On some maps/built cities I am getting a simulation error that prevents the city from loading, this error is occurring in 2 of my 6 cities so far, and size of the city file doesn't affect whether I receive the error or not. The simulation error is as follows:

For a simulation error, I recommend trying to load the city with the Loading Screen Mod's Safe Mode options. To do this go into Options, find the Loading Screen Mod on the list on the left, then find and enable the Safe Mode options. Then try loading your save, if the error is gone, save the city as a new file and disable the Safe Mode options the next time you restart the game.
