Cities: Skylines Dev Tracker

Exactly what Verullus Forgefire said. This is consoles getting their giveaway since they weren't included in the Parklife one we had here on Steam last month.

When figuring out if something works or not, I always assume anything that isn't a mod works, even if the comments say otherwise, and then just test it myself. I get regular comments on my stuff from people who have some issue and tell me the asset is broken. Often it's a mod or not understanding how the specific asset works. I usually get around to answering and explaining, but not all creators have the time, especially if they get many of those comments, so the comment section can sometimes be filled with comments that aren't confirmed.

For mods I also tend to test things myself, but that's a little more complicated and risky. A buildling won't mess up my save, but a mod might. Generally I always recommend saving as a new file every time you save your city. It protects you against the file corrupting, but it also leaves you with backups in case a mod messes up something. It's a good way to approach mods, even new ones that you assume work. :)

Are you using mods? Because there should be a Properties window in the bottom right corner. Lots of mods break the editors though, as they were designed for the simulation and not the editors. Try loading your game with the launch option -disableMods and see if that helps.

The giveaway is indeed just for console this time around, as we had the Parklife giveaway just be for Steam. This is console players' chance to get something nice for free. :)

Crime is handled through the main entrance building of the zoo. If some of the buildings inside the zoo were without the main entrance in their area, that would explain the crime showing up for them. To get rid of that, make sure that they are again inside a park area that has a main entrance for zoo, so it can handle crime for them. It might be worth removing the whole painted area and then painting it again from the main entrance.

You can use the Environment Changer mod to change any map to another map type. You can even remove the mod again after having changed the map if you'd like.

For DLCs it comes down to how you play the game. Looking at how I play, I could probably have almost the same amount of fun with half the DLCs I have, though I like the extra options. If you haven't played in a while, I would get back into the game first and see what you enjoy doing, so any DLCs you get will enhance what you enjoy. Not much point in Mass Transit if you have setting up public transport for example.

For mods I'll link AquilaSol's Beginner's Guide. Even if you aren't new to modding, it has suggestions for mods depending on your playstyle and what you need. It's a great place to start - along with recommendations from other players ofc. :)

In that case the problem is likely with the launcher. Try the troubleshooting steps in this post, and if that doesn't help or it still doesn't work, follow the instructions at the bottom to contact support. They can help you get it working and log any bugs that need fixing.

Hmm, this was an old bug, but it's been long fixed. :S Try verifying game files to make sure everything is up to date and working as it should.

Parklife Plus includes both the Parklife DLC and the Country Road Radio Station.

Am I right that you do not see the launcher at all? If yes, see this post and try the steps in it. If that doesn't help, follow the instructions at the bottom to contact support, so they can help you get back into the game and log any bugs that need fixing.

Can you add more detail about what happens? Do you see the launcher? Does the game start and take you to the main menu?

Just to make this clear. If you do not have Natural Disasters, no park buildings or campus buildings will catch fire! Only buildings that require road access will catch fire, if you do not have Natural Disasters.

If you do have Natural Disasters, then you have fire fighting helicopters, and those buildings will then be able to catch fire.

You will only have the problem, if you have the tools to deal with it. :)

Also, you have the option to disable fire spread (see Options in game), which will stop fires from spreading in a park/campus area, so helicopters can fight the fire without it getting out of control. So there are options to avoid the crazy spread that was a problem when Parklife just came out. :)

There hasn't been a patch for the game since the 6th of April, so unless you have been away from the game for a while, it's probably a mod. Most mods weren't made for the editors, so it's best to disable all you don't need. If you don't need any mods at all, you can use the launch option -disableMods to easily have all mods off without having to turn each mod on/off.

Nobody left, but most of the presense is on the official forums. That's also why the pinned threads direct you there for support and bug reports. Here is a great place to get help with gameplay issues since there's lots of players who visit every day, but Steam just isn't very practical for support I'm afraid. :/

As far as I'm aware there are just a few minor bugs (things that happen only in very specific cases or can be worked around) at the moment, since we had a little patch fixing issues discovered after Sunset Harbor was released.

And even if I don't get the chance to respond to many threads on here, I'm still around daily. :)

The long number in front of the asset name is the Steam ID. If you add that to this url, then you can find the item on Steam to see its requirements.

Here's the two you get errors from.

How far do you get? Do you see the launcher that pops up after pressing Play in Steam? Or does the launcher not even appear?

This mod lets you control how transparent the tooltip is, all the way to 100%. :)

I think it's an overlapping problem, I've had the same issues with mods not downloading.

Since the mods are downloading and showing up in game for you, it seems unlikely to be the same issue. But you can try the last steps AquilaSol li... Read more

No problem! :)

Some of the Asset X Changer mods also aren't working anymore, or aren't working as well as they should. One of them was updated recently and works, while at least some of the others have problems. You can do a lot of what the mods do with ModTools and scripts though, so they aren't so needed.

Here's a really handy collection of a lot of scripts to change all sorts of things:
