What this mod does
Pacific Coast Highway 1 is considered one of the best driving roads in the world. This mod by Phoenix77, the same author behind LA Canyons, recreates a 23 km stretch in the Big Sur area (California), between Cape San Martin and Ragged Point: narrow lanes, corners above the Pacific and drops of more than 200 meters in sections with no guardrail.
What’s included
- Three layouts: Northbound, Southbound and Cruise.
- A road rebuilt in version 1.0 with a highly detailed mesh and layered vegetation.
- Support for Custom Shaders Patch grass, rain and lighting.
- A guide to simulating traffic with the game’s AI.
Traffic and extras
Traffic is simulated with AI cars. The author recommends an AI strength of around 90 % and turning off fuel consumption, because otherwise the cars run out of gas and block the road. Two-way traffic and other layouts are in an optional Extras Pack sold separately in the author’s store.
Who it’s for
It’s for cruising and taking in the scenery, or for fast runs in sports cars. If you liked LA Canyons, this is the same thing by the sea. Heads-up: it’s almost 700 MB.

Common problems
Traffic cars get stuck on the road
They're running out of gas. Turn off fuel consumption in the session options.
Is there two-way traffic?
Not in the free version; two-way traffic is in the paid Extras Pack.
I don't see traffic with the original launcher
According to the author, without Content Manager you need more than 20 AI cars for the traffic to be noticeable.
