- On Mac
/Users/<username>/Library/Application Support/Colossal Order/Cities_Skylines
- On Linux
$XDG_DATA_HOME/Colossal Order/Cities_Skylines

- WorkshopStagingArea** - Steam Workshop content is shown in subfolders here before being uploaded
* - These folders are never automatically cleaned up, that means the more snapshots a user take, the more images and subfolders there will be.

** - These folders exist only during the time they are needed.
Additionally, the game may use an additional 'Temp' folder if needed. The folder is created under Addons and does not require any human interactions.
Files[edit]
Cities: Skylines uses an in-house Colossal Raw Asset Package (.crp) file format to store various data. Those packages are containers and can encapsulate any data type, so a .crp file can be a save, a map, a color correction or an asset. The game will output packages in their respective designated place so it is safe to assume a Savegame produced by the game will always be written to the Saves folder. For assets importing, standard image formats such as png, jpg, bmp, tga, dds, raw, r8, r16, and tiff are supported, but depending on the tool you are using those with, only a subset may be available. Please refer to the tool documentation for more details. For geometry/models/meshes, the FBX file format is the only one officially supported.
