Alex I love you!

I'm glad you're liking the mod.

How would you install this mod outside of Steam?

The easiest way would be to grab it from a machine where it already was installed via Steam, and just put the files on another machine in the mod folder, as I am not planning on releasing already-compiled files outside of the Steam Workshop, as I'd then have to give support for manual installations as well. The mod won't work without the 3Dconnexion software installed, though.

On a machine where the mod was installed via the Workshop, you'll find it in one of the subfolders here:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content

"Normal" mods will be in these locations, and that's where you'd put the mod:
C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Cities_Skylines\Files\Mods
C:\Users\YOUR_USERNAME\AppData\Local\Colossal Order\Cities_Skylines\Addons\Mods

You'll figure it out.

I am looking to install this mod outside of steam as well, but really have no way to get it from a machine where it was already installed. I subscribed and copied the Cities install to the Steamapps/common folder thinking i could trick steam into installing the mod but that was really wishful thinking. Any other suggestions? Could i somehow compile the code myself?

Finally got around to this, but it works great. Thank you!
