BigCity (25 tiles mod)

Description
Allows cities to be 25 tiles big instead of only 9

Summary
  • By default the game only allows you to purchase up to 9 tiles.
  • This mod sets the limit of purchasable tiles to 25, so that you can still expand more once the last milestone has been reached.

FAQ
  • The mod is not working or does not show up in the game!
    The mod does not have any user interface, the only visible effect is that you can purchase more tiles after the last milestone once it has been enabled. To enable the mod please check the I installed the mod, how do I enable it? section of the FAQ, right below.

  • I installed the mod, how do I enable it?
    Once you've subscribed to it, head to "Content Manager" in the game main menu, select Mods on the left, scroll to this mod, check the on/off checkbox to enable it. That's it.

  • I want to have all 25 tiles unlocked immediately!
    Enable the mod included with the base game to unlock all milestones from the game start if you want to build a large city immediately.

  • What mods does this mod work with?
    Any mod that doesn't make changes to the map size will very certainly work properly.

  • Why only 25 and not 81?
    The game engine was designed to support up to 25 tiles as specified by the official modding API, anything higher requires deeper changes in its core. By not going higher than 25 you ensure your saves will keep working with newer releases of Cities Skylines without depending on the mod being updated if it breaks.

  • I uninstalled this mod, will I still be able to play my save?
    Normally yes, although I can not guarantee it as there's no indication of this in the official modding API. This mod makes no changes to the game engine and simply changes the amount of tiles you can unlock. So if you have a game saved with 25 tiles, even with the mod uninstalled, you should still be able to play it with the full 25 tiles unlocked.

  • Achievements are disabled when I play with this mod, how do I turn them on again?
    Although enabling any mod will disable achievements, you can use the following mod to re-enable them anyways : https://steamproxy.net/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1567569285 Please note that this is probably not the only mod that does this, and I have no affiliation with it, nor am I using it, but it seems to be of a pretty decent quality so I'm linking it for people who want to try it out.

@will.w32 If you haven't reached the last milestone this is normal. This mod only increases the game engine's tiles soft limit to 25, but this is only visible once you reach the last milestone. If you want all tiles immediately you can use the builtin mod that unlocks all milestones from the game start.

If you have reached the last milestone but it still doesn't work, either the mod is not enabled (see the FAQ on how to enable it) or there's a conflict with another mod (in which case try to disable all mod except this one and enable them one by one until you find the one that breaks the mod).

it isn't working for some reason, the max stays at 9 tiles

@pabdam Yep, always make backups of your game for safety :) But not just when you install mods, I once lost a lot of my saves in a game because my drive failed and steam cloud didn't save my files for some reason.

Cream Cream :steamhappy: Good job editor, it works perfectly in new and saved games. Create another file of your games before making any mod additions to avoid problems.

As long as you enjoy the game, you do you. This 25 tiles mod gives a more vanilla game experience and will always be more stable than the 81 tiles one (although now that there are no longer big updates I'm pretty positive it will stabilize), and obviously this one will never be able to do as much as the 81 tiles one. Just pick what works for you.

hmm. i have the 81 tiles mod. i think its better. not to be rude, creator

Mhh no that's odd, it should work even if you already have all 9 tiles... I did have a save that already had all 9 tiles unlocked and I was able to expand to 25 just fine. Even if the mod is listed, are you sure it is enabled? Also are you using other mods?

I found the mod under the game menu, however in my existing game when I open to play, it does not allow me to buy more then the 9 I already have? Can it only be a new game?
