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

[Quaristice]

The load order is in the OP, although that's for ATS 1.43 (Reforma is incompatible with 1.44 and hasn't been updated).

Keep in mind the traffic compatibility patch is optional, it just aims to restore the dense traffic spawn in urban freeways (Reforma removes it by putting a spawn limit of 50 cars max in the game) and fixes some small imperfections that bothered me.

[Quaristice]

Mod updated (v15) again, sorry about the frequent updates.

Actual additions in this update rather than just fixes and official patch compatibility, they are:

•I-17 in Phoenix widened.
•I-80 in San Francisco (Bay Bridge) widened.
•Northbound I-5 south of Seattle widened near the weigh station.
•Assorted corrections.

Disclaimer that the changes to Seattle aren't included in the Lite Version. I'm a little wary of including DLC areas in it, and it's a very minor change compared to the others included.

@Quaristice Don't feel sorry about the frequent updates. I rather thank you for your updates. Because with each of your update ATS becomes better and better.

Aye, the more updates the merrier. The improvements help breathe new life into the older parts of the map.

Quaristice first let me tell you thank you for all that you do for the community. Love your work. I do have a suggestion/request though. I noticed in ETS2 there is graffiti and garbage along the sidewalks and walls in large cities. Is is possible to at least add graffiti to the sound dampening walls and freeway signs. We all know there are some super taggers in cities like L.A., Seattle, SF and Oakland and IMO this would add to the immersion.

One more update (15.1), this should be the last one before the next major game update. I've been rushing through every single last thing in the map I've been meaning to change before other map mods update to 1.44, just to make it less of a headache for people working on cross-mod compatibility.

Features:
•US-101 widened all the way to Oxnard (Agoura Hills/Thousand Oaks area)
•A little more urbanization east of the I-10/I-15 interchange (San Bernardino/Redlands/Calimesa)
•Signage update across all covered California area, plus new signage on I-40, CA 58, CA 99 and I-10 east of San Gorgonio Pass (The map in the OP has been updated, if you want to visualize that better)

Nice, thank you.

Hi Quaristice, will there a be a MUO/Reforma Compatibility Patch and Traffic Compatibility for 1.44? I've noticed that right now, there are missing freeway connections especially around Redding, CA and I-10 N of Phoenix with sudden dead ends and the previous version had the patches available that smoothened those connections. Not to mention that Reforma has released their 1.44 version map just today.
