Tropical Square Map Skirt Fix
Makes the border of the Tropical (square / flat) Sandbox map actually look tropical.
On the Tropical square Sandbox map, the terrain "skirt" - the decorative, non-buildable border terrain that frames your park - is covered in temperate conifers that clash with the lush biome inside your boundary. This mod repoints that border vegetation to the map's tropical foliage, so the forest around the edge of the world matches the jungle you're building in.
Features
-
[]Replaces the out-of-place coniferous border vegetation with tropical foliage on the Tropical square / flat Sandbox map.[/]
[]Loose-file install - no ACSE, no OVL repacking, no dependencies.[/]
[]Does not modify any stock game archive.[/]
Installation
-
[]Recommended: back up your stock file first - copy Sandbox_01_Tropical_Flat.terrainSkirtData from the folder below to somewhere safe.[/]
[]Drop the included Sandbox_01_Tropical_Flat.terrainSkirtData into:
...\steamapps\common\Jurassic World Evolution 3\TerrainSkirts\Square[/]
[]Overwrite when prompted, then load the Tropical square Sandbox map.[/]
Uninstall
Restore your backup, or use Steam -> right-click the game -> Properties -> Installed Files -> Verify integrity of game files.
Known limitations
-
[]On the first load of the map, a few conifers may still spawn inside the playable area. The in-game Woodland (foliage) tool places tropical plants correctly, so this is a minor cosmetic quirk.[/]
[]The map's loading-screen image still shows the stock temperate scene - that asset lives in a UI archive that can't currently be overridden cleanly, so it is left untouched.[/]
[]Because the skirt is a loose file, running Steam's "Verify integrity of game files" reverts it. Just re-copy the mod file afterward.[/]
Requirements
None. ACSE is not required.
