questions about mods

[blueandwhite87]

Thinking of buying this on ps4 but they say this version is the best for mods, well I find making mods work for games can be difficult so how hard is it and can I just download lots of stuff without worrying about mods working with eachother?

Wait.. what version are you now talking about.. PC or PS4?

Never even knew it was released for ps4...but id definitely recommend getting it for PC instead. The steam workshop makes it simple to browse mods and find stuff that you would want to use. Using mods is hit or miss. sometimes 2 of them will work together, other times 2 of them will not work together. you have to experiment and test each mod individually if you want to be sure. There are also programs that allow you to run a conflict tester to see if you have 2 mods active that would clash, but I have never used one for Cities Skylines before.

Too many mods running at once will slow your game down, cause longer load times, and cause more crash to desktops. Assets are the same, too many and it will load the game down. You should be selective. I have run as many as 20 or 30 mods at once before, but not without a few problems. Id recommend keeping it under 10 if you want to maximize efficiency and avoid crashes.

Installing mods and assets couldn't be easier. You just find the item, click a button and its done and ready to use. GO PC!

The PS4 version is adapted by the Australian studio, Tantalus Media and is Cities: Skylines including After Dark.
There are currently only 4 other DLC's for it and the custom content from the Steam Workshop is not usable. It also sells for €24,99 (37% discounted).
Alternatively, you can get the base game plus After Dark for the PC for €14.50 in the sales, have full access to all DLC's and 150,000+ items of custom content in the Steam Workshop to choose from. The basegame itself is up to date and contains many more features, fixes and optimisations than the basegame that was adapted for the PS4 from a version that is now two years old.
The choice is yours ;)

Yes, you're right, I'll edit, that said they are both at full price, while for the PC are sold at 50% off in the sales.
Interestingly, the Content Creator pack for the PS4 includes the horrible Art Deco DLC and the brilliant High Tech Buildings DLC. There's no mention of the more recent European Surburbia DLC. That poses another question though. I wonder if both Matt Cruz and Mauro Vos receive anything for sales of this PS4 DLC?

Well they should but I see a mountain of bureaucracy over it!

One point that you need to consider before comparing is can your PC run the game smoothly. At a minimum, you need a decent, dedicated grahics card and 8 gb of RAM for the base game with updates.

If you are planning on playing with mods and assets, you will likely need much more RAM. The amount will vary depending on how much you download. For example, running the base game with After Dark, Mass Transit, Natural Disasters, 20 mods and about a dozen assets with Chrome browser and one tab open, I am using 7 to 7.5gb RAM on a 20k pop city.
