3 Seasonal Cypresses

In my opinion, this kind of trees always lacked in Sims 2 - tall slender cypresses to make mediterranean style villas and just luxurious mansions. And after I reworked xrax’s cypress, I immediately started working on this bunch.

Here are 3 cypresses converted from the Sims 4 by me but with brand new textures. All of them have one recolor for leaves part (unfortunately I couldn’t get bark part to be recolorable too) and are of course seasonal. They won’t have falling leaves in autumn.

Tropical Trees Default Replacement

Here’s an addition to my default replacement for trees - tropical trees! To be honest, most of them didn’t need to be replaced. At the beginning I wanted to replace only the base game palm. Done. Then I discovered that it broke the bon voyage palm because it was repositoried - took me a lot of time but fixed it too. Then I discovered that this broke the hammock - ARE YOU EFFING KIDDING ME?! I’m replacing all of you then, all! And I’ll make two versions for a fan palm because I can’t decide 🤣

So here’s a replacement for the basegame palm tree and all tropical bon voyage plants. All plants for this replacement were used from these and these conversions by @beautifulnerdkitty​, but I had to make some changes to the trees' models to make them compatible with Maxis trees logic, changed their size plus lowered texture resolution.

IMPORTANT INFO:

There is a V1 and a V2 version for the fan palm tree and for the palm hammock. You MUST use the same version for both of them or the hammock will break because it uses textures from the original fan palm.

Also, everything repositoried to these plants (all of them) will break, for exemple Gwenke’s harvestable tropical trees (will break if you pick the banana tree replacement).

All trees have undersides via TXMT edit so I don’t recommend using it with other TXMT edits, like this one by @pforestsims​ or my own.

Fan palm V2 and co:

As always, all plants are separated so you can pick and choose what you want to have (except for the hammock and the fan palm, you must keep both and their versions must be the same (V1 for both or V2 for both)!)

Xrax’s Mediterranean Cypress Edited And Made Seasonal

This cypress tree by xrax is very nice but it had some issues that I wanted to fix before fulfilling @ladyvenerasims​ request of making it seasonal.

The first issue was texture. It’s very nice and very realistic but had a bit of white outline and other artifacts to it that I fixed. It’s not perfect but given the texture size I think it looks better:

The other issue (and this was a major one for me) was huge gaps in mesh and teeny tiny trunk with a very stretched out texture. I fixed it by adding a trunk from a Sims 4 cypress mesh, giving it a better texture and adding more leaves inside to fill the empty space. It looks much better now but of course the polycount became higher. Original mesh was 956 and the new one is 1890 which is still ok for a tree.

This tree won’t have falling leaves in autumn and has a new randomized GUID so you can use it alongside the original tree if you want.
