Request: Not load all the new props from the last couple of free updates
The last couple of DLC patches introduced a bunch of props, but it consumed a lot of memory. Is there any way to not load them and therefore not consume RAM ?

I do make my own park assets and do use the occasional prop, like park bench or tree, but am quite happy with those that were available prior to the ParkLife DLC.

I'm just hoping that there's someway if not loading these new props, giving me some memory back and hopfully putting a bit extra performance back into my game.

@mbutton15 This feature is now being tested (the [Test] version of this mod). Sorry for the late reply.

Just read the latest description on the the main released version - does following 'Guide: How to skip prefabs' allow me to achieve the above or is it still in development ?

@mbutton15 Yes, prefab skipping achieves what you requested. By the way, if saving RAM is your main objective then it is more efficient to skip unnecessary buildings. They consume more RAM than props.

The primary goal was just to get RAM down to what it was before those releases came out. Whether that will help performance or not, I do not know. I do only have 8GB RAM but still have 1GB+ free once Cities:Skylines is running. All I really know is performance has dropped and I quite often read in threads people suggesting increasing RAM as a way to improve performance. So as I said at the end of my OP I'm hoping that by using less RAM in the first place is an alternative way to look at it and it will give me a performance gain. I suspect I've misunderstood what's been suggested and that it will have no such effect.
