Mods make the Cities: Skylines game more life-like and enjoyable. Modders add functionality that the game producers did not feel important, or just didn’t think about.
Unfortunately when a new version of the game is released, some mods “break”, and stop working. This happened after the Plazas and Promenades update on September 14, 2022.
You can find the Cities: Skylines game version in the lower left corner of the Paradox Interactive launcher.
When you open the Content Manager of the game and one of the mods shows that it is out of date, Steam did not download the update.

Cities: Skylines use the grass texture to fill the map where there is no water or rock. The desert theme replaces the green color of the grass with light brown. So the “grass” texture is still the background on the map, but the color is not green.
The ground resources tool is able to paint fertile land, but it also uses the grass texture. The tool can paint ore, so if we change the texture of ore to green grass, we can paint green areas in the desert.
To paint grass in a desert-themed game, create a new theme with green grass as the texture for ore.
You can download free seamless game texture files from https://opengameart.org

In the map editor, you can add water sources to your maps. In game mode, the original game does not have the means to add more water sources. Subscribe to BoodyPinguin’s Extra Landscaping Tools mod to add water sources in your games.
In the map editor you can set the sea level by typing a number, the mod in the city only uses the mouse to drag the sea level up and down. To set the level more precisely
When you discharge waste water to lakes and the sea, it can pollute the drinking water supply. Place a water source with the water level lower than the lake or sea level. It creates a drain to generate a current and remove the pollution.
If the traffic is too dense, turn on vehicle despanning. When the vehicles arrive to their destination they disappear.
