that metro entrance in front of train station with the 2 tiles usage was a total shock to me

[nickertje]

i always use the two tiles trick for schools so they can be surrounded by houses like a courtyard

Though it takes more patience, the Vanilla game is still possible. These methods are great examples of that, and they look amazing!

"Imperatur was a city builder so powerful, so wise he could create stunning cities purely vanilla. He had such knowledge of the game, he could even place train stations that weren't adjacent to roads."
"Is it possible to learn this power?"
"Not from a modder."

I always saw other people's cities and wondered....why can't my waterfront be like that..?
AND NOW I CAN MAKE IT LIKE THAT!!!!
thank you such much imperatur you are a true gem for this community!

Bro, this stuff is actual magic, I recently got into Cities Skylines, and I envy the patience and creativity the community has.
If I don't get into Model Railroads in my old age, I can assure my friends I'll be building virtual cities, holy lord.

I like the 2nd tip, it's like, u want to delete something but it won't let u, just use your God like powers to delete it, (I though u were using a meteor, which would be quite brutal if there was a ceremony at the graveyard.)And the rest are pretty uselfull

Had a total "surprised Pikachu face" moment when you explained the building distance thing and plopped a metro down in front of another terminal. :O

The no more boring overpass, to get bridge structure, you don't need to remove the bottom road. Use lower terrain tool and lower the soil under the road, while road is there, change road to another road, then change back to desired road. Then smooth or level terrain back in the dirt under the bottom road. You won't see the soil change under the road but game tracks the change.

I'm always struggling to get the best result with mods not working, lags, bugs... then I see your videos about the Vanilla game and I'm like... "f**k this sh*t I'm done". xD

You're the best Imperatur, I followed you for years and your contents are still so damn amazing. Thanks for all your tips and inspiration. <3

I honestly thought for a second that the 2nd tip was that you could quickly empty a cemetery by dumping the bodies in the landfill 😄

[osets]

Once again proving your mastery over this game, that multi tiered waterfront looked amazing

[Sweetcts]

Ive got 900 hours on console, over 1500 on pc - TODAY I just learned 6 new things I didn't know. Thank you Imperatur! <3

Sometimes in vanilla I use the monorail track to look like bridge supports looks like a under construction or destroyed bridge you just make a two way monorail track that Is around the length of a 4 way road and line up the pillars at the same height. Just adding to what I said before using the industry's dlc by using the odd shore mining plant and medium size mining crane look gold with it aloa adding a few level one mining site for the excavators. Also adding ore storage sites near it and a road or bridge leading up to it are good too.👍

You've got nice tips!! I loved the metro station directly in front of the train station. Using the 2 small commercial buildings tied it all together very naturally. Well done!!

[Myckelin]

0:38 you deserve heaven for this part ❤️🌆

[erikverboom]

The one with the train station with the shops in front blew my mind, definitely gonna use that.

[jas_creates]

Wow! This video is everything! I never knew any of these tips before. Will definitely save this to keep these tips in mind. Thanks for this!

Not really a building trick, more of a decorative & traffic control trick: office zones generate virtually no traffic. They are great as filler buildings in built up areas especially along busy roads with high volumes of traffic. They also of course provide jobs & IT cluster offices generate goods without causing traffic.
