I know I've been rambling about this on my YouTube channel for like, a year now (I'm so sorry) But I finally tweaked things enough to a place where I am ok with sharing it now.
Have you ever looked at the blobby trees of TS4 and sighed over there being no cool leafy shadows to cast from the sunlight onto the ground? Well that annoyed me too, so I took it upon myself to make trees that have detailed-looking leafy shadows instead of a big blobby shadow with no definition!
SOLARLEAF is a nature set that has over 34 tree variations and some extra hedges and a debug fence too! There are way too many things for me to have a pic for each, so you'll have to download to see all the goodies! Also, because these are made from EA meshes, all of the trees are animated like the trees in-game :)

Important info: It is in a ZIP file, and after you extract it, there will be folders with the name of each expansion pack that uses the mesh that is needed for the tree/bush etc. to show up. Only the ones you own will show up in game so you can pick and choose!

It's not perfect, and I'm aware of that, but I hope you all enjoy it anyways!
CREDITS: The Nature in this set is a mashup of textures by K-hippie, Conceptdesign97 that I edited or recolored, and some silent hill texture conversions by IDBD
None of this would be possible without using these textures! This was initially going to be all overrides but BOY is it a LOT of work to do that, so hats off to K-hippie for doing all of that hard work in their K-series (please check them out, they're extremely talented and hardworking for the sims community!)
