Description
⚠️Please read installation instructions!⚠️

CATO V3 is finally here! Reworks 97 locations in the game to be more realistic and beautiful! Does not expand locations in any way and is 100% vanilla friendly <3

-----Installation-----
1. Check the Troubleshooting thread before installing! If you experience floating buildings, clipping buildings, or any other issues you are most likely using an incompatible mod.

2. To prevent CATO from automatically updating I recommend manually installing the Nexus Version[www.nexusmods.com]. This will prevent CATO from updating and creating clipping issues for users who do not import their save often.

3. Make sure CATO is at the bottom of your load order at all times! This is essential to prevent bugs. Do not use CATO alongside other mods which edit the same locations.

4. *Import with "Import Buildings" un-checked is required on any existing save!* This will delete any player owned outposts or buildings. This is also recommended any time an update has been made to CATO.

-----Features-----
-Remastered visuals in nearly every location in the whole game, improving the realism of cities.
-Does not add or modify any characters, squads, interiors, building swaps, or world states. This should make it compatible with any mod which consists solely of FCS tweaks.
-Added small amenities to fix bugs in cities, such as corpse furnaces and additional power sources.
-Remastered road network for all cities and many zones, improving pathfinding.

-----Credits:-----
CATO is a labor of love and the result of hundreds of hours of hard work between myself and these other authors! Endless thanks to those who laid the groundwork for CATO <3

Ah, I understand! And I never thought about the manual update of Nexus... I'm just always giddy for updates on Steam. Thanks for all you do though! :steamhearteyes:

@Shela Monster it wouldnt be a standalone roads only mod, but a different version of CATO. A seperate version for vanilla Architecture would need to be made, which i dont think is worth the time. I recommend using the nexus version so you wont have to worry about updates

I would be interested in a standalone road-fix mod if that's applicable! :steamhappy: I hesitate on a lot of city mods only because of having to import and redo everything if there's a major update, but roads like around the Hub, or as Crux mentioned, that rock at The Swamp/Burning Forest have always been a pain point. :steamdeadpan:

I am considering releasing the new version as a separate mod, as the way I have found to get roads to update in-game requires an extra installation step. If I find a better way to do it however I will simply update this steam post and the old version will be available on the nexus

@Laughing Forest the next update should still work with any mod which is only FCS tweaks, but anything which edits road networks will have issues since I had to delete nearly every toad node and replace them with fixed ones.

Crunk: I vote for updating more cities if indeed it does break ability to use other mods with it

@crux updating the roads is definitely a pain in the butt, I am actually still looking for a way to apply the foliage removal from the new roads to the mod itself without requiring an extra installation step.

@Lil O' not quite sure, maybe a few more weeks. I am thinking about updating a few cities as well to make the compatibility break worth it.

That damn boulder on the road out of the swamp into the burning forest shem border breaks AI all the time. Yeah, lots of broken roads in the game. Very ambitious undertaking Crunk.

@crunk I was gonna start a new game, but I'll put it off for now. How long do you roughly estimate for the release of V4?
