Cities: Skylines Free Instal Guide

If you've ever tried to install Cities: Skylines with a free instal, you know how frustrating it can be when things don't go as planned. That's why we've put together this step-by-step guide to help you through the process.

First and foremost, note that the program currently only supports Windows 8+ 64-bit machines, so make sure your computer meets those requirements before proceeding.

To start, click on the executable file for the Cities: Skylines free instal program. This will launch a simple interface with several options to choose from.

The first thing you'll need to do is decide whether or not to install with Koaloader, and if so, which proxy DLL to use. Keep in mind that none of the DLC unlockers are tested for every single game, so be careful when selecting which games' DLCs you wish to unlock.

Once you've made your selections, click on the OK button to close the program. The next step will be to choose which programs and/or games the program should scan for DLC.

The Cities: Skylines free instal program automatically gathers all installed games from Steam, Epic, and Ubisoft directories, so you don't need to worry about manually selecting each game. Simply wait for the program to gather and cache the chosen games' information & DLCs.

After that, the program will download and install SteamCMD (if you chose a Steam game). This may take a good amount of time on the first run, depending on how many games you chose and how many DLCs they have.

If any of the DLC unlockers cause problems with any of the games you installed them on, simply go back to step 5 and select what games you wish to revert changes to, and instead click the Uninstall button this time.
