Real companies, gas stations & billboards | V3.03 for 1.47-1.49 | All DLC

Forum rules
SCS as a company do not wish to have paid mods on this forum. While we understand that not all paid mods use the Intellectual Property of other companies/people, it is very hard to moderate what is and isn't acceptable when money is involved. There are also concerns that it could look unfavorable to potential work partners going forward if SCS allow mods that may potentially use unlicensed branding.

Should this mod add more real companies to AI traffic? (e.g. campers, rentals)

Thank you for the amazing mod, MLH82

I've found some deatails that are not realistic

  • Small Target store suburban areas
Small Target stores exists in urban areas

  • Target, H&M, Macy's shops in strip malls
IMO most of the strip malls are realistic enough in vanilla
As a matter of fact many of the shops in strip malls are independent businesses so not every shops have to be skinned with brand names

  • IHOP, WinCo Foods, McDonald's billboards with directions

You won't find them even if you followed the direction...

Thanks for your feedback, I will take it in consideration.

Please note that this mod about more immersion and not about 100% accuracy. The game is to limited in that way, as some logo's and billboards pop up randomly or at multiple places in different settings.

Is your mod compatible with Real Gas Stations Revival Project 1.0?

It wont give you errors but you will see some strange advertisement combinations. Not that many, but it will happen. Not much I can change on my side about that unfortunatly.

I've been running this with Real Corner Shops and P16 Revivals. I haven't had any deadly conflicts yet, I think what shows up in game just depends on the Mod order correct?

Yes, but why would you want to use a bunch of mods which do the same?

It will increase the risk of errors and definitly slow down the game, as a lot of data needs to be loaded which you override with content from another mod, which sometimes holds the same content.

I wouldnt recommend it though.

It just seems that there are so many options out there, but none take care of every vanilla company and visual in the game. So I like to have them load on top of each other. I put them in the order based on what companies I want at that time and then I can mix them up to see different ones too. Personal preference I guess.

I was just wondering if there really was a fatal error that could occur from running them concurrently. I haven't noticed any real performance fall off since stacking company mods like these...I've been sticking to 60fps on highways and 50 to 60fps in cities.

By the way, this is awesome work you are doing! I appreciate everything that all of you mod creators do. If it wasn't for the community I would have stopped playing a long time ago.

Many thanks for your kind words

You dont get fatal errors quickly, especially when we are still in 1.49 in which all these mods are released. It gets trickier when the game updates and from then it really depends on how well the mods are mantained. 1.50 probably means a lot of rework for the mods in this category.
