I got this to hide the tooltips box. Which it does. It works during the game selectors. Roads, Props, Buildings. But not with "Move It".

Since the new patch did not change the mechanism of picking, the selector also did not change. It works just fine for me. It should be other mod interference or outdated mod versions. Looking for mods in a stable combination? Check modlist compatible with the latest software version (Hubs & Transport patch (1.16.1 f2)

Suddenly not working for me :(

Anyone confirm if this works with Cities: Skylines 1.16.0-f3?

Transparent Selectors is fully compatible with Plazas & Promenades DLC.


Please follow the Plazas & Promenades DLC Compatible modlist.

Hey men, i get so annoyed from the tooltip "Construction cost".... this was blocking all the time my measurement. Thanks for the mod!!! I am realy happy to all what i see from now on :)

I am a permanent subscriber of Toggle it and TS along with Move it! I am happy with the level of transparency and I can change it.

You are right: if you unsubscribe from TS, the blue color around the building/network has to be solid.
Nucity Feb 16, 2022 @ 7:05am 
@StayHungryStayFoolish I have the original Move it, and the mod I'm subscribed to doesn't have any option to change the selection transparency. I unscripted the TS and when I opened the game the selection lines were solid with no transparency option. I believe you can see transparency because you are subscribed to TS, if you unsubscribe, the selection will be solid again. If Move It or Toggle iT has a setting to change the selection transparency, let me know where it is because I can't find it.
StayHungryStayFoolish Feb 15, 2022 @ 1:50am 
@Nucity You say: "there is no Toggle It setting that interferes with the transparency of the selection." You are right Toggle it! mod removed the tool color setup for Move it in version 1.8, I did not follow that.

I still have no problem with Toggle it, and I use the same time Transparent Selector and it has a pretty nice color, not too bright, but visible, I like it. I could not reproduce your case.
Nucity Feb 14, 2022 @ 1:23pm 
@StayHungryStayFoolish there is no Toggle It setting that interferes with the transparency of the selection. I only mentioned this mod because it was the only one that updated before the problem started, so I believe it's TI, but it could be something else.
StayHungryStayFoolish Feb 11, 2022 @ 3:02pm 
@Nucity check your Toggle it! setup since you can hide Move It! tool coloring. Transparent Selectors trying to override, this is why you see and then you do not see it.

hi @StayHungryStayFoolish Thanks for replying, I actually wrote more than five words in my comment below, but no one responded.

"For some reason it is not working properly. What happens is the following: Every time I use Move It, it becomes visible again when I hover over the object, however, only the objects selected with Move remain transparent, but the configuration in the panel remains selected "transparent" . This started happening after a Toggle It! update, I don't know if it's related or not."

I will be happy if you can help me, thanks.

Working perfectly for me, with MoveIt and a whole host of other widely-used mods, with Airports DLC and all the others. Thanks very much for creating this super useful mod! :steamthumbsup:
StayHungryStayFoolish Feb 7, 2022 @ 3:29pm 
@Nucity I can help you, but 5 words do not explain your problem. Can be more exact?
Nucity Feb 7, 2022 @ 3:01pm 
not working with Move It
RubyRobbins Jan 29, 2022 @ 9:55am 
@StayHungryStayFoolish Sorry I'm just seeing your reply now. Thank you, I'll try your suggestion.
StayHungryStayFoolish Jan 23, 2022 @ 3:35pm 
@RubyRobbins I recommend going to Option menu / Transparent Selector and setting Overlay Alpha below 20%. Then you will get the same result.
RubyRobbins Jan 23, 2022 @ 3:00pm 
This has stopped working for me. It no longer stays 'transparent' It's starts off transparent, then changes back after around 5-10 minutes.

Use Ploppable Asphalt + (Loading time Fix)! Do not forget to keep PA+, but disable it! More mods are available in a compatible list, here.

@andysec18 - use the mod options to change the intensity of the selector ... The one of the two sentences that make up the description mentions that feature ...
andysec18 Jul 31, 2020 @ 1:48pm 
I loved the concept but it's almost invisible and if I'm selecting a prop there's no way to know whether I'm selecting the prop I want or any other prop in the area because when I want to place/select props the camera moves me too far away to the point that street signs almost look like dots...

Thank you!!!!
Rhonin Nov 17, 2019 @ 3:47pm 
A toggle shortcut please please please :)
baronjutter Jul 17, 2018 @ 4:55pm 
This makes placing parking lot props so much easier, I can see the thin painted lines now!!
Ivanish May 22, 2018 @ 12:54am 
Ha! I was fiddling around creating a park or two yesterday and I was getting pretty annoyed with how much the selector ring was in the way. Great mod, thanks a lot!
en3he Feb 20, 2018 @ 6:11am 
very good thank you :eaglegrin:
ChrispyNut Feb 17, 2018 @ 7:22pm 
Thanks for your work, this is great, however I'd like to add to the list in requesting some method (keyboard shortcut, if there are any left), button or something to quickly switch between 100%, 50% & 0% transparency, would really pop the proverbial cherry on the cake.
Regardless, this is still a nice improvement to the game, so thank you (again). x
Quboid Jan 11, 2018 @ 5:15pm 
Feature request: holding control makes the selectors invisible. It would be nice to keep them visible except for when lining up something with Move It.
vanishedelephant Dec 30, 2017 @ 12:23pm 
This is super helpful, thanks! <3

A slider in options to set amount of transparency? Also, an option to make transparent after a short delay (so fully opaque while selecting stuff, but then it fades while moving stuff)?
Brasse Jul 30, 2017 @ 3:15pm 
A toggle shortcut would be awesome. I really prefer low opacity but this also makes it difficult to se what's selected when using Move It.

nice idea :) thanks and LIKE :steamhappy:

@AquilaSol Thanks :D
AquilaSol May 18, 2017 @ 11:57am 
@Ronyx69 So far Decal Hover Area, Sharp Textures, Ploppable Asphalt, Shadow Strength Adjuster, Decal Prop Fix, Theme Decals and Transparency LODs Fix + Cloud Assets Enabler all work perfectly for me. :)
Ronyx69  [author] May 18, 2017 @ 11:44am 
@AquilaSol Yeah it's hella simple. I'm just now gonna test all the mods I have properly.
AquilaSol May 18, 2017 @ 11:36am 
Works fine with 1.7.0 and Mass Transit. :)
Ronyx69  [author] Apr 13, 2017 @ 4:02pm 
@Tronald Dump Well not sure but this mod only starts doing stuff when you load the actual game.
LewdCat4Sale Apr 13, 2017 @ 4:01pm 
Yeah it loads to the start up but the colossal orders logo is just stuck, that's what I mean by not launching.
Ronyx69  [author] Apr 13, 2017 @ 3:52pm 
@Tronald Dump Weird, not launch in what way, can't open it or freezes during load time? Because my game freezes completely for 2 minutes while loading sometimes, I thought it wouldn't load at all but it did after a while, unrelated to any specific mod though.
LewdCat4Sale Apr 13, 2017 @ 3:46pm 
I think this makes my game not launch anymore. That or I have trojan virus.
hardin Apr 13, 2017 @ 4:03am 
Haha this is awesome, a week ago I started looking around for a mod that did exactly this - and here it is :D thank you! amazing job, keep it up
lys_knight Apr 12, 2017 @ 5:57am 
Perfect !!
pdelmo Apr 12, 2017 @ 5:17am 
Love this Ronyx. The construction bar was a real pain. You are the man!!
AmiPolizeiFunk Apr 12, 2017 @ 3:35am 
you just made my life a helluva lot easier THANK YOU :medkit:
Ronyx69  [author] Apr 12, 2017 @ 3:09am 
@sloth :D I had this on my list for way longer than that though, a couple days before the curbs were released. @Big Bad Nonja I know what it is :D just was asking about the specific conversation.
Big Bad Nonja Apr 12, 2017 @ 2:47am 
@Ronyx69. Discord is similar to TeamSpeak. Has a modern GUI. Looks similar to the Spotify webapp. Features comparison here > https://discordapp.com/features

@ronyx 2 days ago I made a comment in the cities skylines reddit discord server that a mod like this would be awesome :P
Madeushipurpants Apr 12, 2017 @ 2:27am 
i have been waiting for something like this forever. when placing fence or any small props this mod will save so much headache
