Jesus I didn't realize that getting the game to accept mods was going to be such a pain in the rear end. I needed to get a unity license and then I'm half way into installing visual basic or some poo poo because I have a notification that the modchain is broken and none of the mods I added were showing up before I found a post saying to ignore all that unless you're creating mods and to activate the playset, which I thought I had already done. At least the act of actually adding and activating the mods is really smooth.

Yea, it's not very clear that you don't need to install all of that in order to use mods.

To be fair I have no idea what any of that is from, I never saw anything about a “mod stack” or unity license to get my mods going. Is this some tutorial that implies that’s how you get mods?

Is this some tutorial that implies that’s how you get mods? If you go to Options, there's a line for "Modding" that's all about installing the mod toolchain, for developing mods (not using them). You'll only see it if you look through the options menu, but it's also ambiguous enough to catch even if you only want to get mods. It says "Toolchain state" at the top, but they should have just made it more clear that it's only for developing mods, and not "Modding" in general.

Yeah, basically just remember to activate your Playset and not just add mods to it and you'll be fine

So either CO or Paradox, whoever pulled the trigger, was in a great hurry to get the worst reviewed DLC on Steam out of the public eye. They killed it off in such a rush that now the poor sods that actually bought the DLC (versus just getting it from the Ultimate Edition) have it completely removed from their game and any saves that used those assets now show blank grey boxes. In response, CO updated the FAQ regarding this situation: https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/threads/faq-the-way-forward.1663862/ posted:Why am I unable to access assets from Beach Properties at the moment? So if things go bad (and why wouldn't they, everything else has) your save games are only going to be messed up for a couple weeks. I honestly hadn't even considered this as a possible way to screw up a refund.

the fun question is if a modder will be able to put out a fix for this faster than they can. I've heard people say the assets are built in to the game, and the DLC is just a license that lets you use the assets, but I'm not sure how true that is in this case. it's how DLC works for many other games, so it may just be possible. in either case: I would be so deeply embarrassed to be a software developer working at CO, the standards and processes they have are so outdated and pitiful

Lay out some streets and a few services, start zoning, hit "play" With 12 residents whose houses aren't even built yet, they immediately scream about high rent. What the gently caress is wrong with this dumb game.

Or at least actually have an interaction where the police department that's constantly driving up and down it tickets any private plate rather than ignoring them.

That would be lovely dystopian. All roads are service roads and the main income of the city is fining anyone with a car.

in the Fourth Stimpire, all motor vehicles run on civic fuel harvested from unloyal citizens, and electric vehicles are charged with the most painful kind of electricity. the punishment for not using your turn signal is for your nerves to be flayed, one centimeter at a time, until only your brain remains, whereupon it is placed into an Eternal Painsphere and hung from streetlights as an example to others

The key to cultivating a reputation of making the worst games ever involves more than just making a terrible game, anyone can do that. You have to also desperately try to save your brand by resorting to underhanded poo poo in broad daylight, causing a Streisand effect on it. It's what you would call the "secret sauce."

so, new patch dropped, including a fix for the beechfront properties dlc gray box issue, details here: https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/forum/threads/patch-notes-1-1-2f1.1670525/ I have no idea why the community manager said 2-3 weeks for a fix, and then they just drop a sizable patch a few days later, what the hell was the point in that. It doesn't seem like they rushed it or anything, its a big patch, where the heck did the extra 1-2 weeks come from

sometimes you just over-estimate the amount of story points a ticket requires  interesting official explanation for why the asset editor will be another several months: quote:The short explanation is that the Editor needs to import and package asset files in a way that does not require having Unity installed and access to the project itself, and the file format needs to be future-proof so assets created with the Editor are functional down the line too. As the Region Packs are to be released on Paradox Mods, they need this before they can released, while we can directly implement assets for DLCs. unfortunate but we'll get there i guess. by the end of this year all the gamer rage will probably have been forgotten i think. shame it will have taken a whole year to get back to where they should have been at launch though.

still playing High Rise City instead of CSL2, and I realized I sorta want the burgage plots from Manor Lords for my zoning needs. Grid-based zoning is honestly kind of outdated and i'd like to just be able to draw a polygon in which homes or whatever are built
