#texture replacement

This is a texture default replacement for almost all trees found in game.

Most of the textures were doubled in size for higher detalization. However, because of how the meshes were made, some textures may appear more stretched/blurry than others. All trees got new seasonal textures where necessary.

Trees affected:

Bay, birch, bamboo 3x3, breadfruit, all crabapple trees, cypress, hibiscus, maple, pine, willow, both BV bonsai pines, dead tree and all douglas pines.

There’s also an additional package that will remove trunk shadow on all dougles pines. It works with maxis textures too.

Crabapple mesh edit fixes mapping and gets rid of bits of trunk texture floating among leaves (works with mexis textures too).

I’ve also included a mesh edit for the willow tree leaves which will make it more lush:

With this edit willow’s mesh passes from 1257 polys to 3331 (for comparison, the basegame bay tree is 4929 polys). Also, this edit concerns only spring, summer and autumn states and is compatible with any texture replacement for it.

Three additional replacements, for ivy, trellis ivy (only plant part) and for base game weeds:

The ivy replacement already has my no sheen fix, so you can delete it if you had it.

For those who like decorating, I recommend having buyable weeds by @hugelunatic​.

New weeds mesh is actually lower poly than the original one (old is 893 and new is 218) but with a bigger texture. It’s an extracted and modified Sims 4 mesh with various Witcher 3 grass textures.

Almost all textures come from Witcher 3, extracted by saricoya and shared here, the rest was found online. Ivy texture was extracted from this Skyrim mod by mathy79.

All replacements are separated so you can pick and choose only what you want in your game.

Here’s part two of texture replacements for plants. This time I decided to cover most of outdoor ones. Part one is here.

Plants replaced (some names were shortened): Flower Barrel, Layers of Loveliness, Potted Perennials from Planter's Paradise, PSBs from Planter's Paradise, Ring-O-Posies, Synthetic Iron Trellis and The Decoy Trellis.

I also tried replacing Season’s preorder trellis’ flower textures but they didn’t look good at all because of the tiny flower space and I didn’t want to make the already 512x512 texture even bigger. So instead, I recommend you get @shastakiss​ Cluedo wood replacement + recolors here (at least the wooden part will be pretty).

I replaced most of pots too, but only Flower Barrel is an exception because nothing beats Shasta’s Cluedo woods texture for it (visible on previews, be sure to get it, it's not included). Textures for wooden parts of The Decoy Trellis and PSBs from Planter's Paradise are based on Shasta’s default replacement in pirate woods (originals can be found here) but use @goatskickin​ Heatland and Pilgrim woods from their Christmas Woods collection. For these plants I also did recolors in all Cluedo woods (they look a bit strange but these textures were so complicated they gave me a headache so I did my best here). Synthetic Iron Trellis uses one of @shastakiss​ metals -  rust. Other textures come from textures.com and various sites with free pngs. PSBs from Planter's Paradise also has additional flower recolors.

IMPORTANT:

By default, PSBs from Planter's Paradise is broken and displays only one flower texture in nh view. @simnopke​ was kind enough to look into it and was able to fix it. Be sure to get the fix here to be able to see all flower recolors for it in nh view. Thank you so much Nopke! 🤗

I already did the Pretty Pot O'Pansies replacement, find it here.

All plants have adjusted nh view textures.

I won’t include pictures of each flower, but you can follow the project’s progress here.

As always, all replacements and recolors are separated so you can pick and choose what you want.

All color options (pictured with Shastakiss’ Cluedo wood textures for Flower Barrel):

Here’s a default replacement for some plants because they were so blurry and sad. Now they look a bit prettier and more colorful (because not all plants are green!) and you can zoom all the way in and they’ll still look decent 😏

Most of original textures were replaced, shine fixed and annoyancies got rid of (looking at you, weird spots of texture:)

Fruitless Fig Tree has a pot texture from @shastakiss​ ‘s replacement here because I love it, but which I had to modify a bit because for some reason the mesh uses pot texture for...branches (illustration):

For this reason I do not recommend making pot recolors for this plant. Or you can try making them in brown-ish colors. Hope one day it will be fixed... Actually, @jacobaoconnor​ was very quick and kindly shared their fix with me. And it works! Please get it using their link here.

Also, @shastakiss​ let me know that there is another fix by Amaryll that does the same thing. Their fix can be found here. The only thing is that you have to delete the texture that’s inside that fix, otherwise it will conflict with mine.

With the fix (any of the two), the tree will look like this (click on the image to see “new” branches):

Also I was unable to use certain textures in a way I wanted because of the way meshes are made (especially the pots part), so I did my best with what I had.

All replacements are separated, you can pick and choose only what you want in your game.

A default replacement + completer recolors for the Centerpieces coffee table.

A great thank you to @sighildr / @oph3liasimblr​ for the mesh fix included with this replacement 🤗

Cluedo woods are, as always, by wonderful @shastakiss​

Important:

Oph3lia’s mesh fix (which is included in the archive) is highly recommended for new textures to work properly, without it they will look wonky (click on the image to see better):

Using mesh fix only is useless without the texture replacement as default textures will display incorrectly with it.

All other recolors you might have for this coffee table might display incorrectly with the fix.
