Hundreds of Cims ditching cars around city
ausa07 posted a topic in Cities: Skylines Technical Help Q&A
The problem: In my city, Cims drive places (to work, home, a park, school, etc) and park either on the street or in off-street parking spaces, as they should. Once they are ready to leave to go somewhere, they get in their car, which is where the problem begins. Some of them drive to their destination without an issue. However, a good portion of them will get in the car and become "confused". Their cars will stay confused for at least 15 seconds, after which the Cims will teleport to their destination, effectively leaving their car behind and never returning to it (because they have no way of getting back to their car). Over time, the amount of cars ditched throughout the city start becoming noticeable as there is ditched cars everywhere taking up all the parking spaces in my city. Cims that abandoned their cars are then no longer able to go places as they become confused at wherever they teleported and don't even teleport to their destination thereafter. I've attached photos, which shows what I am talking about. Attempted solutions: Currently, I have to remove to remove each abandoned car manually (using the Remove Stuck Vehicles mod), which is gamebreaking because in the course of an hour I am having to remove hundreds of ditched cars and the only way I can tell if it is a ditched car is by clicking on every parked car on the map. What’s even more frustrating is that the Remove Stuck Vehicles mod, which is supposed to remove confused cars immediately, fails to do so. I also tried enabling and disabling the No Despawning option in Traffic Manager President Edition with no luck. I know it’s not due to Cims not having a path home because I’ve checked that all roads lead to somewhere and that there are no one-way dead ends, etc. I’ve searched the internet painstakingly for weeks and can't seem to find else with this problem. My game is heavily modded so I’m confident it’s a mod causing the issue but I am having trouble pinning down which one is causing it. To pin down the issue, I’d have to: (1) start the game vanilla; (2) add one mod at a time, and; (3) start a new city each time and grow it for a while then check if any vehicles are being ditched. This would take forever for me to do and would be difficult for me to confirm with 100% certainty which mod is the culprit, which is why I am turning to the community for answers. My hunch is it is either the 81 tiles mod or an AI altering mod such as Rush Hour, TMPE, etc., though it really could be anything. Any help would be greatly appreciated, since I’ve gotten no help on the issue from the Steam community and it would save me lots of time troubleshooting if someone already knows a solution to this problem. In the meantime, I will continue to try and find out what is causing the issue (though my time is very limited being a uni student and working). Thanks!
