Y'know Spiff, as a British Person living in Norfolk, my greatest fear is that my local council will be inspired by this video and somehow make public transport worse.
I moved in this city about a year ago and at first I thought I was crazy to pay $200 a day just to go back and fourth but the jobs here are great and taxes are basically nonexistent.
Whenever you feel depressed at the terrible state of government services in the UK, like public transport (what's that?), health care (what do you mean you don't take ride share in emergencies to the hospital?), or housing (hahahahaha), just take a quick holiday across the pond to visit your rebellious colonial relations. We put the fun in dysfunctional because working yourself to death to be proud of a nuclear arsenal is just our way!
The only reason I want to visit England is to see exactly how bad their public transport is. When I was living in Western Australia I experienced such high levels of public transport that I ended up forgetting to renew my licence for two months... At the time I was working with a guy from North London who kept mentioning how our system was almost as bad as theirs. I never really got a solid explanation of why it is so bad, WA was the best public transport experience of my life lol
hmmm.. yes but i think he misses the concerns with 15 min citys.. which is surprising considering hes the type of mind that could have conceived of citys divided in to multiple prison sectors that you cant leave with out permission... maybe spiff need to realise theres a german version of him at the WEF who sees humans as NPCs to be manipulated and has the UI to pull it off

And that's all just going one way!
In Germany, Switzerland and The Netherlands the integrated timed-transfer or pulse timetable is used to coordinate transfers from one line to another. The concept is that vehicles should arrive simultaneously at certain pulse points acting as transfer hubs. A clockface timetable has vehicles arriving/departing at consistent intervals often at frequency of an integer per hour.

Capitalism as a term was actually invented by early socialists so just using that term concedes a major point to socialists. The term implies that the system is somehow focused on capital and therefore unequal wealth distribution and exploitation when in reality what they called capitalism is really just economic individualism meaning nothing more than respecting private property. In short, 19th century socialists gave a biased name to their previously unnamed enemy.@@quincykunz3481
New Scammington is not a scam. I live there and it's great. I've been riding the train for 3 weeks straight, and I still haven't got to my location! So much to see.
Public transportation only works well in video games. It's kinda hilarious. Minus a small handful of racially homogeneous countries. Either way, it's wasteful. Middlemen can't be cost-effective.
@@r0nn7They just want to be angry about public transportation. Honestly I love now living somewhere I can use public transportation and not have to slowly get pissy at someone not knowing how to use their turn signal
:D :D In my city, I made parking at the side of the road impossible by green strips and planted very expensive parking spaces everywhere. They are always full and my citizens are always happy when I plant more.
They should make it so when routes are simply far too expensive, people will just trek the open plains and produce trails. it would be incredible to see a mass of people covering the fields
Adam Something: builds a functioning public transit system for an American city. Spiff: builds a public transit system the way an American city planner actually would.

@@HanSolo__ How far is that? 1500km or so? In the US, it takes 26 hours to go from New Orleans to Austin, a distance of around half that (822 km or so). :)
Except not taking into account delays, canceled buses (because there aren't enough operators) and having to wait for the next bus because the one that would get you to work relatively on time is so full nobody else will fit
@@HanSolo__ I'd say Poland might be a bit worse than Germany (and Germany much, much worse than all other surrounding countries) but it's still so much better than in the US.
New Scammington is not a scam! I can safely say that on my twelfth hour of travel on our wonderful train service. Edit: Very efficient construction in this city. The train ride got twice as long while I was riding it. But it's fine, I'll be at work tomorrow. Edit 2: I want to get off New Scammington's Wild Ride.
Yeah, usually Spiff just likes to focus on making obscene amounts of money while Josh is more into torturing his sims. While the idea of forcing people onto paid-for public transport is the basis of Spiff's wealth generation here, the point this time seemed more on torturing citizen rather than money.
I think it's the natural progression for all evil genius gamers to one day become Josh. I know I've been there. Sorry Sims, but if the game lets me sell the pool ladder, I'm going to sell the pool ladder.
Once again, in an attempt to create a dystopia, Spiff has accidentally created the perfect society. If it takes most of a single day just to get to work, and you have to go back home after every day of work, the highest number of days you can actually hypothetically work is 3, 2 if you still get weekends. No wonder everyone is happy, you've given everyone 4-5 days off a week! And they still have to be paid well enough to keep coming to work. Perfectly balanced!
Import coffee, but package it in Yorkshire Tea Gold boxes. But only every other tea bag has coffee grounds, since it's Britain the other half contain spicy peppers, with one guaranteed Carolina Reaper pack in every box!
you would have to ask the irish or indians how to topple that. most evil british man is just as hard if not harder to beat than most evil austrian man.
I have been suffering from a bad bout of the flu for the past week and this Vid made my day I laughed so much I thought I was going to cough out a lung or piss myself laughing truly made my week thanks for the cheering up Spiff cant wait for the next vid
Five stops over 106 km... this tram line sounds like the intercity bus route where I live (Fraser Valley, British Columbia, Canada)... except that it's all folded into a single city. Glorious! Edit: And then it became five times as glorious. This is amazing, and I can't wait to see more from Spiff and create my own urban hellscape.
New Scammington is not a scam. I love going to work on public transport, I especially love the view on the 12th hour! Just wish there where food on the tram, my kids starved to dead on the fourth day, but it's all good as me and my wife ate them and made it to the shopping district and boy did they have some good offers!
Start of the video: People will walk if it is faster to walk, so I've made the road longer. End of the video: I've added 3 days of travel time to the tram. ...shouldn't all of the citizens be expert hikers now? That highway that only circles the residential area once seems like a direct route all of a sudden.
The issue is, the route is still shorter than the highway as the game only takes into account each leg individually. So its shorter to go to the first rail station than it is to walk to the other side.
@@thespiffingbrit You know, you could have had the tram line go along the streets in the residential and commerce areas, but just not have any stops, so the people on the tram have to literally go along the streets they want to go to, but can't get off lol
"Isn't it great when you get on a train and it actually goes to its destination, instead of a replacement bus service?" As a Torontonian, I hope to experience that at least once before I die.
You have made it!!! You build a perfect mirror of the public transfer transport in Germany! It is so nice to see that your Cims now feel the same as our citizens in Germany. I feel so home :)
Everyday go to work is going to an long vacation, it not that bad , Spiff just make all the citizens Fit and Good looking . And there no Tax too , what a dream city ! Minus the food and toiletries situation I think he make the city version of mad max
When I see this, I think a collaboration between Let´s Game it out´s Josh and Spiff would be absolute nightmare material planing the most unefficient city xD
I'm not sure how it would work, but I'd love to see a city-planning collab between LGIO, Spiff, RealCivilEngineer, and maybe RTGame and/or CallMeKevin. Maybe they each spend like 45mins-an hour starting a city and then hand it off to the next person until everyone has had played with each city and seeing the results. Bonus points if they delete as little as possible so they can all recognize the parts they "contributed" (good or bad). I remember Spiff doing something kind of like that as a promotion for (I think?) Two-Point Campus? It was a lot of fun seeing everyone's take on stuff.
I would love to see a LGIO and Spiff collab. Then again, I would love to have 30 million cats. We can't all get what we want. (Unless we kill each other)
I don't know why, but I have this image in my head of Spiff having died, finding himself standing before the Pearly Gates, seeing a sign saying "yes, we do judge you for sins committed in video games", and just being like "shit"
Beautiful! Spiff should be Prime minister of England and RTgame Ireland. Imagine the infrastructural improvement and quality of life changes they'd bring the UK!
If I had to live in New Scammington: I'd open a Restaurant/Grocery shop and live out of it or, due the high level of education, have a job in which I could easily work from home. I'd have a gym membership so I could wash-up there. As long as I can avoid being taxed, you better believe I'd be there.
I have one of the Sim City games, I haven't played it in a while so I can't remember which one it is. Anyways, I always play on Sandbox Mode as when I play in Career Mode I end up being bankrupted after only a short time. I never thought about doing an evil city until I watched this; LMAO (HYSTERICALLY). I have built disastrous roller coasters that no one dares to ride in Planet Coaster and RCT but this is something I might have to try. Well worth a subscription. Oh and lose the fake British accent, we all know you're from Kansas............
I have watched many of your balance and fair gameplay videos, but Spiff, good Sir, this, this right here is your monsterpiece, the bar is now in the stratosphere, how will you now beat this. I await your next genius/diabolical fair and balanced gameplay monstrosity.
Totally not a scam, think about it. You can probably pack a sleeping bag and sleep in that tram. Play games too. How kind of our city designer to let us use electrical sockets on the tram. Think about it this way... $50 for a three night stay is a fantastic deal.
New scammington aint no scam! I mean, if i only had to work 4 hours a day because my transportation took up a majority of my day, and no taxes, and all i have to pay for is some tickets? Sign me up!
Sees first tram switch-back section: "Okay, that's not quite what I expected to see when Lord Spiff mentioned adding a longer tram line." Sees Final tram switch-back: "Now *THIS* is what I was expecting! A tram line that looks like the demon spawn sprogling of Yorkshire Tea Gold and the Nazca Lines. At least the city's residents can get a wonderful close-up of the glory of Phallicus Island."
well, very nce. No human being would ever live in Megalopolis, but I assume all of the green partiers, of course, as individual transport is nearly prohibited and public transport is not creating any pollution at all. What a paradise for them to live! I enjoyed your video a lot, thank you. And try italian coffee
Oh you're the guy that can run an actual city of 40k without a slideshow ! Man all the parked cars EVRYWHERE is triggering me so hard, why does every street need to have parking spots in this game? Immersion is so hard for colossal order to get right.

The term implies that the system is somehow focused on capital and therefore unequal wealth distribution and exploitation when in reality what they called capitalism is really just economic individualism meaning nothing more than respecting private property. In short, 19th century socialists gave a biased name to their previously unnamed enemy.@@quincykunz3481

New Scammington is not a scam. I live there and it's great. I've been riding the train for 3 weeks straight, and I still haven't got to my location! So much to see.
Fair taxes
Plenty of public transportation
High level of education
A lot of jobs
Truly a paradise
All this town needs is a remote economy surge!
Public transportation only works well in video games. It's kinda hilarious. Minus a small handful of racially homogeneous countries. Either way, it's wasteful. Middlemen can't be cost-effective.
@@elimgarak1127 its pretty decent where i live
@@elimgarak1127 What does race have to do with public transport???
@@r0nn7They just want to be angry about public transportation. Honestly I love now living somewhere I can use public transportation and not have to slowly get pissy at someone not knowing how to use their turn signal
:D :D In my city, I made parking at the side of the road impossible by green strips and planted very expensive parking spaces everywhere. They are always full and my citizens are always happy when I plant more.
One's weekend is spent traveling to and from work. How balanced. If I lived in your city, Spiff, I'd start an urban war.
They should make it so when routes are simply far too expensive, people will just trek the open plains and produce trails. it would be incredible to see a mass of people covering the fields
not gonna lie, that would be awesome
What is this, Tropico? Oh well it can't be, since there's no beaches, no starting cities on islands, nor tropical climates and themed maps.
This isn't Foundation
Adam Something: builds a functioning public transit system for an American city.
Spiff: builds a public transit system the way an American city planner actually would.
Lol. I Just Watched that video
Adam Something: I'm going to add tons of public transport, so that people won't use cars to drive around the city. Also I broke the game due to the sheer amount of public transport I have in my city.

@@Ryann9 If anything that outcome should've taught that dogmatic Czech that his jihad against cars and tourists won't work, but he shows no signs of realising even the absolute basics of transportation.
It's worrying how many people believe in carless fairytales.

@@toxicatto6074 Jihad, holy war, like when they remove parking spaces, make roads difficult and argue it also works to spend 3-5 hours a day every working day getting to work instead of driving 30-60 minutes.
I am in awe of your ability to create a travelling hellscape beyond all comprehension. I couldn't even begin to imagine creating this level of chaos. Well done, sir. Well done.
The only catch? It's a city designed by me!
Nope. Nope. Not a chance. I'd probably be locked in some cubicle, or somehow watch some timeline shenanigans happen as a quicksave somehow resets my work day, so I gotta keep working.
NEW SCAMMINGTON IS NOT A SCAM.
My dream city
20:48 "Just 17 hours and 50 minutes later, you arrive at your destination."
Spiff has successfully recreated American mass transit. Well played :D
It would take over 8 hours to travel from my small town in northern Poland to travel one way to the city of Slough.
@@HanSolo__ How far is that? 1500km or so? In the US, it takes 26 hours to go from New Orleans to Austin, a distance of around half that (822 km or so). :)
Except not taking into account delays, canceled buses (because there aren't enough operators) and having to wait for the next bus because the one that would get you to work relatively on time is so full nobody else will fit
@@HanSolo__ I'd say Poland might be a bit worse than Germany (and Germany much, much worse than all other surrounding countries) but it's still so much better than in the US.
It's cute when euros compare their tiny little cities with a massive country with almost 400 million people
New Scammington is not a scam! I can safely say that on my twelfth hour of travel on our wonderful train service.
Edit: Very efficient construction in this city. The train ride got twice as long while I was riding it. But it's fine, I'll be at work tomorrow.
Edit 2: I want to get off New Scammington's Wild Ride.
Think of it as a staycation. :V
I'm scared the next generation of city planners will be inspired by this
Spiff, You're the Evil Genius we all wish we could be! You need to add a white cat being stroked into your video's
Oh wow can't believe he perfectly recreated Wrocław's entire tram system in such a short amount of time.
I was just thinking to myself, "if our city council sees that, we're even more fucked"
Every video he gets a little closer to becoming Josh with Let's Game It Out. A Spiff and Josh collab might break the universe.
Spiff and a LGIO collab is something this world needs
I was about to comment the same thing. The torture Spiff was inflicting felt very Josh-like.
Yeah, usually Spiff just likes to focus on making obscene amounts of money while Josh is more into torturing his sims. While the idea of forcing people onto paid-for public transport is the basis of Spiff's wealth generation here, the point this time seemed more on torturing citizen rather than money.
I think it's the natural progression for all evil genius gamers to one day become Josh. I know I've been there. Sorry Sims, but if the game lets me sell the pool ladder, I'm going to sell the pool ladder.
Ooh add callmekevin in there for maximum chaos
Once again, in an attempt to create a dystopia, Spiff has accidentally created the perfect society. If it takes most of a single day just to get to work, and you have to go back home after every day of work, the highest number of days you can actually hypothetically work is 3, 2 if you still get weekends. No wonder everyone is happy, you've given everyone 4-5 days off a week! And they still have to be paid well enough to keep coming to work. Perfectly balanced!
You're not the most evil british man alive Spiff. You don't import coffee.
That would be me
American here, this made me giggle. 😅
Import coffee, but package it in Yorkshire Tea Gold boxes. But only every other tea bag has coffee grounds, since it's Britain the other half contain spicy peppers, with one guaranteed Carolina Reaper pack in every box!
Has Spiff ever addressed the fact that JackSepticEye sells coffee? It must have come up at some point but I must have missed it!
you would have to ask the irish or indians how to topple that. most evil british man is just as hard if not harder to beat than most evil austrian man.
With this tram track I can't help to get the feeling, spif has had gotten a lesson from our "Deutsche Bahn". 😅
I have been suffering from a bad bout of the flu for the past week and this Vid made my day I laughed so much I thought I was going to cough out a lung or piss myself laughing truly made my week thanks for the cheering up Spiff cant wait for the next vid
Five stops over 106 km... this tram line sounds like the intercity bus route where I live (Fraser Valley, British Columbia, Canada)... except that it's all folded into a single city. Glorious!
Edit: And then it became five times as glorious. This is amazing, and I can't wait to see more from Spiff and create my own urban hellscape.
Abbotsford to Aldergrove, Aldergrove to Langley, Langley to Surrey Central, then you can finally hop a Skytrain 😂
As the city just dissolves into Metro 2033, as the entire population, effectively, lives in the subway cars
New Scammington is not a scam. I love going to work on public transport, I especially love the view on the 12th hour!
Just wish there where food on the tram, my kids starved to dead on the fourth day, but it's all good as me and my wife ate them and made it to the shopping district and boy did they have some good offers!
The fact that the train network wasn't called "the scam tram" is an absolute travesty.
You can always place more tram stations at your line for more money
No wonder his townspeople are so happy, he just transformed their home into a summer home
Start of the video: People will walk if it is faster to walk, so I've made the road longer.
End of the video: I've added 3 days of travel time to the tram.
...shouldn't all of the citizens be expert hikers now? That highway that only circles the residential area once seems like a direct route all of a sudden.
i think there is a maximum distance for how long a citizen will walk
The issue is, the route is still shorter than the highway as the game only takes into account each leg individually. So its shorter to go to the first rail station than it is to walk to the other side.
@@NightLexic correct! All of the legs are calculated independently allowing for our exploit
@@thespiffingbrit You know, you could have had the tram line go along the streets in the residential and commerce areas, but just not have any stops, so the people on the tram have to literally go along the streets they want to go to, but can't get off lol
"Isn't it great when you get on a train and it actually goes to its destination, instead of a replacement bus service?" As a Torontonian, I hope to experience that at least once before I die.
You have made it!!! You build a perfect mirror of the public transfer transport in Germany! It is so nice to see that your Cims now feel the same as our citizens in Germany. I feel so home :)
Everyday go to work is going to an long vacation, it not that bad , Spiff just make all the citizens Fit and Good looking . And there no Tax too , what a dream city ! Minus the food and toiletries situation I think he make the city version of mad max
When I see this, I think a collaboration between Let´s Game it out´s Josh and Spiff would be absolute nightmare material planing the most unefficient city xD
I'm not sure how it would work, but I'd love to see a city-planning collab between LGIO, Spiff, RealCivilEngineer, and maybe RTGame and/or CallMeKevin.
Maybe they each spend like 45mins-an hour starting a city and then hand it off to the next person until everyone has had played with each city and seeing the results. Bonus points if they delete as little as possible so they can all recognize the parts they "contributed" (good or bad).
I remember Spiff doing something kind of like that as a promotion for (I think?) Two-Point Campus? It was a lot of fun seeing everyone's take on stuff.
I would love to see a LGIO and Spiff collab. Then again, I would love to have 30 million cats. We can't all get what we want. (Unless we kill each other)
Unefficient?
Spiff's city actually makes a fair amount of money
Travis sat and shows how grateful he is on the city’s very efficient and amazing transportation, the greatest city indeed.
I don't know why, but I have this image in my head of Spiff having died, finding himself standing before the Pearly Gates, seeing a sign saying "yes, we do judge you for sins committed in video games", and just being like "shit"
let´s game it out watching from afar 😶😶
Along with the hordes of Rimworld players...
2:12 ''There are just currently a few issues with my design''.... Just a few? Are you sure? lol
Beautiful! Spiff should be Prime minister of England and RTgame Ireland. Imagine the infrastructural improvement and quality of life changes they'd bring the UK!
New Scamington is not a scam, I love only having to work 2 days a week
If we truly live in a simulation, I just hope I don't end up in the one created by spiff 😅
So long as you don’t mention the Boston Tea Party you’ll be ok…..probably
I think you just explained a lot actually.
If I had to live in New Scammington: I'd open a Restaurant/Grocery shop and live out of it or, due the high level of education, have a job in which I could easily work from home. I'd have a gym membership so I could wash-up there. As long as I can avoid being taxed, you better believe I'd be there.
I have one of the Sim City games, I haven't played it in a while so I can't remember which one it is. Anyways, I always play on Sandbox Mode as when I play in Career Mode I end up being bankrupted after only a short time. I never thought about doing an evil city until I watched this; LMAO (HYSTERICALLY).
I have built disastrous roller coasters that no one dares to ride in Planet Coaster and RCT but this is something I might have to try.
Well worth a subscription.
Oh and lose the fake British accent, we all know you're from Kansas............
I have watched many of your balance and fair gameplay videos, but Spiff, good Sir, this, this right here is your monsterpiece, the bar is now in the stratosphere, how will you now beat this. I await your next genius/diabolical fair and balanced gameplay monstrosity.
Totally not a scam living in New Scammington. 11/10 city. Would live here.
Totally not a scam, think about it. You can probably pack a sleeping bag and sleep in that tram. Play games too. How kind of our city designer to let us use electrical sockets on the tram.
Think about it this way... $50 for a three night stay is a fantastic deal.
At first i was horrified and afraid that Spiff had snapped totally... then shrugged as i remembered he did that years ago
Hands down the funniest, meanest yet most ingeniously profitable CS2 city I’ve seen yet. Gives Let’s Game It Out a run for its money.
16:55 Deutsche Bahn (German Railways): Allow me to introduce myself
New scammington aint no scam! I mean, if i only had to work 4 hours a day because my transportation took up a majority of my day, and no taxes, and all i have to pay for is some tickets? Sign me up!
Sees first tram switch-back section: "Okay, that's not quite what I expected to see when Lord Spiff mentioned adding a longer tram line."
Sees Final tram switch-back: "Now *THIS* is what I was expecting! A tram line that looks like the demon spawn sprogling of Yorkshire Tea Gold and the Nazca Lines. At least the city's residents can get a wonderful close-up of the glory of Phallicus Island."
Every time Spiff starts cutting down trees for Timber, I get flashback to the Prison Architect video where I first discovered him.
I effing love your builds. Would this by chance be Professor Moriarty? How about a city with residential, industrial and cemeteries
Watching Spiff's videos, I have come to the conclusion that he is actually the devil himself, experimenting with new levels of Hell to create.
Spending 15 hours in a tiny hot box sounds unrealistic.
Surely 30 seconds is the norm. Isn't it?
“Perfectly balanced… …as all things should be…”
i feel like someone, someday, will make a horror game about this.
😂😂😂 wow spiff…looks like plenty of opportunities to recreate the Boston tea party while on that Tram ride! 🇺🇸
well, very nce. No human being would ever live in Megalopolis, but I assume all of the green partiers, of course, as individual transport is nearly prohibited and public transport is not creating any pollution at all. What a paradise for them to live!
I enjoyed your video a lot, thank you. And try italian coffee
Oh you're the guy that can run an actual city of 40k without a slideshow ! Man all the parked cars EVRYWHERE is triggering me so hard, why does every street need to have parking spots in this game? Immersion is so hard for colossal order to get right.
"If enough people say it, it becomes the truth." - The Spiffing Brit
If only you knew how true that quote is here in the US. We're destroying ourselves.
Yep, it's bloody terrifying watching it from the outside...
Ol' W, said something to the effect of "in my line of work, you have to say something again and again to get people to believe you." It's an old trick, boosted these days by meme culture and corporate controlled censorship. But the truth is the truth. Sticking feathers up your butt does not make you a chicken. The Emperor has no clothes, regardless of what the citizens are prompted to say.
Hamsters and rangers everywhere, REJOICE!
I want more cities design by spiff, it just works
I really liked the part where it was perfectly balanced!
My favorite was when he said "It's Spiffin' time!" and then proceeded to Spiff all over everything.
Oh man, you've given Rishi Sunak his greatest plan for HS2 now. Thanks Spiffing Brit, sons crying now.
It'd be cool if the AI was smart enough to recognise it's quicker just to walk over the grassland, evetually creating visible mud paths.
This is truly the city of all time
We need a Lets Game It Out colaboration.
Don't know what game, but the most exploitable, suffering inducing sim you can find.
I agree with this. The chaos will flow!
New Scammington could genuinely be Cambridge!
Emphasis on Academia ✅
Active hostility towards cars ✅
Overcomplicated public transport links with exponentially increasing prices ✅
Terrible Parks ✅
Scammington is pretty great to live. Taxes are very low. My one complaint is how long it takes me to get to work.
When The Spiffing Brit uploads, its a great day!
I mean the british did travel halfway acrross the globe for some spices. So a 15 hour drive to a park seems reasonable
& then they dont even use any of them...
I can imagine a man telling his wife and kids that he is going to work, arrives 4 months late to his only day of work of the year, works 8 hours and then spends another 4 months returning to his house, just to find all their family dead because they had nothing to eat, since it takes 8 months to do the shopping 😂😂😂
Spiff you've outdone yourself. This is a step up on the parkageddon from CS1
I love the Wii Menu music in the background. Really suits the unhinged chaos vibe
So the only way to have any chance to make money in this city is either having over 194$/day or to be a conductor XD
