Where to put downloads

[rewright 804]

In what or which folders do I put downloads like buildings, maps, mods, etc? Is it like SC4 where they go into the plugin folder or its sub folders?

Thanks,

Maps are, Computer/ local disc :C/ Users/ Your name/ AppData/ Local/ Colossal Order/ Cities Skylines/ Maps

Assets and mods are all under, Computer/ local disc :C/ Users/ Your name/ AppData/ Local/ Colossal Order/ Cities Skylines/ Addons./ their respective folder.

Np at all.

I am still a bit confused as to where addons, etc. go. When I look under the C drive I find no file named "App Data". The only place I can find Cities:Skyline folders is: C/Parogram Files (x86)/Steam/Steam Apps/Common/Cities _Skylines/Cities_Data.

This is a new ASUS desktop running 8.1. There is also no file called Colossal Order. I purchase this from Steam on Amazon.

The appdata is a hidden folder, like system files they are hidden by default in the windows explorer. Go to the windows explorer properties (accessible from any opened folder) and set the hidden folders as visible.

Thank  you for replying. I do not see a setting for making files visible. There is something under attributes but I don't think that is what you are referring to.

You need to navigate to your user folder (C:\User\YouComputerName where all of your pictures, music, downloads, desktop, etc are located.

Then just click View in the menu bar at top of window and put a checkbox in the option, "Hidden Items".

 

Then you should be set.

OK, thanks! I've found the folder and put a building in it and it is in the game. So I can now create a folder structure similar to my plug in folder in SC4 to store all my added content?

When you subscribe, doesn't it automatically add it into the game?

Well, it does if I get the content from the Workshop, but downloading it from this site I am finding it a bit spotty. The data file is in a different location than some have described.
