After installing Industries, population from 300.000 down to 300 ??

[udm]

Hi guys, a bit concerned as i installed "Industries", then updated Traffic Manager, and everything went down hill quickly from there.

1st. all my Traffic Manager settings, traffic lights, lane changes, absolutely everything was deleted.
2nd i left the game running on its own for about an hr, and come back to a city that had 300.000 people down to only 300.

Any suggestions as to what happened?

When I first installed Industries, I went to my largest city and started re-doing the industrial areas. I had removed mods considered 'unsafe' and was down to a few core mods (including the TMPE fix and Network Extensions). While I was busy on industry, I had a massive uncontrollable death wave in previously stable residential parts of the city, and the cemeteries and crematoriums couldn't keep up. The whole map was heading for abandonment.

I started over with a fresh map and no mods for a while until things settle down.

@OP it could be that you have another mod that changes the basic gameplay that is not compatible with the update. Have you checked through all the mods you are using?
