Description:

WARNING: UNSTABLE. NOT RECOMMENDED FOR NEW GAMES.

This mod has a number of bugs and stability issues, and is not recommended for new games. It is provided here as an attempt to help players with existing cities using Extended Managers Library/Prop Anarchy continue their saves without having to redo their work.

For new games, consider using Prop Control instead.

Why remove Extended Managers Library and Prop Anarchy?

The author of EML has left C:S modding and his mods (including Extended Managers Library, Prop Anarchy, and Tree Anarchy) are now abandoned.

These mods were useful prototype experiments in different ways of doing things. However, as prototypes, they all use a very non-standard codebase and have some fundamental issues that can’t realistically be resolved by anything other than a full rewrite.

I’ve made "temporary fix" versions of these original mods to keep them working with game version 1.16 so that people’s saves weren’t lost. However, given the current state of these mods and the nature of their codebase, I’m not in a position to anything more. While I will attempt to keep them operational, I cannot guarantee success, and there’s a chance that they will break completely in the future. There will also be no fixes for the bugs they contain.

Therefore it’s highly recommended that people currently using Extended Mangers Library migrate away as soon as possible to protect their saves. I’ve created the Remove EML mod to help with this.

Stable modern replacement functionality for most of EML and Prop Anarchy is contained in the new mods Prop Control, Visibility Control, and Line Tool.

There is currently no direct replacement for EML’s expanded prop limit; however, remember that props placed with BOB, Intersection Marking Tool, and Procedural Objects do NOT count towards the prop limit. Using these mods is the recommended (and more stable) alternative to expanding the prop limit.

This is not my mod; I’ve only taken it over to try to keep people’s games working after the next update. I don’t pretend to have any particular expertise with its use, or with any problems that might arise, and cannot provide any support.
