Viewer's choice top 40

thanks for the thumbs up. i put a lot of effort into the map in many details, for example perfect water balancing to have those small islands the way they are etc

maybe there are some mods interfering on your system. for me it works perfectly fine. just read the descriptions of the mods you install, and for time to time check all your mods, if they are still up to date.

In map editor I removed more than half of all the trees (i have now about 200.000 instead of over 500.000). Now the map works for me, even though I had the unlimited trees mod installed and it shouldn't have been a problem. (I also removed the painter mod, but I don't know if that was actually the issue).
Just letting anyone know if they're running into the same issue.

Thank you so much for uploading this beautiful map, I'm having a ton of fun playing!

Unfortunately, I have the same problem as samdwalter.
It gives me this error message: NullReferenceException: Object reference not set to an instance of an object
I would love to play with that map as it looks stunningly beautiful in the pictures.

first thing i would do on your position, is start map with loading screen mod, to ensure that i have enough ram, and there are no errors. second is to check all my mods, there might be something conflicting or deprecated

Im having a bit of a problem with this map. I dont know what im doing wrong, but whenever i try to start a game with this map, the map is seriously messed up upon start. SOme roads are missing, terrain is jacked up, cant advance time at all, cant buy new tiles, cant place anything. Its just so weird.

I have all the required workshop items installed, so its not like im being seriously stupid about something, but there may be somesting stupid that im doing wrong, but I dont know. Do you know any way to fix this?

thank you so much! I actually already have fine road anarchy, mass transit, and network extensions 2. I will definitely look into the theme, it's very pretty!

sure you can run it without most of them, the missing objects will just not appear.
but you have to have following:
- fine road anarchy - otherwise you cant use the placed highways, they are too close together to connect to them with vanilla rules.
- mass transit, or you wont have highways
i recommend the tropical beauty theme, its not the biggest, so should be not problem, it makes the map way better
and i recommend network extensions, or some roads on random locations will be missing.

is it possible to run this without most of the "required" mods? some of them aren't even prop or theme mods. I like the shape of this map but please, I have a low-end pc, and if I try to load that much junk into my game it will probably catch fire. I don't care about aesthetics, I just like the shape of the map.

i love it

@MF1-K try my san francisco map. Its completely vanilla. but be warned. The quality and aesthetic is much much lower then here. You can either have a very beautiful map with much detail with a lot of assets, or a somewhat meeh map with vanilla from me. I wont do something in between.
This map runs perfectly fine on a decent machine. If you have a potato, search for Vanilla maps. Vanilla restricts so hard, that you cant place much^^

this is perfect for my city if it didn't have so many assets and mass transit.

Sips is a Youtuber turned Twitch streamer who has done a lot of C:S, probably the biggest Youtube channel to do C:S in terms of subs. As for the interchange, and please don't take offence, but it looks kinda like a penis, and Sips makes a lot of his interchanges look like one. I highly recommend you check him out. He has a very unique sence of humor, and a play style that you'll love but hate at the same time. If you're mad, I'm sorry.

@maroha3814: sorry, i am not an native spreaker, i dont get what are you saying :) pls explain.

Sips would appreciate that interchange in picture 5

Great map! awsome detailing! I envy you for your patience

This is the best map I've ever seen.great landform,great network and so on.thx, the great CertainDeath.

Seems to work fine for me.
Altho I haven't started a city, too busy as yet, but I have loaded it and moved around the map to take a look.
I wouldn't worry too much about the ratings, any map will not please everyone. It would be nice tho if those who didn't like it would leave constructive feedback.
It is a resource demanding map, not potato friendly. Also it does need a lot from the workshop.
The elevated roads might put some off, as well as the construction in the start square.
I'm not trying to sound neg, I have praised and up voted the map, just trying to offer a response to your post.

Well done on a speedy release.

This looks to have some great potential, thanks for sharing.

Update is out. Pls read description. Have Fun.

Changelog:
- Rerouted a railroad section from elevated above an interchange through a tunnel underneath the intersection
- changed position of many trees
- added ~6000 Trees manually one by one to let certain forests to apear denser.
- Tweaks to shipping routes, the ships made crazy looking sliding curves... they still do, but not so bad as before.
- added a few more creeks and made a bit of mountain terraforming and some more changes to existing rivers
- changed a 4 lane road shortcut raod to 2 lane highway at the start area circleway, as every car drove through the circle instead of taking the intended shortcut.
- added quays and pedestrian paths at the harbour
- added one of the 2 hydros, as the valley looked to empty without it
- some minor tweaks

I will try my very best to hold fire awaiting this lovely map :)

Many thanks for your reply and also for considering the need for Network Skins and it not being required..

@Vimes: The update will come in 1-3 hours, and will be pretty much final. I am just gonna make a last check tour ingame, if everything which i changed works as intended, cause some behaviours are different from editor to actual game.

About Network Skins, yeah you are right, its not necesary, i will remove it from depedency list. I just was not sure when i created the list, better be safe then sorry :)
Thank you for your hint.

Thanks for the heads up on your intent to update this map shortly.

It does seem to be most impressive.

I'll hold off from starting a new city using it due to what you note.

Is there a genuine need for the Network Skins mod...? I ask because that one does seem to cause and FPS / stutter issues as the city gets larger, it is noted in thread for that mod also.

Thank you Johny! Nice to hear.

For those of you, which want to play the map, and have not startet yet, be adviced.
There will be another update in the next 1-2 days, there were still some flaws and nice to haves i found, while playing.
You will only see the changes, if you start a new game with the map.

Thank you CertainDeath, this map is truly amazing and has made me fall in love with the game again. It truly is a masterpiece of a map!!

This looks really great!
