    What does it mean when one of your maps says "no free slot" when you try to open it and what can I do to solve it?

    you the default game is limited to x amount of map slots, UIM increases it to allow more if you select that option. I'm sure there was also a separate mod that did the same.

    I do have the UIM installed, however I was not aware of an option that you select that enables that feature.

    Anyways, after deleting some open maps that I wasn't using, I seem to have solved the problem, however for future reference, how do I select the option with the UIM to enable the more map slot option?

    I think when you first set-up/run UIM exe, it gives you option, could be wrong been ages since I installed it.

    I think there is actually no option for that, it simply adds more slots without asking

    finally fixed it, you need to delete an unused save file.
    go to:
    C:\Users\<YourUserName>\AppData\Local\Focus Home Interactive\Cities XL 2012\live\offline\solo

    then delete one of the save folders which you don't need anymore.

    UIM does it automatically, there is no option. Have a look at one if the maps you are using, it will have % of uses. Some use 20% each time and others more. There is also a mod called 'add extra map slots' by Altiris , but I think this is for locations on the planet.

    I've seen a few custom maps use 50%. You just have to remove any unwanted cities using the map you want to use.

    Some users created maps use the same slot(s) index as an already existing map.
    This can also result in a "No free slot".
    50% means there are two slots for that index and one is already in use.
    The slot index is related to a position on the globe.
    This was probably some feature that never made it into the game or had to do with the online sharing game.
    Maybe to connect the globe terrain with the map terrain.
    Would have been better to rip the globe out and just supply slots for some number of cities with any map.

    -go to:
    C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Local\Focus Home Interactive\Cities XXL\live\offline\solo
    -copy/backup the entire "solo" folder.
    -remove any one or all "abcdef_slotmap.cxl" that is not associated with your saved cities (the "solosaveregion#map##" folders).
    This will free up "slots" for new maps.
