    So after a six month break, I decided I wanna play Cities XXL again, so I dug up my save and mod backups and threw them in.
    When I attempt to load my biggest city /300k/ the game loads half way through and then suddenly crashes to desktop.
    Worth noting is that starting anew works fine and my other smaller cities /50k/ load fine, but again I don't want to lose my biggest one. I've tried loading the autosave as well as loading individual saves but to no avail.

    Here's the log and what I think is happening is the game cannot find the relevant files for some reason.
    If that's the case, it'll be greatly appreciated if somebody could point me to the relevant mods so I can re-download them.

    Last line: [21:06:31] LOAD aenEntityManager.cpp (1666) ErrorBuild Missing prototype file <data/design/buildings/industry/businessservice/b_ind_jhc_t3.class>

    Looks like there are quite a few missing. Its tricky working some of them out though as there's only a data path to go by. Easy one is the chase tower by joules

    Yes, I've re-downloaded that one, but the weird thing is that I already had it in the mods folder.

    For this reason alone, I always save my PAKS folder, if I uninstall the game.

    That's exactly what I did but it doesn't seem to work.

    Did you subscribe to any mods on the steam workshop?
    Also I forgot originally ask if you have your patch files in a folder called mods in you paks folder. If patch files are just put in the paks folder I don't think they will work in xxl from memory .

    No, I use manual installation also because some of the crucial dependencies got wiped from the Steam workshop. I only get my mods from XL Nation.
    And yes, I do use a Mods folder.
