I made a ridiculously flower-filled environment for a colony of fairies and plantsims, and I needed to be able to flower-fy the world, not just the lots. So, I went through my plant hoard, pulled out every single outdoor plant with flowers on it, plus some larger, non-flowery grasses and weeds and such, and then edited them to make them available in Edit Town mode, so that they can be placed in the world, not just on lots. Not all of them worked, but a number of them did, so I figured I'd share the edited files, for anyone else who might need to do some ridiculous world flower-fying.
(Note: I don't necessarily recommend that you do so, generally speaking, because if done on a large scale it's likely to cause lag, much like having a billion trees in a world will. The world that I did it in is very small, though, and it seems to be OK. Just a word of warning.)
Anyway, you can download the folder of edited files here.
There are 90 files in the download, but there are more individual plants than that because some of those files are already merged. Am I taking pictures of all of them? Hell, no! It's a lot, man. You might not want to put all of them in your game…but then again, maybe you do. Or, maybe you already have them.
Anyway, here's a pic of some of them, placed in the world:
And I've also posted pics of the world I've used these edited files to flower-fy here and here.
Alcea (hollyhock) plants and large patches of mixed wildflowers by @technicallyswagpizza
Seasons-enabled wildflowers by @aminovas (Not sure if they'll change with the seasons when placed in the world rather than on a lot, though.)
Numerous patches of flowers/grasses/weeds by Lolalule
Climbing roses by Visty6. (Although the original files have several presets, only the first one shows in Edit Town, which is the red one. They look strange standing alone in the world, as in the above pic, but you can place them up against trees and deco structures and such, which is why I wanted them worldified.)
The TS2 Eponymous Garden plants by Parsimonious, converted to TS3 by Aikea Guinea
Amarysauce's recolors of EA flowers and flowering shrubs (Except for the Frangipani and Hibiscus ones because if you have them, those will already appear in the Trees category of Edit Town because that's how they're categorized for regular build mode.) These files are merged so that all of the colors they come in are in one file. You can still merge them into larger merged files. Some of these require EPs or Store worlds. I'm assuming you can figure out which ones you can and cannot use.
16 climbing ivies and wisterias from the EA Store. These are the files from @blamseastore, NOT the original EA files. I'm not sure what will happen if you have both kinds of files in your game, so if you have those original EA files, you should probably uninstall them and use these files instead. Like the climbing roses, these look silly standing alone in the world, but you can place them up against trees and deco buildings. You can't shift them up and down when using them in the world, though, so it's possible that not all the pieces will be useful.
A bunch of various flowering shrubs, flowering groundcovers, and wildflower patches and such by "I Have Absolutely No Clue" because I have no idea when or where I got them and there are no clues in the file names or STBLs as to who made any of them.
Because I'm lazy, these are edited files, not overrides, so you don't need the original files if you don't already have them. (And if you do already have them, they'll just overwrite, unless you have your files merged. What you'll need to do in that case depends on how you merged your files in the first place.) Many of these were already flagged to be available in Edit Town, but they didn't have an appropriate category flag for Edit Town mode because for some stupid EA reason there aren't "Flower" or "Shrub" categories in Edit Town, only Trees, Rocks, and Landmarks. So, they didn't show anywhere. Others I had to make available as well as adding a category flag. Whatever the case, I take absolutely no credit for any of these. All I did was flip a switch or three, so to speak, in s3pe. It was a boring job, but hardly credit-worthy.
These will all be found in the Landmarks category when in Edit Town mode and (mostly) in the Flowers category in regular build mode, though I think some of them are in Shrubs. I chose the Landmark category for Edit Town, as opposed to Trees or Rocks, so that the objects don't also show up in those categories in regular build mode. Those categories are already cluttered enough in my game because I'm a plant and rock hoarder, and I really didn't need these items sitting in trees/rocks as well as flowers/shrubs.
So there you have it. Flower-fy away.
