Ok, done. Turns out it was modifying the LV billboards. Here's some PNG images (to preserve quality), demonstrating that simply adding a little 'dirt' can make the billboards look more realistic, as well as not taking a 4:3 image and scaling it to 2:1 Since these are PNG, they are quite large... and 1280x768 is the only widescreen resolution my monitor supports. An improperly scaled, stock image (686KB) Scale it better, add some 'dirt' (807KB) Same, but closer up (1411KB)

I occasionally try to make mods, but I don't have any design skills, so I can never figure out what to make... I used to find a lot of glaring billboards at codenamegta*, but after playing San Andreas, I came here and noticed some more billboards. If I find a proper way to make them look more 'outdoor', I'll try making a Photoshop guide. Sec, creating a quick example (Hmm, mappers aren't Vista-compatible, this may take a little longer)

This always annoyed me, because it seems to take away the realism... I get bothered when people release billboard mods, and it's just a dead center, bright red, wrongly scaled "COCA COLA". Just a couple suggestions 1) Scale it properly. The logo for a product doesn't normally stretch to all four edges of the billboard in real life 2) Billboards are, generally, an outdoor-type item... so make them look outdoor. Bright red isn't appropriate. A subdued red with some brown is more appropriate, because it makes it look more like it's being exposed to the elements. I dunno, just my two cents.
