Small Town Vibes

Overview

When making this map, I wanted to make a connection between the urban areas inside and the rural areas outside, and hopefully players will build all over the map. This map is inspired by the land I am originally from, North Dakota.

Map is Vanilla, Theme is highly recommended

Main Arch Deck Bridge



Building a map with no assets/DLC is quite important to me. If you have mass transit, you will more than likely want to upgrade the single lane highways.

When upgrading the roads over the bridge, please select all the road nodes, drag the nodes a bit away from the bridge, upgrade them, and move back into place.

Upgrading the roads in place over the bridge will break it.

The Region



Optimized for 25 Tile Play
Detailed at the 81 Tile Distance

Train Connections 2/4
Air Connections 2/4
Highway Connections 2/4
Ship Connections 0/4

Trees: I plopped 240,000 You can plop 10,000

Visuals

It would be best if 'Display Road Names' was de-selected from the gameplay options panel

Theme: American Midwest Theme Mix

LUT in screenshots and video is:
Relight2Average

This is very important, as it gives the fields the color of wheat.

Please, consider using the following mods and settings for visual aids:

Daylight Classic ON

RENDER IT! (Below I will share Render It settings)

Prop Control/Tree Control (If you don't use this, a couple hundred of the trees will not show up)

Hide It! (please hide the shore texture when water ruins the terrain. The game does not do a good job with this and a new level can come out in your map if you paint underneath the water.)

If you have ULOD (Ultimate Level of Detail). I recommend you bump up props and decals. It does not seems to be very taxing on the CPU

Common Ground Mod OR Algernon’s 81 tile (Some Areas I have crafted will not look the same as the way I see them unless the tile is unlocked or you are using the Common Ground Mod)


Things I Want to Tell You

Just a simple map, no crazy tricks

Completely Hand Drawn

The map is not an exact copy of anywhere in the region, but takes influence from the landscapes of North and South Dakota

Thank you to all who make this game better than it was yesterday

Thank you for playing on my creations and God bless

This is beautiful, and I love the region names inspired by some of the community greats 😄

I love this map in theory but I found traffic to be difficult as the only working outside connections are the main yellow highway. The smaller blue one doesn't function, and since I wasn't running 81 tiles I couldn't fix it myself, but I built my city around it working when I designed it and ended up just trying a different map.

As a current resident of eastern SD (and former resident of western SD), this map is perfect for my next city- especially the preplaced one-mile farm roads that make up nearly all of Sioux Falls' southern neighborhoods in real life, a feature I have been trying and failing to replicate in my previous cities.

Wow! Thank you for putting out a CS1 map. I know what my next map will be. I've built on several of your maps with Old Man River and Valhalla being my favorites.

A map like this with a larger river, less (and less square) farmland and some mountains on the outskirts would quite easily be the best Cities: Skylines map of all time
