Cities: Skylines Dev Tracker

Originally posted by mojoreef: @Avanya I did try both of those and I did have the ability to to do it. When I place it back their it gives me a warning that it already exists but allows me to place it anyway?

Very strange! It might be worth deleting it completely and erasing the whole campus area as well to reset things.

Edit: I mean, just the painted area, but leaving all the other buildings. :)

You mean the white box that shows on the left of the screen? Or chirps?

Both can be disabled without mods. Just go into "Options", and then under "Gameplay" find the "In-game settings". Disable "Show in-game guide popup" to avoid seeing the white box with tips, and disable "Auto-open Chirper messages" to ignore what your citizens are chirping about.

It sounds like moving the building around with Move It has disconnected it from the campus area. Try relocating it with the default move option (not Move It) and place it inside the area. If that doesn't work, try deleting it and placing a new one of it in the right area.

I see you have the No Problem Notifications mod. Depending on how many notifications you use it for, I would disable it temporarily to make sure you aren't missing some notifications, which would explain why your buildings aren't operating.

I also noticed a couple of old mods, which you should unsubscribe from:
- Ireland Terrain Theme - you don't have the dependency mod, so there's no point in having this. Better to find a map theme that works for you.
- Demand Master - dynamic demand is broken, use Super Demand instead

To use a style in your city, you will first need to paint a district over the area, that should have the style applied. Then you select the district and can pick any available theme for that district. The game will then try to pick only the buildings in the style for that whole district - but if there are no residential buildings in a style (which is the case with Modern City Center for example), then it will select any of the available buildings to make sure buildings spawn.

You can also create your own styles. This is done in the Content Manager before loading a save. First you go into Styles to create a new style and name it. Once you've done that, you can go through your buildings and add them to the new style you created. You cannot add default buildings to a style, only workshop buildings. And you cannot edit the styles that come with the game, like the Modern City Center style.

I'm sorry to hear your experience has been frustrating! What you're describing does not sound normal, so I'd really like to help figure out, what's happening. The best place to start would be to ignore mods and exclude them as the cause for these problems. If you are subscribed to mods, and easy way to set the game back to it's original state is to use the launch options -noWorkshop and -disableMods, then start a new city (as saves made with mods can still be affected by those mods).

I would probably try with quays in some form, but I'm not sure how well they work. Otherwise if you're just landscaping, Extra Landscaping Tools lets you copy a height of the terrain. You'd still have to estimate the width, but at least they'd all be the same height.

Looks like you're using a mod to resize the menu, so simply make it smaller, so it doesn't overlap the upgrade button.

I'm guessing you're using Resize It or More Advanced Toolbar, so check the mod descriptions if you're unsure how to resize the menu with the one you have. :)

Make sure to put in water pipes and connect the area to the power grid. I usually plop down a fire station and give it power, so power can spread from it to other buildings. Buildings can spawn without water and power, but they are much more likely to do so when there is power.

You might also want to take a look at your education levels for the city. The orange bar shows both demand for industry AND offices, so if your citizens are generally highly educated, the demand might be for offices instead.

What are the two storage buildings set to? Empty, Balanced or Fill?

Alternately you can use custom roads, which do not use the map theme's road texture. Here are a few examples of roads, which have their own look no matter the theme.

Your best bet is the Ambient Sound Tuner mod.

The game doesn't come with additional Map Themes, so you will need to find some on the workshop, that you want to use. Here's the category

Then whenever you load a map (be it a new city or a savegame), you can select a theme below the image on the right. Without mods a Map Theme has to match the type of map. So for a temperate map, you will only see any temperate Map Themes you have installed.

You can use a mod called Environment Changer to have more ... Read more

It's been a long time since I've seen that error. Most likely it's an outdated or incompatible mod that's causing it. The best place to start is to check your mods against this list of known broken and incompatible mods.

If you don't have any or removing broken mods doesn't help, we'll likely need your output log (called player.log on Mac and Linux) to look closer at your mods.

To easily find the local files for the game, right click your game in the Steam library, select Properties, go to the Local Files tab and select Browse local files.

The link will not show us your list of subscribed items. Only you can see that, and it will just take us to our down subscriptions.

The easiest way for us to see your subscribed mods, is for you to share your output log (called player.log on Mac and Linux) somewhere and link to it here. It will show us all your mods along with their Steam ID, so we also know which versions.

No problem! Great to hear it's solved ^^

The best thing I can think of is to hover over the Sparkly Unicorn Rainbow Park and see what scenario it lists as not being completed.

Perfect! I'll join the post on the forum then, so I can keep up with Andrew's responses and don't suggest the same stuff to you here. ^^

The error doesn't really give any details that helps in figuring out why it's happening. Could be an incompatible mod, would be the mod files have been messed up.

You can try unsubscribing/resubscribing the mod while out of the game. That will make Steam redownload the files, fixing any issues there might be with them.

You can also upload your output log. Then we can see what other mods you have and what happens before the error (which sometimes helps narrow down the cause). This guide explains where to find the log and recommends a few sites you can upload it to, since we can't attach files here on Steam.

Try adding the launch options -noWorkshop and -disableMods in Steam. Does it happen then as well?
