mabako’s Hide District Policy Icons Mod
This fine and might I add EXTREMELY USEFUL Mod was created and originally uploaded here on the workshop by mabako some time ago, however he/she decided to leave the Cities Skylines modding scene. Along with leaving the scene he/she also made his/her mods unavailable for people like me who depended on his/her creations, kind of selfish and annoying if you ask me ?
I take no credit whatsoever on this mod upload as all rights belong to mabako, as such I can not also provide the source code for the mod as I just uploaded the copy of the compiled mod from my copy in my “Cities Skylines” install’s “workshop” items folder (you know, where the game places files you subscribe to on the workshop). Also I don’t even know how to compile mods for this game or any game for that matter 0_o
But here is the GitHub link for all of mabako’s mods, if you are interested in it:
Anyway, “Why did I upload this file?”, you might ask. And my answer is, “I need this mod badly but as I said I can’t mod and recompiling mabako’s source code IS NOT an option for me and I’m also guessing, it isn’t an option for others as well”, so I did the one other thing I could think of and that is uploading my copy of his/her mod (from my copy as I already mentioned) so others and myself who uses this mod can have an easy access to it again.
I wouldn’t have to do this if mabako didn’t pull out his/her mod/s from the workshop altogether. And truth be told, his/her explanation on Reddit is kind of selfish and self-centered IMHO:
“…. otherwise I’ll simply set them to private and that will be the end of that.” — mabako
Seriously~!?
Setting your mods to “Private” just because you don’t want to work on them anymore~!? 0_o
And not even considering the fact that people who can’t mod might still have a need for your creation 0_o
If anyone who sees this re-upload of mine knows how to contact mabako outside of Reddit (because screw Reddit’s clutteredness which reminds me all too much of old mIRC) and Steam (because he/she has also set his/her Steam Profile as Private), please tell him/her to please make his/her mods available again.
And if he/she does make his/her mods available again, I would gladly remove this upload off of the Workshop.
And to think there are quite a few “useless” Spammy mod uploads on here that deserve to be removed immediately…
for example these:
Whose uploaders might I add need to be smacked in the rear side for posting useless crap on the workshop.
…but folks like mabako just decide to make their wonderful creations unavailable for those of us who depend on them ?
