Absolutely loving this series. Springfield and Marble Mountain got me into Cities Skylines videos, so seeing a project like this come together is just beautiful. The whole Rockstar-inspired map design ethos is amazing too. You could probably base a whole GTA-style concept around this map or Marble Mountain.
Maybe the pedestrian mall could be named Eureka St? Not only because it's a reference to an Australian historical event, but the word Eureka is ancient Greek for "I found it!" which could be some reference to finding something to buy at the pedestrian mall??
Its absolutely epic when you show places on Google earth that I as an American went to during my 5 weeks in Australia. 6:27, bought a danish a pastry shop in a building off that street.
Mate! You're cities are always hyper realistic but I didn't realise how realistic exactly until you started basing one off of Sydney (and the rest of the AU/NZ cities). I can't get enough of this.
great episode, open malls are a must for every Aussie CBD. Feel a slightly more inspired to finish off my hay street and murray street inspired malls in my build
The fact that you addressed the LA comment is amazing. I loved this episode and got some good inspiration. Cant wait for more and for the return of Marble Mountain. I hope you and the family are doing well! 💙
Maybe it's just me but I feel like the skyline would benefit from a bit of 'rejuvenation'. You have some pretty cool new skyscrapers popping up all over Australia, would be nice to have some in Dundee as well. :)
15:00 Yes, a pedestrian mall doesn't need to be about shopping. A mall is a large area or public walk with trees. The more popular definition of shopping mall came from the idea of enclosing on of those. The "National Mall" in Washington is probably the most famous example of a pedestrian mall in the USA that's named that. It's lined with the Smithsonian museums and other cultural buildings.
The town hall kinda reminds me of Old Toronto City Hall in Canada, with the rose-red brick and the clock tower. Not quite Australian architecture, but fellow Commonwealth at least
Brisbane's CBD has all horizontal street names named after British Queens, and all vertical street names named after British Kings. And because of that our major pedestrian mall is called Queen Street, you could do a similar thing where you name all your CBD streets based off an idea (e.g historically significant Australians) and choose your name for the mall based off that??
Melbourne CBD has some vertical street names that do similar, the following are all in a row: King, William, Queen, Elizabeth. Easy to remember the order of those streets!
I've worked with various cities in real life to design and build pedestrian plazas here in the US, and I'm always surprised at the large opposition to taking away space from cars and people's fears about traffic and parking. This is why we can't have nice things.
I adore the Victorian aesthetic; it reminds me a lot of colonial Hong Kong, with the British-style stone buildings, but also slightly like New York too.
wow, I totally forgot I had commented that lol 6 months later, I wouldn't say that again to the overpass over a regular urban avenue, but the rest is nice!
In my town we have this crazy five-way intersection that used to be very problematic but they ended up turning one of the roadways into a park with a fountain and now it's called Hayney's corner
Re: "can i call it a pedestrian mall if there's no shopping," a mall doesn't have to be for shopping, it just means a long area for walking. The National Mall in Washington DC is a string of parks, monuments and museums.
The pedestrian malls are a perfect fit for the city. They look amazing. Also, how does it feel building a downtown with proper density instead of a hollowed-out American one?
I think a great name for the big building in between the two roads could be "Canberra Plaza", maybe referencing Australia's capital and this being the shopping "capital" of the CBD. My idea was for it to be a big fancy (and expensive) old mall
Idea for pedestrian roads to eliminate truck traffic. Download a single lane narrow ally-way road to put behind the buildings as service roads and ban truck traffic on the pedestrian paths.
definitely the hardest and most tedious part of the game is to came up with the right asset for your needs. you almost has to be a developer to come into the game with your own textures.
I'll have a look into making an Australian style awnings prop pack, i feel the same way and have been for a bit that when i'm making my Aussie city that the pedestrian walkways are too exposed. Even the majority of the Aussie buildings on the WS don't come with awnings.
A lot of street names come from historic business or industry, but if there's lots of banks, maybe something like Goldsmith's Avenue would be a cool name. Or, if Dundee has a history trading raw materials, it could be something like Ore Street.
I don’t want to be *that guy* but what does CBD mean? It makes me feel very lost and old:’)) Absolutely living for and loving this series tho! Been lurking a while, and while all your content is the bomb dot com, this is exceptionally enjoyable to watch!
1:20 I think the pedestrian bridge doesn't fit in there. The city center is build mainly for pedestrians, and this is really pedestrian unfriendly. No city with great care pedestrians does this. I love the pedestrian malls though!
In a lot of ways Australia feels just like South Africa. Many people who move from South Africa to Australia says, Australia is South Africa without all the problems.
australia needs awnings cause of the strong ass weather. Most places don't have them if they don't get a shit ton of heat/sun. Florida for example has a lot of awnings
In Sydney, it's like Pitt Street (shopping) and Martin Place (business), right? Recently George Street has been modified to the mall with tram though it had been one of the busiest (for cars) road in city.
Wunderbar, this is just my cup of tea, what a quality! Although, the width of the street crossing is itching me. Wouldn't you think an even width crossing would connect just exquisitely. I mean just look at the average Japanese city. It's a perfect opportunity, it would be a shame not to, right? What do you think?
Also mate those fountains look a bit weird because of how much they are clipping with the buildings, and they’re clipping unevenly, at that. I think you should use PO to shrink them a little so they don’t clip as much
I'm late to the party with this video, but a question. How did you convert the buildings to parks with PO? I'm trying to get my head around using this mod. Do they naturally change their function when converted? Cheers to any help.
I believe the whole awninglessness situation is due to the climate in europe and the us, where most asset creators are from and there's not much direct sunlight througout all the year so it's not that essencial to protect facades against insolation
That's kinda just for the city of Dundee. As the series progresses there will be more towns and rural areas inspired by other parts of Australia plus NZ
you have 5-lanes paths roads for cars but no large avenue for pedestrians. WHY ? WHO DID THAT GAME ? @8:10 you're duplicating a single-lane path, but they is an invisible wall between because they're 3 separate paths for the game AI. and you can't do this manualy for the whole city, because it's too much work.
As the capital of your country, your city needs government buildings like parliaments, ministries, national offices and embassies!

love this series so much

Oceania is such a promising project, i always love the realism and detail you put in the city. Cant wait to watch the city become bigger
Between Oceania and Cabrillo, I think we are seeing the best Cities Skylines series’ ever made
A very interesting CBD bro, I find adding in pedestrian areas really adds a feeling and culture to the city, love it dude!
This city is incredible man. Really loving all the details in the CBD, it captures an AUS/NZ city so amazingly!!
Awnings are Australian because they don't cope well with snow!! (They tend to break lol) Also they keep off the sun!

Could have been cool if you had trams going through the shopping district like Bourke street mall in Melbourne
Man, the digital advertising on the side of the building was such an amazing little touch.
Maybe it's just me but I feel like the skyline would benefit from a bit of 'rejuvenation'. You have some pretty cool new skyscrapers popping up all over Australia, would be nice to have some in Dundee as well. :)
It probably goes without saying, but if you're pedestrianising alot of the city, you definitely need to make an area inspired by Sydney's Chinatown.
I'm with you on the awnings - when I visited Sydney I noticed them way more there than anywhere else I've been in the world
This is so typical Aussie cities love the realism

oh yeah! midweek episode! love the series, feels very mature to all previous series. And great to learn about Australia and NZ! Thanks a lot!
The town hall kinda reminds me of Old Toronto City Hall in Canada, with the rose-red brick and the clock tower. Not quite Australian architecture, but fellow Commonwealth at least
I had the exact same thought!
Best series from 2dollaatwenty
Wow, were on episode 12 already! This series is just flying by. Keep it up!
Also, I noticed that the fourth episode was missing from the playlist.

Love the growing of the city
That blue building at around the 15 minute mark is 1801 Hollis St in Halifax NS Canada. What's its name on the store?
hello there
it's actually in the default game as a vanilla high-density commercial asset
You’re here?
my youtube worlds are coliding :0

this is what every australian city needs
Can Dundee have a sports team called the crocodiles or something please 😂
yessssss!
This👆, we need this!!
The emus
@@timothy_b03 I meant Crocodiles as in a reference to Crocodile Dundee
Your city is one of the most beautiful most important capitals of the country!
One of my favorourite episods until now
you should add the Q1 from the Gold Coast to Oceania's skyline
Every one of these videos is so lovely
i love the round Highrise!
This downtown is starting to take shape! It looks pretty now.
The pedestrian malls are a perfect fit for the city. They look amazing. Also, how does it feel building a downtown with proper density instead of a hollowed-out American one?
It feels good!
Thank you is all I need to say 👌
Great video again, keep up the good work!
For the Banks, perhaps you could add combank or St George
sooo cool 😎 really like this new series

You should add a Myers store downtown and an Australian wildlife park!
Nah mate reject shop
1:10 I feel like this is kind of redundant when there's a zebra crossing right next to it.
It seems the cims would rather use the overpass and thus cars won't have to stop resulting in better flow at the intersection
About the awnings: I think I remember seeing something about them being a way to prevent falling debris from hitting pedestrians
A lot of street names come from historic business or industry, but if there's lots of banks, maybe something like Goldsmith's Avenue would be a cool name. Or, if Dundee has a history trading raw materials, it could be something like Ore Street.

It’s a term we use in Australia for our downtowns - it means central business district. Doesn’t mean you’re old 🙂
1:20 I think the pedestrian bridge doesn't fit in there. The city center is build mainly for pedestrians, and this is really pedestrian unfriendly.
No city with great care pedestrians does this.
I love the pedestrian malls though!
You could name the shopping area after the movie The Castle - Castle Street Mall.
Have you seen the new spawn point mod? You can use it to get trucks to deliver via a rear laneway!
Love the series
In a lot of ways Australia feels just like South Africa. Many people who move from South Africa to Australia says, Australia is South Africa without all the problems.
Center point tower is iconic surprised it’s not in the skyline

Unlimited money: on
2.20: Good, we will earn some money from this mall as well!
Lol, still talking about that money lmao😂😂😂
hey, whats that you are building at 9:20?
I would love if there was some old industry district like there is in Newcastle, maybe a coal port or something like that
2$20: “Most of these buildings are from Sydney in real life”
Also 2$20 *won’t use the Sydney tower because it’s “too iconic.”
Man what happened to parkitecht I was loving that series. Please bring it back 🙏🏽
In Sydney, it's like Pitt Street (shopping) and Martin Place (business), right? Recently George Street has been modified to the mall with tram though it had been one of the busiest (for cars) road in city.
It hurts me how much better this game is with mods and that i’ll never be able to play it (other than vanilla ps4, which leaves so much to be desired)
SvenBerlin has already nice logos in his workshop.
9:21 what kind of assets (entrances?) are those?
So many episodes to watch #favoriteyoutuber
9:15 yeah, you’re a father now for sure!
Wunderbar, this is just my cup of tea, what a quality!
Although, the width of the street crossing is itching me. Wouldn't you think an even width crossing would connect just exquisitely. I mean just look at the average Japanese city. It's a perfect opportunity, it would be a shame not to, right?
What do you think?
I wanted it to be bigger too however that seemed to be the maximum width I could achieve with node controller
I think increasing the corner offset in node controller should make the crossing wider and IMT can make wider crossings too
I hope you didn't forget a Woolworths in the heart of "Townhall"?
And the Light-Rail
Also mate those fountains look a bit weird because of how much they are clipping with the buildings, and they’re clipping unevenly, at that. I think you should use PO to shrink them a little so they don’t clip as much
I agree however using PO means they no longer have the animated fountain effect
Queen Street Mall Brisvegas, very similar.
I'm late to the party with this video, but a question. How did you convert the buildings to parks with PO? I'm trying to get my head around using this mod. Do they naturally change their function when converted? Cheers to any help.

Damn man, your videos got me back into modding after 4 years break.
Check the workshop for some 80s cars that could suit Springfield :D
What are the buildings used to make city hall?
Name suggestion:
Coconut mall.
That fountain is hideous!
Will there ne some kind of Parliament Building? It’s still an entire country we’re talking here...
What do you do, so buildings dont upgrade and that way change their look?
What's the lovely music that starts around 15;00 called?
YOU COULD DO A KIND OF GOVERNMENT AREA (PARLIAMENT, CITY COUNCIL, MINISTRIES ...)
Will you ever use the urban roads mods?
what's the website where you can see Sydney before and after?
You should build a place like Rundle mall in Adelaide
I feel like Australia and NZ have very very similar architecture
Should there be gas stations/ charging stations for added realism?
Lol we're pretty behind on electric car infrastructure
Awesome series I just think you take tm inspiration from Sydney
That's kinda just for the city of Dundee. As the series progresses there will be more towns and rural areas inspired by other parts of Australia plus NZ
Mint
add federation square from melbourne on top of the train hub

"Pedestrian Mall". Here in Europe that's just called a street.
Sparks Street Mall (from Ottawa, Canada)
10:00 you should name the mall *vitoshka*
only the bulgarians will know what it is
Holy crap I’ve never been this early
