https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=450877484
It is a MOD for advanced settings, so it is not recommended for beginners.
If you use this, You can check if above Mods work fine.
Detailed usage will be described later.
Still can not unlock achievements?!
"I could not unlock Achievement even though I used MOD of 'Plan A' in the section above! !"
"Is this mod working?"
This section is a troubleshooting guide for people who are in trouble with it.

Checklist

(A) Did you enable this MOD in the content manager?
ENABLE IT!
'Subscribe' is not enough.
If you can't find the Mod in the content manager, it's another kind of problem.
Please restart Steam and Cities:Skylines and wait for MOD to be successfully downloaded.
You must enable only one of the achievements unlocker mods! These mods all have the same purpose, so if you enable more than one at the same time they will compete.

(B) Have you enabled the "Enable achievements" option?
(Some MODs have that option. Example: Steamy, Extended Game Options, etc.)
Did you enable all of them?

(C) Did you judge by just the trophy icon?
DO NOT judge by trophy icon!
"The little trophy icons that shows you are achievedments are enabled when you load the save will still be crossed out ..."

(D) Did you use "BAILOUT OPTION"?

If you get bankruptcy alert and "Accept" bailout option, Then it disables further achievements!
The value of 'm_disableAchievements' immediately becomes "True", Even using any Mod of Achievements.
Please Immediately use Mods such as Steamy, Toggle from Off to On Enable Achievements option.
Or, Save the game and load it, To Enable Achievements again.

(E) Another MOD is destroying the achievement system.

(F) You may be misunderstanding the requirements for Achievement.
In reality you have not achieved requirements.
Please try a simpler Achievement for testing.

(G) Notice of unlocked achievement is delayed due to bad connection of steam...?
Or, You are turning off notifications at the Steam overlay settings or by another MOD.
Still not works yet!!!!
It's a last resort, please try the following section "Modtools".

Any way by using mod tools to get the pane for achievements active in the game?
The flag is false for achievements, however the achievements pane (the one together with milestones) is still in-active....

@alayubiyyu You will never get a vac ban from a mod that has been on the steam workshop for years already.
Hesanesa Denzatosa 3 Mar, 2020 @ 8:40am

The achievements tab is disabled even when the value is False.
But you can unlock achievements.
Ham Sammich 6 Nov, 2018 @ 7:43pm 
even after i set the value to false with modtools, the achievements tab of the milestones window is disabled. should it reappear, or no?
