Nice strategic placement of the stations with a high usage. Just got to love how they are all pouring out like ants. Once the city grows larger, the City Center would be the perfect place for the big hub.
Thanks for this video! Really helped me think about how to build a functioning citywide metro system! 35k sims and traffic is non-existent. It's so fun to just focus on zoning and neighborhood building. Couldn't have done it without this video!
Late to the party, but this is a metro-ficent episode 😄! An the pedestrian activites is so pleasing to watch, I think I'm addicted to watch them walk and take public transport 😆
Really nice explanation of metro! Clear, simple but effective and the strategy you used on deciding where to place them was also perfect! Great episode Grahtles 💙
I don't build metro unless I'm at least 50 000 population (equivalent to IRL 100 000 pop I'd say; the smallest city with a metro is 100 000 pop). I tend to wait until I have a big city area so I can build several different lines in a network, not just a vague loop. For a city like yours here, I'd still be in tram mode or monorail.
Sims want to go from residens to commercial and back. And they want to go from residens to work and back. So talking about connecting residens to residens isn’t all that relevant by it self.
Oh yes, as you know i've been looking forward to this! Always gotta love metro ^-^ I think the audio sounds very good, great job ❤ And I like the structure of your guide, asking important questions that one should think about when one tries to build a nice and successful metro/transit system ^-^ It's very good that you mention noise pollution ^-^ This is actually one of the things that i personally keep forgetting to think about when building metro/transit, so I should really take especially this tip to heart :D Very cool that you're going for a loop system here ^-^ I personally always fall into the pattern of creating the back-and-forth kind of lines, which is nice and works well, but it's always been like this for pretty much most of the cities i ever built. So I like seeing the diversity here and once again this is something that I should do in my own city, just doing it differently from what I'm so used to. Always very nice to see the happiness spreading from the stations when you create a transit line, isn't it? :D As i very frequently like to mention, i think metro (and public transit in general) hugely benefits from the Vehicles CCP, the new metro trains in there have so much more capacity than the normal ones, it's a huge difference. It turned out very very nice, that's a great metro system for this city ❤ Very much enjoyed the video! ^-^ Thank you so so much, much appreciated ❤ Looking forward to the next one ^-^ All the best, see you on discord ❤
@@SimonSmolcic-zm7qv please I’m trying to help as best as I can it should be under gameplay. I am away from my computer and I’m at work. When I get home I will take a look.
Yes but if your making enough money then it is a very efficient way to get cims from place to place and I do explain that it is very expensive and you need the budget for it.
That happens sometimes are you using mods? If so make sure it’s under ground also try replacing the station and use your up and down keys to see if it will connect. If you are familiar with Discord you could join and we could try and help you with it!
@@AutumnThe_Toaster hmmm 🤔 I did have some issues with that on the PS4 they can be very finicky and you can still use the up and down but you also have to be exactly on the space which may look offset and no worries.
Thank you for this sweet and short to the point video, good video, I never use monorail, because I didn't know how to set it up , and evertime I went on TH-cam to find out ,all the videos are 30min or a 1 hour ,and then they take so long to get to a point or it's just how they fixing what's wrong in their city, and 5 min on monorail 🚝.....WISH I FOUND YOUR VIDEOS EARLIER 😒 ,BUT FOR NOW I GONNA DO MY Monorail, because atlast someone explain it properly and under 10 min 😉😁 LONG LIVE Queen G 👸 😀 or (king / him /they / theirs) 😉😉😉😁😁😁😁😁😁
Me: starting metro at 7,000 pop when I keep going bankrupt lol
LOL Live and learn so funny
Me: Starts metro whenever bus route gets too crowded.
@simonsv9449 yeah good point
I know I’ve said this before but I wish I would’ve had your videos when I first started! Additionally this was so incredibly satisfying to watch.
Thank you so much Joy! ❤️

Once the city grows larger, the City Center would be the perfect place for the big hub.
Thanks Chris! And Definitely the city center would be great for the big hub!
Even though I am a more intermediate player, this really helped me plan metro for my city. Thank you!
Awe thanks so glad it helped! 😀

Oh man thank you so much!!! It’s comments like this that help to keep me going! Honestly 😀

Awe thanks JACS! I too love watching the cims lol!
Nice video! Metros are my jam.
Thank you Jeff!

Thank you Valley 😀
Can I just say, the thumbnail was fun and made me click not knowing who made the video and I was pleasantly surprised to see it was you! Great video!
Thanks so much yay! I will try and make more like it! So appreciated Diana!
Yay! :)
Been waiting for this one! lolz
Awe hope you liked it!
Nicely done! Thanks for the guide!
Your so welcome thank you so much!
Fantastic video, thank you!
Your welcome glad it was helpful 😃

Fair enough 😀
I needed to know the basic ways to build lines underground and link stations to them.
I could possibly do a new video on that if need be!
Actually i think that it is possible to run metro above ground without the content creator pack, but apart from that this guide is great!
Thanks so much! 😀
good guide easy to follow and to the point
Thank you Spuds!
hello, I would like to know the building/mod name of that train station connected with metro @5:00. It looks neat with the bridge on the road too
Hi I believe its the Metro Train hub from the Sunset Harbor DLC Hope this helps
@@Grahtles ahh what a shame, I only got vanilla version. Thanks for letting me know
@yoimiyasbandage117 no problem 😉
I love how the tracks end up looking like a bird :D
Wow really I didn’t even notice that 😂
@@Grahtles omg you responded 😄(I feel so happy rn)
@Grizzisnothome 😀

Great metro network :)
Thanks Acc! 😀
Hey first pic of metro was from India where I live
Yeah it will be more important now with more metro stations 🙃
Awesome! I really liked that photo! Thanks for your comment Anto!
Oh yes, as you know i've been looking forward to this!
Always gotta love metro ^-^
I think the audio sounds very good, great job ❤
And I like the structure of your guide, asking important questions that one should think about when one tries to build a nice and successful metro/transit system ^-^
It's very good that you mention noise pollution ^-^
This is actually one of the things that i personally keep forgetting to think about when building metro/transit, so I should really take especially this tip to heart :D
Very cool that you're going for a loop system here ^-^

Looking forward to the next one ^-^
All the best, see you on discord ❤
Thank you so so much No Mercy!
What a nice looking metro loop you built! Do you find metro loops are more beneficial or lines running back and forth to a central hub?
Thanks Raid! For a city this size I would say a loop is more efficient but with large cities back and forth. 😀
Thanks
👍🏻
just found your channel. There is big block writing covering what you are doing, guessing its at my end?
Maybe I’ll take a look
I start also at 7.000 with netro but i use metro overhoul mod
But i try to start build metro ať 26
Nice 👍🏻
@@SimonSmolcic-zm7qv the temperature is not a mod it’s in game in options you can change it to Celsius or Fahrenheit
@@SimonSmolcic-zm7qv Yes. In the options menu under 'Interface' there's an option to select temperature units. Hope this helps
@@SimonSmolcic-zm7qv please I’m trying to help as best as I can it should be under gameplay. I am away from my computer and I’m at work. When I get home I will take a look.
But the expenses in the expenses tab are very high for the metro!
Yes but if your making enough money then it is a very efficient way to get cims from place to place and I do explain that it is very expensive and you need the budget for it.
@@Grahtles okay
I know how to make a Metro for some reason I can't connect them for some reason I run it to another and it doesn't seem to connect 😭
That happens sometimes are you using mods? If so make sure it’s under ground also try replacing the station and use your up and down keys to see if it will connect. If you are familiar with Discord you could join and we could try and help you with it!
@@Grahtles I'm on Xbox sorry forgot to mention that the only dlc I have is the natural disasters one
@@AutumnThe_Toaster hmmm 🤔 I did have some issues with that on the PS4 they can be very finicky and you can still use the up and down but you also have to be exactly on the space which may look offset and no worries.
@@Grahtles thanks I made a new game and started from scratch it's just very hard to place
@@AutumnThe_Toaster oh ok and yes I agree with you there! 😜
is it possible to make money from public transport? i just cant make profit
Not usually it benefits your traffic and people’s happiness.
@@Grahtles ohh, ok
public transport and especially Metro increases the land value, so it increases the city's tax income.
@udishomer5852 yes 100%
Am I tripping or is this girl mila kunis listen to her voice 🤔 😅
😆😆😆
😁Me at 2000 with metro😅

Awe thanks so nice of you! So happy this was helpful. I really appreciate your kind comments!😀
hell yeah, with a few more episodes of this we'll be able to build cities in like five minutes flat ⏱️
Awe your too kind thanks so much Diamdante! 😀
