Ok so the Elm Creek Edit By Stevie V1.0.0.3 has just been updated with the fix for the Foliage Draw Distance where if it's set above 160% will crash the map on loading at around 21 to 23% on very high custom settings. The map file size has also been reduced.
This is now V1.0.0.4. Not tested with old games saves.
Download links remain the same here on my page but here's one to save you looking.

мммм хуита !!!!!!!!!!!!!
beuatiful map butt i miss same fields right en left in te top off te map that is now gras fields butt i like it orignele whit te numbers
Crap!!! We haven't all got high end systems to run it on and it crashes at will. The worst map out for 22 at present. Rubbish!!!!
Has the grass between fields been fixed? I thought that the first update had taken care of it, but the initial stubble turned into nothingness in a few hours. Also, even at a reduced setting, the game freezes quite often.
Another Update the king is back and another and another update is coming soon
Great map, exactly what you expect of a Stevie re-design of a Giants map. This is what Elm Creek should have been when Giants made it. Stevie has merged and consolidated many of the small and pathetic sized fields and instead given us a map with 27 proper sized dedicated fields. Many more areas of Grassland are available for animal needs, or can be converted back to fields with the use of a simple plough in game. Lovely starting farm in New Farmer mode all the sheds and animal pens you'll need.
For the 'Guest' accounts above with their negative comments and talks of crashing or freezing, they clearly are playing on Potato PCs or Laptops, none of which are recommended by Stevie, who states on all his maps that they are for high-end PC players only. I'm able to play this map on at 3840x2160 resolution on Custom Very High Settings and get a performance in game anywhere between 55-85fps depending where on the map I am and how many objects, vehicles, tools, buildings etc are on screen.
FYI I've been playing Stevie's maps from 17 onwards and have never had a 'high end' machine and have never had an issue until 22 came out. Given that this version of the game is 'broken' and we are awaiting a patch, maybe things will improve once the issues are sorted. You need to go back and re-read the posts on Stevie's page at no point does he recommend that you have to have a high-end machine obviously we all know that the game runs sweeter on higher PCs. Even Stevie had crashes on his system, and has taken note of all the reported issues and has as far as he is able, has repaired the problems other users and even he himself has faced.
