Hello everyone!
It's that time of month again and I'm dropping the Vimeo folder link for the April videos. Like always, I post everyone to YouTube, but like to provide early-access and ad-free viewing for all Patrons!

Hello everyone! The March Vimeo folder is now active and available here: https://vimeo.com/user/134212123/folder/24486765
The next Magnolia County is being uploaded right now and should be available in a moment. This is, in my opinion, one of the best builds in Magnolia County and one of the most fun one's for me so far. Having the right assets makes all of the difference!

The February Vimeo link can be found here: https://vimeo.com/user/134212123/folder/24073198
The next episode of Magnolia County is in the folder, but it currently lacks title and other info. The episode is about planning a neighborhood with realistic planning considerations and, reasonably, probably could have been three videos. We do everything from make a neighborh...
Hello everyone!
Since I first created this page, I've been posting a link to each video right here on Patreon. Since that time, YT Memberships and Twitch have become a thing, and the Discord has grown considerably. As a result, I've been posting links in a variety of locations, missing some from time-to-time, and missing MANY messages through Patreon, specifically..
Because of that, I'm recognizing that I need to simplify things. To that end, I'm going to discontinue postin...
One question I get asked most in the comments is what are the essential mods for someone just starting out in Cities Skylines 2?
Today, I’m answering that by sharing my list of must-have mods for beginners. I’ll not only show you what they are but also give a quick tutorial on how to use each one, so you can hit the ground running and take your city-building skills to the next level!

By the end, I think it'll be very clear why mods are SO important in Cities Skylines 2!

Segunda Beach is on the brink of financial collapse, plagued by power shortages and strained services. In a desperate bid for economic relief, the city approves oil exploration by Drake Oil, led by industrial magnate Russ Becker. With the discovery of a massive oil field, the region gains new revenue streams, a gas power plant, and a much-needed medical clinic.
In this video, we’ll develop the oil fields, expand the city, and tackle unexpected challenges that could make or break Segun...

Magnolia County is about to get Canadian... or at least get a Canadian Football Team! That's because Bend has been offered the opportunity to host the first Canadian Football League team in the US since the league's short-lived expansion in the 1990s. The city owns the land and is planning an ambitious transit-focused development featuring a year-round stadium district with green infrastructure, a bus hub, and an expanded waterfront trail network.
To make this vision a reality, the city...

The Japan Region Pack for Cities: Skylines 2 has just been released and it’s quite a bit different than what I was expecting. Rather than having a plethora of high density assets, the pack focuses on low and mid-density properties. And this pack has one asset type that no other region pack yet has offered - low density commercial buildings. And because of what's offered, I think these assets are going to be applicable to a wide variety of builds!
This pack features 4 new zones, 231 gr...

After nearly a decade of building Palma de Fuego and bringing someone else’s vision to life, Isabella Myrtle and Raul Lopez are ready for a change. Their dream of creating a vineyard has been years in the making, and they’ve finally found the perfect spot: Uva Valley, and in particular, a stunning location just above Segunda Beach. With its ideal soil, breathtaking views, and proximity to their home in Verde Beach, it’s the perfect place to bring their vision, Segunda Vines, to life. 2024-12-04 08:32:15 +0000 UTC View Post
The Urban Promenades and Modern Architecture Content creator packs have just dropped and for the second week in a row we have new content!
If you own the ultimate edition of Cities Skylines, this means that you will have this content right away, but the aim of this video is to see if everyone else would want to pick it up.
So in this video, I'll showcase the assets, compare them to vanilla assets, show you how they fit into an existing city, and give you my unvarnished thoughts on...

Dropping a quick line to share the December folder link for Vimeo. I'd recommend subscribing to me on there to see things first, since I will sometimes drop videos in there before I post them here, since I only post here if the thumbnail is complete.
This month will have another region pack video, then mostly regular content. I'm also going to post a couple of special videos that'll be exclusive to Patrons, YouTube Members, and Twitch subs, going over my setu...
Every now and then, you need to take a mulligan - revising something that you've worked on previously to improve it because you've leveled up your skills or new assets are available.
In this episode, we're going to do just that - take a break from the story and revise our work. We'll change things as small as the angle of parking to things as large as the entire design of a tram system and all of the assets in an old neighborhood. And for a twist, all of the changes are based on YOUR fe...

While the assets are perfect for creating a UK-inspired city, this pack has something for everyone to get excited about. It includes the one thing we’ve all been asking for: more low-density homes.
But it doesn’t stop there! This pack features six zoning districts, 22 signature buildings (including a grocery store!), some of the best service buildings in the game, and 78 props that det...

Segunda Beach is on a mission to transform itself from for a quiet little coastal town into a vibrant, dense city pack with tourist attractions, hotels, and tons of transportation options.
While city leaders believe that building a passenger harbor is the quickest way to spur this kind of growth, they can't even think about major infrastructure investments until they solve the basic issues that the city has including traffic, budget issues, and rolling brown outs.

The German Region Pack for Cities Skylines 2 has just released, and though it's smaller than the French Pack, it's a great little asset pack! And while it may not have enough assets to recreate Berlin, I think it'll help you create a great little city with a distinctive German flair. But beyond that, many of the assets will be useful in a variety of builds.
In this video, we'll discuss how to get the pack, where to find the assets, we'll explore all of the assets, and then experi...

Hello and welcome to Segunda Beach, Califlorida! Located about 100 miles north of Verde Beach, this area has been relatively quiet—until now.
The city’s founders aim to create a better version of Verde Beach: an affordable, accessible community for anyone who wants to live here—something Verde Beach has struggled to remain. It’s an ambitious goal, but they’re confident it can be achieved. But before all of that, the city must be founded, and that’s what we’re doing ...
