This mod replaces textures for mountains and terrain around the map of ATS.
New in v7.0:
– Big changes to a lot of textures. Generally, it all looks more realistic now.
– A lot of textures are made in such way that it gives an illusion of the landscape being one smooth, merging surface, rather than a bunch of different pieces.
– New better quality texture for cliffs in California and Nevada.
– Completely new textures for red rocks in Arizona.
– Several completely new, more realistic and better quality terrain textures.
– New textures for mountains that are further from the road (now split into 3 new different kinds of mountains).
– A lot of textures are “mixed” with each other for a more diverse and realistic look.
– A bunch of other texture improvements.
If you like taking cool pictures and want to take a fresh look at the world of ATS, then this mod is for you! From mountains and deserts in California to Grand Canyon and red rocks in Arizona, for a more realistic and diverse look.
FYI: the screenshots for this mod have been taken without graphics mods, brightness set on 40% and Color Correction turned on. Alongside with my other mods: Enhanced Vegetation, Realistic Roads and New Mexico Mountain Textures. I really recommend you use all of the mentioned mods together for the best experience 😉
If you are using graphic mods that contain textures, please make sure to set this mod to higher priority.
NOTE: I’m sorry if some of you get a little frustrated by complete replacement of some textures compared with the previous version of the mod, but the goal of this mod is to create a more realistic feel of the landscape in the game and it’s hardly achievable at once. The point of this mod is to seek for the best looking textures for environment, to make them “harmonize” with each other and that can be achieved by replacing some of the textures throughout the versions of the mod.
Thanks for understanding and enjoy! 🙂
