Northsund Bay is a pristine beach and camp site in the midst of spectacular landscapes and seascapes.

General notes

True to life map made using awesome Terrain Party[terrain.party]. The easiest way to get real-world height maps for Cities: Skylines.

Real World Location: No real location this Time. The map is based on Pelican Lagoon in Australia (no, really!) and i added some mountains from the Death Valley.

Map Collection

In general you only need the assets and mods listed to the right. This is the basic detail level of the map. If you want the full detail experience then subscribe to all the assets in the collection. For easy subscription click "Subscribe to all" in the following collection: Northsund Bay – Map Asset Collection – all Required Items in one Click

Features
  • Temperate theme.
  • Optimized for 81 tiles gameplay.
  • All outside connections available
  • Plenty of flat space to build.
  • Mountains in the background, flat area in the middle for easy build.
  • Mountains, Islands, built in Hydro electric dam.
  • Custom made intersections.

It’s best suited for 81 Map Tiles, these are very detailed and optimized. There are ship routes available so reach all flat areas and Bays, but they are not interconnected to avoid stupid ships driving around like crazy.

If you unlock the tile with the Hydro electric dam, they water is behaving a little crazy. Just give simulation some time, the water finds the riverbed by itself.

Notes on map themes

I specifically designed this map for the map theme Aiguille Verte. The map theme is only recommended, the map is fully playable without it. Because the sand acts as snow texture, you may have to remove it from the mountains for other themes

Notes on trees

Because it’s a really dense forest, i had to plopp more trees than the game allowes – ~700k instead of 250k. Because of that the Unlimited trees mod is listed as dependency.

If you don’t like subscribe to the trees, grass or filler patches, they just don’t appear ingame.

Notes on intersections and roads

I used the following premade intersections:

All credits go the the respective creators.
