Graphical Map Improvements

New HD terrain textures.
More emphasized and better-looking seasons.
Darker and more colourful water.
Shadows removed from the terrain, thereby making it easier to see borders (Version WITH shadows further down).
Thicker font for country and province names.
Easier-to-see country, province and state borders.
Larger occupation lines.



MOD COMPATIBILITIES: This mod should be compatible with any other mod that doesn't change the way the map looks (this doesn't include new provinces and countries etc, only aesthetic changes).









The base version must also stay active for these to work.

You can activate any of these mods in any combination, except for two:

• 'Terrain Shadows' & 'No Snow Overlay'
• 'Darker Water' & 'Extended Timeline'

If you want to combine either of those you must instead subscribe to the dedicated mods 'No Snow Overlay w/ Terrain Shadows' and 'Extended Timeline Darker Water' respectively.



These should only really be used if you can't get the workshop version to work or are trying to download an older version of the mod.

Instructions:

1. Extract/unzip the package and place both the 'graphicmap.mod' file and the 'graphicmap' folder into Documents\Paradox Interactive\Europa Universalis IV\mod\.

If you have 1.29 or newer:

2. Make sure you activate the LOCAL MOD in the launcher rather than the workshop version with the thumbnail.

3. Make sure that the base version "Graphical Map Improvements" stays active when activating the submods as well.




If you have issues with the mod not downloading, activating, updating, the map appearing glitchy, or anything like that, try deleting everything inside 'Documents\Paradox Interactive\Europa Universalis IV\mod\' as well as everything inside 'Program Files\Steam\steamapps\workshop\content\236850\' and then wait for the mods to redownload themselves.

Alternatively, there may be mod compatibility issues, so checking which mods are enabled could help. Also, remember that if you are using submods you must activate the base mod as well for them to work.


If the above solutions don't work, it's probably best to use the direct download links above to install the mod manually. Make sure you follow the instructions carefully.



I support anyone using my mod in any way and reuploading it as long as they give me credit in the description of their mod.
