❗️ READ ME BEFORE POSTING! Monthly FAQ Thread: Fixes for Common Issues, Troubleshooting Guides, and Tips for Beginners Monthly FAQs
👋 Hello, welcome to /r/CitiesSkylines
Our little community has grown to over half a million subscribers, so as you can imagine things get a little busy in here. The purpose of this thread is to provide new members a jumping-off point to find the information that they need to get started, whether they're a seasoned player of the game or a brand new mayor.
We get a lot of posts which ask very similar questions, so we've pulled together this post to help address our most Frequently Asked Questions, and give you a place to ask simple questions which only need a quick answer, not warranting a dedicated thread.
Before you post, please consider if one of our sister-subreddits would be more appropriate:
/r/ShittySkylines - memes, reaction images, tenuous and obscure references, real-life photos that remind you of the game, and gags based on in-game activities like "a dead person is waiting for transport at shop-til-you-drop" all go here
/r/CitiesSkylinesModding - if you have a request for a mod, want to commission an asset, or need help with your own mod/asset/map creation it should be posted here
If you still think that /r/CitiesSkylines is the right subreddit, please first check the FAQ below.
Please be aware that if you create a new thread which is addressed by the answers or links in this thread, it will likely be removed with a message directing you back here. This is not done to stifle conversation, but rather to help keep the subreddit tidy and provide as much space as possible for mayors to share their creations and inspire others.
If your question is genuinely a simple one, like "how do I do X", please use this thread rather than creating a new post.
Finally, if your question isn't already answered below - please use Reddit's search function to try and find if your query has been asked and answered in the past. If not? Feel free to create a fresh discussion thread.
The format of this update thread has been simplified with core information rehosted on our subreddit wiki. This enables us to update the content more quickly and reliably, and to reduce the visual impact of a 2000+ word thread.

I managed to get all my mods in order after the update, put the game down, and now when I go back none of my custom surfaces are showing up in game. I can see Extra Assets Importer/Asset Packs Manager loading the surfaces on the main menu, but then when I load into my save the existing surfaces are gone and they aren't available in the surface menu or Find It. Anyone else encountered this/know a fix?

Is there a list of broken mods for CS2 after the new update? The game seem to be crashing, anarchy missing etc

Maybe we need to update the modding faq. It says asset mods may come in "finnish fall" 2024 and that's already behind us.

Most of Europe follows astronomical rather than meteorological seasons when casually referring to them, so it's not Winter for another few weeks (but either way it'll be out of date by next month's megathread, so good shout).

Roughly every other time I boot up Cities Skylines 2, the game doesn't seem to load in any workshop content. The Traffic tools do nothing, the Move It! button is missing, at startup there's a prompt telling me that the Road Builder custom roads are invalid, and my Region Pack buildings turn into gray boxes. The easy but boring fix is to shut down the game I just spent several minutes booting up, then spend several more minutes booting it up again. Is there any way to fix or work around this issue in a more permanent way?

Sounds like there's a UI crash, it can be caused by a mod conflict or an outdated mod. Are you using Skyve [BETA] to check for compatibility between your mods?

Not yet, but that seems like a good idea! I will try!
EDIT: Installed it, and have not encountered the issue on this boot-up of the game, so ... success?

I'm currently trying to mod City Skylines (not CS2) and most links I seem to find aren't updated for the 1.18.1-f3 game version. I've been having a hell of a time figuring out what mods are updated and work with the current version of the game. Everything I find including some links here seem to be out of date? Honestly I need help finding proper up to date mods because half of them, even Harmony (the mod most other mods seem to depend on) aren't updated or are dead. Any advice or suggestions? I'm new to the game and to modding City Skylines.
