Description:

Glacier Fjord map theme has sand that looks like snow, so you can paint the mountaintops to look snowy while the rest of your city is still green. The water is calm, and can reflect whatever sky is above! Use Cubemap Replacer to do this – directions below. Daylight Classic mod required (or Relight etc mods if you know how to use them). You will burn your eyes without it.

This theme has custom names – 150+ modders, creators and streamers of our community are all around you. Districts, streets, growables and peoples’ last names are all named for creators! The only thing I didn’t finish was the residential buildings. It was already a huge amount of work put in, and I got tired 😀

This theme includes textures shared by Markfire, Pdelmo, Ronyx69. These are modified, some heavily, but without the original artists’ kind sharing, this theme would not exist. Others come from textures.com.

– Update 1: Lighting exposure reduced, Ruined, gravel, oil, ore, grass textures and water colors tweaked, replaced poor-looking 1024 pixel pavement with a 2048 pixel version of Ronyx69’s Starburg pavement

HOW TO MAKE THE OPTIONAL CLOUD REFLECTIONS

In order for Cubebox Mod and Daylight Classic to be able to display the cloud reflections, you will need an older copy of Daylight Classic.
1. Unsubscribe from the workshop Daylight Classic
2. Download the older version here https://www.dropbox.com/s/t6i2lupfuif4ch7/DaylightClassic.zip?dl=0
3. Place it in a folder you create called DaylightClassic here: C:UsersYOURUSERNAMEAppDataLocalColossal OrderCities_SkylinesAddonsMods
4. In content manager activate Daylight Classic and make sure "Classic Fog effect" is on, activate Cubebox Mod as well. Load your game, hit the Cubebox mod button, enjoy sky reflections in any theme that has calm waters!
5. Be sure Cloud and Fog Toggler is not disabling anything except pollution, or else you may have an awful horizon that is either dark or odd-colored.

PROS
– EYE CANDY! A bit more realism in the way water looks
– Lakeside / marsh / fjord cities will look great with the calm waters

CONS
– Must use Daylight Classic with Classic Fog Effect activated
– Must deactivate Dynamic Weather
– Cannot use nighttime. Daylight Classic will likely never be developed to be able to work at nighttime. It was planned but may or may not be developed in the future
– Eye candy purposes only – reflections are static and of the clouds only, so it does not reflect dynamic things like ships nor city reflections.
