Configuration files

This page is for Realistic Population Revisited version 1.x. It does not apply to Realistic Population 2.

Main XML configuration file (WG_RealisticCity.xml)

Realistic Population Revisited currently (still) uses the same XML configuration file as the WG Realistic Population and Consumption mod. It natively uses version 6 of the file format, but can still the earlier version 5. This means that any existing WG Realistic Population and Consumption settings will be read automatically by Realistic Population Revisited without anything needing to be done by the user.

The configuration file is an XML file called 'WG_RealisticCity.xml'. If no file already exists, one with the default configuration will be automatically created by the mod on the first game load after activation. This file resides in local settings directory, which can be found in the following locations:

Location by OS

• Windows = C:\Users<username>\AppData\Local\Colossal Order\Cities_Skylines
• Mac = /Users//Library/Application Support/Colossal Order/Cities_Skylines
• Linux = /home//.local/share/Colossal Order/Cities_Skylines

Changed values in the file will be seen on loading a different city or loading from the main menu. The file is updated on each load and written-back by the mod with the updated settings. A backup file with the previous settings (WG_CitizenEdit.xmlk.bak) is also automatically created in the same location.

Some values in this file can be changed (without having to edit the XML directly) by using the in-game GUI. Changes made via this method will also take place immediately in game as soon as the relevant 'Save' button is pressed.

Information about the contents of this file (so that you can edit it directly) can be found on the XML configuration file settings page.
