Try verifying game files through Steam, that should hopefully force an update.

We're seeing reports of this happening but having trouble reproducing the issue reliably enough to investigate it properly. But I just wanted to let you know we are trying to get to the bottom of this.

Mods being deactivated or showing as 0/0 mods is a result of the userGameState.cgs being corrupted and deleted so a new one is created. Restarting the game after it initially happens should let you reactivate your mods. I recommend you back up your userGameState.cgs before shutting down the game (the corruption either happens once the game is shut down or when it's starting). That way you can replace the userGameState.cgs if it gets corrupted again.

The userGameState.cgs can be found here:
C:\Users\%username%\AppData\Local\Colossal Order\Cities_Skylines

Modding a game that's still supported and receiving updates comes with the risk of things breaking. This is why there's a warning the first time you enable mods. While I understand you are frustrated, please remain constructive. Steam's community guidelines still apply even if you wish we did not support the game still.

Mods break when there is an update because the code they reference changes. Sometimes this is because we fix a bug, sometimes we add a new feature, and sometimes due to optimizations. While I understand that not everyone sees the value in these updates, they are part of our support for the game. And for players who do not mod the game, these are highly requested.

We work with our modding community providing early access to modders so they are able to prepare updates, but these aren't instantly available. The modders need to manually update their mods, and as modding is a hobby they are often at work/school, asleep, or have other real-life commitments when a patch goes live - and as our modders come from all over the world this is always the case no matter what time of day we patch the game. Please be patient as they get a chance to update mods.

Reverting game updates is not something we offer for Cities: Skylines as it wouldn't solve anything, it would just push... Read more

The most up-to-date list of broken mods can be found in the Patch 1.16.1 tab of this spreadsheet:

Please make a report on our support forum so we can investigate the issue. It would also be very helpful for us to know what your FPS is when the economy panel is closed. We expect to see a drop in FPS when the economy panel is open as the game is calculating a lot of statistics while the panel is open, so knowing what your regular FPS is would be very helpful.

The issue should be resolved now. You will likely need to restart your game and it should download an update. Please let me know if they show up correctly now or if they're still missing.

We've seen a significant improvement following the changes in this patch, you should absolutely see more of a difference than 1 FPS in the unmodded game. We will need to see your output_log.txt (called player.log on Mac and Linux) to investigate this, and as these can't be posted on Steam, please make a report on our support forum here:
https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/forums/support-bug-reports.879/

Depending on your operating system the log can be found here:

Windows
\SteamApps\common\Cities_Skylines\Cities_Data\output_log.txt
\CitiesSkylines\Cities_Data\output_log.txt

Mac OS X
~/Library/Logs/Unity/Player.log

Linux
~/.config/unity3d/Colossal Order/Cities: Skylines/Player.log

Thanks for the additional information, I'll let you know as soon as I have an update on this.

Are you using any mods? What kind of framerate are you seeing when the economy panel is closed?

Please try verifying game files through Steam and adding the launch options -noWorkshop and -disableMods to make sure no mods are stopping them from loading. Are they still missing? And do they show as owned in game but are missing the music? Or does it not recognize them as owned?

How To Set Launch Options

• Right-click on the game title under the Library in Steam and select Properties.
  
• Enter the launch options you wish to apply in the box (be sure to separate each code with a space). Should look like this:
  -noWorkshop -disableMods
• Close the game's Properties window and launch the game.

No release today. We'll share our plans for Cities: Skylines very soon

Originally posted by zboss79: i ran the compatibility mod and replaced some broken or out of date mods. Now my save games wont load. What do I do next? I can't bring myself to start a new city. Too many hours in my saved games.
(edit) I found I can go to Content Manager and click 'Saved Games'. Select the game I wanted to play and click "subscribe all". That reloaded my mods and I'm back to playing again. Sweet.

When removing mods it's a good idea to check their workshop page. Mods like Metro Overhaul Mod and Network Extensions require more steps before you can remove them as the save depends on them to load properly.

Originally posted by BOT Ulysses: I have a problem, my game has worked fine for the past 2-3 days with mods and now when i want to load my save, the game crashes itself as well as my graphics card drivers and other apps like Discord. Anyone would like to help me?

If you haven't already please check your mods against the list of broken mods, both the first tab and especially the tab named Patch 1.16.0 (Financial Districts).
