After taking a break from modding I spent 100hrs or so on Elm Creek to enjoy all the new features. Elm Creek is a fantastic base map and I am thankful Giants listened to player feedback. I also couldn't help notice some similarities to Griffin Indiana 19 and this inspired me to fully rebuild my map.
The single biggest improvement is replacing all 10,250 trees, none of them are scaled or buried to make them cuttable and sandbox friendly. Speaking of sand box there are now 95 Farmlands and all of the farm buildings on the Main farm and Auxiliary farms are sellable. The houses on the Aux farms are not sellable to help keep slot count down. I replaced many of the buildings on the map to FS22 while keeping some of the Iconic buildings from FS17/FS19 for variety. I also incorporated Production buildings and Production Lots in town. When you purchase production buildings you will acquire the land as well.
As of now the file size for GRIN22 is 182mb vs 219mb for GRIN19. I am expecting the slot count to be in the 300-350 range but unsure at this time. To me GRIN22 will be a huge Improvement to GRIN19 and I hope you will all agree
This Thread will be the go to place for all things Griffin Indiana 22 related
Please try to use Spoilers if you need to copy my post for any future feedback. I tend to have rather long posts and I'm trying to limit the text walls. Thank you in advance.
