PSA: Tomorrow's patch will likely render some mods incompatible

[TheLetterZ]

Hey everybody! Tomorrow it's finally time for us to enter our Parklife as well as enjoy the contents of the free 1.10 patch!

As will likely not come as any surprise to the lot of you this will probably render some mods incompatible, this is nothing unusual but can of course be annoying.

To counter this as well as possible we of course have the Modder Beta program in which Content Creators can test and tweak their content for the new patch/expansion early however even so there might be some time until your favourite mod has been updated.

For the safest Cities experience we suggest turning off your mods until they have been updated to match the latest version! Our modders are usually incredibly fast in updating their mods compability however please do practice some patience as the patch launches and please help us in informing your fellow City builders in this! Thank you all so much and see you in some lovely City Park! :)

Patience, understanding & common sense should be the mantra over the next several days. Remember - you gotta break a few eggs to make an omlette!

And yet, there will be some ignorant players who will post something here saying something like "Oh, my game broke because of this mod that I've been using for many months or years!" I hope this pinned topic will be seen and read by everyone, but I doubt it. There will be some amount of people who will moan and complain about it, not having any common sense or just doesn't know the circumstances too well.

Yeah. I think I will wait on this one. I hope Network Extensions 2 be updated because I tested it out with it turned off and my save file doesn't load up. Used the Loading Screen Mod and it showed an error message briefly before the game screen turned all blue. Hopefully, that mod and Traffic Manager get updated. These two are the most important mod for me.

We can add Rush Hour and Realistic Population to that list, as they seem to be working on streams.

Could we have an opt out option please? Preferably in beta settings, like games like Europa Universalis has?
So we can stay on the same game version for a while. There will be a time when your favourite mod creator will not update (as fast). After all they are not obligated to do so anyway. This way you can finish playing your save that is dependant on specific mods, even if the mods are not updated.

This won't happen for this game.. ever. Developer's wrote already about this around when the game got released. 😉
The only way you can prevent an update is to keep Steam in offline mode.

Should I disable my assets too? Or only mods? First time encountering this.

That depends if your assets require any mods then you should disable them as well.
However I would recommend to start a new city until most mods have been updated..

[Yamete Kudasai]

Is there any way to revert back to an older version?

[Seizheurdumat]

No way

[Sgt. Max Cockburn]

Awwww... Just loaded it up again last week for the first time in a while :)

Hope the Traffic Manager gets updated, really like it.

I understand we should be patient and if this was just a few eggs out of the dozen then maybe it wouldn't look so bad. The game is useless to me right now. Every one of the mods and the vast majority of the custom assets is broken right now. MODS are what make the game more enjoyable in my opinion. So now, I have to wait and hope that the MODS I love get fixed and quickly. Who knows how long that will take.

Here is one question I have and forgive my ignorance; Why did it take the release of the update for MOD builders to know if it was their version was broken or not? Did they not have a beta to test?

[Joshua Norton]

and here i am, asking you again WHY there is no option to revert back to a previous version of the game via steam opt-in betas, as you can do with other paradox titles?

it just makes no sense at all.
*still* disappointed about this.
