Usually CS content has a lot of landscaping, so ITS pretty cool to See some hellscaping for a change

growing up in Europe, I had no idea cities like this actually existed. The google maps reference images look like old school sim city screenshots, everything super gritted, random high rises etc.

i would love for you to use this as a chance to show what american cities could be in the future. develop and use inspiration from actual american cities, but as you continue to build the city, look into urban renewal projects and transforming it into a “good” (walkable, denser, more transit, interstate tunnel conversion project, etc…) to reflect smart planning choices 😊

Amazed how you can still squeeze out so much from the limited amount of assets and content in general... I stopped playing for a while now as I just cannot be as creative as I want with it. Looking foward to more from you once the new DLC arrives :)

You definitely need to name the low income area “Cranston”. Play on “Compton” but also Brian Cranston is Heisenberg. Maybe also a Pinkman Park neighborhood as well! Other notable names: Goodman, Skylar, Hector Heights

Jail, u need a jail

Such asphalt, such glory

By far the best city skylines build I’ve ever seen. As someone who lives in the western US, I approve.

Name an area "HHM Heights" After Hamlin Hamlin and McGill from Better Call Saul, the Breaking Bad prequel

You should try adding some small villages and homesteads on the outskirts of town. Groups of 1-5 houses, so it doesn't just drop off into wilderness as soon as you leave the suburbs.

Name one of the suburbs Cranston (As in Bryan Cranston who played Walter)

Albuquerque references!!! OMG that looks oddly familiar 😭😂 I’ve lived in two places in my life and you’re making two cities based on them I feel like a famous person 😂❤❤❤

This must be the most impressive CS2 build thus far, given the game's limitations and lack of assets you truly created something unique and realistic. Can't wait for the next ones!

Amazing city. For your next challenge, would you consider an Eastern European city? I'm thinking central historic region with lovely old European buildings (perhaps interspersed with some ugly blocks replacing those damaged in the war), some massive historical parklands/country manor regions, maybe an old fashioned tramway? And then suburbs of Stalinist/Khruschevite tower blocks. The block complexes were meant to be all walkable for citizens with lots of green areas and parks interspersed between the developments. Some great options for the dev tool and your creativity! Could even see what you can do with an airport and make an airbase/army base (runway asset with some big warehouses for barracks?).

I would love to see that too! But I think he should start that after the region DLCs arrive, since the asset variation isn't great and there's definitely not enough to make those European old towns

In west Albequerque there are miles of empty dirt roads in culdesac grid patterns. Maybe this is something that you can replicate in the areas farther away from the populated suburbs to catch the underwhelming feeling of the city.

It is clear to me that all the bad press the game has been generating is mainly from those who are stuck in CS mode and not understanding CSII is already out shining it's predecessor. All it takes is a little know how and a lot of imagination. You knocked it out of the park with CS and you continue to amaze us all in CSII. Thank you Infrastructurist. You 💯 rock!

They should swap the stadium assets, so the park is the school's one and vice versa.

@@who_is_artis tbh to me it it makes sense that the highschool field also has the track and field disciplines, generally it makes it easier to justify the cost. There should just be a bigger football field that's an actual stadium with large stands, the one they have looks more like a neighborhood club/community's field

So glad more people are playing CS2. Honestly CS1 is still an unoptimized mess and struggles to run even on high end PCs like mine. The stupid game randomly crashes while loading when I try starting or loading a new game even though the loading screen says “in game”. I stopped playing garbage CS1 and moved on to CS2 and honestly the performance and visuals are such an improvement despite not having custom assets. You don’t have to bombard your PC with over 70 mods to make the game function and look good and the Thunderstore is very easy to use.

As someone who has never played CS1 I'm so surprised to hear this 😅 Every person always bitches about CS2 and how the devs aren't trying to fix it and it makes it seem like CS1 couldn't be any more perfect than it is. I'm glad to see there really are people who appreciate CS2, because since I've never played the first one I'm very much still enjoying the 2nd one, though I am starting to get a little bored.

I drive to ABQ 3-4 times a month. Can confirm, urban hellscape. Great food though, Mexican's know how to throw down on that grill and they're fun as hell to chill with.

I would love to see a very low-density build resembling a Montana valley, with small towns and lonely ranches scattered across vast expanses of land.

with a city of such footprint, a railway station seems plausible. But the catch is due to poor land (sandy land), the railway station is placed away from the city. Maybe the area around the railway station is a village of its own.

Your New Mexico is super natural 👍🏼 Why didn't you build a second highway entrance near Taco?

Yeah the downtown looks incredible, love how many car parks there are. Glad you’ve found those tips helpful and nice to see you using them, yes too many billboards on those buildings 😅

We need an insanely out of proportion interchange

Bob! Pack up the truck, they got plenty of parking in Albuquerque! Thats a real nice medium density neighborhood you got there, be a shame if we...... RAN THE HIGHWAY THROUGH IT! MUHAHAHA.

what happens a lot with these kind of areas after property prices drop is that the city buys up the land to build social housing.

Hey, that's my home! It's so rare to see anyone mention it haha

Love your work. You've got an excellent eye for city layout.

The seas of parking lots are perhaps the one biggest hatred I have of my own country's cities. You can easily hide them underground or within a building's first floor, though I guess that breeds claustrophobia. You could also build a parking garage that can service multiple buildings, saving ground space by just lumping several parking lots together. Buuuut, this is 'MURICA.

48:54 I would recommend using the four lane divided road when doing this. Makes them look a bit cleaner in my opinion. 👍

ALBUQUERQUE MENTIONED!!!!! And yeah, Downtown is an absolute mess, especially along Central between the hours of 12am and 12am 💀 BUT we do have a fairly decent inter-city rail system with the Railrunner!

FREEDOOOOMMMM 🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅🦅

I think you should've left more of the signs! If there's one thing they love in the states it's putting billboards literally everywhere

You're downtown looks exactly like the 1970s Houston images. It's like the most American, American car dependent images that I have seen. Those freedom parking lots 🇺🇸 *Also if you ever have to ask yourself the question, is there enough parking lots? Well we already know the answer there isn't. 😂 - from an American 🦅

I love when you said “have tons of parking lots and empty spaces, ram an interstate through the city destroying neighborhoods, and then creating a ghetto by the train tracks” really sticking to the realism hahaha

You feature modern “sunbelt” urban planning. Many large pre war cities were built with humans and not cars in mind. Can you do a mid Atlantic City like Baltimore Maryland. Older dense, gritty city.

Now when we can have way more zoning categories, I would really like some low rent-low density that also looks the part. Realistic cities always have some bad areas, but city simulators always seem to forget this. SC2 actually have homeless people, so that is at least something. But it would be fun if they spontaneously built shanty towns on unused zoning tiles.

Adore your hellscape! Watching for inspiration!

As a resident of ABQ, I approve!

I'm glad we're finally getting to a point where mods alllow you to create a unique build that doesn't look the same as everyone else's. your downtown looks great, and by that i mean bloody awful.

Got hit by a car while riding my bike on a stroad in Flagstaff, AZ not once but TWICE in a two month span. Some of the downtown in Flagstaff is pretty cute and well utilized (underground parking instead of endless above-ground parking lots, multi-use buildings (I lived in an apartment building with businesses on the first floor)) but once you head to the east side stuff gets way more grey and traditional American urban hellscapey. Imagine like 50 turn offs on each side of the road which not only backs up traffic but makes everyone frustrated and not pay attention when they see an opportunity to cut across 3 oncoming lanes at the expense of the bikers who are forced to bike on the shoulder since there are no usable sidewalks or bike lanes. Moved out of that city as fast as I could. I miss the views and nature but not the city or its drivers!

Very nice city ! (You never use underground parking ? They are great though.)

Hello! I really enjoyed your Coniferia videos, are you planning on getting back to that series again?

How about Salamanca instead of Tuco XD?

If you turn off building snapping, can you build the plopable rico hosues on those cool boulevard cul-de-sacs?

You could add a chruch in the downtown if the game has asset for it.

Would be great if the sign deletion could be integrated into the bulldozer mod

surely the town should be named Heisenburg :P

The main avenue of downtown should be called 'Walter White Boulevard' 🎩

Hope you make or replicate downtown (high-density) like New york

When you have full assets and modding accsess can you make a sequel to “the American dream” series from cs1? It was it was one of if not my favorite city you have ever made.

I think you should start a bigger project consisting of building an European city in the future, like riverside but European.

Seeing no cars on that awesome six lane avenue is really frustrating. Who's supposed to use it then? Pedestrians?

turned out pretty close to the google maps reference

OK you lost me at the pool deletion.

Usaburg place.

Could you do Las Vegas style city in to the distance?

Oh my god being able to delete the signs and crap is a game changer. Now if only we can force commercial and hotels to not be a horribly ugly color.

Are we to assume, based off of the title, that New Mexico is NOT an American city?

I live in NM it’s vey hot 😂

I dont know about the thin region you named Tuco. The character isnt poor or trashy, but hatefilled and arbitrary. How about naming it after the character after Skinny Pete? Plus, you can incorporate how thin the region is. Maybe Pete Row, a reference to Skid Row? And rows are thin? A hypothetical area that could better carry Tucco's name would be a place of ruthless and lawless industrial haphazard growth.

I'm confused by the title because New Mexico is in America. 🤔🤔

Yes, it's a state in the United States, It gets its name because it used to be a part of Mexico. Which is why it's called New Mexico. A lot of the states out in the west were part of Mexico at some point like Texas, Arizona, New Mexico, Oklahoma, California, etc.
