WIll this work with Oregon DLC? Just curious. Im a bit hesitant to try it, had several mods crashing the game and on disabling it kept kicking me back to garage and I was enjoying driving in Oregon so much lol.
Ah well might try and see what happens, though with new prefabs and stuff maybe this mod requires an update, again I’m not sure. Just like to keep the few ATS mods Grmes make, alive where possible cause they do bring nice pleasant changes to the game.

This mod is very stable as it only changes some graphics textures in the original 3 states of ATS, no changes are made to New Mexico or Oregon as SCS employed desaturation techniques in these states, so it will work without any issues.

Hi guys. Me again.
Just a thought, if this mod adjusts coloration, should it be used in addition to, Winter, Sumner etc mods ?
If so, below or above in mod list ?

This is just for the summer game, if you are using the mild winter or frosty then you don’t need this mod, mild winter includes decolouration and Frosty adds snow to the terrain etc so it’s not needed.

Long time fan of your mods. With 1.37 just arriving for ATS, do you have a time-frame for when you might possibly have a 1.37 compliant version of your environmental mods. Even better, do you know if the current versions would be stable in the latest build of ATS without updating? Thank you.
LikeLike
Spring and Real Companies should be released this week, followed by the other season mods over the next couple of weeks, this particular mod works with 1.37 and should continue to work with later versions but I’ll be changing this into a New Summer mod so ATS will have symmetry with my ETS2 mods.

Hi Grimes, just a heads-up, I went into the ATS 1.38 βeta with the New Summer mod and the 1.38 build is showing pink, purple, and green skies and other graphics anomalies. I took New Summer out and the sky and other graphics returned to normal. 1.38 is doing a visual improvement – procedural ambient occlusion generation (SSAO), whatever the heck that is, but it is conflicting with the New Summer graphics changes.
LikeLike
My mods always break after an update, I’m working on updating them at the moment and they should be ready once 1.38 is officially released. There’s a number of issues that need to be fixed and they also have to be updated in order to be ready for the Idaho dlc, as with each update I’ll make improvements to the mods as well. The ambient occlusion is actually quite a nice addition to the graphics, Frosty looks particularly good, I’ve been working on providing a Heavy Winter addon for the ATS version so that should also be ready.
LikeLiked by 1 person
Oh wow, the heavy winter is what I’ve always wanted for ATS, especially now that Idaho, and more importantly, Colorado, with the ski fields of Aspen, Telluride, and Beaver Creek. This will go down a treat for the eyeballs, this is indeed great news. I’m just starting to play around with the SSAO, it looks pretty interesting. This is the first βeta I’ve done and it is fascinating.

Many thanks Patrick, much appreciated, both the autumns will hopefully be realesed this week, winter will take a bit more time as there’s a lot to do, maybe 2 or 3 weeks.

That is great news going forward in ATS/ETS2 but seeing as how Autumn/Fall won’t officially hit until September 22, we seem to have time. Others may disagree with me and want to use the Autumn/Fall mods earlier, but I am such a stickler for official seasonal start dates, it’s like an obsession. That way I get a full 3 months driving each mod for every season. New Summer v1.0 got hijacked by SCS bringing out 1.38 when they did, so we didn’t get the full 3 months use out of it, but that’ll not be the case in 2021 when we’ll really get the full season with the New Summer v1.1. The new 1.38 version Spring mods will also be great to follow the new Frosty mods versions. Great things like the seasonal and graphic mods are worth waiting for. We all know this to be true. BTW, thanks for the update to Real Companies v2.0, much appreciated.

Any plan to update this mod to ATS 1.40?
I tried but got some crashes, so due to the reworked lighting in 1.40, it is no more compatible. But I really miss it!
Thanks

I’m in the process of updating my mods for 1.40, it’s a difficult update but hopefully they will be ready once 1.40 is officially released.

I think 1.40 came with some removed or renamed asset, since using the New Summer 1.2 on ATS 1.40, it works well until i drive some specific roads, so the game crashes always on exactly the same points. As if it tries to load something that cannot be found.
We can wait for your new release when it’s ready. Thanks.
