings, such as a city synagogue in a ‘jewish community’ area idk how you would distinguish this but just an idea
Probably a good idea ^^
