No More Buildings

[tuvakinturkey]

After installing mods all service buildings - electricity, water etc. - disappeared - there are only empty fields. They works, but the game is absolutely unplayable. Ive formatted HD, reinstalled Steam and CS2 - and nothing happens. WTF?

[Maverick1797]

I am having the same problem I have uninstalled and reinstalled 4 times taken all mods out tried to reinstall the same mods but nothing. I even went in and deleted certain asset files and still nothing. At this point I'm done with this stupid game and the way they have things formatted for it. I lost a huge city I had built due to me "getting a refund" on the DLC i willingly bought and I never wanted taken away just to have everything in my city turn into gray blocks. I hate this game so much and I wish I didn't I just want to game on my free time but I have to trouble shoot every other day for this insane game. If anyone knows how to fix please help. Even after having all mods disabled I am still showing the "Achievements are disabled due to mods being used" WHAT MODS!!???

CO is so completely incompetent! They should all be sued for impersonating software developers.

[Le_Doc]

i had the same problem except only trees have disappeared ....tried without mods, then checked files integrity but still no trees...even after uninstall/reinstall after removing every mods, still no trees ....i managed to have the game back by deleting manually every files related to the game that still were there after uninstalling, losing all my cities (+400hours)...

but now i got the game back with all the other mods i used to play before trying some assets mods ...just DON'T subscribe to assets mods or make a backup save in the steam menu

[Dextren]

now i get an error message by opening the game... no chance to enter the menue to do anything...
I think i will quit CS2 for a while at least....

CO, Please Fix Your Game.

If nothing else helps you could try the following to reset your game settings. This has help some people to get their game running again.

All the settings are saved in:
--> C:\Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\LocalLow\Colossal Order\Cities Skylines II
To reset all your game settings delete all contains in this folder. It will be recreated once you start the game.

**BUT BE CAREFULL**
As a precaution I strongly advice you to BACK UP every thing you delete beforehand. Better be safe than sorry! ;)
If you have put some work into optimizing your settings (maybe graphics to increase performace or keybinds) make a screenshot or whatever so you can recreate them afterwards.

I have tried this and it still wont work I attempt to replay it and redownload the deleted files and it still gives me the error saying Mods are active and when I go in a game the power lines wont show up, i cant place roads, utilities, nothing. Everything seems to be locked and it still shows I have the road asset mod downloaded even though I don't. I feel myself growing gray hair from this

I am unable to find this folder? I go to \UserName\ and then after that I cant find the route to finding the folder?

That should not be that case as the information what mods you have installed and the mods themselves are stored in the folder I mentionend. In: [...]\LocalLow\Colossal Order\Cities Skylines II\.cache\Mods\ you will find a folder named 'mods_subscribed' where every mod you subscrived has its own folder. In playsets_metadata you find a setting file for each playset. If you now delete all this you should not be subsribed to any mod anymore.

Savegames are located in: C:\Users\<USERNAME>\AppData\LocalLow\Colossal Order\Cities Skylines II\Saves\<YOUR_PERSONAL_ID>

I would recommend to make a back up copy of the whole \LocalLow\Colossal Order\Cities Skylines II -folder with ALL its contains. After you saved everything separately. delete it. Run the game once to have the game recreate the necessary files in this folder and check if the game runs as you expect it to. If everything seems alright, copy the contains from the BACK UP SAVEGAME folder to [...]\LocalLow\Colossal Order\Cities Skylines II\Saves\<YOUR_PERSONAL_ID>

On standard settins Windows will hide this folders. But you can change this easily.

Instruction for Win 11:
*I run the german version of Windows and I will do my best to translate german expressions to what I think it would read like in english*

-> Start your File Explorer
-> in the upper part of it right next to 'Filter' you see 3 little dots, click on those
-> go to Options
-> click View
-> In the little sub window below scroll down. Under "Hidden files and folders" you find two options to activate, You activate 'Show hidden files, folders and drives'.
-> Close this option menue

Go back to C:\Users\<USERNAME> and you will find the 'Appdata' folder visible. It is displayed in pale colors, but that shouldn't bother you. Doubleclick to open and proceed like you normaly would. ;)
