The Ultimate Beginners Guide to the Plazas and Promenades DLC | Cities Skylines
If you’ve been struggling to get started building a thriving city, I’m here to help! In this episode, we’ll take a look at what is available to you if you use the Plazas and Promenades DLC, and help you find the best location for your pedestrian area. In addition, well go through creating a pedestrian district, the new wall-to-wall district specializations, service points, unique buildings, transit facilities, and high-capacity city service buildings that come with the DLC. In addition, we’ll discuss the base-game updates and I’ll show you how to make a vanilla BRT line. Lots to unpack here. Enjoy!

Can new plaza DLC service and landmark building be placed outside of pedestrian zones?
"For those who know what a CD is." Conflab spoiled kids! In *my* day, all our computer games came on floppy disks! The sounds were just bips and boops from a basic onboard speaker, and we were lucky if the games could display 16 colors at the same time!
Shut up and take my money!
🤔 Your channel SAYS City Planner Plays, but you sure sound like Yumble… 😆
Love this! It reminds me of shopping arcades in Japanese large cities (and sometimes small town) though those all have large roofs and canopies over the main pedestrian road.
52:28 the intersection texture is breaking between pedestrian-bus and bus highway, but only on one side…
I really dislike the district thingy they use for every pack, it makes sense in some of the uses (like defining a park area), but really it feels like they use it because it's easier for them and they're being lazy. Not being able to mix them really limits possibilities.
And I get them only adding things compatible with base game, but again it would be a great service to player if they added some cross-compatible items as well. Adding something that works with trams and monorails would be fantastic and reduce a lot of issues! It might also encourage buying those older packs for new players, for instance I mainly use the trams from the snow dlc (forgot the name) and recommended it to new players based on that– because trams are very common in Europe. However with the trams not being properly usable in pedestrian parts I'm less likely to use trams, and will be less likely to recommend that pack…
I feel in the past they added packs to improve on the game and I felt the dlc was really worth it as they added a lot of functions, but now I feel they break a lot of stuff and just adds more things for modders to fix…
They need to add a snap to road system for painting districts, should have been added a while ago but now with speed limits based or districts it's definitely needed
I wonder if it would be possible to turn old Verde Beach or one of the TODs into a pedestrian area.
Absolutly a great addition to the game game. Very needed IMO
I am sure in 2 weeks the modding community will come up with pedastrian/tram roads based on this DLC.
I wonder if you could make a whole city pedestrian?
SUCKS!!!!!!!!
Seeing these become a regular thing in cities sounds great, and the sooner it happens irl the better..6.6
This will probably be expensive, but a walkable neighborhood on the university campus would be awesome
Love the pedestrian environment! That's what I've always wanted for my city… I hope CS 2 develops this theme even further
Looks great
Those pedestrian w/BRT networks are going to make a really nice transit mall. Does slow driving policy apply only to roads or would a tram only track get dinged?
The ads are killing the flow of the video. I'm getting 15-30 seconds of ads every 5-6 minutes. I love your videos and learning a lot from you, but this is terrible.
Give me a volcano disaster that's all I want oh and supernatural cites
Too much talking not enough tutorial…
Wish there was a better way to manage traffic on consoles.
I just purchased Plazas and Promenades. I can't wait to see what I can do with it in my own cities.
I bought the DLC without thinking, but then I suddenly thought I'd wait for your Beginner Guide to how to use the Promenades and Plazas hahahaha! Thank you!!
I can't place mod assets outside of pedestrians area, any way around this?
Pet tax!!! Petition to have Banjo the dog a regular feature in CPP
I haven't bought new DLC for this game in years but now I want to.
I've only had a short time with Plazas and Promenades. If I go down to a first person view and start a walk though a pedestrianised area, my character can't walk between the bollards protecting a pedestrianised zone and has to walk around them. I can't apply a pedestrianised zone inside a Campus area, which is a pity as many Uni's have large traffic free plazas and footpaths. Sometimes I've had the game crash which is corrected by a game cache flush, most irritating the first time it happened after several hours of play. But, hey its early days yet and hopefully patches will correct some of this.
I wish i had cities skylines
A hospitals, is a hotel for the sick.
Is anyone facing a garbage collection issue? I have a harbor in my pedestrian area and the garbage is acumulating, even though i have a big garbage center far away, which indicates 0 trucks on use/ 20 trucks total. Is it a problem within the dlc, or am i doing wrong?
The thing that really irritates me about these pedestrian areas, is that they almost all suffer "Not enough goods to sell" error messages before buildings get abandoned – even when you have multiple service points, decent traffic flow, loads of industrial areas, all while regular non-pedestrian commercial areas remain mostly unaffected. It almost ruins the game to be honest, especially when you have a big city, because the game just gives you that error message and expects you to somehow comb your possibly 25+ tile map and figure out what the problem is. This is most unrealistic of course, and is analogous to a mayor having literally no advisors explaining why something isn't working. Surely the game could just highlight something like "There is a problem at this junction" for example.
i have problems with my area where none of businesses can get goods at all even though i have the buildings needed to apple them
https://youtu.be/9nWD65PI_i0 – inspired by your videos hopefully.
Love your laugh.
How do I download your city onto my pc ?
Very well done, my friend. I enjoyed every minute to see, what you did with the new DLC. Great Job. Thanks a lot…..Greeting from Cologne, Germany
Guys, please, where do I find fences??.? Can't seem to find them in any menu…
Actually, about traffic impact, I've found that reducing the amount of ways cars/trucks can travel through a neighborhood and pedestrianizing key streets has been super helpful in reducing traffic. Though this wasn't with the Plazas and Promenades DLC, this was just with some custom roads and TMPE. I guess the concept of reduced demand applies in Cities Skylines too lol
When I play with the new DLC I experienced population decrease, or new areas take too long to get new people in. Any one facing the same trouble? I am on PS4

Instead of placing fence to prevent zoning near express bus roads, you can place a some pedestrian path from landscape menuInstead of placing fence to prevent zoning near express bus roads, you can place a some pedestrian path from landscape menu
can you make an European style city with trams and superblocks?
Hi There! For the buildings to work in the peds area you need small peds services building, but I can't get the garbage truck pass through to collect trash and it's piling up now. Do you know how to fix it? Thank you so much
Hi City Planner! Great channel! Quick question though: where did you get the beautiful modern city center style buildings? Could you post a link to your style collections perhaps? Tried looking for it on your discord channel but with no success. Thank you in advance!
This is one of the best cities ive ever seen in city skylines not a joke i need to download this map
Is this the last episode?! I STARTED AT EP 1 AND GOT ATTACHED FOR THE WHOLE WEEK!
Man I love your videos but they are extremely hard to follow. You have so much shit going on in the background of your cities you get off track A LOT!
my cities are evolving learning how to use these pieces to the game effectively
You can get with trams in roads and vihecles.
Perhaps i missed it, but is it possible to do a pedestrian zone without pedestrian roads and with service points functioning?
And does the service points function if you build the buildings far away from the main area as long as its connected with pedestrian zone?
