Anyone else getting an error when extracting the rar with 7zip?
Jonathan 23 Jun, 2020 @ 2:39am 
@Adora_ble I have a few files that are missing from the zip, including the Prairie Box @roadoflife is asking about. If you add me I can send them your way to add to the zip.

There are quite a few props that are still missing, such as an ADT sign prop.

Sounds like someone needs a hug.

Awesome, thank you!

I lucked out that I had a backup of my assets. People doing this can screw up saves with... many hours of work put into them.

To answer a question that might popup for passerbys wondering why most of their town is missing:

If you download the assets from the Google Drive there will still be assets missing from it, but it should restore most of the buildings lost because of the deletion. Still looking for more replacements for the sets. I know some Amity series houses are gone. There is also a thread on reddit discussing False Lucdity's assets and the deletion.

Here's a link to a page showing what the Prairie Box house asset looks like: http://www.citiesmods.com/prairie-box-house/

Thank you @Adora_ble! You've rescued my cities. I used these houses to build the majority of my older (established) neighborhoods. If anyone finds the "Prairie Box" house asset, I would be so grateful. It makes up the majority of the houses I've put into my cities, and it's still missing.

@bboatt, thanks for the heads up.

Any chance you'll be uploading the 1980s US Postal Truck and American Fire Engine?

Thank you guys. I am streaming a city with this houses and all ofthe sudden they disappeared. I am still missing some ones, but more or less I recovered it. I learned something new.
boatt 31 May, 2020 @ 7:44pm 
@captdicard I think some of the missing assets are linked in this thread: https://old.reddit.com/r/CitiesSkylines/comments/gsven5/false_lucidity_cities_skylines_assets_have/

Also bump for the missing LV4 Gothic A-C houses.

@adora_ble thank you. I finally figured it out last night. I appreciate you getting back to me. Take care!

In hindsight I see that I've made a mistake. I don't write a lot. Curiosity got the worse of me.
Thanks to @antzkillr for putting things into perspective.

I sincerely apologize to Adora_ble. Good work, keep it up.

You only need the files from the .rar in order to save your buildings in your save. you need to put the .crp's in the 'Assets' folder within 'addons'. if its in 'addons' the game wont recognise the files as it doesnt read for crp's there.
breed4me22 30 May, 2020 @ 8:57pm 
@antzkillr Hey thanks to you and @adora_ble for the comments and the work in getting these files back. I didnt use a lot of his houses but there are a few missing from my city. I have a question and forgive me for not knowing how to use assets in a local workshop folder. I've downloaded the .rar file and extracted it. I've put the folders with the .crp files into the addons folder. however they still do not show in the game...do I also need to subscribe to the asset in the workshop and somehow change the folder ID in my local workshop folder for these to be found in my city? I also moved the folders into the workshop folder but that didn't work either prolly cuz there was no location to map to on the steam servers.
antzkillr 30 May, 2020 @ 5:19pm 
@ Hit-fist In defence of Adora_ble, far from being "polite", I found YOUR questions to be aggressive and accusatory in tone i.e. you questioned "what does this "EVEN" mean. " rather than a more relaxed "I don't understand what you're saying" inquiry.

As to how he "got them back", like many of us, he saved them from his own game files. In my case, I was able to obtain the asset ID number from the links in my Loading Screen mod, and used those ID numbers to retrieve the "lost" files from my TimeMachine backup from last week (I play on a Mac) I was able to put my cities back together pretty quickly. Other players may not be as lucky to have backups or might not understand (as apparently you don't) how to use assets in a local workshop folder.

Adora_ble is doing everyone a service by re-uploading the assets and sharing his copies of the original files. I would caution you, Hit-fist, to look at the tone of your posts and perhaps you're the one who needs to "chill".

captdicard 30 May, 2020 @ 1:27pm 
So...I was not going to post the earlier part but left it in case it is something you were unaware of and can address. Having looked through the various assets and the comments, including ones from others that are problematic at the moment, I realize you are aware the wide-scope and the variety of assets.

Amazing how 15-20 assets out of 4000 can disrupt a game so much. So, again, Adora_bl, you are awesome for the work you are doing related to this "problem". I know we are all thankful for what you can save regarding FL's assets. We will be able to bring our cities back from the brink regardless, but your work will help prevent the lose of so many cims from the ether.
captdicard 30 May, 2020 @ 1:26pm 
Thank you so much Adora_bl...do you have lvl 4 Gothic A-C and lvl 3 Dutch A & B by chance? If they are in the back up, they do not appear to be loading, as they are showing up as missing via the Loading Screen Mod and are not showing up once in a city. I do have these houses as part of a custom style, but the other houses from this pack loaded up without issue.

Via the LSM report, there is a 1980's Postal Truck that is missing and I believe was FL's asset as it appears to be gone from the workshop. Not sure if and or why it would have been a required asset. The only asset that is missing that is used by these buildings is a garage asset that, again, I believe was from FL, though I am not 100% on that due to the number of houses that use it....
justingulmire 30 May, 2020 @ 10:03am 
Thank you so much for doing this! I was able to get into my game, but all the houses were gone. I was using these primarily for an older suburban section of town.
xKHenson 30 May, 2020 @ 8:53am 
Thanks for re-uploading these man! I was wondering why half my neighborhoods and high schools were missing.
Hit-fist 30 May, 2020 @ 8:18am 
It's so odd that you responded with profanities. I was being inquisitive and I tried to be polite.
I don't understand tech very well but there was no need to be rude and aggressive.
Do you snap on people like this in real life too ?
Anyway, I will hold back on uploading anything from you for now, just to see if other users have no problems with what you are giving. Assets are great and it would be awesome to get them back.
I'm sorry if I have offended you. Have a good day and chill out a bit. You won't hear from me anymore.
Adora_ble  [author] 30 May, 2020 @ 6:53am 
@prah i will upload some remaining assets later today. Including the cars.
Adora_ble  [author] 30 May, 2020 @ 6:53am 
Its an alt account you fucking idiot. I dont want to clog up my own workshop with reuploads.

The assets were still on my PC because i didnt shut down steam. So steam didnt update workshop items yet.

If youre too tech illiterate to understand any of this and if you are scared by a google link its probably better that you dont even bother with this and that you leave me alone with your boomer attitude
Hit-fist 30 May, 2020 @ 5:57am 
No offence but you are lvl 1 account with 1.3 h gametime on City Skylines and telling us to upload your files into our computers to get back game saves. How did you even acquired these assets ?
What does it even mean to :
"use THIS link to get the ORIGINAL workshop variants with their ORIGINAL ID's so you can fix your game."
If they have been deleted by original uploader how do you get them back ?
Don't hang me, I just don't understand this and it sounds fishy. My save is working but gameplay is choppy and I'd like to make it better. I will be gratefull for answers.
Prah 30 May, 2020 @ 3:42am 
Will you re-upload their vehicles and vehicle props as well? :'(
