About This File

UPDATE: new cliff texture that matches orange rock better.
An orange and white sandstone desert mod, loosely based onthe Colorado Plateau area of the southwestern US. This mod changes the ground textures of undeveloped areas of your city to give it a southwestern US look. Lower elevations are orange sandstone or orange dirt/gravel, with areas of sagebrush or other sparse vegetation. Higher up is a band of white rock/dirt/clay, (also with sparse vegetation in some areas.) As the elevation increases above the band of white rock/dirt/clay, the terrain becomes more densely covered with sagebrush, and then, above the sagebrush, green and grassy. On very high mountains, you will find flowering alpine meadows, rock outcroppings, scree slopes, and snowy ravines. So really, you get a lot of variety with this mod if your terrain has a lot of variation in elevation.

This mod is not compatible with other terrain mods, (such as the Snowcapped terrain mod, the Desert mod, the Columbus mod, the Missouri Breaks mod, the Olympic mod, the Moab mod, etc) but it is compatible with custom beach textures, custom water textures and custom cliff textures (such as Peg's cliff mods).

CRASH ALERT!:
You must have both of the following files installed when using this mod or the game will crash to the desktop when you try to open a city.
CPT_No3_TerrainTextures.dat
CPT_No4_TerrainTextures.dat

Please read the readme for other important information.

Though it doesn't look -exactly- like the painted desert (missing the white areas and the near-violet-but-almost-red rock), it's still an excellent job. The area is beautiful, even though I've only seen it once or twice.

This is a great mod. Now if I could only get it to look like it does in your pic! That is breath-taking. Stuckinsuburbia4 - You just have to delete it from the plug-ins folder. When you start the game it will still show the mod in the region view, so you have to load each city to get it to change back to normal.
