So I stupidly decided that I wanted 81 tiles instead of 25 in a game already going, swapped them out. Game wouldn't load so I put it back, and it still sits at the loading screen. Am I screwed? My next idea to try is disable all mods and see if it'll load, then if it does enable them again after.

I'm not sure the specifics or if it's even true any more, but 81 tile is way more buggy and risky than 25. 25's just unlocking all the vanilla tiles, 81 has to change a bunch of core game poo poo to allow it. 25 seems plenty big enough, and multi-city regions often don't really work out so well anyways since cims don't seem to take distance into account as much as they should when it comes to work or shopping. Also a ton of mods randomly become incompatible with 81 tile mod. If you just want a huge vanilla city it's an ok mod, but if you're stacking all sorts of other poo poo on top it can get hosed. Like just now I'm reading there's some critical problem between 81 tiles and disable zoning check mod. Who knows why, it's just a fussy mod that likes to ruin stuff.

I'm using a real city map to make an improved version of somewhere I used to live and parts of it don't fit in the 25, so I figured I'd try it. Anyway I've removed it now and went back to 25 but it stuck at the loading screen. I'm going to screw with it when I get home but was just wondering if anyone's had infinite loading issues and knows a good way to fix it.

I have discovered that my three-year-old loving LOVES it when we click on a train or a bus or a car or what have you, and then follow it all through the city. We talk about transportation and neighbourhoods and jobs and farms and buildings. It's wonderful. My wife, for some strange reason, is less enamoured than I am with this Parenting Innovation.

Sometimes disabling everything, restarting the game, starting a new city, turning them back on fixes it. When I got back into the game this month I was getting a million errors when I'd start the game or a new city. I disabled all mods, restarted and it was fine. Turned on all mods, and it was still fine. Who knows, game is weird.

Place the small silver traffic cone over the hard drive and tap the computer case three times with the ceremonial miniature jackhammer before loading the save.

Is there any easy way to unsubscribe from all mods/assets? I'm thinking of getting back into this but I have like a billion mods and assets that make my poo poo run terribly. I want to start over fresh and try not to go hog wild this time.

In the in-game content manager under the Steam stuff there should be a button that says 'unsubscribe all.' If you have a ton of mods it may take a while during which time it looks like your game has frozen but it should still be working. I thought mine had froze and after 5-10 minutes I closed the program thinking it had just crashed and went to Steam to manually unsub and I only had a few left to unsub.

The "less steam" mod reaaaaaly helps in that regard. The mod panel is super inefficient and any time you check or uncheck a box it triggers a refresh on the status of every single other mod you have and a check-in with the steam workshop. The mod removes a lot of this extraneous checking and gets rid of most of the hang-ups while trying to look at your massive unmanageable mod list. So yeah, you need a mod to more quickly unsubscribe from mods! :thatsskylines:

If you aren't excited about making cities with bike stuff or trams skip it. Disasters has nothing of use unless you like explosions and your work being undone.

So how does Move-It work with filling in the gaps in a curved-road block? I understand that you can ship buildings around and clip them into other buildings, but wouldn't that just leave a new gap where a moved building had originally been? How do zones react to having a building half-shifted out of a block? Is this one of those things that only works if you're RICO'ing everything?

How do zones react to having a building half-shifted out of a block? Is this one of those things that only works if you're RICO'ing everything? Mods have you all covered! Really all you need is move-it and disable zone check mods. The building picker mod really helps too. Move it lets you very finely move poo poo around, I only recently figured out you can do this with the mouse not just tapping arrow keys, it also lets you select multiple buildings, save and copy selections, do all sorts of amazing poo poo. You just totally ignore the zoning grid and move the buildings around where they look nice. They can be about 2 tiles away from a road and still work, so it's very flexible. Normally the buildings would de-spawn very quickly since they'd be off the zoning grid, so people were converting buildings into rico's. But now you don't have to, because "disable zoning check" mod disabled this check, so you can move zoned buildings anywhere and they'll work as per usual, even upgrade, it's perfect. With the building eye dropper mod you can just press "t" and grab any building you like and clone it. No need to cycle through bad menus of building missing icons to build an area, the city is your pallet. Usually I zone an area like normal and just fill in the gaps where needed, but sometimes on curves the default zoning grid is hosed and I just hand plop and move every building. If you're doing a big curve you can actually grab a few buildings you've curved and copy paste. If they're all level 1 buildings, as time goes on and they upgrade any repetition will of course go away. You're of course doing this all with anarchy turned on so you can overlap the butt's of buildings into each other on the curve. Or merging two building together to look like one. Some of the symetrical european buildings look real good merged together, like overlapping a tile and a half or what ever to make weird-sized building to fill in weird holes.

From the sound of it, Move-It is a feature that CO just needs to bake into the base game. I'm not playing much lately, but I definitely know what two must-have mods I'll need to install whenever I get back to it. e: Also, of interest to this thread, Citybound is back: http://blog.cityboundsim.com/christmas-2016-announcement/ I figure some of y'all unbookmarked it and might not have noticed. Looks like a good start.

Not really what you're probably looking for (you mean like those huge auto plants in SimCity 4, right?), but if you search "UK industrial unit" you'll find a couple dozen things that kind of work well as a kind of pseudo modular thing.

Definitely gonna be tinkering with Move It then, thank you Baronjutter. Is there any way to change a city's starting date yet, other than manually adjusting the date on your PC? I very much enjoy making more old-timey-ish cities, and it's all quite fun until I look in the corner and it's now 2029 in Oldtimesville after 13 in-game years.

It shouldn't matter at all but the date slightly bugs me too. I wish it just showed number of years you've been playing. Time's sort of meaningless in the game anyways. Also for BIG INDUSTRY Check out Avanya's stuff, does lots of huge rico industrial plops, warehouses, all sorts. If the link doesn't work just search for Avanya or "factory hall" http://steamcommunity.com/profiles/76561198027494461/myworkshopfiles/?appid=255710

One of the mods that was recommended a page or so ago alters the timescale such that the days/nights pass slower and then in conjunction with that there's a mod (or maybe it's the same one I don't quite remember now and I'm away from my home PC) that alters the traffic so people actually go to work in the AM and go home in the PM and so on. The timescale seems fairly realistic in that it takes a reasonable amount of time to drive across town (hour or so in-game versus driving all night and all morning in vanilla). Not perfect but it seems to be working pretty nicely. At 3-4am there's much less traffic on my roads and there's definitely a rush of people going home or going to work at the times you'd expect if the number of people trying to use public transit at appropriate times is any indication.

subx posted:So I've been getting back into this after playing quite a bit more than a year ago when it first released. How do things like this work? Ploppable means a building you build, rather than one built automatically inside a zoned area. Ploppable RICO is a mod that allows ploppable buildings to function the same way as zoned buildings, in respect to providing living space, jobs and production. In other words, a building you build that economically works like a zone building, but never gets replaced automatically. So Ploppable RICO lets you bonsai garden your city, building areas of residential/industrial/commercial/offices that remain the same way forever.

I am not sure I have the patience to build some of the perfect cities you guys have done in the past week or so with the zoning mod, but wouldn't mind doing a couple of cool industrial areas or something.
