[REL] Border Cities Mod by Tricolore 1.1 (1.57)

[Tricolore]

Hey! My name is Tricolore and I've been map modding since 2023. I'm very glad and excited to announce a map I'll be releasing : Border Cities Mod!

This is my attempt at making Windsor, Ontario and Sault Ste. Marie, Ontario more realistic in ATS.

I first tried updating Windsor in the map editor in 2023, and it was going awesome, I had added the Ambassador Bridge, Gordie Howe Bridge, University Of Windsor, etc. , but suddenly after an update the map became corrupted and stopped working.

I abandoned it and decided to switch gears and try to mod Sault Ste. Marie, before jumping back into Windsor and trying again from scratch a couple of months later.

Windsor is still very much WIP (being the newer map), but the Soo is more complete, and only getting more and more filled in and detailed.

Version 1.1 has been released! (NOW COMPATIBLE WITH ATS 1.57)
Changes in this version :
Windsor
- WIP Ambassador Bridge and Gordie Howe Bridge
- Reworked Detroit Skyline
- Detailed Ojibway Parkway
- Black Oak Heritage Park/Malden Park
Soo
- Improved realism of Sault Ste. Marie International Bridge

I want to say a big thanks to @Astranautica, the creator of Discover North America, for first getting me into map modding. Without his help I wouldn't even know how to mod maps or edit the places I love to drive in ATS. He showed me a lot of tricks with the map editor and how to get started. Big thanks also to @JacobKazias, for helping me out countless times with frustrating map errors that I wouldn't have been able to fix myself. Thanks also to @Attom, the creator of Discover Ontario and Quebec. When I first discovered his map in 2021, I got very excited to see that an Ontario map could be a possibility in ATS, and it got me curious and excited to see if I could make a map one day. Without his contribution to the ATS map, I would not be able to make this map mod.

Thank you and hope you enjoy!

This mod is compatible with Western Canada Expansion?

This mod is compatible with Western Canada Expansion?

I haven't officially tested it with western canada expansion, but I would guess yes, since its not like west. canada exp. and my mod overlap each other. They're both completely different areas. Just make sure in the load order that Border Cities is DIRECTLY ABOVE Discover North America.
