ENN Rock Mod Set contains custom rock textures. The modpack contains the following three sets of rock textures that were available on the former SC4Devotion LEX separately.

  • NHP ENN RockMod Set1 SD_2103
  • NHP ENN RockMod Set2 HD_2104
  • NHP ENN RockMod Set3 HD_2105

Two rock sets are high-definition (HD) textures, so you must have SC4 running in hardware rendering mode (DirectX Rendering)

You can choose only one of them. Please read the readme carefully.

Information

SD version of  rock textures have generally worse quality, which is not much visible in zooms 1-3, but it can be easy seen in Zoom 4, 5 and especially in Zoom 6. However I tried to make this SD version as good as possible and I hope some of you will like it.

The single texture tile covers relatively small part of the viewing area at the default Terrain Properties settings, it is valid for all terrain-related textures. Because of it we can see some repetitions if we use textures with contrasting details. New terrain mods will significantly decrease this effect, but now  I had to adjust  some most detailed rock textures to current game settings. I brightened some shadows and made textures less contrasting to make repetitions less visible. Final versions of  these textures will be released together with new terrain mods.

You can easily remove most repetitions if you only have some patience and terraforming skills. It can be done by a few clicks of the terraforming tool on the rocky wall. God Mode "make mountain", Make valley" and "make shallow canyon" (sorry I translate from Polish) with the size decreased to Shift 2 - Shift 3 and the strength decreased to Shift F2 - Shift F4 are especially useful in this task.

 Compatibility
This download is compatible with all SimCity 4 versions.
Rock mods from this set will not be compatible with new generation terrain mods. You will need to use Set 2 and Set 3 (or future updates) if you will still want to use these textures.
 Installation

Installation: This download doesn't contain an Installer. Unpack the zip file and save the content somewhere, then choose one rock mod according to your taste and install it in Plugins.
You can install the rock mod anywhere in Plugins, but  I suggest to keep it in the terrain mod folder. That's a good habit which prevents you  against  losing the mod somewhere in Plugins. Cycledogg's terrain mods include their own rock mods and you should remove them if you want to use another one.  Installing the new mod into the same folder you will see if you did it or not.

Un-Installing: To un-install the files, simply delete the files from the plugins folder. Then you should replace them by another custom rock mod or you will see the Maxis default rock.

 File Paths

There is no installer so there are no paths, please install the mod as described above.

 Dependencies

This mod doesn't have any dependencies. 

 Credits
This mod was made in cooperation with Silvio (Rayden) and Chris (Chrisadams3997) as a part of a larger project of redesigning all terrain-related textures. Thanks guys for your continous support!
