    My first map mod!

    Hey all! I'm not a modder and I've never created a mod before but today I tried to create my own custom map for Sulani using screenshots from the actual worlds and blending that with the existing map. It's not the best mod ever made but I'm pretty happy with it for a first timer so I wanted to share it :)
    The Original Map:

    My Map:

    There's some weird graphical issues and dark spots which I plan to fix at a later stage, I think I'm gonna try editing into it some more later to bring it all together but I'm pretty proud of this for a first effort!

      I really love it, but would it work in an existing game where I've replaced all the homes with gallery homes? I don't want to mess up my save and the houses I have already but I really like it (Sorry no experience with map mods to know how they work haha. I don't use ANY CC and only a tiny handful of mods in some of my saves so the fact that, if you confirm it won't mess up a save that has replaced the homes with gallery homes, I am definitely going to download should tell you how much I really really love this haha!

      It shouldn't have any effect at all on save files, it just changes the background image not whats in the world :)

      I've installed tons of different map mods and they don't affect save files at all, putting this one into my game after I created it didn't cause any issues with my saves either so it should be all good!
