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] ATS Mountain Reworks (Rocky Mountains, Mt. Rainier, Mt. Shasta, Mt. Hood, Teton Range, Sawtooth Mountains)

#1 Post by Travismods » 15 Apr 2023 13:03

This map mod aims to rework mountains around the SCS base map. Some players have noticed the poor representation of mountains that rather look like hills in ATS. I have reshaped the mountains, updated and reworked their textures sharpness and contrast and I also improved their far models. This means they are now visible from a much greater distance closer to how they appear IRL and are significantly taller than in the base game. 8K textures for all mountains were re-captured from Google Earth.

Note this is not a 100% accurate real life representation but I think it better does these mountains justice from a driving POV. Additionally, feel free to suggest any mountain around the whole ATS map you think is in need of work. For now this mod currently reworks:

• Rocky Mountains / Denver, CO
• Mt Hood & The Dalles, OR
• Mt Shasta, Black Butte and surrounding area, CA
• Mt Rainier, WA
• Olympic Mountains, Port Angeles, WA
• Humphreys Peak, Flagstaff, AZ
• Sawtooth Mountains of Stanley, ID
• Grand Teton (Retextured), WY


Regarding performance: Fortunately the increased sizes and textures of the mountains do not appear to impact framerate in any significant way. There should not be any bugs or issues after the extensive testing that I have been doing but please report if you find something clipping or looking off.

Mod compatability: Tested with Reforma, Promods Canada, ATS Expansion, Grand Canyon Rebuild, Project Better Arizona, Reforma + Sierra Nevada, Minor Urban Overhaul, Route Alaska. Place ATS Mountain Reworks on top. Most of the sectors in this map mod is untouched by other map mods. Please report if you find a crash or an issue.

Is this mod incompatible with any mods?

Nice work. Any chance of adding the truck center just north of Black Butte. It is just before Weed.
Exit 745. :D
