π° Major bug fix
This is the big news of the week, I've fixed the pink textures bug that was affecting the custom boards I'd added to Mygotopia. This bug was caused by my mod encryption system preventing the game from reading certain files.
I'm sorry for the time it took me to fix this major bug. In fact, I thought I had corrected it be...

Hello my dear utopians,
I'm posting this quick message to let you know that I've fixed a major bug on Mygotopia that was preventing certain in-game images from being displayed correctly ((the famous pink panels bug).
This bug was caused by my encryption system, which prevented the game from correctly reading certain files linked to the panels and custom images I'd created for Mygotopia.
I was able to get quick feedback from the creator of the encryption system, so I'm please...

Hello my dear Utopians,
I've received several messages from Patrons telling me that they can no longer access the Colorado Edition of the More American Cities mod series. I wanted to clarify the situation to avoid any future misunderstandings and frustrations.
As indicated since the launch of this project, of all the More American Cities mods, only the latest published edition is included in your subscriptions.
It is therefore important to be a...

Hello dear Utopians,
SCS Software has recently released new DLC for American Truck Simulator: the state of Nebraska!
Unfortunately, the changes I made to the towns of Julesburg and Wray, which are geographically close to the Nebraska border, caused the road connections with the new DLC to become buggy.
