Buildings in Cities Skylines Explained! - District Styles, Ploppable RICO, Realistic Population

➤Why are some buildings "grown" and "zoned" while others are placed or "plopped"? This video will demystify the building types in Cities: Skylines, and offer some ways to manipulate them. You can now place growable buildings, or convert that unique building into a place for cims to live and work.

You’d think a channel like yours with such detailed and perfect guides would have more than 23k subs. You need more exposure, you are of the highest levels if you ask me.

Ploppable RICO Revisited doesn't get nearly the love it deserves. Great video again!

[mbrackeva]

Another great tutorial!
Tip for those interested in Realistic Population. It's better to enable it at the start of your city, or when it's still fairly small. If you activate the mod on an existing big city with dense areas, you're probably not going to enjoy yourself too much in the next few hours. It can generate so much traffic from cims moving into buildings that your roads get totally blocked. This is actually the only time I ever used the "Remove all traffic" option from TMPE.
As always, make plenty of backups when adding or changing mods!

18:10 One of my worst mistakes was allowing Bulldoze It to bulldoze historical buildings. I had a massive area of plopped residential, and then I got hit with a mega death wave that went up to 7000 deaths at one time. Can you guess what happened next?
Edit: I think I should mention that after that, I immediately installed Lifecycle Rebalanced Revisited because I didn't want another deathwave. I also turned off that option in Bulldoze It.

A thing I've noticed - for large ploppable skyscraper type buildings using the realistic population mod you can sometimes end up with problems having enough space for your ambulances/police/hearses so its good to set a few spawn points for those with building spawn points mod. I tend to have at least three that only deal with those three services so I don't have a conga line of emergency vehicles all the time.

My puppy says Hi Yumbl!

As a newcomer, this is the first channel that helps but is not showing off. It doesn't put me off from studying the game.

Building spawn points = party in the front, business in the rear

You and City Planner Plays are my go to to learn about this game…thank you very much for taking your time and effort to do these videos!

[gamingterri]

This tutorial came at the most perfect time for me... just upgraded my RAM so now I can use more districts... I had no idea I could use American Eclectic at a higher level... (I do not care for the construction zones LOL). You explained each mod very well and I understand now how they all work together. Thank you!!!

Funny timing in this one YUMBLE - right at the moment you're talking about how freight deliveries go to the back like IRL, there's a delivery van actually making a delivery.

I also love using the spawn points mod to have regular commercial zone deliveries go to the back and run a back alley parallel to the main road (usually an arterial or connecter with commercial zoned along it). so the deliveries don't clog up the main road and back up traffic. Who really cares if a few trucks or the odd passenger car gets blocked going down the back alley? But who's going to care if the busy main street gets blocked off constantly? Right?

Another awesome CS video :-)

PS: You have a really nice speaking voice, relaxed (but not to slow), explains things carefully without being a drag. Keep on going.

[Max-htvc]

This is the first vid iv watched of yours. It would seem you have a talent for doing you tube tutorials. Nice work 10 out 10

[jasiek]

TL;DR Thank you for an amazing tutorial! Wish I'd found it sooner, that's on me tho :D

I've been playing this game since basically its inception and have only just recently jumped into designing more custom cities. So far I'd been happy with what the game provides, but thought "Hey, I can make it look way nicer", and got into mods. At first, I was so bewildered by what RICO did and how to place the buildings, the buildings not working, etc., so I wanted to look for a tutorial on how to use those mods (the RICO, RealPop, etc.). And I stumbled upon your channel. And my world, your explanations are so clear, so easy to take in, even if there's a lot of info in them, and most importantly, are not boring and tiring to watch through the entirety! Remember, kids, you are never too old a player to learn something, and with YUMBL as your teacher, you're in for a great experience and info that stays in your mind.

Got to have Wegmans!

Great video Yumbltv, I’ve been so split on if I wanted to use RICO and this definitely helped!

[e-bow]

New to PC, and this is the best little video I've found. Appreciative (late to the party) subscriber here 👍

[jasonfuentz]

Man, I have had troubles with theme management the entire time I have been playing modded. It was always a crap shoot whether or not buildings would spawn. Had no idea you needed the additional mod and settings. Of course this why I love this game. Always something new to learn and do.

I don't think anyone mentioned this, but around 12:17 when you're not seeing the L1 and L2 American Eclectic buildings in Theme Manager, it isn't due to Advanced Building Level Control. It's because the buildings are under the name "Eclectic Construction" instead of "American..." so when you searched for American, of course they won't show up :) Additionally, the American Dream building is L1 so that's another way to tell. I'm positive that's less of a clarification for you than it is for anyone who might be confused about the functionality of those two mods together. Other than that, I loved this video, as I do all your videos. They're always so helpful.

[BeachLookingGuy]

Your videos always get me so excited for mods. I use most of these already but this video just got me so excited to get off work and tinker with my re-re-build of my city 😄

[Mythriak_]

Thanks Yumbl! I was really needing some explanation on this. Defnitely will be looking to use these in my next build.

[jamessoy]

Found this at the right time. I want to start a city and create it with ploppables. Thanks for sharing.
