Incompatibilities

See also: Known Issues and Errors & Logging

As of this writing there are no confirmed incompatibilities, but there are some theoretical and/or suspected incompatibilities.

This mod does not completely replace any AIs or other original game objects, but it does override a few methods and may sometimes use it’s own code instead of the games original methods.

The Allow Code Overrides option can be used to stop the mod from overriding any code, while the Assignment compatibility mode and Creation compatibility mode options can be used to tell the mod whether to use it’s own code or not for some actions.

Game Versions & Patches

Whenever the game is patched/upgraded by the developers, there is a risk that this mod becomes incompatible.

The mod therefore has version limits, and some functionality may be disabled automatically when the game updates.

To manually allow or disallow code overrides and deep game calls regardless of version, use the Allow Code Overrides option.

Service Mods

Any mod that override code in, or replaces, the AI of service vehicles or buildings has a risk of being incompatible with this mod.

Hopefully such incompatibilities will only result in limited functionality loss in one of the mods, and no crashes, but it is impossible to know for sure.

To control whether another mod can override this mod at the moment of a few specific actions, use the Assignment compatibility mode and Creation compatibility mode options.

Also, using two mods that assigns/reassigns the same service vehicles is likely to cause problems.

  • Districts
    The Districts mod completely replaces the AIs of service buildings an vehicles.
    This might break the garbage truck Prioritize assigned buildings options, and may also result in an increased number of reassignments.

Road, Zone and Traffic Mods

Any mod that affects path finding and road access has the potential to cause problems with services. Such problems typically occur with or without this mod, but it is possible that they become more pronounced, or just have different symptoms, when the dispatchers in this mod is enabled.

There has been reports of problems with hearses and garbage trucks with mods based on Traffic++ and Traffic Manager, but at the moment there are no confirmed cases of incompatibilities between those mods and this one.

  • Traffic++ V2
    Traffic++ V2 has caused problems for service vehicles in some past versions, but those problems should be fixed.
  • Traffic Manager: President Edition
    There are unconfirmed reports of Traffic Manager: President Edition causing problems for garbage trucks.
  • Network Extensions Project
    There are unconfirmed reports of Network Extensions Project causing problems for garbage trucks.
