Tokyo 1:1

[magic ledge]

LMAO

TRUE

i hope they optimize the game more to save ram in the next cities skylines

[hazy heron]

oh i bet a 2022/23 engine will be so much better

[magic ledge]

yeah

2015 engine just kills my pc 😭

[hazy heron]

the game was just built for vanilla

[magic ledge]

not for modding

[hazy heron]

exactly

[magic ledge]

thats why so much ram is required, its like putting files inside of files

[hazy heron]

+assets

[magic ledge]

yeah

[hazy heron]

assets are the most ram consuming

mods made the game take longer to load + down fps

[magic ledge]

yeah

[hazy heron]

this game made me go from a 1060 to a 3070

[magic ledge]

cities skylines takes 20 gigabytes of my storage bro

[hazy heron]

i also had to upgrade storage ahaha

if you dont have enough storage, and you try and save, it can break ur game

happened to me back in like 2020

[magic ledge]

im on 3090💀

[hazy heron]

thats nice

[magic ledge]

I have 1 terabyte of SSD

[hazy heron]

same, had to upgrade to 1tb

[magic ledge]

wait

lemme check

1 tb or 2

i dont remember

[hazy heron]

well, 2tb total

my c drive or whatever got upgraded

[magic ledge]

I have 1 tb in my C:Drive

[hazy heron]

my d has 1tb too

i believe

[magic ledge]

oh shit

i have so much storage on my D:Drive

oh hell nah

[fervent escarp]

You guys upgraded your hardware just for CS?

[hazy heron]

i did yeah

[magic ledge]

why is destiny and minecraft in C:Drive

bruh

i need to move that shit

destiny takes like 20 gigs of storage for the base game itself

[hazy heron]

well, also for games such as asseto corsa and microsoft flight sim, (for the 3070) was a nice addition to graphics

also went from 1080p to 4k monitor

[magic ledge]

ok why?

I dont get that part

[hazy heron]

its so much better to play with 4k dude

so so so much better

day and night difference

[magic ledge]

i can get from 60Hz to 144Hz but like 1080 to 4k

[hazy heron]

1080 building sucked

[magic ledge]

I aint upgrading that shit

my birthday is coming up soon and I aint asking for another monitor

[hazy heron]

lmao

i have 4k and 1080 dual monitor setup

[magic ledge]

probably gonna ask for a proper microphone and a webcam

[hazy heron]

its streamer time

[magic ledge]

i have 1080 and 1080

[magic ledge]

LMAO

nah my friends always complain about my mic being shit

[hazy heron]

i have a blue yeti mic

[magic ledge]

is that shit good?

Ik the company that made it is rlly good

they have one of the best microphones

[hazy heron]

it aint too bad, i dont think i've fully optimized it but, hey its lasted now for 2 years and its good!

good quality

[magic ledge]

Im thinking of getting a USB Microphone

easy to move and setup

ykyk

[hazy heron]

yup thats what i have

[magic ledge]

lemme search it up

oh my teacher had that

during online class

[magic ledge]

ur nickname bro

[hazy heron]

?

[magic ledge]

ur known for tokyo on this server

[hazy heron]

Oh yea

But

Where did the nickname come up I’m confused about the sudden topic change

[shrewd raft]

That was a very sudden topic change LOL

I could’ve sworn discord changed your display name or smth tho cause for a while it started showing 2 different display names for you and I was very confused

[magic ledge]

btw

i have a question for you

you're using Kaminogi's roads right

how did you place the trees?

[magic ledge]

fr lmfao

just bored af

[hazy heron]

Oh I have an alt on here lmao

Here’s the roads I use

I place trees with anarchy and with planters

[magic ledge]

send me the planters pls

i cant place trees for some reason so

[hazy heron]

planters wont let you place trees, theyre just decorative items

try game anarchy

[magic ledge]

wait which mod for anarchy then

[hazy heron]

game anarchy then press alt + a or ctrl + a to activate it. itll tell you which one

[magic ledge]

nope it just tells me that i cant upgrade this roafd

[hazy heron]

you have game anarchy installed?

[magic ledge]

yeah

and network anarchy too

[hazy heron]

do you have the harmony dependency mod

[magic ledge]

yessir

[hazy heron]

do you have tree anarchy?

[magic ledge]

no

it just breaks the game

[hazy heron]

doesnt break it for me

[magic ledge]

hmm

lemme tru reopening it today

tmmrw

i eman

[hazy heron]

btw, i dont place trees directly on roads, doesnt allow me, i place it to the open area beside it, then i use move it to where i want

[gleaming remnant]

If you use BOB you can disable the vanilla tree replacement feature in the mod's options. It should let you place trees on roads then ;)

[magic ledge]

ああああ、

わかりました

もういいな😔

[hazy heron]

bob scares me.. ive always had problems with it

im honestly content with the way i place trees ahah

[magic ledge]

You're scared of BOB because of the mod, I'm scared of BOB because it's bob, we are not the same

[hazy heron]

Lmaoo

[wide topaz]

ewwo what happen in here lol

[magic ledge]

dont worry about it

[wide topaz]

[hazy heron]

(dunked on)

[tired pike]

thats not cities skylines thats real life lol

[hazy heron]

you'll never find out which one it is!!

maybe i have a drone going around tokyo.. maybe i dont

anyways, im gonna start playing again this upcoming week, so no screenshots this weekend

[tired pike]

it is very good tho

[slow epoch]

Do you only use the graphic mods which you shared at the beginning of the thread or did you change something? Loaded all of them but it doesn’t even look half as good as in the pictures

[hazy heron]

Theres specific settings to those graphic mods + a little bit of others + map theme

Graphics are so much more than simply loading up a mod

[magic ledge]

YOOOOOO

🎂

[magic ledge]

Is every1 dead here 😔

[wide topaz]

awww pat

[hazy heron]

No

Just gotta get through a bit more assignments then I’m good for the rest of the summer to build

[magic ledge]

i finally identified the road in which my house is on

[wide topaz]

yooo

[ancient socket]

[jovial needle]

lucky

I think I still have some pictures of that place

dual citizenship let me have a private tour of the country
quite nice

[hazy heron]

very nice

[hearty trail]

Beautiful structure

But i prefer the disney cars variant

[tiny rapids]

From that angle it looks like a fake eiffel tower

[jovial needle]

Who painted the eiffel tower red??

[tiny rapids]

[hazy heron]

i have finished all my assingments

back to building tokyo

(later today. Im mentally exhausted)

[ancient socket]

because it pretty much is

[magic ledge]

bro said hes back

😭

well

ig i cant rlly say anytthing

ive had a lot of majors recently

[hazy heron]

Building also takes time 😢

[wide topaz]

Its ok

[magic ledge]

eeeeeee

fe]frepgkjrepogj

i wanna die

so much stuff to do

[wide topaz]

nuuuuuuuuu

[magic ledge]

Yeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee

[magic ledge]

[hazy heron]

[magic ledge]

YAYYYY

[hazy heron]

first update: im planning on making a youtube series

[nova kayak]

holy

that looks good

[hazy heron]

thanks:)

[magic ledge]

Finally

probably 30 different people have pressured you to do tjat

[hazy heron]

maybe not pressured but definitely suggested lol

very early progress of a double stacked interchange

[magic ledge]

THATS MINAMI AZABU

WELL

AZABU JUUBAN

RIGHT?

[hazy heron]

Indeed :)

It’s also gonna be in the first video

I have a lot of ideas for the first video

It’s not going to just be voice over with me building

[wide topaz]

Niceee

[jovial needle]

So detailed

[torn nimbus]

lookin sweet as always

[hazy heron]

Thanks everyone <3

Gonna work more on it tonight

[wide topaz]

:3

[tender sphinx]

loving it

i love non-japanese people creating such awesomely detailed cities

there's something in japanese style that's kinda cool

but the amount of details and a scale of some cities is just enormous to fit in game lol

two years ago I have tried doing Fukuoka 1:1, failed miserably

got the scale wrong, and this here took my game over 25-30 minutes to load

[hazy heron]

I wouldn’t necessarily say its failed, even if the scale is a bit off everything still looks really good

[tender sphinx]

it could have been way better nowadays

if only i had the eagerness to play like back then lol

[stuck saffron]

do not tell me that is cs that is definately a drone

right?

[hazy heron]

It’s definitely cs and not my drone which I fly over Tokyo

[slow cove]

Imagine you start completely again bc of cs2 xd

[winter copper]

just a friendly reminder to NOT fly your drone in tokyo, you will get deported if they find you flying it lol

[hazy heron]

I’ll still be doing this project during cs2

[magic ledge]

YOOOO EXPOSING GOVERNMENT SECRETS

[wide topaz]

Lmao

[shrewd raft]

Makes sense there’s not gonna be anywhere near the amount of workshops stuff for CS1 in a while for CS2

[summer ore]

I just discovered this thread. Damn y'all made nice 1:1 recreation.

I also do tokyo-ish recreation but my modding skill is still very low

I tried recreating Ariake Garden Mall. This is as close as i can get.

[hazy heron]

very nice

[wide topaz]

Not bad

[raven geyser]

@hazy heron could you make a traffic time lapse?

[hazy heron]

uuhhhhh

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/476161853698080768.webp?size=48

yes.. in the future

i kinda took a break from cs, i wanna get back in, i need some motivaton

been kinda lazy

[magic ledge]

I was gonna send some cringey motivation

but

naw

[wide topaz]

i miss csl lmao, too lazy qwq

[hazy heron]

Here’s the cringey motivation

https://youtu.be/tYzMYcUty6s

[magic ledge]

W Motivation tho fr

[torn nimbus]

Breaks are needed some times, makes it more fun to come back

[stoic apex]

Hey Darkfire! Does the new patch break any of your mods? Just curious 🙂

Hopefully not. 🤞

Love your work!

[hazy heron]

time to come back tmr and build

[hazy heron]

im not sure tbh, ill see today. I really hope nothing is broken

[raven geyser]

Inspiration moment

[raven geyser]

@hazy heron

[magic ledge]

[hazy heron]

[raven geyser]

Thanks and thanks and fr

Hopefully this was funny and inspiring

[hazy heron]

it was, i dont see the point of getting upset at a meme (?)

[raven geyser]

Fr fr

[hazy heron]

why even come in the thread to comment something being goofy when its harmless?

idek man

[raven geyser]

Seems like he just hated me

[hazy heron]

😂

maybe he just had a bad day or smth. oh well. anyways i will finally start playing and recording more cs today (real)

so hopefully i will post progress photos

[raven geyser]

Yay

[magic ledge]

[raven geyser]

💀💀💀

[wide topaz]

💀

[hazy heron]

ahahah i totally havent been procrastinating

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/799361638779846706.webp?size=48

i want to get back into it but then im like hey ill play this other game, then the cycle repeats

hopefully tomorrow will be an all day grind day i need my tiny brain to really be in the mood

[wide topaz]

[hazy heron]

[magic ledge]

[raven geyser]

[magic ledge]

Fr

[hazy heron]

well shameless plug but my insta is darkfire_citiesskylines

[hazy heron]

my bad my bad

what da hell 200 upvotes hell yeah

ok FR this time im dedicating my whole day to cs

[brave swift]

bro you got a yt channel to post this stuff i'm sure it will blow up

[hazy heron]

im currently recording clips

[brave swift]

oh

[hazy heron]

:)

[brave swift]

also how does your city look so realistic?

what are your graphic settings

[hazy heron]

i use like 60 mods and 12k assets

4k resolution

[brave swift]

you must have a god pc

[hazy heron]

i upgraded it only for cs lmao

[brave swift]

oh damn

64 gigs of ram i suppose?

[hazy heron]

indeed

[brave swift]

which graphic card

[hazy heron]

without 64 the city couldnt run

3070

[brave swift]

wow

and does it feel laggy

or does it run smoothly

[hazy heron]

when building? or when i have everything to max settings to take screenshots

[brave swift]

while building

[hazy heron]

no, i get a good 20-30 fps which feels like 50fps

[brave swift]

thats great

till which district did you reach?

[hazy heron]

lemme see if i can pull up a screenshot of the whole build area

[brave swift]

sure

[hazy heron]

ive built just a little bit more than this

mostly in the top right corner

[brave swift]

oh my god

this is too good

[hazy heron]

thank you!!

[brave swift]

do you build the exact buidings?

[hazy heron]

i try to replicate and place buildings to how they are irl, ofc i cant place the exact buildings all the time (i dunno how to 3d model and that would take too much time), so i try to have it where buildings look like the ones irl and place those

theres buildings like the tokyo tower that reflect reality

[brave swift]

oh nice so you take inspiration from google street view do you?

[hazy heron]

i do yes

[brave swift]

this looks amazing!

[hazy heron]

thank you :))

[hazy heron]

it helps to build my intersections too

[brave swift]

how much time till shibuya crossing?

[hazy heron]

this was built with street view

[brave swift]

nice

it looks very realistic

[hazy heron]

thats actually a little bit away from where im building right now, but im probably going to make a episode dedicated to that surrounding area

[brave swift]

its crazy how your pc can handle both recording and building a 4k city

or do you have a 2nd pc

[hazy heron]

nah just the one pc, im also surprised how it hasnt blown up yet ahah

[brave swift]

me too lol!

do you build every single day?

[hazy heron]

recently? no. why? laziness ☹️ . Everyday i kept telling myself todays the day i can feel it and then i do something else. Now i feel too anxious to not build so im starting back up again. Summer is my one opportunity to see what i can really do with this build and youtube, and then when september hits, im back in uni

and with cities skylines 2 coming around in october, its really now or never

[brave swift]

i feel you man but now that i've found you i'll stay till the end

[hazy heron]

<3

[brave swift]

i can see how much hard work and effort you've put into this

and it wont go unnoticed

[hazy heron]

my one biggest fear is cities skylines 2 and if people wont give a shit about any of my progress because theres no more hype for cs1

[brave swift]

yes there isnt any hype left

there are two options 1- that you build this by the end of august and maybe it blows up or the 2nd option you can try this in cs 2

but then all your effort will get wasted

[hazy heron]

i think theres one big problem with early stages of paradox games- the lack of content (especially with asian content). While everything did look exceptionally well in the trailer, im not sure if ill be able to recreate japan with american styles of buildings

[hazy heron]

exactly

[brave swift]

exactly

[hazy heron]

thats the dilema rn

[brave swift]

they just wont pay enough attention to asian architecture

[hazy heron]

yeah, its the generic american style, which is why i did los angeles for 2 years

[brave swift]

you did!? thats great

where can i see it

[hazy heron]

yee:)

its all over my insta (darkfire_citiesskylines) but heres a preview of dtla

[brave swift]

you build it 1:1?

[hazy heron]

i built dtla, santa monica and the pier at 1:1

[brave swift]

wow

[hazy heron]

i can show u santa monica

[brave swift]

where?

[gleaming remnant]

pretty sure that's a real photo

[hazy heron]

right here

[hazy heron]

shhh....

[brave swift]

looks amazing

[hazy heron]

<3

im currently working on a highway junction and the surrounding area which will be in the first ep

[brave swift]

great to hear! good luck building

[hazy heron]

thank you!

ill post progress updates here

[tired pike]

Bro i think you already built my house

[magic ledge]

aaaaaaaayooo

i see you havent built my house yet

[wide topaz]

i thought this is a real pic at first damn bro

[magic ledge]

Sent you a DM on insta 😤

[kind gate]

holy cow

this is amazing

[drifting sand]

i keep thinking its google earth its incredible

[wide topaz]

Fr

[kind gate]

yeah

its all so detailed

do the cars actually move or are they props?

[wide topaz]

Mostly prop iirc

[magic ledge]

MY GUYS EXPOSING GOVERNMENT SECRETS AGAIN 💀

[hazy heron]

theres a good reason why theyre props but also shhh

[magic ledge]

Where's roppongi

[hazy heron]

thats north east of where im building

[magic ledge]

💀

I'm just up the road of azabu 😭

[hazy heron]

?

[wide topaz]

I'm government agent

[wide topaz]

Man try to dox someone

[magic ledge]

Bro is the president after his presidential term 💀

[wide topaz]

[magic ledge]

@hazy heron

[hazy heron]

I’m not building that area rn

Go more west

[wide topaz]

:0

i wonder how your city looks like if you can remake it in cs2

[hazy heron]

Ngl I’m not gonna make anything professionally like I’m doing with cs2 for a while

I’m 90% sure there’s gonna be no Japanese buildings or assets

[wide topaz]

Ofc

[hazy heron]

And the base game will probably look worse than my graphics rn

And looking at the screenshots, it does

[wide topaz]

Wait the mods community fr

20k assets first month

[hazy heron]

It took cs1 around 3-5 years to make it truly realistic and immersive

[wide topaz]

Yeah

But now because cs2 already popular even before it's release maybe it's faster now

[hazy heron]

That’s also another thing to consider

[wide topaz]

Oh what's that

[hazy heron]

The growth in community

[wide topaz]

Ahh

[hazy heron]

I’m gonna say 2 years for cs2

Base game might be fun yes, I’ll definitely play it and try it out but

I’m gonna stick with cs1

[wide topaz]

Same

[wide topaz]

Yeah it's fast

I'll wait until all building assets I have in cs1 are also in cs2 workshop XD

And then
"Aight time leave cs1"

[raven geyser]

Reminds me of Los Santos

[hazy heron]

Honestly for me I have no real incentive to switch to cs2

Besides better optimization, what will it have?

[raven geyser]

Graphics

And uh

[hazy heron]

I feel as if my graphics are already peak

[raven geyser]

Hopefully a modding community

[hazy heron]

The screenshots I’ve seen hasn’t convinced me it’s better

[raven geyser]

Hm

They basically made SimCity but rebrand

[hazy heron]

It looks like simcity 2013

[raven geyser]

Ikr

They have some features from SimCity like building extensions and then the roads

[wide topaz]

Yea

[hazy heron]

Yeah honestly

[wide topaz]

Ah

[raven geyser]

Otherwise I really hope they change vanilla vehicles

I know they are going for there wishes and dreams

But

[hazy heron]

It seems like they have

[raven geyser]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/811412360756461588/1112767116693737592/image0.gif

[wide topaz]

The vehicle seems better

[raven geyser]

The vanilla Volvo from CS I looked bwtter

[hazy heron]

Honestly I was expecting it to look like the trailer but I think that’s on me now bc what game really looks like the trailer

[raven geyser]

The state roads and Semi trucks looked weird in the trailer, But hopefully it changes.

[hazy heron]

The first trailer that came out make it seem so glamorous lmao

[raven geyser]

Fr

[wide topaz]

XD

[raven geyser]

But anyways

Can't wait for people to make videos on C:S II

They'll make it look nice somehow

[hazy heron]

I’m sorry but this doesn’t look good

Idk maybe I’m being too harsh

Ofc it’s better than cs1 vanilla

[raven geyser]

This immediately reminded me of Simcity

[hazy heron]

YEAH

the trolly roads too

Immediate recognition

[wide topaz]

i wonder what tons of dlc they will have

[hazy heron]

simcity 2013 woulda been such a banger if it had a cities skylines map with 25+ tiles

[hazy heron]

lmao that too idk if im willing to spend 100+ dollars again on a city builder

[wide topaz]

XD

Probably I will because I never actually bought any dlc in cs 1 tho

Only disaster and snowfall

[hazy heron]

some dlcs were good like after dark, mass transit

kinda needed those for some assets too

[wide topaz]

Yeah

I never use disaster but
"Damn cool bunker"

XD

[hazy heron]

disaster was fun back in 2018 or whatever

now i dont use the dlc

[wide topaz]

208 ?

Ohh

[hazy heron]

myb

[wide topaz]

XD

[hazy heron]

not really any use for the dlc now bc im not destroying shit lol

[wide topaz]

Hehe yeah

Btw
Imagine cs3
country wide map size

[hazy heron]

cs3 lmao coming out 2038

[wide topaz]

Lmao

Tbh I wonder what technology look like in that year

Maybe 4k res will be default setting fr

[hazy heron]

oh it definitely will be, or if not really close

[wide topaz]

Yeah XD

At least I'm not too old at that year :p

[hazy heron]

i will be 35

that sucks

[wide topaz]

32

Still a bit uh young imo in middle ig

[wide topaz]

We can trade with other player

[hazy heron]

Imagine if cs can do that XD

Maybe in future

[magic ledge]

Yeah tho fr

[hazy heron]

it definitely would be cool to have, but think about the design process, do they have private servers, public? How do you stop griefing, how do you manage which player gets what city, do they building together?

[magic ledge]

Co-op mode smth like that

where u can keep it public or privated

[wide topaz]

For now it's seems player do whatever they one with one tile

[magic ledge]

although server hosting will be an issue

[wide topaz]

So the region can look weird

Yeah

[magic ledge]

if cities skylines can branch out like

yk how minecraft have private server hosters

a

[hazy heron]

honestly id rather cs1 just be updated to be optimized better than a cs2

[magic ledge]

and like games like rust too i think

[wide topaz]

Like this maybe 5-6 people agree to build a city together so they have this result
33 millions pop is crazy

[hazy heron]

thats a pretty dope optimization of multiplayer

the tiles remind me of simcity4

[wide topaz]

Yeah

Also the game is smooth
Maybe for its low texture

[magic ledge]

how did they get the server hosting under control tho

[wide topaz]

But looks cool

[wide topaz]

That idk :p

[magic ledge]

CS could allow private hosting tho

that could be an option

then big server hosting companies can help people host a multiplayer for them

[wide topaz]

Yeahh

[hazy heron]

saw this from a diff server, seems like cs2 will be more limited

[magic ledge]

like how games like minecraft function

[magic ledge]

NOoOOoooooooo

[wide topaz]

Sed

[hazy heron]

looks like im staying with cs1 .-.

[wide topaz]

Yesh

I need better computer ngl

[wide topaz]

Like damn low poly cool textures

[hazy heron]

bigger build area than cs2

[magic ledge]

crazy how a mobile game can do this

the fact that simcity was able to pull off online tho is actually crazy

[hazy heron]

not at the beginning lmaoo

[magic ledge]

true

[hazy heron]

that was a shit fest

[magic ledge]

but it worked out

[hazy heron]

it did yes

[magic ledge]

[hazy heron]

which was nice

[magic ledge]

i used to play simcity alot

but i gave up

cus

yes

too much patience is required

[hazy heron]

i always loved simcity4, still do today, but simcity2013 i stopped after a year

[wide topaz]

Me when mobile game

[magic ledge]

[wide topaz]

Other city building in mobile are normal just build without real economy

Forgot when last played that

[magic ledge]

CS 2 had the same gridding system as CS 1

[hazy heron]

[wide topaz]

Lmao

[magic ledge]

yeah

[hazy heron]

yeah makes sense

[wide topaz]

Oh griddd

I thought grinding 💀

[hazy heron]

ngl the roads really meh

[magic ledge]

alot of us wanted like a filled grid system

where it wouldnt just be limited to tiny portions

yk

[wide topaz]

Yea

[hazy heron]

for me its doesnt matter i have rico and move it but i get the stance from a vanilla experience

[wide topaz]

[wide topaz]

[halcyon stag]

No one could run the trailer, only people with a 4090 lol

People with a potato could run cs 1

Have you seen the new pre order trailer?

[wide topaz]

he already saw that because he said the "first trailer" so he already watch the new trailer

[hazy heron]

Ye I talked about it

[halcyon stag]

Oh ok

[raven geyser]

@hazy heron

[hazy heron]

I’m assuming you want me to recreate these?

[woeful apex]

he got stuff on his insta if u interested

[raven geyser]

No

I wasn't even thinking of that

But I mean if you insist

[brave swift]

ik i already follow it

[hazy heron]

Wait why did you show me these 😅

[hazy heron]

Real one ☝️

[hazy heron]

Real one ☝️ 🙏

[raven geyser]

I was just showing this interchange

[hazy heron]

Quite an interesting interchange

[high cairn]

what do u do to get such good graphics?

[twilit gyro]

mods, I guess they shared their settings above

[spare finch]

This is so cool

[hazy heron]

thank you:)

[high cairn]

Im jealous

[wide topaz]

wohooo the new dev diary are out

[wide topaz]

[hazy heron]

Hm, interesting, regional exporting and trade? Simcity4 style?

[shrewd raft]

Bro I am so hype for the new diary

🙌🙌

[wide topaz]

XD

probably

[torn nimbus]

How did the new patches treat you 😄

[hazy heron]

Great! Everything is working well and fine

[tired pike]

“Would you like to buy my shit water?”

[wide topaz]

lmaooo

[torn nimbus]

Good to hear!

[eternal raptor]

Thats nice but were is the screenshot from cs?

[halcyon minnow]

That is CS

[hazy heron]

wdym

[eternal raptor]

Ohhh, thought this is a real photo so that we can compare

[hazy heron]

heres the comparison :)

angle is a lil off

[valid storm]

true, but

i mean

come on

its amazing plus i can see other details you took liberties with.

[hazy heron]

thank you!

[drifting sand]

It’s so detailed and so realistic how do you keep on going lol I’d be burnt out after just that photo

[hazy heron]

i think its about giving myself adequate breaks, because building to this level of detail is very very time consuming. But, the fact that i do have a small community which i can share my progress with, also inspires me to keep going. Im also used to doing hours upon hours of detailing as I have been doing this sort of stuff since 2019 :) I love doing it, and im currently getting the first video out via process of editing

[woeful apex]

bro ive been following your work for the past few years and its just lowkey amazing

[hazy heron]

Damn a long term supporter thanks for the kind words and the long term support!

[wide topaz]

wow

[high trellis]

As someone new here (who havent played CS for a long time) there is something that I'm curious about while watching these 1:1 builds

To what extent does this correspond to the actual Tokyo?
Like, do the buildings (at least the large / major ones) exist IRL?

[slim kindle]

im not the creator of this but recreating a city fully 1:1 is impossible becuase theres not enough specific assets in the workshop, so what builders do is put similar buildings and mixing them well to not make it look repetitive. landmakrs are obviously avaiable so theyh are usually placed

tho, ive seen people take it as far as creating the building themselves in the asset editor for their cities

[wide topaz]

next level city planning in game

[hazy heron]

Perfectly said

[high trellis]

Yeah I figured out it wouldn't be 100% the same lol
but it still looks very realistic nonetheless

When you build these cities, is the focus more on laying the road network and putting in landmark / filler buildings (ploppable? idk the right term), and less on the original C:S gameplay elements? (e.g. zoning and demand)

[valid storm]

I think most that try to make these ultra realistic cities ignore RICO, etc. @high trellis

[hazy heron]

yes, 100% :)

i never use demand

every single item is hand placed

[halcyon minnow]

most high asset players hand place every item
eg me and darkfire and palm's time

[high trellis]

Ahh ok
Thanks for the info

I really appreciate the astounding amount of dedication for creating these builds. Please keep it up🫡

[magic ledge]

you're edging closer to my house and I don't like it

[hazy heron]

https://tenor.com/view/im-coming-ben-stiller-mining-walking-here-i-come-gif-17903367

if you see me in the club

[wide topaz]

DarkFire on the way to dox someone

[ancient socket]

what buulding is this?

[hazy heron]

ill have to check homie

[zenith jay]

a donut

[hazy heron]

not exactly

[ancient socket]

close enough

[raven geyser]

A half donut

[woeful apex]

more like a third of a donut

interesting shape tho

[bronze helm]

The tokyo metropolitan area that is built up, is literally 100 miles across, from odawara to kimitsu

[bronze helm]

In sorry sewage export

Who on earth needs to buy sewage

Maybe somewhere it's used to make electricity

[wide topaz]

lmao

[nocturne otter]

What game is this

Btw how did you get all the buildings for ur 1:1 LA build? Was it all just workshop? Or was there more

[wide topaz]

Theotown

[hazy heron]

workshop + patreon

[hazy heron]

i did something

i actually edited a video

[hearty trail]

[hazy heron]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RrGhXegO1gI&ab_channel=TheDarkFireBlazes

give me feedback (if you want), be as hard as you want with the criticism, i want to improve

basically my first attempt at making an actual video

[hearty trail]

@hazy heron i love it. Id personally enjoy if the express ways at least had moving traffic but I can see why you didn't do that

[hazy heron]

ill hopefully get it working in the upcoming videos. Thanks for telling me :)

[hazy heron]

building this tonight

[hazy heron]

this took 2 hours

[hearty trail]

Just 2? Would have taken me the entire afternoon haha

[torn nimbus]

Awesome 😎

https://youtube.com/shorts/sZJ3FcVtaOo?feature=share

Did you see this?

[hazy heron]

ouu thats very cool

apparently hes doing a chinese build, very cool

its time to make my city actually functional with people living in it

the goal of today

that + work on more of the highway

[kindred halo]

Damn this recreation of tokyo looks amazing

[hazy heron]

thank you!

[kindred halo]

💯 i really do admire the way you can recreate such a big city

me, at my best, can build a city from scratch with no information about real cities but recreating a city 1:1 and making it work the way its intended is amazing

i mean i do put effort in my current city too, i think its the most effort i put in a city

[hazy heron]

thats great! Its really comes down to whether youre having fun with it! You can always try a 1:1, it def makes you a better builder in the long run

[kindred halo]

🙏

[hazy heron]

theyre movin in

[hazy heron]

this is painful

[hazy heron]

thats all for today

[hazy heron]

only took like 12 hours to build

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/420576112272343061.webp?size=64

[hearty trail]

Really cool that you took my offer and made it real :). If u have AI pathing issues you may want to try the mod Lane Controller out. U can do some crazy stuff with that mod!

[hearty trail]

God damn beautiful 😍

[kindred halo]

🔥

[hazy heron]

Does the mod take up much ram or does it eat up fps?

I remember there was tmpe but that was poorly optimized if I remember right

[hearty trail]

TMPE and Lane Controller arent even remotely alike

https://youtu.be/VE3VApmASfc

[hearty trail]

only thing that might happen, that the game doesnt load at some point cause its in BETA. but once u remove the mod the game will load again

[hazy heron]

ooo shit i never even seen this mod before thats really cool

so far theres no pathing issues ive noticed

cool mod

[hearty trail]

yep its very new

also TMPE is only as taxing as u set it up

u should be able to still use it

[hazy heron]

is there a mod that gets rid of the node and segment limitations/cap

[hearty trail]

:( no

BUT

[hazy heron]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/emojis/420576112272343061.webp?size=64

thats really the one mod i need

[hearty trail]

u can drag the road lanes away from the actual network with the Lane Controller mod

i made a drive through that way

[hazy heron]

and it helps with reducing nodes/segments?

[hearty trail]

yesnt

depends on how u use it

but yh i can see why u are going to have node issues

[hazy heron]

im not at the cap right now

not near it

but i fear for the future

[hearty trail]

i can only recommend to use NMT to remove ones u seem are not needed

[hazy heron]

is it even possible to make such a mod

[hearty trail]

atm not

[hazy heron]

damn

[hearty trail]

its hard coded :(

means its part of the game core

:C

[hazy heron]

how were other mods able to get rid of prop limit

that wasnt hard coded?

[hearty trail]

yep

[hazy heron]

damn

is there no way around hard coded

[hearty trail]

not that i know 😭

[hazy heron]

damn

@worldly latch

do u have any insights on this

[hearty trail]

mind you Cham is very busy this and coming months

so he may respond late or not at all

[hazy heron]

thats alright

[hearty trail]

[stoic apex]

he's back at it again. absolutely legendary as usual.
