Looking for Saves! Perf & Building Issues

If it can be reproduced in your savefile then yes, upload it.

I think I just fixed it, probably it was the gongs that each triggered a seperate attack each day, often even at the same time. Removing them seems to have stopped the attacks. If you’d like, I can provide a safe with the gongs still there, but those also have two mods, but I doubt those have any influence on it

I’d still like to take a look at the savefile just in case :thinking:

Alright, here’s a link to the drive where you can get the save.

I just noticed you guys rolled out an opdate in which you limited the render distance of lights and I can actually play my city in night above 20fps! :smiley:

You guys have no clue how happy this makes me xD

Edit:
Now that I look at it, I think it was my game bugging out as now it’s back to all the lights again at every distance xD

The maximum lights setting in the graphics menu has been around forever, and it will cause the game to only render the closest lights up to the specified number. For lit af cities, lowering that (and shadow count) should give a significant FPS boost.

Ohhhh, I probably should have done this sooner xD

You guys still looking for saves? I may have something that’s starting to get a bit annoying when building larger builds

Yes, please share the savefile. Not sure how much can be done but perhaps we find something new.

What kind of issue are you having? Lag? Idleness?

1 Like

It’s in regards to lag. Lately I’ve been doing rather big builds, to the point where I have to break up the build in different templates to prevent it from lagging (freezing if anything) everytime I try to place a block.
And the recolour tool is the worst of all xD

Within this save, I use a rather large amount of mods, I can give a list of the mods I use, though I don’t think I’ve made anything with the mods yet, and I know this also tends to happen in unmodded games…

So, do you want the save with the mods?

Yes, we can find them in the workshop and load the savefile with them if needed (the game will show us the list of mods).

Were you actively using a modded biome or faction in that savefile? Did you use modded items in that large building? (just to estimate which mods are really needed in order to load the savefile).

I am using a sort of modded biome (I suppose that’s the best way to describe it xD). It’s the skylands mod made by Bruno, though that changes the generation of the vanilla biomes… So technically I’m playing a vanilla biome that’s been modded… I guess? xD
As for the build, currently only vanilla items and blocks

Anyways, in the link below I’ve send the latest save I have. You’ll notice that I broke up the build I’m doing into several different segments already, and (if you look at it from the front) I am working on a wing on the right, though I know the front segment as well tends to lag severely xD

It’s the rar labelled ‘Havarti.rar’

So, I have two buildings that I could only build with IB. For some reason there was something invisible where I wanted to build that prevented me from building there. But I was building a huge city wall so I couldn’t just move it. There are two buildings like that in this file. They are bright red (but built) in the city builder.

Hello,

I’m getting CTD (crash to desktop) right after i click an icon from the UI.
Last thing i was doing was mining gold.
Using only ACE and ds_template from Steam Workshop.
Was also getting huge lag on opening UI element after some hours of play. (i think mainly because enemies couldn’t reach me, but may be related to playing with Water)

Here is a building issue. My third attempt at a building. I tried to build it with only windows and doors installed originally. Suddenly everyone stopped working on it. The building design says that I have 0/15 tall windows with a blue dot (still haven’t figured out what blue dot is and that is something that is IMPORTANT to know) I actually have one window with blue dot… I have attempted to delete and replace windows and that doesn’t work. I have delete the door thinking that may be the problem but it wouldn’t disappear. Please help! Thanks!

nevermind wouldn’t allow me to upload file but seems like this program should be fixed now. Been building houses since early 2000s in the sims. seems like it out to be pretty simple stuff. If building gets stuck then have it autocomplete already. this is really killing gameplay.

I think the blue dot you’ve seen could be a Fine Quality version of that window, if it looks like a blue diamond. In the builder menu it lets you use them in your design if you have even just one in your inventory, but the builder doesn’t show you how many you have available. Making them is also a random chance from your crafter, its a trait that they get around level 3, and then later they also get to make Excellent quality items randomly (pink gem symbol). If you use them in your building design you will have to make a large amount of that item with your crafter until they produce enough of that quality.

Alternately, when you design the building just choose the basic quality of that item (eg. tall window), and if you have the Fine or Excellent on hand they can sometimes put that in place anyway. It would be handy if the builder menu showed the number on hand of those decorations, or construction items when designing a building, but unfortunately it doesn’t. Look at this pic to see what I’m referring to:

Thanks! Rebuilding using standard tall windows seemed to fix the issue.
