SHK Maxis Palm Replacement Mod  1.0

About This File

Most people have a rather strong aversion to the standard Maxis palms, and I can certainly share that sentiment. However for those of us who like to create tropical landscapes it seems a shame to give up the palm tree when we can just replace it.

 

Here I present a simple mod I created for myself that will replace all Maxis palm trees with Heblem's excellent variety. This includes all street and road palms, as well as any instances on standard or custom lots. In addition I have configured this mod to place only the large Heblem palms on streets and roads, but use a family of the large and medium type on any lots using the Maxis palms.

 

Lastly while it's impractical to test this with every single street mod out there, I did test this using Jeronij's Street Side Mod and the SFBT Street Tree Mod. As long as this file is run after either of these mods, all aspects of them will remain unchanged with the exception of the street trees being replaced with Heblem's.

Great work and wonderful images - I like the curved roads you used, with the benches. And of course, the palm trees.

Wow, superb job! Personally I never play tropical scenarios, so I never thought about the lack of a palm tree mod, but now that I see this download, I realise how right you are - and it looks to me like you fixed this problem stupendously. :)

What mod did you use for the curving streets like that in your picture? I've been looking for that mod forever.

I might be needing this...Good job. On a separate note, it stuns me how similar your city/town looks like one of my cities I'm working on. For all I know, those picture could be my own! :boggle:

What a sweet mod, I too thought the palm trees didn't fit well either. I love this one, looking at the picture shows a beautiful scene with bustling trees not the plain giraffe necked one the game has by default. Thank you so much.

Fantastic!! I did not read the description properly the first time.  Paeng pointed me back here.  So this does for Palm trees what c.p.'s mod does for aspens, birch, etc.?

 

What if I wanted to replace ALL MAXIS TREES (not just the palms) with Heblem's palms?  Could you tinker with this mod for it to be able to do that?

 

thanks in advance.  I love this and will add to my plugins.
