Amazing, those textures are insane!
May I do a request (to get into a holiday spirit - 3 more weeks \o/)? What about the Cambodia's national tree, the sugar palm?

    Thanks everyone!

    @Judazzz Thanks for piling on another tree folder on my desk :)  I actually have a cabbage palm like the ones in Florida planned...they look kinda like those. So, I guess the Sugar Palm will grow also in CS world 8)

    Edit: Actually "Sugar Palm" is an umbrella name for a few palm species used to produce sugar (I read that in a wiki) https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sugar_palm

    The one in Cambodia is this https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Borassus_flabellifer

    Check out our resident botanist :P 
    But I wasn't aware that there were several species of Sugar Palm (I knew what earned them their name: palm sugar is indispensable in my kitchen), so that was informative!

    The oil palm would also be a good target. Much of the tropical rainforests has been converted into fields of this:

    Nowadays, they are mostly kept short to make harvesting easy, but older ones look like this:

    That's a rather unfortunate development for the rainforests and all the species in there, but this is pretty much reality in many tropical areas of the world.

    That is definitely on the to do list. A modder named Prosper been pushing me for those. In fact I'm gonna start focusing on some smaller veggies more. I actually have a few I didn't publish yet like some Phragmites and generic flower bushes (you can see in some of my screenshots). But some made specifically with balconies and roofs are a must have.

    This is doable. It will be a prop so it can flow with terrain.

    Thanks everyone :)

    Ooh you and your fancy words! :D 

    Can't wait to see some more shrubbery and bushes (preferably 'just' green) - if your trees are anything to go by, it's going to be awesome!

    Well, it is your bridge. It's one of my favorite assets :thumb:

    masterfully done!

    Are the wide angle shots done with the LOD toggler mod, or did you manage to get the auto-LOD to really behave that seamlessly?

    Superb trees and screenshots! I'm tempted to ask the same as Tim for the church...

    About the release of other Fall trees, I'm personally trying to keep my volume of subscriptions as low as possible but it makes total sense to include them in your existing assets, so it's really up to you :)

    Gorgeous like always! Now I'm gonna have to make a fall city :P I'd suggest doing seperate versions for fall and summer since some people prob won't want both. But in the end it's really up to you what you'd prefer.

    Also I gotta ask, any update on the reeds? :P

    Thanks...you're right about that. I will keep the summer version separate from now on. I will publish the reeds today :)

    LOVE your church! Yes I would be honored if you used the images.
