James, for the parks, can you download the water canals parks? They are parks which you can "connect" to form fake rivers and fits perfectly with European cities. Please use it because I started using it and am in love with it in building my downtown area.
+ROYALHeiny First of all, the theme is generic buildings although the names are American-inspired. Secondly, the canals will make the entertainment district look more fancy since like Las Vegas, they have like a fake Eiffel Tower.
I cannot TELL you how much more I enjoy these videos now that you time lapse through a lot of the interchanges and road fiddling etc. They were good before, but now they are simply awesome!
Loving the brief timelaspe in this! Can I request that you have more in this series, ideally at least one per video, where you spend time beautifying the city, such as building a nice-looking interchange like this, or putting down assets like bushes/trees/flowers or making flowing streets? If you haven't seen Fluxtrance's videos on this game, something similar to that but in beautiful James Turner style
Just some feed back, I really like that you did the time laps when you built the highway. I like seeing how you create those, but also know it takes up so much time in your videos that it is nice to see it!
Just a curious question not related to this specific playtime, but also for SimSupply. Do you ever not film but find yourself commenting anyways or do you just film everything to maybe make a later video??
James I just had to say that your city is so beautiful! I'm someone that is obsessive about aesthetics, I have spent my life playing design-type games and I'm astounded by how amazing your city looks!!! There's some magical feature that you have with this game, I'm still trying to figure it out :P Thanks for all you do! :)
I think the main problem with the forestry district is that like the farming industry, it requires a large number of uneducated workers. Even though you don't have full coverage for schools, try using the 'School's Out' policy on some of your smaller suburbs, to stop people from going to school, making them go work instead.
Dear Flabs - DEAR GOD THE SPEED-BUILDING-THE-HIGHWAY WAS SO SO SO MUCH BETTER!!! Maybe you could always do speed builds of highways, then if anyone wants to see you narrating the building the highways you could upload that as a separate video alongside the normal one. I find them really tedious to watch sometimes and some of your videos end up being purely you messing about with roads so you know those videos get views anyway. Please do that more often? I loved it :D
(43:20) I'd put an interchange going off of the main highway in the bottom left, and down the cliff to even out the traffic flow to Flabhattan and the "Summit Park" district :)
When you get the Eden Project, you should use that mini mountain in the oil island and turn it to a small highrise district with no pollution (thanks to Eden) above the oil fields
that looks like an efficient interchange and it took you 45 minutes! Loving Jamestown so far =) Are you planning to use subways in Flabhattan or in your more downtown part of the city?
it would be cool if you made like a "boardwalk" Of elevated pedestrian paths going on the edge of the river near the entertainment area. Also, since the land is almost level with the water, you should make canals near summit park like you did with your first city!
You should get the new Modular Through Station by BadPeanut from the workshop! It is a true transport hub with train, bus and metro. Although you won't need it yet, it could be nice to have at a later stage.
There are mods and themes that allow you to make British suburb buildings. I feel you should make a little suburb of them. (Keralis uses the British buildings in his current series if you need references)
Flabaliki you should make an area where there is beaches use the trees that look like coconut trees on the roads, call it Palm beach square and do a little bit of high density housing so it would look like Miami I guess and keep up the good work love ur vids👏
Flabs those signs above the logging district mean they don't have enough places to export (zone more commercial!) not that they don't have enough workers
Maybe make a China-town like entertainment or restaurant district. And make the roads lined with the pink trees like in China. And get stuff off the steam workshop
i know you do grind your hardest for the channel dude and i love that but please upload these videos more regularly because all of us really love this series tats you have going on. ablosutley crave your content bro
You could get a mod where the special industry and low tech industry hire more well educated citizens. Might not be a big help now, but once the city gets bigger, it could.
+Flabaliki, or anyone really, I have a game in the same map (Delta Range) and my city has 2 industrial districts, there's a farming district, as big as yours, and a medium oil industry center. None of them seem to be using the cargo stations I placed there. Why is this happening? I did connect them in the outside train line. Pls help, thx. :)
Instead of sparsely placing schools and hoping that people from certain areas don't go, you should place a decent amount of schools and just institute the 'School's Out' policy in the districts that you want to remain predominately undereducated (i.e. the farming district, low density suburbs.)
Hey James, think you could download some American train assets (freight or passenger)? They look great and give your American viewers and subs something to relate to!
I think why the yee doing U-turns at the beginning of the video is because when they come up the ramp they cannot go straight, don't know why they would do that but maybe thats why?
I really do enjoy watching time lapses of the more tedious builds.
Me, too.
Doesn't everyone
He should do the vid like Flux
The music at 11:20 is fabulous. Really calming.
James, could you name the dam "Flabsterdam" or build a little town by it and call it that
Amsterdam is big for dutch standerds.
i suppose it is, but I thought it sounded funny
Combine with another users idea and you have a place with canals and call it Flabsterdam
James, for the parks, can you download the water canals parks? They are parks which you can "connect" to form fake rivers and fits perfectly with European cities. Please use it because I started using it and am in love with it in building my downtown area.
+Izaatz This is a american city.
+ROYALHeiny I know but the rivers look really good especially for the Flabs Vegas district.
Izaatz But this city is american, there is no canals in america :| Keep it realistic bro
+ROYALHeiny First of all, the theme is generic buildings although the names are American-inspired. Secondly, the canals will make the entertainment district look more fancy since like Las Vegas, they have like a fake Eiffel Tower.
Izaatz oh OKAY!
Use the sprinter trains for short connections, they are dutch and these are used for small conections in the netherlands
Ja!
Goed idee 👍🏻
+Sjaak Verschragen zijn wel altijd te laat
+Jarmo Steenhuis true dat
I'd love it if he could download some American freight train assets. Those look awesome and give his American audience something to relate to!
I loved the sped up version of you building the interchange!!
You should put Schools out policy on the new residential area (Beachwood Hills). It would help the forestry near by!
Name a district Flab Francisco
Flab Flabsico 😂😂
+rikerd16 Holy shiy you deserve top comment so badly!

Just started watching your cities skyline episodes and I love your commentary!
Just a curious question not related to this specific playtime, but also for SimSupply. Do you ever not film but find yourself commenting anyways or do you just film everything to maybe make a later video??
Helen AKA Thedollyworlduniverse SssrAdsafattr
It took me five episodes to realise that the vehicles drive on the wrong side of the road
*Correct side of the road.
Cole Lester ok ok it's left side of the road neither side is right or wrong
I'm so glad you included the building of the intersection, I love watching infrastructurey things
you litterally nailed that part with the palm trees going straight through the train line.
I would never have been able to fix that :D
Rename the hydroelectric dam to Flabaleaky.
James the last video you posted on this was last year. KEEP A CONSISTENT SCHEDULE MAN!
-_-
Lol true
+Matthew Leonard I just fell for that, I'm so ashamed of myself hahaha ffs
it took him a fkin year to upload XD
I see what you did there lol
Call Ivy park for "Not my Park"
James I just had to say that your city is so beautiful!

There's some magical feature that you have with this game, I'm still trying to figure it out :P Thanks for all you do! :)
Wow, Nice timing by me. Just what needed after a hard leg work out! I'm addicted to ur cities skylies series. Keep them coming
Gotta wait for that HD...
Watching this exactly one year later... Was a little weird to hear "Brand new year - 2016" :D
Same lol
Instead of an Oil district make it a high density island
James, how did you get your name "Flabaliki"? Also, hope your having fun in this Aussie heatwave.
Made it up as a 10 year old. It's been raining for the last couple days, hardly a heatwave xD
Flabaliki Really? ITS SO HOT IN MELBOURNE. THAT IS NOT FAIR.
+Gh0stSheet9 Some Guy On Steam It's been raining in Canberra too, very welcome change from the heat :)
+vojtar111 Finland before 2016 "wow its really warm its like 0 degrees" > Finland after 2016 "omg its like 30 degrees freezing to death"
+Gh0stSheet9 same on the gold Coast

FlabbyWood lol!
+StarScope Gaming im dead serious, there's a place by me called flabbywood. lmao :)))))
Plumbobz 4Life lol
It's so awesome that you read most of the comments James!! xD
Flab's my man at the start of video cars doing u tune is a Bloody great fire.
Flabs, this build is looking so good. Feeling inspired to get C:S running!
The industry wants educated worker.
Dear Flabs - DEAR GOD THE SPEED-BUILDING-THE-HIGHWAY WAS SO SO SO MUCH BETTER!!! Maybe you could always do speed builds of highways, then if anyone wants to see you narrating the building the highways you could upload that as a separate video alongside the normal one.

I loved it :D
get the underground powerlines mod
Use bike paths and build a passenger port in Flab Vegas.
call the oil island oiland!!!!!!
That highway interchange was beautiful
(43:20) I'd put an interchange going off of the main highway in the bottom left, and down the cliff to even out the traffic flow to Flabhattan and the "Summit Park" district :)
Hey Flabs, you have European buildings in FlabHattan. Also you should get the tree rotation mod. :D
Im i the only one that cant see he´s mouse?
His mouse is very small, that might be why... He also moves it VERY fast!
I can see it 😀
+BroTheGam3r LIESSSS
40:26 is a goodish place to see it, but if you look out for it, you will easily find it
+Laurits Bøje i Think it was gone in the beginning of the video but appeared later, some sort of weird recording bug probably.
a sweet waterfront park mod along the river in Vegas would look boss
So many people are suggesting names with Flab, how about you change it up and name a district Los Angaliki
can u make an *asian* district , with *cherry tree* roads n stuff ? ^^ it would be so pretty~
Some of the Pier-type parks along the river in FlabVegas would look really good :)
When you get the Eden Project, you should use that mini mountain in the oil island and turn it to a small highrise district with no pollution (thanks to Eden) above the oil fields
that looks like an efficient interchange and it took you 45 minutes! Loving Jamestown so far =)
Are you planning to use subways in Flabhattan or in your more downtown part of the city?
The sprinter light is the Dutch train, please use it!!!! It would be be so nice! And also set the color to blue (the original color)
Oh my gosh what is the music you used during the highway build? I just want listen to it for years.
Trees! I love the different trees. They look weird. It's great.
it would be cool if you made like a "boardwalk" Of elevated pedestrian paths going on the edge of the river near the entertainment area. Also, since the land is almost level with the water, you should make canals near summit park like you did with your first city!
You should get the new Modular Through Station by BadPeanut from the workshop! It is a true transport hub with train, bus and metro. Although you won't need it yet, it could be nice to have at a later stage.
thank you flab you are the top TH-camr
keep making content
please
Every bloody time you say farming district while in the logging district makes me die a little.
Keep up the great videos James!
love this series
Will you play Anno 2205 more? Perhaps make it a series?
What a beautiful interchange! :o I don't know how you get them this smooth and... sexy I'd say ;D I think it's from exercise :o
Name the "world" U.S.F. United States of Flabaliki
No it needs to be a dictatorship:)
+Peter Laing U.M.F - United Minds of Flabaliki? xd
hey flabs you should have some more tree lined palm roads in vegas
+Behind Enemy Lines yeah they are cool
I feel like Hickory Park should be renamed "Hickory Pork".
Are there any Australian trees? like get some illawara flame trees or jacarandas in the suburbs.
Remember that the demand isnt always that they need workers, it's also if your industri needs more places to sell their produce! :)
There are mods and themes that allow you to make British suburb buildings. I feel you should make a little suburb of them. (Keralis uses the British buildings in his current series if you need references)
If I was you, I wouldn't remove Traffic++
+Simen Dyrsen Good thing I am me, and you are not me, or there would be a problem :O
Dacazy Corp Chimp!!!
I have an animal related channel,,,
Can u do a tropical 5 video?
+Samuel Suarez no
what is tropical? isnt it called tropico?
yeah but he isn't gonna play it
open your search box (a stick with a ring on it (a ring is a circle with a hole in it)) type tropico 5, press enter,
there you go.
that music during the interchange build
Loving the interchange building music :D Not that Flabs like :d It was okay though :D
Finally you add the exits
Sounds like time for a revision break! Who needs maths anyway?? 😂
Flabaliki you should make an area where there is beaches use the trees that look like coconut trees on the roads, call it Palm beach square and do a little bit of high density housing so it would look like Miami I guess and keep up the good work love ur vids👏
Flabs those signs above the logging district mean they don't have enough places to export (zone more commercial!) not that they don't have enough workers
Make road construction on the highway! :D Like chop of the road and make a pit and force all trafic drive really slow on a gravelroad :D
That new suburb district should be called Flaberly Hills :)
That one park that always fits
In flab Vegas, add some steam workshop structures, like a mini Eiffel Tower, or mini Statue of Liberty just like Las Vegas
Maybe make a China-town like entertainment or restaurant district. And make the roads lined with the pink trees like in China. And get stuff off the steam workshop
+Nick TheGamer the pink trees are japanese lol.
i know you do grind your hardest for the channel dude and i love that but please upload these videos more regularly because all of us really love this series tats you have going on. ablosutley crave your content bro
He literally posts it nearly everyday. He has to cater to people who don't want to watch cities skylines too
He has 3 channels and posts on 2 of them daily
okay
Fantastic? Nay sir, it's Flabtastic.
It would be cool if occasionally you would live stream when you work on the city in between episodes!
Hey, james! Why don't you call a district Los Flabgeles?
Dearest Flabaliki, A fitting name for Beachwood Hills would be Sanctuary Hills, as a nod to Fallout 4.
You should make an amusement park and name after one of your rct 3 parks
+Fruity Tooty Like your idea i do
You could get a mod where the special industry and low tech industry hire more well educated citizens. Might not be a big help now, but once the city gets bigger, it could.
27:36 left and right twix are in his town XD
I was a little sad when the peaceful music ended :,( But all is well, I love your commentary just as much anyway
Why dont u get the zoneable pedestrian path and put a park on it
+CJT MOTORACING cuz that requires traffic plus plus
Oh didn't know that thanks :)
james, who made your intro?
TheGeeNee
+Flabaliki oh :)
+Flabaliki Tip: try spending ur recycling stations to avoid traffic, and increase efectivity
+Flabaliki, or anyone really, I have a game in the same map (Delta Range) and my
city has 2 industrial districts, there's a farming district, as big as
yours, and a medium oil industry center. None of them seem to be using
the cargo stations I placed there. Why is this happening? I did connect
them in the outside train line. Pls help, thx. :)
Jebediah Kerman Cargo takes the fastest route. Try restricting trucks on the main roads with heavy traffic ban to force Cargo to take the train.
dat funky interchange music
about time
lol
i need you to inspire me
Instead of sparsely placing schools and hoping that people from certain areas don't go, you should place a decent amount of schools and just institute the 'School's Out' policy in the districts that you want to remain predominately undereducated (i.e. the farming district, low density suburbs.)
nice interchange!
do mods like network extensions update themselves or is there something special you have to do
Flabaliki would you plz think about starting season two of basished??
you need to name a district San Flabcrisco
What was the name of the song James was playing during the interchange part?
you should do a junction on the river like with bridge's or something
James you should drive around James town
Is there any telling if the T++ mod will be updated?
+Dacazy Corp well its been like 5 months already so i doubt it
Hey James, think you could download some American train assets (freight or passenger)? They look great and give your American viewers and subs something to relate to!
+Might Heracros yeah american vehicles are cool. Also get American bus and car assets
if you going to do a high density city you should name it flabcago
+Justin Green thats what i was thinking lol
I think why the yee doing U-turns at the beginning of the video is because when they come up the ramp they cannot go straight, don't know why they would do that but maybe thats why?
