Dragging Tree Mod

[mayorgreener 37]

Hello, right now the trees that we use (default or custom), needs to be like painted on a area.

I was thinking if a mod can be made that would allow us or me to plant trees the way we build zones. While building zones we just select the low density Residential option and then just drag.

There can be 2/3 options... like low density, medium density and high density. Further options can also be made like palm trees, oak trees, mixed deciduous, tropical rain forest etc etc. If I select low density then in one box(1x1) there will be 4 trees... for medium density there will be 5 trees and 6 trees for high density.

I don't know technically its feasible or not or would anybody has the time to do it or not... So just ignore if I am wrong in any way. 

Thank you

It's an interesting idea but alas, technically not possible. The closest you could get would probably be to make a number of IR forestry fields whereby growth stage would correspond to different forest densities.

Even that will do for me. The main prob with trees currently is especially Maxis trees is that it take a hell lot of time to paint them over large areas in Mayor mode. I have a long narrow (1x50) tile of land where I need to plant trees. Custom trees are not suiting me coz they are too big and cover my roads and streets. My cars and pedestrians become invisible after I plant those huge trees.

Why not just create parks full of trees using the lot editor ?

All frivolity aside here, if that's your attitude then you are going to have to download what is available or make a compromise. Last I checked there isn't a queue of people waiting to make mods to the specifications of others.

It's quite easy... you should give it a try.
