Description:

This is a modern and lite version of the abandoned Telemetry Control (from 2015), but with no custom options.

This mod disables Paradox/Colossal Order telemetry. You probably already seen the PopsManager entries at Cities Skylines logs: there are the game telemetry.

Is the Telemetry harmful?

No, but it can cause some slowdown if your internet connection quality is low. You will experience a slight improvement in game performance enabling this mod.

They have a keylogger on it??

No. You can check it by using a decompiler (like dnSpy) and searching the PopsManager class. You will se the stuff sent is just navigation steps and other game milestones stuff.

The Paradox/CO used this telemetry for what stuff?

Remember when the Cities Skylines channel showed the statitics of game, like most used building and how much habitants all cities of the game have? Well, the Telemetry was the source of that data.

Other doubts can be added to this description later to clarify what this mod does.

KNOWN ISSUE: It may be incompatible with some font-changing mods, don’t know why yet… May have a fix in the future.
