I tried it out, it worked just fine!

I wish there was a way to use tropical trees instead. I dunno how hard that would be though

Top notch! Something I have been meaning to download for some time. Increases the realism of urban areas tenfold. Don't play without it!

Yeah, I always thought that was bad also, the way the game just sparingly uses trees for yards and parks. To have a more fuller effect would be a great addition and makes the game more nicer to look at for hours and hours at a time. Thank you so much.

Can't this be made without dependencies?

You need to create an account at another site to download dat's, some of which have nothing to do with trees and I don't care much for.

So nice trees, but not so nicely packaged and easy to use.

Oh no, you another ID for the LEX haha.

Also no install directions for the "SimFoxProps_8Chestnuts.dat" file. Does that go in the root of plugins, or can it go in the folder "Maxis tree replacement mod" ?

Talk about convoluted. No doubt all those extras from the other dat are gonna be clogging up my menus now too?


I've already given up before I've even tried it. If this was just a Maxis replacement tree mod I'd give it more stars, but it's a bunch of mods, half of which I can't install easily, with no instructions!

No, it really cannot.
Since the original creators of the trees don't want their lots being redistributed without permission, that means that the lots themselves cannot be included in this file, so one has to download them separately.

As for your question about the file, just drop it in the Plugins folder.


I know it's a pain having to register on the LEX, but it's worth it. There's a lot of downloadable goodies there that Simtropolis doesn't have. Enjoy!

Marsh could you explain how you replaced the tree models.  I want to try to do this, but with different tree models.  What do I need to do?

I decided to give this a try. *:)

For this part:

This mod replaces all of the maxis trees in-game, oaks, pines & palms.

It doesn't seem to replace all the trees, but just a few on various lots. None of the God Mode trees I plant are changed.

 

Then on the lots the Blue Spruce, Noble Fir, and Pine Trees are all brown boxes which indicate there is another dependency (or more) which are not listed. I have all three deps which are listed and I checked that those do not list any sub-dependencies.

Here's my plugins list:

So, I'm at a loss for how to find what's missing. *:(
