Please explain your issue is in as much detail as possible.
Simply put after many hours on my city I am getting "Simulation error: EndDeserialize(PropManager) tag mismatch:"
I appreciate I am using a number of mods, so I am trying to either resolve the error or at the very least figure out what is causing this error so I can avoid using the mod or combination of mods in the future.
When this error initially happened, I went back through my past save games and the same error occured on quite a few of them but I found a save where it didn't and then went forward again from there. Since then the same error above has appeared in this forked set of saves. My problem is I don't know what i'm doing in the game / what mod is causing the issue. Something from the working save to the next save in either the initial path or the forked path is causing the problem. A number of my mods I think cause problems if I turn them off, so debugging this situation feels a bit eh. I could start afresh but I am worried I am going to cause this problem again, and it only started happening after 10-15 hours into the game.
I turned on all the safe mode options in LSM to no avail. Since then I downloaded the Load Order Manager mod to see if it was a mode dependency issue, this causes my game to hang at a similar point in the loading process but it no longer gets a formal problem so the output log doesn't contain the simulation error. Normally the city loads in under a minute, the simulation error error appears after 20-30 seconds of loading. Using Load Order Manager I waited two hours and still no error, just sitting at the same point in the process.
I'd appreciate some assistance in either things I can try, or guidance in how to resolve. If someone here happens to know ways to debug this kind of error beyond where I am up to i'd also appreciate this.
Can you replicate the issue? If yes, please explain how you did it.
I don't know exactly what I've done specifically but I played the game from my save game, building some neighbourhoods, adding some metro lines, rebuilding roads, upgrading etc.
I've attached an XML of my mod list via LOM, my output log, and two save games, one which is working (S8) and one which no longer works (S9a).
