how to use it

@lai290 it is compatible. Why do you think it's this mod? I can tell you it's not making it incompatible, but maybe you know something I don't.

81 Tiles is incompatible with this, how to solve it??

@GenChadT Thank you sooo much! Been trying to find a fix to this for some time! I did have different file paths but it works!

!!! FYI IF YOUR GAME WON'T BOOT W/ THIS MOD !!!

If you are using Windhawk or a similar system patcher utility, you need to add your local Cities Skylines folder AND your Steam games folder to its exclusion list if it has one. In Windhawk it's Settings -> Advanced Settings -> More Advanced Settings.

My exclusion list looks like this but yours will probably differ:
C:\Users\MY-USERNAME\AppData\Local\Programs\Paradox Interactive\launcher-v2.2025.4\*
S:\Games\steamapps\*

Thx, It is working on MacM1

Thanks, Onyx

This still works, FYI Cities Skylines Community, Put in the comments of your favorite mods to say it still works, and make sure to pure for updates from the creators! Keep Cities Skylines 1 great!

This still works.

@Blinking Ice maybe skyve profile is broken, try resetting or creating new one in the skyve app and see if that changes anything.

@Krzychu1245 I found out by unsubscribing skyve, the problem is gone as well. But if both skyve and patch are installed and enabled then the problem remains. The content manager is somewhat wrong that way, don't know why, tried to figure it out.

@Blinking Ice I'm not sure what you mean by mod not working but log looks like the game is workign ok. No errors or important warnings. Are you sure you uploaded correct log file? You can completely delete it, the game will either create new one or replace after launching.

@Sydney6799 for some yes, for others not. It's not clear what is wrong. I don't have MacOS machine to test anything.

Mod seems to be broken for my reinstalled game setup on windows 11 platform, as long as this patcher mod is subscribed (and enabled), the new game button turns grayed out, and all maps and assets from content manager are missing, not any from base game or dlc, nor from subscribed if any.
Upon testing, the only subscribed and enabled mods are harmony and skyve, I tried deleting PatchLoader.Config.xml in setup folder and the fps booster gave me a fail to patch error, and the config regenerated. The next time I launch game there is no error, but new game button not clickable.
output_log seems fine. Any ideas what might have gone wrong?

Mod is broken for Mac users

Because of this mod and Skyve and Loading screen mod you guys have saved my game. I gave you a golden unicorn, lol. Thanks so much!!

@nopisingh what did you do? after the update when i launch from steam on mac os i get this message "“Cities.app” is damaged and can't be opened. You should move it to the Trash", even after changing launcher json. I also see a file added next to the lanucher called "launcher-installer-macos_2024.9" that def wasn't there before the update.

Scratch that. With further testing, it's working if I start a new game plus on some older saved games. Thanks for your work BTW!!

After the new update (on Mac) it doesn’t seem to work anymore. I did change the launcher json file after the update. There’s no error message but the game doesn’t load. Any suggestions? Not being able to use Skyve is getting me.

Thank you for your work Krzychu1245!

@cctlg it IS compatible. What you see is a generic message, generated based on date when mod was last updated. The game doesn't really know if something is compatible or not.

this mod isn't compatible with the updated version of cities skylines.

Okay I posted them on discord. Thank you again for helping me try to figure this out. I just can't understand how a few months ago everything worked just fine and now it don't especially since I haven't changed or added anything since the last time I played.

@Dark Lord yeah, I see steam doesn't like these links (awaiting analysis), so search for Krzychu124/FPS Booster channel/category, "krzychu-bug-reports" will be ok

I guess it won't let me post that many links here. Where on the discord page do I need to upload them?

I included every log file I could find. I re enabled everything and tried tried to load the game to no avail. the output log file is new because I tried to reload the game.

@Dark Lord could you post few more logs from <SteamFolder>\SteamApps\common\Cities_Skylines\Cities_Data\Logs? With "PatchLoader" in the name, "FPS_Booster" and "Skyve" if you find any.
It doesn't make sense the game cannot go further but knowing Steam and issues with servers from the past, some mod files could be left after you unsubscribe mods.

I waited for 15 minutes and nothing. The steam app shows it as running and it shows the steam launch window that says launching game. Then when the PDX launcher screen is supposed to show up it never does. Then Steam shows the game stopped running. I have even tried a solution I found online to bypass the PDX launcher and it still doesn't work. I have tried disabling all mods except for PLM and get the same results and as soon as I disable PLM it loads just fine. I have uninstalled and reinstalled the game and verified the files multiple times and nothing makes it work.

@Dark Lord no PDX launcher screen? You mean the screen in-game or the launcher app? Mods cannot block launching any application, that's impossible any mod could prevent from starting the pdx launcher. Please note that game might appear stuck when launching first time, it can take even more than a minute to see black intro screen (it's vanilla problem).
From the log you posted I clearly see it was loading stuff, but for some reason didn't end (unless you alt+F4 the game before seeing intro/menu stcreen)

When loading the game with PLM activated it only shows the Steam launch screen then that disappears and nothing else happens no Paradox launcher screen no main menu nothing.

@Dark Lord I don't see anything that would suggest the mod is preventing the game from loading. You don't seem to have FPS Booster or Skyve so Patch Loader doesn't do anything by itself.
By loading game you mean to the main menu or loading savegame? If it's a problem with loading savegame, then it's not what you did - the game didn't start loading anything other than mods, so looks like it shown the main menu screen at best otherwise the log would have some info which savegame you selected to begin loading.

https://drive.google.com/file/d/13wUpMVlErC09LnBd4YV_-lNyd_5mKuZj/view?usp=drive_link

alternatively via this discord server (you can find patch loader channel there) https://discord.gg/RRwAxnUTuH

@Dark Lord via link to some file hosting service (gdrive/dropbox/whatever else not blocked by steam), I don't remember which are blocked but first two mentioned should work

I found it how do I post it here?

@Dark Lord <SteamFolder>\SteamApps\common\Cities_Skylines\Cities_Data\output_log.txt (it's resetting contents every time you launch the game)

where is the output_log.txt file located and how do I post it here? I do have Discord if it would be easier to post it there.

@Dark Lord how can I reproduce the problem?
Can you at least post link to output_log.txt after session where it failed?

I stopped playing the game a few months ago and decided to play today and I have changed nothing since the last time I played and everything worked fine then. Now the game no longer loads and when I disable this mod everything loads just fine.

I'm not interested in what this mod does. I am just stating a fact and the fact is this mod prevents the game from loading.

I will clarify for you it does not work by itself or with Skyve enabled or disabled.

@Dark Lord if you use Skyve, disable and try again.
How many times I need to repeat that this mod is only processing patches provided by other mods?
So in your case game might be working because the mod that is using Path Loader is not working correctly or one of provided patches is bugged.

Please fix this mod!!! It absolutely DOES NOT WORK!!! I have removed this mod and the game loads perfectly fine but as soon as I enable it the game NO LONGER LOADS!

This mod works great, as intended.
Thank you!

@draco963 what you describe is not possible to be caused by this mod. This modification is only loading and applying patches from other mods like FPS Booster or Skyve . When you disable this mod, Skyve won't be able to manage assets and mods (enable, disable, skip, reorder etc.) which actually means it may not be a problem with this mod but probably issues with Skyve configuration.

@Krychu1245, this mod _appears_ to be causing an error with my subscribed assets. It was working fine, but yesterday my city wouldn't load properly. After t-shooting, I found there are about 4 dozen minor prop files still listed in Content Manager, but none of the rest of my 3000ish assets. When I disable this mod, everything comes back.

Happy to provide whatever you need to test this error.

When this mod is enabled, my game crashes when trying to load either a new or saved game. No error appears on screen. I know this mod is necessary in order for the FPS Booster to work but sadly the game won't load. I've had this mod for awhile and never had a problem so I'm trying to figure out if something I subscribed to recently is interfering.
