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.

[REL] Minor Urban Overhaul (12/01/2023)

#1 Post by Quaristice » 21 Jun 2019 00:58

This is just something I've been only making for myself for some time, but decided to make public now.

This mod greatly increases traffic density in major urban areas across the map; traffic elsewhere is kept to vanilla levels, which I think is realistic enough. It also widens freeways and urbanizes some areas that are particularly inaccurate in the original map. Use the available "Lite" version if you want only the scenery/signage changes in California and Phoenix Area.
(For compability with traffic spawn mods simply open the mod with a file archiver (7-Zip, WinRAR, ...), open the "def" folder and delete "traffic_data.sii" and "traffic_rules_spawn.sui" inside its "world" folder)

Edited areas in the mod detailed in the map below:

Should be compatible with minor map mods if you put them in higher priority.
No known conflicts with ProMods Canada.

Since this mod affects traffic density, is it not compatible with Cipinho’s traffic mod?

Testing it for compatability with US Expansion... It crashed when i travelled to my garage near San Diego. Trying to drive there now but driving from portland xD Might take a while but i've just gone through Redding and about halfway down towards Sacramento with no issues.

I just ran from San Diego up to Los Angeles. No crashes and the drive was quite nice. No other map mods.

Thanks for this Quaristice. :)

Instead of posting a worthless crash log try posting the complete game.txt.log with pastebin... It will tell what is going on...

Apologies i didn't know crash logs were worthless...

Here is the pastebin

https://pastebin.com/dKf4HR5X

This mod is conflicting with something or is causing some kind of error as this area was fine before installation. Should i mention i'm running on DX11 or is that worthless too?
