Description
Welcome to Ocean Peaks Map!

It is based upon a heightmap of a small coastal town along the coast of South Africa, a few kilometers North West of Cape Town.
Apart from the heightmap the map is completely fictional and I have completely made it my own, to my liking.
I've only placed 1 incoming and 1 outgoing highway connection to keep the traffic at a minimal.
My inspiration came when I was looking for a map that covers enough mountains for beautiful views, plenty of ocean access
but still allowing me to have enough flat surface to build on. Since I didn't find a map that I was 100% happy with,
Ocean Peaks was created to give me and YOU just that!

I've used the Laviante 2.0 Map Theme by ajr and the Coastal LUT by Ronyx69.

I also tweaked by Render It settings and they are as follow:

Sun Intensity: 1.8
Shadow Strength: 0.8
Moon Intensity: 4
Shadow Strength: 0.8

If the theme is very dark, turn up your sun exposure in Theme Mixer 2.5.

Mods needed for the map to work properly:

81 Tiles 2 1.0.2.2 - to unlock the entire map
Theme Mixer 2.5 - to add the themes and LUT
Render It! - to tweak Sun Intensity & Shadow Strengths
Fog Controller - to create that beautiful cloudy look over the mountains.
Network Extensions 2 - for the roads

I've used AD Cloud Replacer as well but it is not necessary to work.

Thank you for subscribing! Please leave a like if you enjoy the map as this will encourage me to make more!

@smol & @dan3thirty9 You can remove network extensions 2 and just replace the highways with either vanilla or any other DLC highways. You will have to unlock the entire map with 81 tiles though. Let me know if this works or if you try it! I've been having so many issues with my game after all the mod updates so I am trying to get things up and going again! Some more future maps too come very soon!

Yeah I wasn't getting any cars comin down the highways (and therefore no population). Network Extensions 2 mod is on. I had put down some more roads and districts and was all ready to play your beautiful map...really hope to in the future! And thanks for being cool enough to be responsive to our comments. :-) I'll be checking back soon!

@snack0_saurus can you make a non NEXT2 version as network extensions 2 causes issues with the game

@cahubble09 & @micahjp11 It seems like the issue was Network Extentions 2 Mod. I've added it to the required list. Please let me know if this fixes the issue for you both.

@cahubble09 & @micahjp11 I'll have a look and revert back asap!

@snack0_saurus -- loading the map the game gave an error that there was a highway missing and the simulation failed.

@cahubble09 and @snack0_saurus I too had an issue with the highways. Is there a mod I need to subscribe to?
snack_0_saurus  [author] 26 May, 2023 @ 1:36am 
@cahubble09 Shouldn't be a problem, it's vanilla roads.
