You've spent hours building a beautiful medieval settlement in Manor Lords. You've planned the roads, arranged the houses, kept everyone supplied, and watched the place slowly grow into something resembling an actual town.

And yet, nobody can tell you what street they live on.

Quixote31's Districts and Road Names lets players draw and name neighborhoods, label roads, and organize their settlements into districts that can identify themselves by the buildings within them. Residential areas, marketplaces, farmland, and industrial sections can all gain their own identities. It's cosmetic, but it's also the kind of detail that makes a settlement feel less like a collection of buildings and more like somewhere people might actually live.

There are a couple of practical quirks. Names are entered through console commands, and the creator recommends manual saves because autosave persistence hasn't been confirmed. The documented testing also covers a specific Manor Lords build rather than every possible version. Still, being able to give that little neighborhood you've spent three evenings perfecting an actual name? We can see the appeal.
