The main purpose of this pack is to match the lush terrain in the lot view (which looks dull) to the lush terrain in the neighborhood view (which looks lush as it should). The new textures are based on the original ones – that means the new grass still looks quite neglected but certainly not so dull.
Files in this pack:
Note that these default replacements do not change roads or pavements themselves but the adjacent terrain which is a part of their textures.
Conflicts
Do not use the -DRLotLushTerrainRoads- files with any other default replacements for lot lush terrain.
Do not use the -DRNhoodLushTerrainRoads- file with any other default replacements for neighborhood lush terrain.
These default replacements can be used with lush terrain road replacements that do not contain terrain parts, like Paved Cobbles: Lush Road Default by Dread Pirate. In such a case, my default replacement(s) must load before road replacements.

Files in this pack:
- -DRLotLushTerrainRoads-notSoDull: a default replacement for lush terrain and roads in the lot view: makes grass color match the real neighborhood grass color (revealed by the Accurate Neighborhood Terrain Lighting mod). I recommend to use it if you also use the previously mentioned lighting mod.
- -DRLotLushTerrainRoads-notSoDullDark: as above but matches the original warm neighborhood lighting. I recommend to use it if you don't use the previously mentioned lighting mod or if you want to use the dark neighborhood lush terrain DR (see below).
- -DRNhoodLushTerrainRoads-notSoDullDark: a default replacement for lush terrain and roads in the neighborhood view for those who use the Accurate Nhood Terrain Lighting mod but are used to the original look of the neighborhood grass.
- -notSoDullGrass and -notSoDullGrassDark: stand-alone terrain paints available in the build mode, made from the default replacement textures of the lot view grass.
Note that these default replacements do not change roads or pavements themselves but the adjacent terrain which is a part of their textures.
Update (30 Jul 2021): Fixed not working road replacements in simNopke-DRNhoodLushTerrainRoads-notSoDullDark. If you use that file, please redownload it. However, the change won't be very noticeable – that's why I missed it.
