Simulation failed Deserialisation tag mismatch
Verified: April 2022 - TM:PE 11.6.5.2
This error usually appears on the loading screen (if using Loading Screen Mod), or as a error popup after a city loads, or in the game log.
The word in brackets (eg. VehicleManager) may change depending on the root cause of the error.
These errors are not caused by TM:PE.
There are two known causes of the error:
-
VehiclesManager- the city requires More Vehicles mod -
AreasManager(or something about Areas / Tiles) - 81 Tiles mod is missing, or corrupt data
If the error mentions VehicleManager:
- Subsribe and enable More Vehicles mod
- The city should now load (so long as you don't have any mods that are incompatible with More Vehicles)
If the error mentions Tiles or Areas then it is likely an issue with 81 Tiles:
- Subscribe and enable 81 Tiles mod
- Try loading the city - if you still get a tag mismatch, try the button in 81 Tiles mod options
In both cases, make sure you don't have any incompatible mods: Compatibility Report

If not, there's probably no way to recover the city, unless you have backups of older saves?
