I dind but couldn't manage to get rid of the textures until i disabled "Theme Mixer".
Looks like, they were conflicting.

Just remove the mod. This mod is obsolete since they added Map Themes to base game.

This mod changed my default textures, whithout me wanting it. No undo possible? Please help

yeah found it out a few days ago, thanks bud and keep doing :)

This mod is not about map themes. Unsubscribe to this mod and terrain theme creator if you want to use "Map Themes" from the map theme workshop category. They are different things, this mod came before map theme feature of the game and is pretty much obsolete now.

How come when i select a custom map theme (before or after starting a new game) it's always the default one that appear, i never see the custom theme even if they are enabled ?
SSchorik0101 3 Dec, 2016 @ 3:41pm 
Please disregard. It stopped after one of the other mods I use got updated and I loaded my saved city. Thanks for your quick response. :steamhappy:
Katalepsis  [author] 3 Dec, 2016 @ 2:05pm 
Are you sure it's this mod causing that error? because it's not mentioned in the error text..
Katalepsis  [author] 3 Nov, 2016 @ 3:30pm 
Not a problem. Have fun :D
AVC29 3 Nov, 2016 @ 2:28pm 
Oh man! I didn't know that. So sorry for wasting your time :-(
AddictivePenguin 3 Nov, 2016 @ 12:03pm 
@TPB ☠ Well, that's helpful xD I am pretty sure the creator of that Theme had this mod as a requirement! Lol, well, thanks for the help.

@AVC29 I think this will be helpful for you as well
Katalepsis  [author] 3 Nov, 2016 @ 11:52am 
guys... you don't need this mod to use "map themes" from workshop. They added the feature to vanilla game, this mod is obsolete *unless* you want to use one of a handful of themes that were made specifically for it. Mediterranean Alternative is not for use with this mod, just unsub from this mod if you plan to use normal map themes from the "Map Theme" workshop category.
AddictivePenguin 3 Nov, 2016 @ 11:44am 
Having the same problem, playing on a Temperate environment and using the popular Mediterranean Alternative theme. Mod doesn't work since 2-3 days ago (approximately).

I doubt this is a compatibility problem, none of my few mods have updated and I've changed nothing in my game recently. Pretty much no textures load.
AVC29 3 Nov, 2016 @ 1:58am 
So I turned off all my mods. I only enabled the Terrain Themes Mod, however none of my downloaded and turned-on Terrain Themes (which all show up as activated in content manager) show up in the dropdown menu inside the TTM options screen :-(
AVC29 3 Nov, 2016 @ 12:24am 
Thanks for the suggestions :-) I will give all those a go!
Katalepsis  [author] 2 Nov, 2016 @ 2:45pm 
You could also try unsubscribing from this mod and the themes and resubbing, to see if that helps, maybe when you cleared your mods something went wrong and they didnt download properly.
Katalepsis  [author] 2 Nov, 2016 @ 2:44pm 
It works on my end... so not sure what it could be... sorry. Does it happen on all maps? Can you test on a few different maps of different environments? One thing you can try is opening the xml files of the themes and setting biomes all to true
Katalepsis  [author] 2 Nov, 2016 @ 2:39pm 
hmm, k well, thats odd, I'll test it one sec
AVC29 2 Nov, 2016 @ 2:28pm 
It's a tropical environment, but even the tropical themes don't show up.
Katalepsis  [author] 2 Nov, 2016 @ 6:46am 
AVC29: what environment is the map you're playing? Boreal, Tropical, Temperate, Europe, or Winter?
AVC29 2 Nov, 2016 @ 3:55am 
Hi there, I used to love this mod, but recently I have noticed that it has stopped working. I have started a new game, made sure that the downloaded themes are turned on, I select the theme at the beginning but have only rhe default textures when the game loads. I'm on a Mac, but it used to work. Recently I cleared all my mods and assets from the game and started from scratch, and since then it has stopped working. The mod is turned on in Content Manager, but in-game when I go to the mod options only the default (Improved Tropical etc) themes are available, none of the ones I downloaded. Any ideas?
Katalepsis  [author] 1 Nov, 2016 @ 5:44pm 
you don't need this mod if you're just going to use built-in map theme functionality, this mod is obsolete, unsubscribe then you will see your Realistic Temperate.
Deploy The Boi 1 Nov, 2016 @ 5:35pm 
I started a map project using a Realistic Temperate theme. Now when I load it it default back to the Vanilla textures even though when I load the map I specifically pick the ''Realistic Temperate theme''. What gives?
Katalepsis  [author] 23 Oct, 2016 @ 4:30pm 
you're welcome. Yeah I don't have it either, but we all got a game update when it was released :D I'll let you know if I find the problem
sizequeen74 23 Oct, 2016 @ 4:27pm 
I don't have the stadium dlc, btw. Thanks for your help and awesome work. Appreciate it, sir.
Katalepsis  [author] 23 Oct, 2016 @ 4:25pm 
maybe its something with the latest update from stadiums dlc, i will check it out tomorrow
sizequeen74 23 Oct, 2016 @ 4:22pm 
I have downloaded maps that have spefic themes. I have downloaded said themes and any/all items needed like trees or bushes, etc. They just don't work. I'm not sure that it's biome specific as nothing seems to work for any map save my earlier examples.
Katalepsis  [author] 23 Oct, 2016 @ 4:07pm 
could be that you don't have other themes that are not restricted in tropical btw, worth checking
New Caledonia is for tropical, maybe the others you have are not allowed in tropical biome.
Katalepsis  [author] 23 Oct, 2016 @ 4:06pm 
Strange, I didn't change anything... I'll test it tomorrow. Sorry
sizequeen74 23 Oct, 2016 @ 4:04pm 
This no longer works for me. I used to use it all of the time, but now it just offers me the improved default options. I have this mod enabled. I have downloaded and created themes. In game I go to select one of the thmese and I only have New Caledonia and improved tropical, boreal, etc. Any ideas?
Katalepsis  [author] 24 Sep, 2016 @ 7:21am 
Been meaning to publish these as map themes. I'll get it done later. 😀
Zero 23 Sep, 2016 @ 5:03pm 
Those improved textures wouldn't happen to be available under the new system too, would they? I really like how the water looks in this.
Katalepsis  [author] 21 Sep, 2016 @ 2:55am 
Of course it does, since those are map themes. This mod conflicts with all map themes and in fact this mod is obsolete, the only reason I haven't removed it is because 17k people are still using it.
ihatearial 20 Sep, 2016 @ 10:08pm 
This mods also conflicts with "Realistic" mods by Captain Soap when the option "Use improved Default Texture" is on.
Katalepsis  [author] 20 Jul, 2016 @ 1:29am 
Don't need this anymore, there's a terrain editor in the game now.
CECTPA_MAPUHA 19 Jul, 2016 @ 3:05pm 
Don't work with Snowfall!
lunarwolf2012 12 May, 2016 @ 3:04pm 
improved boreal looks like simcity 4 default textures kinda.
Katalepsis  [author] 23 Apr, 2016 @ 12:31pm 
Theme editor sort of replaced it, but personally I still like this mod better, because you can work on any map, while inside a city. So you have more creative freedom. By contrast the game's Theme Editor comes with only one map, and you can't build anything last I checked. With this mod you can open any city/map, and edit the themes/colors right in the game. However, this mod doesnt cover everything the Theme Editor does.
chimochay 21 Apr, 2016 @ 2:20am 
Did the theme editor essentially replace this or does this extend the functionality?
Ennedi 27 Feb, 2016 @ 10:53am 
A comment to my previous message:
You can also use the Terrain Themes Creator and make another terrain theme in the environment created in Theme Editor. You see your changes immediately and you can adjust some parameters (such as tiling factor and offset values for fertile land, oil and ore) which aren't available in Theme Editor.
So I think everything is OK and both TPB's terrain theme mods are still extremely useful :)
Ennedi 27 Feb, 2016 @ 10:52am 
I can confirm that TPB's Terrain Themes Mod is fully compatible with the new Theme Editor. I can say even more - we can use these two tools together in a very nice way :).
You can open the Theme Editor, choose one of five basic themes (Boreal, European, Temperate, Tropical, Winter - the new one) and create the custom theme which is a variant of the basic one. You can fine-tune the environment (lighting, fog, rain, snow etc), adjust some texture parameters and you can even use custom textures (if you put them to your AppData>Local>Colossal Order>Cities Skylines>Addons>Theme Editor>Theme Textures). Then your new theme will appear as an option when you will load maps which use the same basic theme.
And now you can use any custom terrain theme in the environment you just created in Terrain Theme Editor. All you need is to open Terrain These Mod and choose the custom mod from the list. These two tools together greatly increase the amount of variants of your custom terrain.

This is an 'ideal' mod for those who don't want to use the new "in-game" theme editor. In some ways, this one IS actually better than the theme editor. I think it's more user preference. Some might prefer this one, some might prefer the theme editor. Glad to hear it's still compatible with snowfall though!

This mod is probably what inspired CO to add the theme editor to begin with.
marinovich.91 21 Feb, 2016 @ 5:12pm 
Can anyone help and upload me default trexture for garvel.
Katalepsis  [author] 20 Feb, 2016 @ 2:51pm 
You can use bloodypenguin's mod to change themes for existing cities. However, you can't edit them while in-game with a city open, so this mod still has some uses if you want to fine tune things. Additionally, the new Theme Editor forces you to use their own default map to work on, and you cant put in buildings to test your textures etc. So yeah, this mod can still has its uses.
tsutomu 20 Feb, 2016 @ 12:34pm 
Not obsolete. It is compatible with snowfall. Just tested with snowy theme and it works. It adds just more heavy snow all around. Things which snowfall map doesn't make by default.
boformer  [author] 20 Feb, 2016 @ 12:20pm 
With the Environment Changer mod you can.
Gfurst 20 Feb, 2016 @ 12:16pm 
hey thanks for the mod, but I got news for ya... its not obsolete
apparently CO made another gem design mistake and doesn't allow to change themes for existing save cities
agusingnavy 20 Feb, 2016 @ 1:54am 
Seguro TPB, vos tenès la capacidad e inteligencia paral lograr algo mucho mejor. Siempre vas a tener mi apoyo, my friend.
Katalepsis  [author] 20 Feb, 2016 @ 12:54am 
no, ni siquiera mencionaron a mi o a mi mod, ni se diga de "morning papers", pero bueno, en verdad mi mod es mucho pero mucho mejor que su "Theme Editor", asi que cuando tenga tiempo lo voy a mejorar y ver si aun funciona porque tiene funcionalidades que el theme editor no tiene, por ejemplo, poder editar los themes directamente en el juego y ver los resultados en cualquier mapa, con edificios presentes, etc.
