My City suddenly isn't loading any more | City Planner Plays | Page 1

I have been working on this city for months and it was working fine until a few weeks ago when it stopped loading and started giving the error: Argument is out of range. Parameter name: index [System.ArgumentOutOfRangeException]

I have a fairly large mod list but have checked the Compatibility Report and nothing seems to be the obvious issue. Are there any steps I can take to try to get the city back? Mods that often cause this problem I might have? Is there any information/files I can put here to make finding the problem easier?

Please save my 300k+ population city from deletion

The following files are necessary to identify the cause of your issue(s):

Output / Player log
Windows (output_log.txt):
[steam folder]\steamapps\common\Cities_Skylines\Cities_Data\
macOS (Player.log):
~/Library/Logs/Unity/
Linux (Player.log):
~/.config/unity3d/Colossal Order/Cities: Skylines/

TM:PE logs
(TMPE.log)
Windows:
[steam folder]\steamapps\common\Cities_Skylines\Cities_Data\
macOS:
~/Library/Application Support/Steam/steamapps/common/Cities_Skylines > right-click and select "Show Package Options" (Yosemite users: "Open in new tab"). The log can then be found in the new tab: Contents/TMPE.log
Linux:
~/.config/unity3d/Colossal Order/Cities: Skylines/

Loading Screen Mod (LSM)

Compatibility Report
Step 1: Subscribe to the mod and look at the report it generates when launching the game, found at C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Cities_Skylines\Cities_Data by default.
Step 2: Unsubscribe from anything with "major issues" and check for up-to-date replacements of "mods you should or could unsubscribe."

I have gone through the compatability report and solved any major issues

#

it looks like you have some outdated mods, try uninstalling them and reinstalling them on the steam workshop, and see if that fixes it

Ok I will try this, does it say which mods in particular are old or should I just uninstall and reinstall them all?

#

after doing this I now get the error:

#

quiet nexus Apr 23, 2023, 2:31 PM

#

I tried Disabling and Re-enabling all of my mods and I got this error A Mod caused an error [System.Exception]

#

seems to be a problem with the Harmony Mod dependency and Extended Managers Library

#

After clicking OK I get a second error

#

#

Once again mentioning Harmony

#

Then after clicking OK again, I get a third error

#

Details:

Another Error, number 4

#

#

And that's all the errors I get

#

The last one mentions Tree Anarchy as well

UPDATE I was able to load a much older version of the city without problems, so it must be something wrong with my current save I am trying to load from.

After trying to load the latest save, I got a new error that I haven't seen before:

Did you check your compatibility report? Post it if you need help. Many errors are because of outdated mods or assets that have mods as dependencies. Posting the LSM report would help too.

Here is the LSM report

I wish I had an answer for you on this. Your mods seem fine as well does your assets.

quiet nexus Apr 24, 2023, 11:37 PM

#

my current theory is that there are too many trees (I've learnt too much from Phil), do you know of a mod that could just remove them all before loading?

real meteor Apr 24, 2023, 11:43 PM

#

Most the errors are from HideCrossWalk and Advanced Vehicle Options. No I don't know how to do that on purpose, most people right now are complaining that all their trees have disappeared.

quiet nexus Apr 24, 2023, 11:43 PM

#

I can remove both of those mods

#

I don't use them often at all

real meteor Apr 24, 2023, 11:44 PM

#

For some mods, you can't get remove them without save loading errors, but those two should be fine, but I think there is another problem causing all these but haven't been able to narrow it down.

quiet nexus Apr 24, 2023, 11:44 PM

#

I'll try that first

real meteor Apr 24, 2023, 11:44 PM

#

Sigh..too many butts

#

Only other thing I can think of in LSM Options is to try to recover from Simulation errors (bottom option) which you select prior to loading save

The weird thing about this is

It was fine for a few days after the update in late march

#

but then one day it broke

real meteor Apr 24, 2023, 11:58 PM

#

I'm sorry to say that I'm out of ideas. Most of the time checking mods & missing network assets resolve these types of issues. In this case, it is something with your save.

quiet nexus Apr 24, 2023, 11:58 PM

#

Thanks a lot for all the help tho

#

I will start a new city I think

#

and back it up regularly haha

real meteor Apr 25, 2023, 12:07 AM

#

I have autosave turned on, but I don't depend on it. I usually save a new map file every time I stop, and after any big map changes (usually before I make the change and then another afterwards) - Always change the number at the end. On one of my cities, I have over 400 save files but disk space is cheap.
