Love your 60 second tip series. Sim City ones were fantastic, looking forward to more Skylines tips.

Hey Sky,

I'm from germany and wasn't sure to buy this game. I looked for a let's play here on youtube and found your playlist. First I was like 'mhh english lets play..' but its perfect! I'm at the middle of your let's play and actually know how to play this game without buying it at all :D

Thanks for your fantastic videos, please keep uploading it (:

Greetings from germany, and sorry for my bad english :D

Nice tips I would be using this for my cities

[rzin]

loved this series on SC. glad to see in for C:S

[joyquintas]

Quite similar to simcity 4 pipe system. I love it

[Reece_Hart]

Wait there's a 440 trick in this too? Mind=Blown

[OchsnerVinzenz]

thx skye, so good commentary on such a great game

[luiscobos]

These tips will be extremely useful as I transition from Simcity to Skylines :)

[jaerockchalk]

sup just decided to try the snowfall xpac and get back into cities i always seemed to stall out around 40k real bad traffic and shit. going to check all your tips and start a new city id really like a big ass one :) Thanks so much for making the videos in your playlists cheers !

[maciejsuder]

one thing though - streets do not need water, therefore there should be gaps - which would make piping more effective. But, since pipes are so cheap, we lay them everywhere.

[Atite_Lometen]

I used to count the tiles back in the old simcity games. Good to know the magic number is 440

[walternyc]

The OCD method to lay out your water pipes :) This is one of the few things I really don't like in the game. It's tedious, not fun and unnecessary. Anyhow,  great idea for the 60 second tips. Playing the game is taking all my free time for anything longer.

[wendaman]

you need to change your name to Mr. 440. LOL That's funny that numbers BACK

[PsySpyPT]

Why not go from 1 end to the other, then 440 side then again to the other end, it's faster
