need some assistance

[J12LKG]

Hello everyone new to this game, i want to go on a free roam map and i also would like high end graphics mod. i have downloaded content manager and believe ive activated SOL, however i need guidance on free maps to install and best graphics mods and how to install, thankyou :D

Hello and welcome aboard.

For the best free roam maps I suggest checking out Shutoko Revival Project, LA canyons and PCH. Shutoko is the most popular and is based in Japan. You've probably seen videos of people cruising on it online, it's very popular and extremely well made. All of them are free too. Good job getting content manager too, makes everything super easy to install. Just download the tracks, drag and drop into CM and viola.

As for graphics mods, there's not really any graphics mods per se, but there are a ton of filters out there which change the way the game looks so it's all up to your personal preference. I play in VR so I use Pure. Pure is like a newer updated alternative to SOL. You can install SOL and Pure along side each other and use whichever you prefer.

SOL and Pure are weather scripts, but both come with their own filters too, so you'll find a bunch of SOL filters and a bunch of Pure filters. I use Pure script and it's own default Pure filter, which looks really nice in VR. I suggest installing both SOL and Pure, then just experiment with whatever filters you prefer. For example, before I got Pure, I would use SOL weather script with Natural Mod filter, also a great combo.

Just to save you a headache regarding LA Canyons...quoted from RaceDepartment...

DO NOT DRAG and DROP into Content Manager!
LA Canyons is not setup for this! - Always read the included Install Guides."

Click on the spoiler "faq"..

Just so you don't get frustrated, most tracks can be Drag and drop like Fret said. Just not LA Canyons.

Yes Johnny is right, always read the install guides. Not everything is drag and drop (most are). I installed LAC like a year ago so I forgot

Or you could learn to install mods without CM, which is super quick and easy if you are capable of rudimentary PC use like unzipping a compressed archive or using cut and paste. Requires nothing more than moving a folder to the correct folder, takes a few seconds. This obsession with dragging and dropping everything to CM, and how AC forums keep getting flooded with posts about it not working, is a bit baffling.

You don't own the game. You haven't dragged and dropped anything.
