Mods and Patch 1.13.1-f1 [Mod compatibility thread]

[Avanya]

Last updated 5th of June 10:53

Patch day means some mods are likely to break, meaning your city won't load/work like it usually does. But don't worry, most mods update pretty quickly or can safely be removed, so you are unlikely to lose your city.

Just don't panic and if you do open your save, don't save over the file - save as a new file instead just to be safe.

If you don't use any mods from the workshop or have been through patches before you likely know the drill and this post won't really be useful for you. It's intended to help players who aren't used to mods and patches through the update as smoothly as possible. If this is still all new to you and you have questions feel free to ask and I’ll answer them as best as I can.

If you play with a lot of mods

• Don’t open your city or cities yet, but wait until most major mods are updated, so nothing breaks.
  
• Keep an eye on this post and its links so you know which mods are updated.
  
• Disable all mods and start a new city (make sure not to save over your other city!) if you want to check out the new features. This can easily be done by adding the launch option “-noWorkshop” (without the quotation marks)
  
• Even if you have broken mods you might still be able to load your city, but depending on the mods things might be messy. If you do load without those mods, make sure to save as a new file just in case!

Which mods are broken

• Dropouts - error, broken, remove or use replacement: Dropouts Sunset Fix

Will I be able to continue my old city?

Most likely yes, but it might be a few days depending on what mods you use. I'll help you figure out when you can safely start your city again.

Will ‘insert mod’ be updated?

Most likely yes - a lot of our awesome modders are working hard to get everything up and running again. But some mods will need larger fixes and as modders only have their free time, we might wait a while for some of them. Now is a great time to tell them how much we appreciate their work!

And if there are already several comments mentioning the mod is broken, you don't need to comment. The modder knows and will update when they can.

Which mods do I absolutely need to load my city?

I don't have a complete list, but generally mods that add a network like Network Extensions 2, More Train Tracks, Metro Overhaul Mod, One Way Train Tracks and Extra Train Station Tracks are needed to load a city once you have used the networks they add in your city. If any of these are broken you'll have to wait for them to be fixed to load your city again. 81 tiles is another mod you'll need to wait for to be updated if you have used it.

Then there are mods like Traffic Manager: President Edition, any mod that changes population numbers (like Realistic Population and Consumption), Ploppable RICO and Plop the Growables, which you can load your city without, but it's not a good idea as your city will be chaotic at best and fall apart at worst.

A good way to determine how much you need a mod is to think of what it does. If it makes some big changes to how things work in game, removing it will cause problems. If it's something that makes things more convenient for you but doesn't really change how things function once in your city, it isn't a big deal to get rid of.

What about Metro Overhaul Mod

The creators of MOM have confirmed that the mod will be updated to work with Sunset Harbor. If you use this mod in your city, you will still need it after the update. If you would like to remove the mod at any time, then follow the instruction in the mod's description. If you'd like to know what's happening with the mod in the future, check out this message from BadPeanut: https://twitter.com/CS_badpeanut/status/1240746577456771073

Still having issues?

You might have mods that broke before this patch - maybe last patch or long before that. I recommend checking out this list of broken and abandoned mods[docs.google.com] to get rid of any old ones you still have. It's a constant work in progress, so it may not be a complete list, but it's a great place to start. See the tab at the bottom on how to use.

Having errors?

Many errors are very generic and don't give much clue as to the problem. Please don't post long errors in comments. Instead just describe when the error happens (what you were doing at the time it appeared) and include your log file. This guide explains where to find it and suggests different places you can upload it to, since you can't attach a file here.

Checking my own list as well, Extra Landscaping Tools by BloodyPenguin seems to have issue's right now as well, not game breaking tho

Ooh, what problems are you having?

Cannot close the menu anymore after using it. Read someone in the Workshop thread of the mod itself having the same issue, with two more saying it broken, but not specifying what.

Also, Move It 2.7.1 (by Quboid) and Net Picker (by Elektrix) have confirmed to be working just fine by the authors.

Kibothai eredeti hozzászólása:

Next time this should be organized smarter. I am truly happy for the new patch, however, almost none of the mods can be used right now. Few exceptions, ofc. And probably everyone would handle this situation better if many of us wouldn't be in quarantine. I will not hurry the modders, I wouldn't say it's their fault that a lot of players can't play with mods for a while. It was simply badly organized. :) But I hope Paradox will learn of this situation. Peace&love

There is only so much that can be improved on. Modders are doing this in their spare time as a hobby, when they feel up to it. Even with the beta where they can test mods early they won't always have the time or the interest to work on their mods. And Steam doesn't allow mods to be handed over to another creator nor schedule updates for mods. Modding is never gonna be a 100% smooth or pain free experience. It's just the nature of modding.

Okay, tanks, it's strange because BloodyPinguins said it is compatible with the new version...

It's "it will be made compatible with" the new version, but not yet.

Also for me Fine Road Anarchy 2 seems to be working.. Not sure what the error people are having is about..

Does the anarchy for networks work? As in can you build a road on top of another? That is the part that has been reported broken. Curious if it is just for some people.

If you mean when building a bridge or similar, over a road in such a position that would normally be red, then yes I can.. Although I have found that node snapping seems to turn off every so often, whether it is me hitting a key or the game not sure..

I might not be able to play this game for at least 1 month.
---- >8 ----

Why that? Disable the "Sunset Harbor" Mod in Steam and you are ready to go on.
Why wait with this new DLC enable?
Or simply switch off the affected mods and start building a new city.
There are only a few mods that make trouble.
Or did I get it wrong and the patch is still applied even one disable DLC Sunset Harbor?

Does anyone know if 'Parking Lot Roads" works?

[GrignardTN]

Any news on the lifecycle rebalance mod and realistic population?

[Dreaminway]

With how high in demand Network Extensions 2 has been for most of us. Why don't the dev's just adapt the road styles into the base game and also expand on it?
It's an old mod and it's unsure if the author is even going to update it or not.

If you're talking about both of these mods:
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2027161563
https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=2025147082

then check the comments, the owner seems to be checking and has stated they look okay so far.

They are "just" networks so they should be fine. Everything that isn't a mod or relies on a mod should be fine. :)

GrignardTN eredeti hozzászólása:

I haven't noticed any problems with them, but I also haven't had a chance to test for longer periods of time. But no massive shifts in population or demands indicated that Realistic Population is fine at least.

I just discovered this Post by looking for solutions as to why I can't play Skylines Cities ...

My game breaks with nonsense bugs, I can't add ESSENTIAL moods like 81 Tiles or Anarchy Road ....

I seriously believe that Paradox should do a useless "Workshop" purge and incorporate the most used MODs into the game. Or at least urge developers to update the MOD before putting the DLC up for sale.

Now I have it installed and I can't play ...

"At a minimum", I won't be able to play in 1 month (until they are updated). Right at a time of residential confinement due to the pandemic.

You have destroyed me one of the few entertainments ...

Citi doomed , too many workshop mod ! anyone advise plssss ....
