This mod is 100% functional as of Sept 18 2024... Don't believe the hype.

If you're using low settings for textures and quality you don't see sprites... As soon as I turn it up to even medium, they appear, until I turn on this mods functions. IF it isn't working for you it is an incompatibility issue with some other mod.

This mod doesn't work.

Successors:
Hide it! > Remove Sprites
Theme Mixer 2

Currently, if Theme Mixer 2 is enabled, manipulating sprite decorations in Hide it! will be disabled.

DEPRECEATED

Use instead:
• Hide it
and / or
• Theme Mixer 2

Use Compatibility Report to check your actual subscriptions and find information about updates and possible conflicts.

Theme Mixer 2 doesn't do it? Where is the option to hide them in theme mixer?

"Hide it" and "theme mixer 2" does the same thing. Don't need to install this mod if you already had theme mixer 2 or hide it.

Guys i found the solution!

Go to hide it settings>Remove sprites

this is the cause when remove decoration sprites dosen't work

I have the same issue as @NSFl Rommel; the settings claim to be active on load, but they need to be deactivated and reenabled in order to take effect.

I think Hide It does this too now

How does it work? Can someone pls tell me how to use this mod?

at the moment, wehen i load my savegame, I have to deactivate all 3 options and reactivate it to become the result. It looks like , the savegame dont save the info from MOD

How this work please put this your tube how turn off lawns on road and highway s please let me know?

Still works

Brilliant! Thanks for this. Solved my problem of grass popping through any surface i placed.

Simple, yet fantastic!

good mod only issue is i have to keep going in after each load to active it again

It doesn't work!!!

Awesome. I have wanted to fix this problem since I started this game but never knew there was a way to fix it. Sprites are such an eyesore. Thank you so much

Thanks I will give it a try, since I noticed that this mod some times does not work, I still see those bubbles

yeah you can use Hide It! as well, which is better because it unified various mods into 1.

I dislike the fake looking rocks so much! They look like weird bubbles which gave me trypophobia... Thanks for making this mod!

what are sprites????

Wanted to say thank you! but also wanted to mention that to anybody who uses Hide It! that that mod also has options to remove grass, fertility, and cliff sprites. Not saying that people should stop using this mod, just wanted to put the info out there

@Catratio This does increase your games FPS slightly, only about 2-5fps, since the GPU doesn't need to render all these sprites. Less work load to render, more FPS.

Not only does this make the game look way better, but I swear after using this my frame rate went way up too. I don't think I'm crazy or imagining it. I suppose not having to render all these tiny blobs and tufts it helped performance.

Just wanted to say 'thanks', TPB a nicely done Mod... Works just fine for me [83+ Mods in-use], and 6 DLC's loaded. Don't have a 'super-fast' PC, have been using since end '18... No issues!
Thanks again.

if this didn't appear to work for you, just go to the menu setting, turn it off, and turn it on again. (this is not a tech support joke...)

To Netflix and Kill.. I've had that very same issue after adding a different mod. I honestly believe we were just unlucky and it was more to do with the game its self rather than any mod.

I just wanted to take a moment to personally say “Thank You!” for your time, effort and hard work to provide this mod. It enhances my gaming experience, and I do so appreciate you for providing this to all of us.

OMG THIS IS AMAZING!!!

"does it still work, does it still work, does it still work"?????
Just try it geez... And yes, it still work fine.

Long time from last update, does it still work?

does it still work?

I'm sorry for your troubles but this mod simply sets 3 booleans to true or false, that's it. It doesn't mess with anything else at all. It's impossible for this mod to have deleted any files, or done anything else. The game already provides these variables m_useFertileDecorations, m_useCliffDecorations, m_useGrassDecorations. All I do is set them to true or false. Nothing fancy. So... you must have done something else, or something happened elsewhere. Again, I feel your pain, but trust me this mod cannot possibly cause any of the problems you have.

:O There was a update yesterday lol? Sneaky Sneaky. However before subscribing to this mod earlier this afternoon, i was playing cities skylines, with all my mods, and it was fine. It was only until a discovered your mod did this all occure.

So having a look. After subscribing to this mod, all data relevent to the game was deleted. Checking all folders, every thing is empty. Its really annoying trying to fix. Even varifying the game cache is aparently fine. Uninstalling hasnt helped. So i have little to no idea what to do :(

You do realize there was a big update released yesterday? It's highly likely dozens of your mods are not working.

I subscribed to this mod. For some reason Cities Skylines just did not work with this mod. It struggled to turn on, then crashed. I presumed this mod may of been conflicting with one of thousands i have. So i Un-subscobed from this mod, and my entire game is corrupted. All my mods fail + assets. The game is now 100% corrupted, where a uninstal and reinstal is not fixing this.

Any idea's on what may of happened, and how to rectify this? Ive never seen some thing like this, and its very odd.

In the time being, to those subscribing to the mod now. Be warned, this has screwed my game.

how to delete xml file for mac user?

This is not removing the randomly generated rocks on the map fro me.

delete the xml file

I don't understand. What's the procedure to correct the error?

Thanks for the quick reply, i tried running as admin and it didnt work, when i deleted the xml file it got fixed though so i guess the old file got corrupted somehow.
Also thanks for the nice mod :)

Seems like you have file permissions for those folders, so the game can't read or write to the config file. You need to give permissions for Cities_Skylines folder

mod gives an error for me when i activate it;

Details:
System.Reflection.TargetInvocationException: Exception has been thrown by the target of an invocation. ---> System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path "C:\Program Files (x86)\Steam\steamapps\common\Cities_Skylines\RemoveSpritesConfig.xml" is denied.

and then some more mumbo jumbo but im limmited as to how long my comment can be

Is this compatible with Mass Transit?

yeah lol... , I like the grass, but those rock bubbles tho, gotta go.

yeah, its the cliff sprites/rock bubbles that are my biggest gripes too.

You're welcome. I find that on some themes the grass decorations actually look ok, but I absolutely hate the rock bubbles. :D It's nice to be able to customize things though. ;)

Thanks for this, TPB. So simple yet such a huge improvement aesthetically!

thanks update! =)

@TPB It's working for me. I tinkered the grass and cliff sprites on and off several times and the mod works great. THANK YOU SOOOO MUCH!!!!
