TM:PE support team: See Tips for working with savegames

Why we need the savegame

We can investigate and fix bugs faster if we can replicate them - the easiest way to achieve that is with a savegame shared to the workshop (and the URL to its page in the workshop).

You can keep your mods enabled when sharing; the more closely we can replicate your game setup the more chance we have of recreating the bug you are seeing.

Uploading a savegame to Steam

  • From Main Menu, choose Content Manager
  • Select the Savegames and locate your savegame in the list
  • Click the Share button, and follow the onscreen instructions
  • Exit Cities: Skylines

Getting the savegame URL

Find your savegame in the Steam Workshop:

  • Click on your username at the top of the Steam app, and choose View My Profile
  • Choose the Workshop Items link
  • Click your savegame to view it's details page

If there is a warning about the file being private or friends only:

  • Click Change Visibility in the sidebar
  • Set it to Public (otherwise we won't be able to subscribe to it)

Now copy the URL shown at the top of the savegame Description page.

It will look something like this:

https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1564441481

Send us your URL and we'll be able to load your savegame and hopefully reproduce the error you were having.

Where to post the URL

Post the link wherever it was you were discussing the problem (usually a Steam discussion topic or comments section).

For TM:PE users only:

  • If it relates to an existing GitHub issue, ensure the issue contains a description of the problem.
  • If you're communicating via Discord please also include a brief description of the problem as well (we answer lots of support queries and it's difficult to remember who's posting what and why they are posting it).
