Any mod that hides cities?

Cities and animated props like vehicles/trains on the map tanks my FPS and even freezes my game for 1-2 seconds in the late game. I tried looking for a mod that hides that stuff but can't find any, but maybe it has a unique name that prevents it from showing up in my search results.

Found the scripts responsible for displaying cities if anyone else wants a lot more frames:

"city_types" folder at:
\Victoria 3\game\gfx\map\city_data\city_types

In each text file (not sure if all of them have to be changed):

Set "min_residential_buildings", "max_residential_buildings" and "max_residence_points" to a lower value (I just set all max_residential_buildings to 5 and max_residence_points to 10). If min_residential_buildings is greater than 1 I just lowered it to 1.

"map_object_data" folder at:
\Victoria 3\game\gfx\map\map_object_data

In the "layers.txt":

Set "fade_out" in the "locators" layer to a value lower than 10 (set to 0 to completely hide all cities, gives a ton of frames back). Personally I set it to 6 (just below the clouds, so when the camera passes them, the cities appear).

OOO I'm gonna play around with this! Paired with the mini cities mod, mini world, and roads, gonna be a big boost to frames!
