@Teamson - I've resent you invite, cuz I cancelled yours by accident.

@Alankraskow - that would be massive! Thanks.

@Crimson Read the comments. Paradox made changes to the city scapes that upped the quality but also broke all existing city set mods (and mods that add city sets) in the process.

doesnt work for me cities arent positioned correctly

@Teamson - I don't get it either. Such a redundant change it seems. Yes the quality is better now, but that wasn't such a major thing to begin with. And because of that we lost so much content. I personally gave up on modding Stellaris for now. No desire to spend months on mods, just to have to update them every time they change something.

On a side note: I have a collection of selected species that I revived. It's available to friends only, as I didn't wanted to go and ask every creator for permission. But if you interested, feel free to send me friend request and you will be able to get it from my workshop.

God why do they even need to touch this again?

Same with the species.

They came and offered a little feature no body asked for. But the price was that we lost access to 99% of all workshop Species. Thanks paradox.

Now all the cities gone?

*upgrade 550-600 .dds files across all my mods with cityscapes I forgot to add

@tilarium oh I'm not sure they changed the code for Cityscapes. They defo changed the size of canvas to have the same for all individual .dds files. So that means I would have to redo 550-600 .dds files to upgrade them to the new format. Add to that polishes to make them look better, which would be required at this point and it would be like a job for few weeks at least. From a modder point of view it's insane to be constantly forced to update their content like that when we all do it for free at the end of the day. At this point it's turning more and more into job, rather than a hobby.

@Alankrashow Yup, I fully agree. There doesn't look like there is anything that should have affected the cityscapes with this DLC and update but they still did something that touched the code. I have a love/hate relationship with their current method of updating because it keeps the game alive and fresh, but it breaks games and mod lists nearly every time. I've been trying to rebuild my mods list for CK3 for 2 weeks now, since the last update and DLC but I keep stalling because I don't want to, knowing I'll have to do it again in a month

@tilarium they changing stuff that IMO doesn't really need to be changed and tbh I lost motivation to mod Stellaris anymore. The constant changes result in modlists being broken every few weeks or so and I got feed up with all the work that goes into trying to make the game playable with mods, to the point I don't even play Stellaris myself anymore.

What a bummer to hear that the new updated borked the city scapes. They hadn’t been touched in so long, not since they added the ecu worlds, and even then it didn’t change anything, just added the need for an extra level.

Unfortunately PDX has changed the format for the files and these cityscapes are not compatible with the new format anymore. This mod is most likely outdated for good, as I don't play Stellaris myself atm and don't have motivation to go and fix it all, as it would probably require individual polishes for each of the graphics. If someone wants to take them over and remake them, please feel free to do so, but remember to credit the original author.

not working no more :(

@alma17 thank you, but all the credit goes to silfae :)
I just made a fix and reupload of his creation.

man i literally love you, i could stand those ass cityscapes anymore, i really love them

Added few missing ecumenopolis and ruined cities, please resubscribe.

I know right? These unwanted shipsets killed me when I played these mods before. We all owe Little Tee a big one for this ^^

Thanks for doing the update, Alan! When I saw Little Tree mention this discovery, you have no idea how excited I got. No more ghost cities filling the window.
