Thanks to FireController for this solution!

1. Backup your save games
   • Usually found at C:\Users\<your_username>\AppData\Local\Colossal Order\Cities_Skylines\Saves on Windows
   • Alternatively, you can save them to Steam Cloud, but many users say it's unreliable :/
2. Reinstall Steam desktop
3. Follow this guide: Moving a Steam Installation and Games
   • This will ensure you properly move Steam and Games to a new drive
   • Simply copying stuff over manually won't work, you have to do the correct procedure linked above
4. Reinstall Cities: Skylines
   • Steam will automatically download any DLCs and workshop mods/assets you were subscribed to
   • You will need to re-enable mods and check their settings
   • Restore your savegames (Steam will automatically restore any that you stored in Steam Cloud, assuming it works)
