Mods

1. 81 Tiles – obviously to fit the whole region onto the map.
2. Adaptive Prop Visibility Distance – some assets (like large cranes, which are crucial part of the landscape) had no LOD and kept disappearing too soon.
3. Advanced Toolbar – I have ~1300 assets, so this was necessary to easily navigate trough them.
4. Advanced Vehicle Options (AVO) – to remove vanilla vehicles (nearly completely) and to increase bus capacity to realistic values (from 30 to 130 in some cases)
5. Any Road Outside Connections – some roads that leave the map are not highways (and I’m not sure I could make a connection with the two way highway, anyway)
6. No Buoys Mod – I have a ferry going from Prypiat to Chernobyl and buoys look dumb.
7. Catenary Replacer – vanilla catenaries didn’t quite look the part, so I replaced them with German ones, only to later on remove them completely (I will add them later on with the prop line tool).
8. Clouds & Fog Toggler – clouds were slightly annoing when building and the edge fog needed to be removed in order to build near the very edges of the map.
9. Configure Outside Connections’ Limits – to limit the dummy traffic that just went from one connection to the other.
10. CSL Show More Limits – just in case I get any close to prop or agent limit (not even close right now).
11. Cubemap Replacer – because it’s much prettier.
12. Daylight Classic – required by Cubemap Replacer and also the sun position is incorrect when in default mode.
13. Decal Hover Area – to remove that slight annoyance.
14. Decal Prop Fix – I use a lot of large decals.
15. Dropouts – Chernobyl has a lot of industry and a lot of schools, so this mod helps me get the workers with appropriate education levels.
16. Dynamic Resolution – I run it on 150%, to make things look nicer. I bump it up to 300% for screenshot time.
17. Extra Landscaping Tools – to help me landscape.
18. Find It! – again, 1300 assets.
19. Fine Road Anarchy and Fine Road Tool – for that extra control on roads.
20. Flood Damage Control [BETA] – I didn’t realize floods destroyed buildings until my docks disappeared.
21. Force Level Up – required by Plop the Growables.
22. Less Steam – to reduce that bit of unnecessary network traffic.
23. Loading Screen Mod [Test] – 10 GBs of assets in under 1 minute.
24. Mesh Info – Some asstes I download are not optimized, so I use this mod to control the strain on my pc.
25. More Beautification – this should be Vanilla.
26. More Network Stuff – I needed to draw the ship paths in-game.
27. Move It! – this is the absolute basic must-have.
28. Network Extensions 2 – I use the smallest roads and zonable pedestrian roads across the map.
29. Network Skins (Mass Transit compatible) - it was very important to remove the street lights – most of the national roads across eastern Europe are not illuminated. Also, the vanilla lights are quite boring.
30. No Abandonment – I’m trying to build Chernobyl, but not an abandoned one.
31. No Deathcare – for the time of building to reduce the annoyance. I will think of turning it off later
32. No Radioactive Desert And More! – to get rid of the ground pollution (I know, Chernobyl, right?) and to let the trees grow on the river banks
33. No Seagulls – no comment
34. One-Way Train Tracks – some stations use this
35. OverLayer v2 – to lay over the satellite image when building
36. Plop the Growables – some assets don’t come in RICO flavor. Also, there are some cool vanilla industry building I can use
37. Ploppable Asphalt – for detailing purposes
38. Ploppable RICO [UPDATED] – I plop all the buildings on the map
39. Precision Engineering – for extra control
40. Prefab Hook (Mod Dependency) – required by some mods
41. Prop & Tree Anarchy – to allow detailing
42. Prop it Up! 1.3.0 – to replace vanilla trees
43. Prop Line Tool [PLT] (vAlpha) – detailing purposes
44. Prop Precision – detailing purposes
45. Prop Remover – some vanilla buildings look good without all the unnecessary crap
46. Prop Snapping – to snap props on top of things
47. Quay Anarchy – in case I need any quays
48. Random Tree Rotation – to make trees more natural
49. Remove Need For Power Lines – probably to be turned off later in the process
50. Remove Road Props – mainly to get rid of roadsigns
51. Remove Street Arrows – most roads in Chernobyl don’t have them
52. Service Vehicle Selector 2 (r3.1.0) – I don’t think I use it now – will investigate
53. Sharp Textures – for that extra crispness
54. Ship Path Anarchy – the river is quite narrow in some parts and wouldn’t allow me to place the path
55. SingleTrainTrackAI – the rail line going trough Chernobyl Zone is a single two-way track, so my trains kept getting stuck opposite each other
56. Softer Shadows – vanilla is ugly
57. Sub-Buildings Enabler (DEPRECATED) – some mods still require it, so I went with it
58. Surface Painter – this should be vanilla as well
59. Traffic Manager: President Edition – I mostly use the lane connector and yield rules
60. Unlimited Money (Vanilla) – obviously
61. Unlimited Oil and Ore (Vanilla
62. Unlimited Soil (Vanilla)
63. Unlimited Outside Connections (Beta) – around 13 connections across the map
64. Unlock All (Vanilla)
