Description
Last updated - 9th June 2023

Mods I use in the Altengrad Youtube series. Intentionally made as "choose between" collection so the subscribe all button is off. Use this list as a reference only, don't subscribe to mods if you have zero idea what they do and why you need them. Read their descriptions.

Notes:
  • Network skins doesn't work very well anymore, for repainting networks use Repaint.
  • Graphics (colors, clouds, fog, shadows) Mods that are relevant right now - Theme Mixer, Render It, Relight, Play It, Cubemap Replacer, AD Cloud Replacer. Theme Mixer is now only relevant if you actually want to mix themes, Relight only if you already had it before, Cubemap Replacer if you want to have a different cubemap (not just sky, but also water and window reflection "texture"). Otherwise the only graphics mod needed right now is Render It and the AD Cloud Replacer for adding actual moving clouds. Everything else is now outdated and not needed. Find guides made by Chameleon TBN (can't post outside links here)
  • Read description of Ploppable Asphalt+ Loading time fix as you need the actual assets
  • I use Toggle It mod to get rid of the "whiteness" when placing unique buildings etc. and to show contour lines, nothing else.
  • The deprecated non-terrain conforming props and vehicles props mods are technically still working, but have certain limitations that you should read. I have them because there is no detailing alternative right now (apart from not using them).

Always use Compatibility Report (now Skyve) and check its logs.
