Loading Screen Mod

Description
Update May 22, 2021

Support for the new DLCs.

Update Oct 31, 2020

Support for the Chinese language. My thanks to @Yuuki for the translation!

Update Sep 23, 2019

New Safe Mode loading options.
Read here.

Update Jul 28, 2019

New feature: Optimize thumbnails (in mod options, enabled by default)
  • optimizes the memory usage of asset thumbnail and tooltip textures
  • this option saves about 1.5GB of memory for each 1000 assets
  • also speeds up custom asset loading
  • if you use the Find It! mod you'll see less memory saved because Find It creates some textures.

This mod displays information on the loading screen and adds new options:
  • Load used assets: automatically loads the assets that are used in your city, no matter if they are enabled or not.
  • Share textures / materials / meshes: Assets from the same author often contain the same resources but the game does not care and loads identical copies. These options replace such copies by references, saving RAM.
  • Prefab skipping: you can skip vanilla buildings, vehicles and props to save RAM. Read here.
  • The mod contains an optimized custom asset loader that is significantly faster than the built-in loader.
  • Optional HTML reports (Assets Report & Assets Browser) are also available.
  • For additional features, see the figures above.

wait the new plaza fix is no good for save games @85 ?

The item has become incompatible with the game, I cannot play. Wasted money on cities skylines and no fix to it. Nice.

I'm sure I'm not the first, but I want to just leave a note and say, "THANK YOU!!"

Saving RAM and, more important to me today, allowing me to easily find and subscribe to missing assets, has been huge to me. I can't believe a game as old as CS is still so fun - and the mods are a huge part of that.

Great work!

I used this and it worked fine. Everyone told me to download the newer 0.7 version, and now the wait time has tripled for new games whilst I can't open old games.

The loading screen mod worked, with this new "fix" 0.7 my game is totally ruined and I can't even play my old saves anymore. This sucks big time
