Any ideas on what could cause my roads to have the same bumpy semi-3D appearance as if there were stones there, except that the texture is replaced by dirt textures (thanks to this mod)? In other words, my roads textures **look** like dirt roads, but I have the regular road cobble stone meshes sticking up still.
Another issue I ran into was that the stone bridge near Fort Greymoor has purple tops and bridge dirt, although I would need to confirm again that it's related to this mod. I've never had issues with purple textures before. The only thing I'm using related to bridges is Unique Wooden Bridges, but that mod isn't supposed to replace that particular bridge. Another thing that could be behind it is that I uninstalled SMIM (without having the intention to reinstall it), because I never really noticed a difference except for the extra 200MB VRAM I get on my laptop without it.
those bumps are vanilla issue, there is nothing you can do about them, you have to use a mod like northern roads if you don't wanna see them but then you will have to install a lot of patches, this is Skyrim..
I cannot get the parallax to work. I'm using RVX Dirt 02 Terrain Parallax, it works fine with Blended Roads but when I add Simplest Roads Parallax, the road chunks it edits are flat. Anyone else has this issue or knows what I'm missing?
Yes, same issue. RVX Parallax works great everywhere, where the actual dirt texture was intended to be. But on the roads, where simplest roads is using that same texture, it is indeed just flat and I tried for hours now to get it to work with every possible setting. It just doesnt work. I just came to the conclusion that parallax does not work with this mod because even the screenshots of the mod creater himself from Riverwood doesnt have the parallax effect. But its probably the closest we will get to northern roads without being an absolute patching nightmare so for me this is still great to use.
I had the same problem when trying this mod. In the end i just gave up on it, switched back to Northern Roads since I had already went through patching it for everything in my modlist and fixed what i wanted manually by editing the landscape in the Creation Kit. You should consider using this: Simply Dirt Roads. I haven't personally tested it, but it seams like the same thing. Who knows, maybe it works for you.
So good. I had lots of seams in my roads using Northern Roads even though I thought I had patched everything. Tried for weeks to sort it all out but finally just gave up and used this mod instead with the Clutter Only version of NRs. So far, so good! No seams in all the places, and no headaches. Thanks a ton, Biggie!

Could it be that Simplest Roads relies on SMIM?
