Terrain Mod graphic bug

Hello! im experiencing som graphical/texture issues with the Italia Terrain Mod and the Pyrenean Terrain Mod.

 

I love these mods because of their green grass nice looking texture. After i installed it i runs smoothly until i begin to zone new development or plop tings or raise the ground to make overpasses etc.

 

And then the italia terrain mod suddenly lose its nice green look and get fully covered with yellow small flower dots which in my opinion looks awful, it also lowers the texture graphic and even transport tycoon from the 90s looks better.

 

The Pyrenean mod I'm experiencing the same issue as described (after zoning, plopping etc) but this mod goes from green grass to a desert like sand mod. Which doesnt look good in the suburbs, downtown etc and look horrible with the tree mod etc.

 

These bugs goes back to normal sometimes, but for the most time their not looking like they should do?

 

My game runs on hardware. Any help/tips or anyone else with the same issue?

I suspect that this is because of the seasons. Most terrain mods have different textures according to the season it is in-game. But please provide a screenshot so we can see the situation ourselves :)

    Here you can see the difference. This happened just now as we speak.

    I load up the game, it was green, i just zoned a tiny small residential zone, scrolled out and in, and the desert was there.

     

    It is similar with other terrain mods, such as the italia terrain mod.

    I am pretty sure that what you see is the seasonal variation of the mod (all terrain mods I used had it too). There are basically two textures and they alternate during the in-game year. I'm not sure if this is something that can easily be disabled, someone with more knowledge about modding might know that...

    From the GUI, the second shot is in the winter.  Are you usually running cheetah speed?  If so, gear down and smell the roses in the spring.  The snapshot shows turtle speed.

    It cant be just be seasonal, cus it never change when seasons change, as it supposed to do? it always changes when i do something in the city (zoning, plopping, raising/lowering ground) and then it stays that way until i restart the game!

    Well, I hope you are aware that you can have only one terrain mod at a time, and if you change mods you pretty much have to start a new region.  Switching terrain mods is fraught with strange things including the inability to run the game at all.
