Environment Colors Changer
Environment Color Changer is an Environment Colors Customization mod for certain aspects of the game.
Change colors in-game PER BIOME of:
- Fertile Land
- Forest Ground
- Farm Fields
- Polluted Grass
- Water
- Polluted Water
- Water Under
It has an option to enable “transparent water” althought the effect is not that nice, but thought I’d include it as well, some interesting results can be obtained with transparent water and water color combinations. Disabled by default.
It also includes an option to disable the Pause(ESC) Menu “Blur” effect so you can see the color changes more clearly while tweaking. Enabled by default.
Sadly I’m not knowledgeable enough to build a custom GUI for the mod so I had to use this workaround for now.
The mod comes pre-loaded with values to make Fertile Land, Farm Fields, Forest ground, Grass pollution and Water pollution a bit more pleasant to look at. Water colors are same as vanilla, with the exception of Water-under which is set to full white to make the water more transparent-looking in all biomes.
To customize the colors:
Load a map, frame the element of which you wish to change the color in your camera(fertile land/forests/farm fields/water/polluted/etc), then go to the Options menu and find the Mod Settings for Environment Colors Changer, scroll down to find the current biome you’re playing on, and tweak the colors using the sliders of the element you want to change. You’ll see the changes as you move the sliders, allowing you to get exactly the result you want. It helps if you move the options panel to the side to see the background better..
If you want to share GOOD settings you find with other users, find the EnvironmentColorsSettings.xml file in your Steam Cities_Skylines folder, then copy the values from there and give them to other users, who can then open their xml file and paste them to get the exact same result.
The screenshot above is Temperate map, Clean Water R 0 G 35 B 35 Using sliders just slide the R slider to 0, and the G and B sliders to about middle of the way. The mod doesn’t set it to that, you have to tweak it yourself.
I’m pretty happy with the way this mod has turned out despite my total lack of actual programming knowledge and I have to thank for their valuable help, in no specific order:

- Water Color Changer – this mod includes the same functionality but without need to manually edit XML files.
- ‘No More Purple’ Mods – this mod includes functionality to change both Water and Grass pollution colors, but you can change it in-game.
