This was very helpful for testing - it changed my CPU strategy, as I was surprised how well this Unity game used all 8 cores, plus I found a big impact from some LOD mods.

None of them are stable anymore. SH has killed them all. This will stable out after a while, but half of my jobs are abandoned. Maybe I can clean it up so there isn't so much abandoned buildings?

I have other smaller cities with fewer agents and only about half agents on the map. If that helps any? Springfield AD-3.1.1 on my workshp page.

Doesn't matter which city; we're just looking for a stable set of test cities where we can compare vanilla vs. TMPE. It's looking increasingly likely that we're going to rewrite the pathfinder from scratch (even if just to fix the parking AI bugs), so testing on vanilla cities is going to become routine.

Of this exact city? or different cities? I lost most of them in a backup from this game locking them in hidden folders. But I should have a few somewhere in my many different backups.

@Mark do you have smaller versions of this city, say around 250k, 70k, etc?

This savegame just became "official" performance testing city for TM:PE. Hopefully it will help us track down slow bits of TMPE and help us improve performance of the mod so it has less impact on fps.

Yes, this game won't allow more than about 30 FPS zoomed in, no matter your rig. Workshop will lower it, especially ai mods and graphic enhancing mods.

Hi guys, thanks to the author for the test save =) I'm using a 2700x, 32gb 3ghz, rtx 2060. FullHD.

Here are my stats:
Noworkshop+nodlc: zoomed in low settings: 30fps and 21fps max settings
zoomed out: about the same fps, a little bit higher.

With my mods (about 25) and assets (about 400 workshop entries, 1000unpacked)
I got about the same fps at max settings, about 20 zoomed in. The LOD is really what makes a difference here.

I was kind of pissed to have invested this much in a new processor and graphic card for not a lot gain in fps, but seeing that everyone get the same 20fps zoomed in I know that it's the game the problem and not my pc. :-)

Hope this was helpful

and with -noWorkshop -disableMods flags set, save file is actually quite fluid and reasonably smooth, definitely playable with i7 2670qm 16GB SRAM GTX 560

Yes, it will drop. The city was saved almost 3-years ago and had a half dozen or so updates since. It will even itself out after a year or so, if it doesn't collapse, but it will still fluctuate on population and income constantly.

This is a second save, as it is, since the old save would collapse immediately and go abandoned from traffic AI changes from a DLC release around this time.

its working good but population dropping. It dropped to 650k in 1 minute

Yes, you can open it. Not sure how smooth it will be. but it will work.

my pc:
i5 7500
1050ti
16gb ram
can i open it lol

nice test map!

2700X + 16GB DDR4 3466 Cl14 + GTX 1080Ti
max settings 1080p
dynamic resolution 300%
tree lod fix ultra

-> 25fps+ playing and flying around
-> 15fps with lod toggler ON O_O

This game uses no workshop. Probably why it runs well. But DLC should affect anything, but system ram. But it doesn't use much but base game DLC.

I used 25-tile unlocker, but they aren't needed once unlocked, as the inner 25-tiles are meant to be unlocked.

Guys, literally just tested this City with every single DLC installed and 15 mods plus about 256 assets. All of the settings where on high and I never dropped under 19 FPS zoomed in, I was actually heavily surprised. Zoomed out my FPS ranged from low to mid 20s---so not terrible. I'm running a 1060 GTX 3 gig i7 processor 16GB RAM. Good stress test city, I didnt think it would run for one reason or another but I was good to go. I'm not sure what the issue is with some people...I imagine a mod that conflicts with another, especially if you have a nice pc. Check this spread sheet made by AquilaSol and Avanya, incredibly helpful, and kept updated for mods https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1mVFkj_7ij4FLzKs2QJaONNmb9Z-SRqUeG6xFGqEX1ew/edit#gid=1433988367

Sounds like you launched the game with workshop installed. Try temporarily disabling workshop with the -noWorkshop flag and test your FPS.

getting 3 fps when zoomed and 6 when zoomed out.... amd fx 8350 ( 8 cores x 4.2ghz) and amd r9 280 12 gb ram

yes, I posted this city specifically as a stress test benchmark.

I need to update it as it collapses from many expansions and DLC releases altering game play.

but it still works well for testing

This was super useful for testing how my system would do with a much larger city. Pretty cool to see such an elaborate setup too, especially at night. Thanks for posting.

It usually a combination of smog, cloud, and/or rain. No workshop as well. You can add things like no cloud/fog and graphics mods to make them look better.

Just wondering, is that the lighting settings, or is your city just that smoggy?

This has no mods at all. The only one was 25-tiles unlockable, but that mod can be removed after you're done unlocking your tiles you want.

As this is modded, you could list the necessary mods and DLCs in the workshop.
