Sunset Falls Harbor – Vanilla Map – by Sidai

Welcome to Sunset Falls Harbor Bay Area, a marvelous plain vanilla styled map. This map is for all of you who dont want to download thousands of thousand of assets from the workshop and still want to have a good looking and detailed map.

Also designed with the Industries and Sunset Harbor DLCs in mind. You don’t need any DLC to play this map, but if you do, there is plenty of flat space with Ore, Oil and fertile Land to build heavy duty industrie zones and plenty of water areas with all four fish types.

For easy start there is already some MW of energy provided by wind turbines, powerlines are placed right into the start zone. Also there are already water towers and sewage plants working (on the edge of the map) with water pipes also placed into the start tile. So you can start your city without worrying about first to have build some basic infrastructure.

General notes

This map is based on mountain ranges from Utah, USA and the harbor arey is based on San Diego, USA. Some features of map are nearly 1:1 to real life, but at the same time it’s also highly modified for better looks and playability.

Map Collection

NO MAP COLLECTION OR REQUIRED ITEMS, THIS! IS! VANILLA!

For the better looks i recommend to subscribe to the map theme and LUT. But you don’t need them, the map is also fully playable without them.

Features

temperate theme
Optimized for 9 tiles, 25 tiles or 81 tiles gameplay. You decide.
All outside connections available
Plenty of flat space spread over the map to build.
Mountains and hidden places.
already placed and working power generation plants
already placed and working water and sewage plants
big harbor area

It’s best suited for 81 Map Tiles, these are very detailed and optimized. There is a ship route available into the river to the starting tile. The routes are not interconnected to avoid stupid ships driving around like crazy.

Graphic and Gameplay options
If the map is too dark or to bright, DISABLE AND/OR RESET ALL YOUR GRAPHIC MODS! Especially Daylight classic, Relight and Ultimate Eyecandy. This is a vanilla map!

But i highly recommend you to subscribed to the attached Map Theme and LUT. You may also want to subscribe to AD Clouds Enabler Mod.

The following visual settings work well with this Map:

Notes on map themes

I specifically designed this map for the map theme "Reaper_Real_Temperate_and_Boreal_V1" from Reaper. The map theme is only recommended, the map is fully playable without it.

Notes on trees

I plopped around 200k trees, so there are 50k left for you to plopp or you use the Unlimited trees Mod.

Notes on intersections and roads

I used the following premade intersections:

All credits go the the respective creators. Some intersections are slightly changed and all Mass Transit intersections are upgraded (or downgraded) to Vanilla Roads.

Final notes

For gameplay on all 81 tiles, please subscribe to 81 Tiles mod by BloodyPenguin.

Screenshots were taken with Reaper_Real_Temperate_and_Boreal_V1 theme and Reaper_Realistic_Final_V1 LUT. Use Ultimate Eyecandy mod by Judazzz for even more options to adjust visuals to whatever you like.
