    I see a few xln users have already posted some mods to skylines, is it easy? can we convert existing models? pretty sure we can. Are there any tutorials? Why has no one posted any if not?

    I just bought the game 50% off. so might play it and might see if I can add some of my models to it! love to hear some feed back from other xln come skyline modders!!!

    Edit - @IcyHot maybe add a modding sub forum to skyline forum? if you read this lol

    Apparently is easier to make mods for Skylines. And yes you can convert your CXL mods.

    CSL modding is easier, and needs less effort (lower triangle counts).
    Basically, you can just edit or rework your L3s of CXL for CSL.

    not sure about just altering your L3?
    basically from what i'm reading here https://forum.paradoxplaza.com/foru...a-model-into-game-ready-asset-3ds-max.857689/

    all you need is your L1 and L4 models. might have to also adjust some maps/textures. ie basic ill map, _a alpha map is transparency as well.

    either way I might try to convert on of mine, seems xln modding is doomed since its limited to 3d max 2012 and mine expires in few months. so will prb download and use the latest version of max.

    I mean you can use your L3 model of CXL mod and transform it to L1 model of CSL. There is no need to model the base. So you can delete it and save texture space (no need for grass, parking, pavement textures).
    BTW, you can use the same CXL L4 for CSL Lod file.

    ah thanks, yeah I forget to note to myself you dont need base. still not sure why dont you use L1 ? instead of L3? more details are good as long as triangle count is in spec?

    Of course you can use L1, but usually L3s of CXL models meet CSL reqs.
