CIVILIZATION 6 ART DIRECTOR RELEASES A MOD THAT MAKES IT LOOK LIKE CIVILIZATION 5

Everything old is new again.

Have you ever played Civilization 6 and thought to yourself, this is great, but I really wish it looked a little... older? If the answer to that question is yes for some reason, Civ 6 art director Brian Busatti has come up with just the thing: A Civ 5 “Environment Skin” mod that’s now available through the Steam Workshop.

The mod “changes the visuals of the game to better match the colors and tones” of Civ 5, with changes to texture details, a more neutral color palette for buildings and units, and other changes.

“I was challenged by the team to create an expansive mod using Mod Buddy, and this was the end result,” Busatti wrote. “It’s an example of how much you can change the visuals and I hope it provides inspiration to try your own modifications.”

The mod is compatible with all releases of Civilization 6, including the recent Gathering Storm, and will not cause any problems with saved games.
