What this mod does
Lake Farsoe is a fictional 4 x 4 kilometer map built around a large lake surrounded by mountains. It mixes urban areas, mountain roads and a desert section, so it’s good for relaxed cruising as well as jumps and chases.
What’s included
- A mid-size city by the lake.
- An airport, a construction site and a truck stop.
- A ring highway around the map.
- Trails and jumps in the mountains, plus a desert area.
- PBR textures and AI traffic.
Who it’s for
It suits anyone looking for a varied map to drive with traffic, chase the AI or go wild in the mountains without your PC suffering: the author deliberately reduced the vegetation density so it runs smoothly on regular PCs.
Release notes
The map had broken textures for a while, but in June 2026 it got a major overhaul (textures and collisions, new fuel pumps, 3D clouds and a smaller size), and version 1.11, from July 30, 2026, adapts it to 0.39 by fixing textures and atmosphere. The community was very happy to see it return.

Common problems
Does it still have broken textures?
The June and July 2026 updates fix them. If you still see them, delete previous versions and clear the cache.
Traffic gets stuck on the highway, is that a bug?
A user reports that the AI still has routing problems on the ring highway; it's a known issue.
Does it run well on a modest PC?
That's one of its strengths: the author reduced the vegetation to improve performance.
