Description:

Tasteful Topography is a mod I bashed together while suffering from food poisoning over a weekend to solve an issue I had with the vanilla game: the medium zoom level feels boring.

This is my attempt at fixing that by modifying the visual topography from the incredible Better Map Graphics and a very stripped down version of Darker Water.

Compatibilty:

– Compatible with mods that change the paper map
– Mods that change the color of the water should be loaded after
– Compatible with mods that alter map terrain/add rivers and the like
– NOT compatible with mods that change the render distance of trees or holdings

Similar mods I use in addition to this:

Brighter Map
Snow with some patches
Snowfall Visual Effect
Reshade – I can’t get enough of the stuff. I didn’t use it for the screenshots, but I use Adaptive Sharpening and Ambient Light from the legacy addons.
