The AutoDistrictNameStations mod is a tool designed to enhance the naming conventions within your city in Cities Skylines. It automatically assigns names to transport stations and various buildings based on the district they are placed in, this includes buildings like service buildings and parks. Additionally, it modifies platform names, providing more detailed information in route displays.
This mod serves to enhace the district functionality and give more information across different infoviews.
Usage
– District Creation: Create a district and customize its name before placing any station or building within it.
– Building Placement: Add a station or building within the designated district.
– Automatic Naming: Upon placement, the station or building will automatically adopt the name of the district. If there’s an existing station or building of the same type in the district, it will adopt the name of the street.

Renaming all Buildings (Experimental feature)
What if you already have a map and want to have all the stations and buildings named after a district.
To do so it is advised to first do a backup of your city (this is just a precaution, there should not be an issue).
Then, restart your game, and load your city. Then go to the game settings, and select the AutoDistrictNameStations mods options.
Select the options (i.e., what kind of buildings you want to apply the naming process).
Then go down, and you will see a button called: “APPLY LABELS TO PREVIOUS BUILDINGS”, a warning message should come up to confirm that you want to proceed.
After clickin Yes, it can take the game a few seconds to process all buildings and districts, after that can check whether the buildings have been correctly renamed. As it may happen that the mod was unable the fecth the district name of some buildning, you can load your backup and try again.
