#ts3plants

This is *part of* the reason why it takes me so flipping long to get the plants finished.

This is a petunia, which I love the look of already, but my brain starts scolding me on the fact that petunias don't grow straight up, they grow out...

So here I am trying to make a picture as realistic as humanly possible....

And then here I am mixing colors and shit because petunias are almost always various colors.

I'm gonna go make y'alls frikken petunia files now, two hours later... lol

Update -- It was worth it

WOODLAND SET by technicallyswagpizza

Belated happy international day of forests (21st of March) my fellow dirt maestros! I bring thee 2 extremely wonky pine trees and 6 different plants to bring your woodlands and forests into life! Or drop them whever, I’m sure Mother Nature doesn’t really mind. This set comes with a larger patch of lingonberries, a single small blueberry plant, lichen forest floor cover, a mixture of pine saplings and other brambly plants found on the forest floors and 2 different Skyrim tundra grass plants.

I pulled my lighting mod out and turned my Reshade off while taking the  pictures above, so what you see here is exactly what you get. I also included a .rar file for easy one click download in case anyone prefers that rather than downloading these one by one.

Wonky but still sorta straight pine 708 polys

Gnarly pine 1184 polys

Blueberry plant 12 polys

Lingonberries 226 polys

Lichen forest floor 124 polys

Young pine saplings forest floor 150 polys

Wonky but still sorta straight pine’s bark texture is not the nicest looking thing out there, but whenever I tried to fix it I broke something else in the process, so I’m going to leave it as it is for now. No other tree has brought me so much agony and frustration than that one! Also thank you @simaddix for sharing the Skyrim plant textures with me and allowing me to use them, much love to you

I’m sooooooooo in love with these tulips <3

Ever since I found them (and I’m probably one of the few who didn’t know about them until recently), they indubitably end up in any new world/lot I create, if the theme fits.

Credits to Pygmy @ MTS for such a beautiful creation

Y'all... I am so beyond proud of these. PLEASE test them in game and then tell me what you think, the pictures don't do justice! I'm dying for someone else to test them out lol

Here we have a field in Praaven hosting both oats and wheat. The terrain is painted for crops anyway, so it was the perfect location for these to be shown off.

The largest fields (a custom swamp grass mesh) show up for a really good ways off, which is perfect for crops so you can get nice photos.

There are a couple of different meshes I applied these textures to. The two shown below are a clone of the tulip fields, which are perfect for lots because they're much smaller, but still give off that effect of having a small field.

These are a bit taller and fuller, and they also show up a long way off.

I hope y'all enjoy playing with these as much as I have testing them! Please tag me if you use them, I want to see them in your game!

Enjoy!!! <3

@rachel-homeanddesign-sims recently messaged me asking about the sunflower fields I tested [forever ago]. I wanted to get them out to you, and thank you for your lovely comments!

These were quickly packaged with the original image I created long ago, but nonetheless here they are. I hope you enjoy them in your game!

I will probably be pretty quiet for a while, we have been extremely busy lately and I haven't had time to touch my projects much less start any others. I hope things will calm down a bit and I'll be able to return with some new/finished stuff for all of my wonderful followers. Until then, I hope y'all are doing well! <3

Gonna go ahead and show what I've got for the grasses! I still have flowers and such to figure out but these are the final choices from my grass files! Woohoo! This is a huge step for the world, as I'll be replacing EA grasses around lots, and getting general terrain decorated. (I will have some extras that fit the tulip field better, so stay tuned for those, too)

Note for later: My world is a bit darker than the standard EA/ tropical ones, so if you're playing a brighter world feel free to edit the images so it'll suit your game. Just please don't redistribute without changing the SPT files, as it will overwrite the original.

Here we go(: These next few are the most realistic out of the bunch (Also my favorites)

These are slightly less realistic, but still loads better than the total toon of EA

These are somewhere in between the two.

Never thought I would be so excited for weeds... but these took FOREVER to finally get right so... I am. I'm excited for weeds! Also for my historical/medieval players, dandelions have a ton of medicinal purposes! I'm wanting the world to have harvestable plants around the hills for realistic food gathering. I see an apothecary featuring in the village! <3

With and without grass on UV >

These are the tulip fields. These tend to show more of the "base" or grass of the plant than the fields, and these are only good for flat ground since they're flat/even, but they're still pretty for lots and stuff that have even ground.

Still have more flowers to get through, but I'm starting to get through the pile now. I'll be finishing getting the textures into UVs (for testing) here pretty quick, then I can figure out which mesh I'm going to use for the flowers, edit them for various colors if they play nice, and then make packages for the ones who pass all the tests. (: I already have a few that are in the "Ooh gotta have those" pile lol. Hope y'all are excited for some flora despite the cold weather coming soon!

(Ironic, seeing as winter is my favorite season and I'm over here playing spring :D lol)

As you can see from this, I have... lots of options. Not all of these will make it through but I'm all about variety.
