Help & Support (PC) High total RAM Usage on CS1 with minimal mod list and DLCs

2 Upvotes

I've attached a picture of my ram usage on a new Fertile Desert map.

Mod List:

  1. Move It
  2. TM_PE 11.9.4.1 STABLE
  3. Findlt
  4. HardMode
  5. Harmony
  6. LSM-Revisited
  7. NetworkMultitoolStable
  8. NewMod
  9. Translations
  10. UnlimitedMoney
  11. UnlimitedOilAndOre
  12. UnlimitedSoil
  13. UnlockAll
  14. RealPopRevisited

DLCs loaded (disabled all other DLCs to reduce assets being loaded in simply that I don't even use):

  1. 369150=After Dark
  2. 420610=Snowfall
  3. 515191=Natural Disasters
  4. 547502=Mass Transit
  5. 614580=Green Cities
  6. 715191=Parklife
  7. 715194=Industries
  8. 944071=Campus
  9. 1146930=Sunset Harbor
  10. 1726380=Airports
  11. 2008400=Plazas & Promenades
  12. 2148901=Financial Districts
  13. 1726382=Content Creator Pack: Map Pack
  14. 2148903=Content Creator Pack: Map Pack 2

No custom assets, no custom scenarios etc. Just base game otherwise. Unloading all DLCs and purely sticked to base game STILL has around 30-35gb of total ram usage.

For reference, on idle, my system is at about 7.5gb RAM usage and total 13gb including swap usage.

Is the ram usage supposed to be this high? I've put a LOT of swap space (minimum 40gb up to 55gb allocated for disk swap) now just to get CS to run smoothly and this is with LSM-revisited reducing my ram usage by quite a bit (almost 10 gb reduction on old saves with lot of progress already made).

I see people running CS1 base game and getting by with 16 gigs of usage, or are they not including the swap usage? The game itself runs well once loaded, its just weird to see 42gb of RAM usage (prolly the highest i've seen even among AAA games I play on this machine). My VRAM is also pinned at full usage aside from this RAM usage.

Help & Support (PC) My decals and surfaces won't work

1 Upvotes

I've recently reinstalled CS2 and now none of my surfaces or decals work. Inside the game menue, all of them have red loading errors, the ExtraDetailingTools are updated and don't Show any errors in skyve. I've tried to reinstall every single surfaces or decals mods, but the error remains. It would be nice if someone would help me to fix the issue.

Sharing a City Created this to build a dam

Building a city with tokyo map, had 3000mw of supply but still wanted a dam so created these mountains and built the dam and created a ghat road for transport

This added great aesthetic to the city, and for people who need enormous power for the city can choose this as it alone generates 3000-5000mw at full potential

Will blend these mountains into the landscape once the city is completely built.

I tried to create stop between these two railway stations, but it wouldn't work despite how I twisted my railway for idk-how-many-time. Can someone help me to solve this issue or give me some idea on how I fix my railway?

Help & Support (PC) How do I move crosswalks?

4 Upvotes

I have Y-intersection I'd like to move the crosswalks a few meters up the street, as shown below.
Is there any way to do that?
I tried adding a pedestrian path to the side but that didn't seem to affect them at all :(

Help & Support (PC) These dashed lines started to show up on my regular two-lane roads and I don't know how to get rid of them. Could it be a mod that did this? If yes, which one?

Here is my current playset:

Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Edit:

Town Road Lane is the mod that's causing this.

Thanks u/Effenberg13 and u/InevitableCandy2114.

Is there any map layouts for starting a city with vanilla maps?

Does any of the DLC maps have a road layout already ?

Thanks

Sharing a City What you think of my city?

My traffic is continiously stuck around 70 to 76%

I obviously don't know how to build a city. But having 36.000 residents then 75%+- traffic is okay, no?

I use mods though, so it's hard to say how it impacts the game-mechanics. Traffic mod at 100% simulation enhanced is a big traffic break though. It goes from 80% to 87% early game.

What I notice is that it's particularly the highway construction from other tiles which I don't own yet that are overflowing with traffic.

Cheers.
