Tinker Steps:Set launch options
gamemoderun <path to your steam library>/steamapps/common/Cities_Skylines/Cities_Loader.sh; echo "%command%"
I'm using "FPS Booster" and "Loading Screen Mod Revisited" mods from the workshop to improve performance, I highly recommend to use them. You can skip the "Patch Loader Mod Installation Guide" of the FPS Booster mod with my launch options, as it uses the mod's loading script directly and even bypasses the Paradox Launcher. I also have V-Sync disabled in game.
