THIS Is How You Install Mods in Cities Skylines

today we're diving into a beginner's guide on how to mod City skylines there are a couple of ways to search the workshop for mods obviously you can use the steam launcher and search through the city skylines Workshop by coming over to your library and clicking on workshop for me personally though I don't feel like this is the best experience for browsing especially with multiple tabs a lot of mods require dependencies that we'll get into later so for me it's much easier to come into my browser and just use the tab method remembering the URL for the city skylines Workshop is a pain so I've created the simulation.com cities Workshop this will take you directly to the steam site where you can view and search through all of the mods it's usually a best practice especially if you're new to modding to only add one or two mods at a time especially when you don't necessarily know how every mod works so to search for a mod it's obviously very simple just search for the mod on the city skyline Steam Workshop once you've found the mod you want to install go ahead and click on it from the search results and you'll see down here that you can subscribe to the mod so the movement mod is a great one to start with because it doesn't have any depend Tendencies now if a mod has a dependency that simply means that it has another mod that is required in order for it to work correctly so for this mod ploppable Rico Revisited 2.5 it does require an additional mod in order for it to work if it requires any other item it will display down here under required items and this one requires the harmony mod dependency the dependencies are required for the mod to work correctly but they usually don't take up too many more additional resources and you don't really have to configure them in any way once they're enabled in the game so to add them onto your game it's extremely simple if you're not subscribed to a mod you will see a button right here that says subscribe it'll have a little plus where I have the little check mark once you have subscribed to the mod and any dependencies it may require jump back over to your steam library and open up your game now once you're in the city skylines launcher you're not going to want to hit resume just because you've subscribed to a mod doesn't mean it's automatically enabled what we need to do from this point is hit play once you've loaded into City's skylines what we need to do from this point is open up the content manager now if you've used this tutorial to add assets your assets do usually Auto enable and you can find those simply by clicking on assets but because this tutorial is about mods we need to go to the mods section now if you have quite a bit of mods one of the easiest ways to sort them is to come by sort by and choose enabled and from that point choose descending this is going to show usually your most recently added mods or at least all of the mods that haven't been enabled yet so for this tutorials example let's say we did install that recode Revisited mod all we need to do if we can't see it up here is search for Ricoh Revisited and as you can see by just typing in a few letters we already have the result that we're looking for in order to ensure that a Mod's enabled all we need to do is make sure that the box is blue instead of being grayed out but wait hold up if you remember just a minute ago we talked about the mod dependencies and for Rico Revisited it was the harmony mod dependency to search for that all we need to do is check and make sure that Harmony is enabled from that point all all we need to do is head over and load into our game and ensure that our mod is working so once you've enabled the mod and loaded into the game you should be able to see the new icon or the new features that the mod enables so for this example we were using ploppable Rico Revisited and this icon is right down in the bottom right corner of the screen so we're pretty much good to go there now if you ever want to change mod settings you don't necessarily have to back out to the main menu of your game you can click the settings in the top right corner click options and find the mod that you want to change some of the settings for so from this point on it's all about testing and playing with your newly installed mods and last but not least I want to point out that when you want to delete a mod fully from your game let's say for example a patch has come out and it has broken a mod you need to completely remove the mod from your game not just deactivate it to do that all you would need to do is disable the mod by making sure this box is gray not blue and then you can click on the city skylines Workshop from here and you can unsubscribe by just clicking unsubscribe that will completely remove the mod from your game because remember just disabling a mod does not delete the files associated with the mod from your game anyway guys thank you for watching this video and if you're curious how to make your neighborhoods look more realistic be sure to check out this video in the top right corner of the screen where we go over how to use mods to create cul-de-sacs for realistic neighborhoods and City skylines
