Description
Are you tired of generating the perfect USA map only to find New York City adjacent to Los Angeles? ... in the middle of the US Southwestern Desert?? Well fret no more my friend. This Town list replaces many of the largest US Cities and Capital names with much less well known names, like Demopolis, and Hodgenville, Kotzbue, Milledge, and Summit to name a few (do you know how many Summits there are in the US?).

That is all this simple mod does, it changes the USA Town Name list to less common US town and city names.

Is Toledo, Ohio in it?

I just figured it out on my own a few minutes ago... Actually, I had to choose "default" town names, instead of "american" ones to get it to work.

Thanks for the quick response anyway, and of course for the mod! I was actually considering renaming every town/factory name manually... on a large map... ;)

I don't get it either, I mean, it's just a text file, nothing tricky or scripted. It should work if you select "American Town Names" when you generate a random map under "Freeplay".

I'm having problems getting this mod to work in my games; just to make it clear, I can get other mods to work in Transport Fever, just not this one. (I checked the in-game town's names against the mod's lua list.)

I read that sometimes you need to reload a saved game and reactivate the mods to make them work, but I wonder how that would apply here?... (btw, I still tried: no dice). Anyway, congrats on the mod, I can see from the namelist that it's just what's needed: generic, yet flavorful. Hope I manage to make it work :)

Not sure how I missed this when first posted, but it's needed!
Hate making a new map with Miami and pittsburgh right next to each other ..... in the US mid west :steamhappy:
Thanks

No, sorry. But if you subscribe to the mod, I'll thrown in a free squeegee, ... just pay shipping and handling.

But seriously, when you subscribe to the mod, you can open the towns.lua file in:
Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\446800\809204230\config\name2\usa\en\towns.lua
and see all 276 town names.

... and/or, as an alternative you can either add those names into the mod's towns.lua file yourself, or open the game's towns.lua file located here:
Steam\steamapps\common\Transport Fever\res\config\name2\usa\en\
... and create a custom name list for Towns in Arkansa, or Missouri, or that specific region if you want to. (LUA files can be opened with Notepad, or my favorite Notepad++)

Town and Street name mods are really easy to alter and make. I hope that helps.

Joplin?

Unfortunately, it isn't. It is in the original list that ships with the game though. I was trying to use less iconic town names, striving for a more "generic flavor" to the town names list.
Dell Conagher Jan 4, 2017 @ 10:33am 
Yes. Is that included in the mix?

Capitol City of Arkansas? next to Sherwood, Jackson, Bryant, and Benton?
