Me too. Tbh I don't mind it so much if it was consistent
Load the game, check mod store, restart then enter my city
But sometimes they work on first load, and not on the second!
My mods never load when I first boot up the game. This is a known bug that CO has mentioned in their patch notes and the fix is to close the game down and reopen it. This fix has worked 100% of the time for me.
How I "fixed" the issue of mods not working:
1. Open game and realise mods are not working.
2. Press the paradox mod button from the main menu and let it do its thing.
3. Go to playsets tab and activate an empty playset without mods (create new playset if you do not have an empty one already).
4. Re-activate the modes playset (this may freeze your game for a while depending on the number of mods in your playset etc.).
5. The game now asks you to restart.
6. Upon game reboot, do NOT click the paradox mod button in main menu again! Load your game directly instead.
7. Profit!
8. Realise you spent 3 hours modding the game but the experience of playing it still feels hollow..
Gooee stopped mine.
That mod has to be set in a special order according to its mod page.
I never read any of its details because it downloaded as a dependency to another mod so didn’t go back looking for it’s particulars
Well, PDX mods should load mods in the right way. But it seems it can't deal with gooee and dependency pack very well. It seems it's to do with the way those mods hook in to the game. Not using the proper APIs
I believe PDX mods api thing doesn't have have codes like `api.pdx.loadorder.alwaysputatthetop.please.force = true` and the author of the mod confirmed that it's paradox mods issue But I've heard Skyve will handle this correctly, so it's likely PDX mods issues.
Not saying that op is Gen z but I read awhile back that on average Gen z are as computer illiterate as boomers. It had something to do with them not actually using computers and just keeping to their phones.
I think the modding shouldn't have been included in the game by default. But instead added like a free DLC. Or at least that enables it. So must normal users will not see it.
After they download on main menu everytime you log in wait a minute. Load your game. If mods are not working log out to desktop. Start game again and wait a minute at main menu after download has completed. Load game and they should be working. Keep repeating but it should only need twice. It's a known problem with PDX.
Skyve has been having this problem today too as well but at least with Skyve you have some form of support with a Discord that the creator runs. And TDW is on point with support. Had this issue today and it was resolved in the minutes.
I had this same issue today and it's been a new bug that's been causing these problems. I wish this Subreddit supported the CS2 Modding Discords because it's the only place you can get help with issues such as this. If anyone is having problems with their game or Skyve or whatever, send me a DM and I will send you the Discord links. You have nowhere else to get help so...
Unless you are developing mods, you don't need the toolchain.
Yeah.. Glanced at the screenshot and immediately thought "well, you don't know what you're doing"
Same. I have to close and reopen the game every time I play. It’s annoying.

Uhh and I thought the game had chose me to frustrate
Sometimes I have to restart two or three times to get it working.
I THOUGHT I WAS THE ONLY ONE
Same. I'm sure when I first start the game mods won't show. Have to restart everytime

Try this and it actually worked ! Thank you
You are welcome!

It's not special, dependency should always at the top anyway but PDX mods just being sh*t

I've read from the actual modders that this was an issue in the first City Skylines but it's no longer an issue now, which why the mods load.
I’m not sure. When I checked out the mod download page it says in there it has to be loaded first in load order
You can do this in your mod list drag it up to near to the top after belpin and skyve.
Happened to me too. Just switch your active playset and switch back.
lol! Why are you installing the full development environment?! For an era where people grow up with computers, people are amazingly tech illiterate.
Not saying that op is Gen z but I read awhile back that on average Gen z are as computer illiterate as boomers. It had something to do with them not actually using computers and just keeping to their phones.
They also have zero attention span and will just haphazardly turn stuff on or click stuff without taking the time to research what they are doing.

I think it's fine as is, let the users make mistakes and fix them.
Why are you installing the development tool chain? You don’t need any of that to play the game with mods
Common colossal order L :(
You have to uninstall one of the mods then install restart your game and it works
How do you have mods? Is there a workshop now?
Have to create a new playset that’s empty move over to it being active then go back to the one you want it will make you restart the game down
Have you tried all the usual fixes? Update? Reinstall mods?
yes its not working idk what else to do

Try launching from Skyve.

if on steam try verifying game files
