Description
Welcome to Geraldine islands! This is a fictional map where you will see beautiful terrain, waterfall, rocky winding coastlines, farmland plains and infrastructure that perfectly combines numerous bridges and several tunnels.

MAP INFORMATION
The map includes:
  • 2 highway connections (and this single highway runs from east to west crossing the islands and 2 country road connections in the south)
  • 1 train connections (railway goes from the west to the starting area and potential port)
  • 4 ship connections
  • 2 plane connections
  • 94,141 trees
  • 3,370 props (most of it is mountain grass)
  • Port areas near the starting tile
The islands have many country roads and a couple of junctions, with the help of which you can build several small towns or villages in different places of the map.
In fact, the map does not provide for the use of resources for industry. Resources are located in the surfaces to give a graphical appearance: all resources are used for farmland in the northwest of the main island, and for example, ore is used on the tops of the mountains, which represent small windy plains.

MAP THEME & VISUALS
I used Generic Temperate 4k theme for this map and it is the only theme i have listed in One Click Collection, however i don't really like the water texture in this theme, so i use a combination of Generic Temperate 4k + Coosbay Theme, where the second theme is used ONLY for the water texture. So if you want a picture as close as possible to what you see in the screenshots, you can also mix these two themes using Theme Mixer 2․5.

I also use Lumina, with the RelightNeutral LUT. A screenshot of my Lumina settings is provided (at the end of the carousel) if you like to use that.

And also, in the screenshots the set time is around 16:00. You can set the time with Play It! or other mods. However, if your picture is too dark, you can increase the "Exposure" parameter in Theme mixer 2.5 or Lumina until the picture is nice enough.

RECOMMENDED MODS
Visual mods that are recommended when using this map: Other mods that are recommended when using this map: And I also recommend Surface Painter to paint the gap between highways in gravel for visual beauty.
Also, PLEASE use Skyve to monitor the compatibility of your mods and their relevance, so that you don’t have to write another comment like “The map doesn’t work!”

IF YOUR PC IS A POTATO...
In case you have problems with FPS, I recommend to unsubscribe/not subscribe to such assets as: Animated Sea Foam, Landscape Grass and Mountain Grass.
These three assets are used in this map, however, you can unsubscribe from them to reduce the load on your PC and possibly increase FPS. This will NOT cause errors.

acknowledgements
I would like to give a special thanks to everyone on the incredible CS Map Makers Discord server. You guys are incredibly supportive and motivating, and without you this map probably wouldn't exist.

@darthcharles, thank you! Oh, you're right, I just forgot to add lights to the highways. I will try to remember that for my next maps!

Love this map so much! A lot of fun making like a really touristy city. Only issue - I would love it if the highways had lights. I've been just replacing all of the built in highways with my own so that I can see the lights going from place to place.

the same with llvna, the map was loaded with "Simulation error: Object reference not set to an instance of an object", and play/pause button not working, cannot place any road nor demolish any of them. not sure if it's a compatible issue with mods...

Such a beautiful map, unfortunate that the required assets are just too heavy for me

do you use the mods i suggested in the description? It is especially important to be subscribed to Prop anarchy, Tree anarchy and Procedural Objects
llvna 9 Sep, 2024 @ 8:48am 
yes, because i dont like map with vanilla tree, so i always search maps with assets pack
