Colorado Towns & Streets

Play in Colorado: 334 real towns from Denver to Colorado Springs, real streets for your bus stops, and real names for train stations and airports.

Pick the name set "Colorado (Towns & Streets)" for a new game. Then just build: every new Road Stop and station in a known city gets a real local name a moment after you place it.

Features

• Colorado towns: a name set with 334 real towns and places, from big cities to small mountain, mining and farm towns (US Census Bureau data).
• Towns that suit your map: a new game picks its towns by the map's climate. Temperate maps: mostly the Front Range, plus the Rockies and the Western Slope. Dry maps: mostly the eastern plains, plus the Western Slope and the Front Range. Subarctic maps: mostly the Rockies, plus the Western Slope. Tropical maps and climates from other mods use the whole state.
• Real street names: new Road Stops in 12 cities (Denver, Colorado Springs, Aurora, …) are named after their real streets, like Colfax Avenue or Pearl Street: 293 streets in all, never twice in the same town.
• Colorado-style streets everywhere else: other towns draw their stop names from 125 street names in the local style (peaks, passes, mining camps, aspens, rivers and counties).
• Real station names: new train stations and airports in 10 cities get real names, like Union Station, Durango Depot or Denver International Airport (20 rail stations, 5 airports).
• Neighbourhood names: new bus and tram stations in 2 cities are named after real neighbourhoods (42 in all).
• Everything else follows: industries, depots and their stations are named after your Colorado towns by the game itself.

Settings

• Real street names (default On): renames new Road Stops in known cities after their real streets.
• Real station names (default On): renames new train stations, bus and tram stations, airports and harbours in known cities.

Notes

• Unlike a plain name set, this mod also renames the stops and stations you build after real streets, stations and neighbourhoods in their city.
• Street and station names also work with any other name set, in towns that carry a Colorado city's name (rename a town to Denver and its next stop is on a real Denver street).
• Only renames what you build, right after you build it. Existing stops and stations are never touched, and neither are your own renames.
• Cosmetic only, safe to add to an existing save. A game started with the "Colorado (Towns & Streets)" name set needs this mod to load; in any other save, removing it keeps the names already given and stops renaming.
• Not affiliated with the "Colorado Names" mod; all lists here are our own.
