"_d" suffix stands for the diffuse texture (RGB) - 3 color channels texture defining the albedo. *required*
"_a" suffix stands for the alpha texture (Mask) - 1 color channel mask specifying per pixel transparency.
"_c" suffix stands for the color texture (Mask) - 1 color channel mask specifying per pixel where the color variations can be applied.
"_i" suffix stands for the illumination texture (Mask) - 1 color channel mask specifying per pixel if the diffuse color should be considered emissive.
"_n" suffix stands for the normal map texture (RGB) - 3 color channels tangent space normal map.
"_s" suffix stands for the specular texture (Mask) - 1 color channel mask to specifying per pixel specularity.

Repaint

Repaint texture files.
All main model textures have to have the same resolution.
You can change resolution. (Use square resolution, 256x256, 512x512, 1024x1024...)

100SqB has only 2 textures (_d,_a). If you need other textures, create yourself.(same resolution)

Import and Save

Copy files

Copy all files (*.fbx , *.png) to the Import folder.

The model import user folder is located at: *On Windows C:\Users\<username>\AppData\Local\Colossal Order\Cities_Skylines\Addons\Import *On Mac /Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/Colossal Order/Cities_Skylines/Addons/Import *On Linux /home/<username>/.local/share/Colossal Order/Cities_Skylines/Addons/Import

Import

Main menu > TOOLS > ASSET EDITOR > NEW
Select Theme > (Temperate) > SELECT
Asset importer > Prop
"Scale": default Polygon is 1m x 1m, Scale 8 = 8m width and height.
"Max,Min scale": multiplied by imported scale. (e.g. import scale 8 & Min scale 0.5 = 4)
Menu (ESC key) > Save asset
Input save asset file name, asset title(ingame), Short description(ingame toolbar).
You can change images, click small folder icon.
Replace snapshot.png (same resolution) .

Tips of Props

Use mods to place props in-game

Texture resolution

*Use square resolution for my 1m square asset template. (Other assets may be different designs)

Illumination

*"_i" (illumination), works different from Prop , Tree, Vehicle, and Building.
Tree non-illumination, Buildings illumination value changed at After Dark DLC.

Distance

Large Prop will be displayed farther than small Prop.
(Even so, the prop will not be displayed before other asset types.)

LOD is important, Because a model is displayed far distance.
Copy *.png to *_lod_*.png (abc_d.png to abc_lod_d.png, abc_i.png to abc_lod_i.png)
Copy *.fbx to *_lod.fbx (abc.fbx to abc_lod.fbx)
