Description
Allows to change terrain surface



Are you tired of endless list of filler assets cluttering your parks panel and exhausting your buildings limit? Then this mod is for you!

This is a plugin for my Extra Lanscaping Tools mod that allows to paint terrain with standard decorative types of surface (pavement, gravel, field, ruining). Note that this mod doesn't provide any custom textures. And it won't provide any custom textures/surfaces because it's not possible. It simply tells the game to render pavement, fields etc. in painted areas.

Make sure that both Extra Landscaping Tools and Surface Painter are enabled in Content Manager before complaining. Also, this mod requires the latest version of Extra Lanscaping Tools to function so you can try re-verify local game cache if nothing else helps.

Tool is available through 'Surface Tool' button on main toolbar. Use left mouse button to paint and right mouse button to erase.

This mod also provides 'no override' mode (press Shift key while painting). With that mode surface tool becomes aware of surface under buildings, trees and roads and doesn't override surface in such places.

This mod can be safely disabled at any time. But painted surface will return to stock appearance if you disable this mod.

Known conflicts:
- Find It!'s 'Enhance all panels' feature makes this mod's surface selection panel blank. You don't have to turn off the entire Find It! to make it compatible with this mod and Extra Landscaping Tools. Just go to Find It!'s options and disable 'Enhance all menus' option there.

Planned features:
- Brush rotation mod integration (to be implemented in Extra Lanscaping Tools)
- Surface painting in Map Editor

Latest update:
UPDATE 5 (3/22/2023)
Fixed: Added 81 Tiles 2 compatibility

Sir, after issuing new DLC, I can't find surface painter icon during the game.. could you please check it?

That means your system ran out of RAM for the save. What you want to do is set a page file. First, in the search bar, type "advanced system settings." You should then see a window that says System properties, with performance at the top. Click settings, advanced, and then change under virtual memory. Check the custom size box and change it to whatever size you'd like. Do it on an SSD if you're able to, page files on HDD are really slow.

After enabling this mod, the memory reaches its limit upon save file is loaded, and the game crashes. The log file contains dozens of lines with the message: d3d11: failed to create staging 2D texture w=512 h=512 d3dfmt=28 [887a0005]. When trying another similarly sized save, the game loads but becomes extremely, extremely, extremely laggy, and within less than a minute, the system forcefully terminates the process. Disabling the mod resolves all issues.

I've had the mod for a long time and it's always worked.
Today: Error message: dll file could not be loaded. What could be the reason for this?

Mod is working fine for me. Check to see if that may be a conflicting mod.


Happy city building everyone! :steamthumbsup::steamhappy:
