Mountain Meadows: Remastered (Vanilla)

Welcome to Mountain Meadows!


This is an updated version of the old map that was my VERY FIRST remaster of the base-game maps. I released the original version with the NexT 2 mod which could prove to be an inconvenience to some that play completely vanilla, or just don't like that mod at all.

Me Rambling

So I decided to just update the roads to vanilla highways, then I decided to re-do the start square intersection to a SPUI (single-point interchange), then I decided to finish the road connections from the top and bottom of the map, so two more interchanges were added. Then when I was messing about moving the trees off the road networks, that I remove all of them and replant them, then I saw how I wanted to smooth out some of the mountains, and then that turned into completely re-doing some of them because I didn't like them Haha! Once that was done, I then decided to put in a dam to create a nice lake then it was back to re-doing some of the roads and some minor terrain work, again! So that prompted me to connect the roads together, then I added a bunch of detailing to the creeks and river banks for some interest. I also did some detailing around other parts of the map which you'll get to see!
Once all that was done, then it was time for triple-checking that nothing was out of place, for instance, no trees dangling on cliffs, or swimming in the water, no props sticking through the networks, or any of that dreaded blue mantle under the bridges!
Needless to say, this project was only intended to update the roadways and other minor stuff, but this turned into a whole 50+ hour endeavor on completely overhauling the map, again! It's taken me a whole month and a half during my down time to get it just the way I want it, so I hope ya'll enjoy!

In the pictures taken, I built this map and uploaded it using the following mods:
Node Controller
Intersection Marking Tool

You DO NOT need to be subscribed to these items in order for the map to work or load. I have successfully loaded the map on a completely VANILLA play test with no issues.
I say again, YOU DO NOT NEED ANY MODS for this map.
In fact, you don't even need any DLC's either!

I just wanted to use these mods during my build to not only get some practice in, but to make the map more presentable to those of you that already have these mods. And besides, ya'll should definitely grab those mods! Very little or no noticeable performance changes to my game, and makes your roads look WAY COOLER!
