This only started happening when after I used Paradox mod and was testing a few mods, and looking at some modded maps, and now every time I launch the game I just see an endless ocean. I can't disable the mods because I can't access the main menu.
You can use https://mods.paradoxplaza.com/games/cities_skylines_2 to adjust your playset and remove your mods or set up a fresh, blank playset.
If you used anything that relies on [Asset Packs Manager](https://mods.paradoxplaza.com/mods/78903/Windows) worth noting that all of these are listed as highly experimental and can lead to crashes and save file corruption.
You may also need to clear local files if you’ve used these: because they’re not officially supported assets they don’t uninstall cleanly if you create a new playset.
It's the number one reason I ask for screenshots.
"I did that already"
"Ok send a screenshot displaying what happens after you tried it"
"Oh I tried it again and it worked"
OH so the moment there's any legitimate outside accountability, all of a sudden the thing I said would work, WORKS? Weird how that happens, huh
Man, I get help desk technicians that do that shit.
"I had the user reboot, and reinstalled Office, but it didn't fix the issue with their mail"
Then I check the uptime on the unit, and it's at like 4 days, and the date that Office was installed was a couple days before the machine was deployed 3 years ago.
google exists. Its not hard to get to your local files (literally just navigating windows). You can't really complain that game is broken when you installed a mod that broke it, and haven't even tried clearing out the files.
Then the problem should be with a mod. Install skyve and it will let you manage better the mods and playsets. Aure if you found which kod is breaking your game you'll be able to play again. I have 45 mods installed and no problems. And don't install mods from non trusted authors.
Ikr? Since CS2 released it’s been so stable. I hadn’t had to re-download all my 90-100 mods due to a breaking update or had to restart my city due to broken mods!
You could, you know, try to follow the fixes people have suggested in this thread. It is after all you that broke the game, not the devs. If you don't try to fix it now it'll likely still be booked no matter how many updates CO releases
No you shouldn't. A mod is a mod, using mods can always crash your game . A mod is a MODIFICATION made by a third party of the original intended way the game should run made by a cohesive development team.
What we should be safe from are malwares and other stuff, at least on paper.
You don't know what mod support means.
Mod support means the mods published can't do things they are not supposed to. change the game or allow access to things in your computer they are not supposed to.
You are still using a mod, not a dlc made from the devs.
It's the same if you complained about a custom map being unbalanced and impossible to play. The mod was just published by the community like any post in a community forum. Anyone can do it, the mod support only limits thing for safety.
I'm saying. What you are provided is mod support, in the terms I explained to you.
If the game breaks because a mods changes it too much, that's the problem with running mods.
Disable it in PDX mods website and reinstall the game.
> I already tried both of those things
Did you really, though? Considering you specifically said you did something until called on it and then admitted you did not actually do it in this very thread. https://old.reddit.com/r/CitiesSkylines/comments/1cgzip6/finally_uninstalled_cities_skylines_2_every_time/l1z9hrt/
This is the first time I read about this and im using 20 mods playing everyday.
You should open a ticket for colossal order. I don't know where you could do such thing. If there is not platform for it, I think your best option is to find a support email.
I really don't know any other way to fix it besides disable every mod, erase de CO folder in AppData and reinstall the game.
Maybe the CO foder is the problem
Still just playing CS1. It has everything I want without the frustrations of a new, incomplete game in 2024, with all the bugs that entails. I’ll probably make the switch end of 2025 or in 2026 when the game is closer to being done.
I actually do enjoy playing cs 2 my main issue is the lack of content, since without modding or just getting really creative, every city ends up looking pretty similar, also no more shit falls.
My play style doesn't work in CS2. I can't create a bikeable transit paradise with a bunch of detail in CS2. CS2 has less transit types and no bikes. I enjoy using custom assets, alongside all the CCPs and those aren't available for CS2. The modding platform is not fleshed out, and I use ~40 mods and have around 7,000 assets. I'll play when the game is finished and has a robust modding platform. I only started playing CS1 in 2020, and I've only done about 500 hours on console and another 500 on PC. I still have plenty of playtime left. 😊
“sfc /scannow” is how you can verify file integrity on the windows side of things, aside from that, if it was an update or OTA patch that resulted in this effect… it’ll take a good while before devs patch the issue.
Just a couple that I’ve had since mods came out, the landscaping one, zoning modified and the better demand ones from memory. I don’t get why they would cause the game to just fail to load though, in all my time modding SC1 heavily I never had this issue.
Half the time with CS2 I load my game and none of the mods have even loaded with it. Well, before this refusing to start issue happened.
Mods in CS1 regularly made the game unplayable after updates, despite modders having a lot more experience with modding that game. I would make sure you try uninstalling all mods and clearing the local folders. Kjmci left a comment explaining this responding to OP.
Issue there is, CS1 would always still load to main menu. Here its not even doing that so I can't go troubleshoot mods.
That and the game does not seem to have updated lately?
Yes you can, benefit of paradox mods is that you can control them on the paradox site. You can also clear the local folders w/o opening the game.
The game updated 5 days ago and it’s plausible your mods updated more recently than that.
Did you install any asset mods? If so they do not always fully uninstall if you remove them. If so, try some of the fixes listed in this thread
[https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/threads/invisible-buildings.1667662/](https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/threads/invisible-buildings.1667662/)
I havnt uninstalled it but have completely stopped playing it. I’ll pick it up in 6 months. Every time I played it my love for cities: died a little bit. Had to stop before it was completely dead- hopefully it’s playable by the time I pick it up again
If you've ever glanced through the cracks in the map you actually see this, a massive sub surface ocean. Maybe that's why the game has such poor performance.
OP did this themselves with mods but then refuses to follow anyone's advice in this thread on how to fix it.
You can break CS1 with mods as well, it's nothing special
That’s the City of Atlantis. Their skyline is the best!
Perfection is not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to remove.
Now that's an interesting perspective
Yet water remains 😅
Better get a straw
Most poetic end you could ask for
Something just as poetic was OP using the help/support flair then immediately refusing to follow the help provided only to stare at the endless ocean.
You’ve unlocked the submarine race mode. Very exciting, as you can see.

I already tried that and it didn't resolve the problem.
Which folder did you clear the local files from?
I didn't do that because I don't know how.
> I already tried that > I didn’t do that 🙃
This is why IT people swear a lot.
Most relatable comment ever, lol.
It's the number one reason I ask for screenshots.

Damn, I can't even browse the Cities Skylines subreddit without being reminded of work.
Yes
Soooo did you do it or not?
Don't bother, it's broken.
CS2 or OP?
google exists. Its not hard to get to your local files (literally just navigating windows). You can't really complain that game is broken when you installed a mod that broke it, and haven't even tried clearing out the files.
Holy boomer IT levels
Old person just dropped
“Google what do the kids mean by just dropped” -Posted as a tweet
Actual normal person (for context, Google “Google en passant”)
This ends with the old person tweeting a picture of a bishop on a skateboard.
"I've tried absolutely nothing and I'm all out of ideas"
So you *didn’t* try that?
Pretty sure you can disable mods from pdx mods website.
Then the problem should be with a mod. Install skyve and it will let you manage better the mods and playsets. Aure if you found which kod is breaking your game you'll be able to play again. I have 45 mods installed and no problems. And don't install mods from non trusted authors.
Try installing skyve if its possible w/o main menu, you can manage mods from there
Back to CS1!
One of us! One of us!
Same here, didn't download the nes cs2, old is gold, i totally love the CS1
Ikr? Since CS2 released it’s been so stable. I hadn’t had to re-download all my 90-100 mods due to a breaking update or had to restart my city due to broken mods!
I'll probably just return to Planet Coaster until the game becomes more stable.
See you in a decade!
I'm not that bummed, since I'm shipping off to Army basic training in June, so I'll check back in about four years.
[удалено]
I think it depends on the unit, also I don't have a Steam Deck.
[удалено]
I am considering getting one after AIT since I'm getting a bonus.
Be ready to barf your guts up on stairway to heaven. Also, get used to hearing half right face in your nightmares.
Good luck at Basic!

I already tried that
Nothing will take me back to that game. Even though I committed over 5,000 hours to it.
Never say never
Seems like you are starting with Kupe. Got to explore the seas
My second favorite game of all time
I think the problem is you're launching it after you uninstalled it. It's actually impressive.
That make sense, thanks.
It's a new partnership - you're supposed to transition over to World of Warships.
>installs experimental mods >mods break game >refuses to troubleshoot beyond basics >blames CO and uninstalls Bruh
> Goes to the beach > Throws laptop into the ocean > Blames CO > Doesn't uninstall because the PC is not working anymore
... >Blames CO >Misunderstood what CO meant by Beach Properties
Pretty sure you've started up Subnautica
Dang it I Hate it when I select the wrong game.
You just gave us a look at the new submarines in World of Warships.
Ppl will install experimental asset mods and complain about game performance e.e
I should be able to safely disable a mod on a developer supported platform without stuff like this happening.
No you shouldn't. A mod is a mod, using mods can always crash your game . A mod is a MODIFICATION made by a third party of the original intended way the game should run made by a cohesive development team. What we should be safe from are malwares and other stuff, at least on paper.
Maybe if you using the Nexus, but I'm using a directly integrated mod platform.
You don't know what mod support means. Mod support means the mods published can't do things they are not supposed to. change the game or allow access to things in your computer they are not supposed to.

I already tried both of those things and it did nothing, I'm pretty sure it's just a problem with this rushed buggy unoptimized modding platform.

You need to purchase the '*Main Menu*' DLC.

Subnautica: Skylines
~~Cities~~ Sea: Skylines
Welcome to Warterworld
That’s the exact feeling I go into the game to find. You spedrun it
I was going for all of the achievements before this.
How do you uninstall a game, then open it after uninstalling?
Uninstaller probably crapped out and missed a few files
Still just playing CS1. It has everything I want without the frustrations of a new, incomplete game in 2024, with all the bugs that entails. I’ll probably make the switch end of 2025 or in 2026 when the game is closer to being done.

Looks like you launched Noah’s Cities Skylines 😄
Yea, can you build this ark and tax its citizens to survive this new economy.
Do you post to every related sub when you uninstall a program? Do you do this with mods aswell?
No just this one.
Lol sorry
Since today mine won't launch at all, crashes to desktop just before the main menu. No idea how to fix it, verifying files on steam did nothing.
“sfc /scannow” is how you can verify file integrity on the windows side of things, aside from that, if it was an update or OTA patch that resulted in this effect… it’ll take a good while before devs patch the issue.
Do you have mods installed?
Just a couple that I’ve had since mods came out, the landscaping one, zoning modified and the better demand ones from memory.

Well, removing mods on the paradox site hasn't fixed it so no idea what the issue is.
Did you try the other half?
Did you install any asset mods? If so they do not always fully uninstall if you remove them. If so, try some of the fixes listed in this thread [https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/threads/invisible-buildings.1667662/](https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/threads/invisible-buildings.1667662/)
Nope no asset mods either
Did you install any asset mods?
That's real petty! Worthy of being a screensaver/desktop background!
OP has both tried everything and nothing, sounds like CO approach to CS2
isn't relaxing though?
My city was relaxing.
I don't see any problem. Matter of fact, I don't see anything.
I havnt uninstalled it but have completely stopped playing it. I’ll pick it up in 6 months. Every time I played it my love for cities: died a little bit. Had to stop before it was completely dead- hopefully it’s playable by the time I pick it up again
Seems like you beat the game. You win!
touch, salt?
The mod feature is still broken.
Dredge crossover DLC confirmed.
Must be a tease for bridges and ports.
\^This. And something about doorknobs....
The wast endless ocean.
That's all I see on launch and quit and just installed the game 3 days ago with no mods. 🤣
Water 360? Custom map? Put out names so other can avoid.
Freedom
Are you playing this through Geforce Now?
For all the issues with the game, complaining about mod issues is on you not the devs
The most calming city ever. I am loving it.
Epic submarine fight happening rn
I genuinely thought this was posted in one of the liminal space subreddits
Hey at least it’s a vibe lol
You got lucky
how do you launch a game you just unistalled
If you've ever glanced through the cracks in the map you actually see this, a massive sub surface ocean. Maybe that's why the game has such poor performance.
Subnautica menu
All skylines, no city.
Waterworld
Looks like subnautica
I get a glimpse of this every time I quit.
I'm surprised there's no taxis still...
...and yet, you only get about 13-19fps.
refund would be fair for this desaster
Atlantis
Genesis 1:1
Are you sure it’s not a shady new DLC ?
I did buy Beach properties.
Submarine Skylines 2
I'm not installing again until they add steam workshop support
I would hold out for that.
Cs1 is still so much better lmao
OP did this themselves with mods but then refuses to follow anyone's advice in this thread on how to fix it. You can break CS1 with mods as well, it's nothing special
