Flora Default Replacement - Sims 4 Style

Hey, Tvickiesims here.

A certain someone desperately needed some trees in Sims 4 style for their game so I couldn’t leave it like that and made some defaults. For all the flora in game :D

This is a full mesh and texture default replacement for trees, shrubs and flowers in Sims 2. There’s also a replacement for orchard trees, crops (texture only), crops weeds and garden weeds. Ivy wasn’t replaced because Lord Crumps already has a nice replacement for it. I also replaced ocean algae/debris with various grass meshes, I use Phaenoh’s recategorizer so in my game it appears among shrubs, otherwise you will find them in deco-plants (these will conflict with Lord Crumps’ house plant replacements so you need to choose his version or mine).

Just like my original replacements, shrubs will keep their original state when overgrown and flowers won’t have fading animation. I still highly recommend using Perfect Plants mod with these.

These replacements were meant to go with @bstu More Sincere Tree Imposters because I implemented similar fixes for other trees that were missing in their mod. It’s not necessary per se, just know that if you don’t use the mod, you’ll get a mix of highly detailed new trees in hood view with original Maxis ones.

The decorated maple tree requires a modified CEP-Extra that is included, otherwise the tree will break. If you already had it – replace your old one with mine. If you didn’t have it – simply put it in your zCEP-Extra folder of your Documents.

If you would like Hydrangea to have the 3 additional recolors - make sure to install the 2nd CEP Extra included (one file goes into your documents folder and the other into your game installation folder).

Last thing – I’ve included a small mod that makes all flowers intersectable with other objects which makes them placeable near trees, shrubs and basically any other object without cheats.

A very special thank you goes to @episims who very kindly got rid of effects on decorated maple for me <3

All plants are separated so you can pick and choose. All conversions and edits are my own. I won’t make custom versions for these because pretty much all the plants here were already converted by other creators.

Compressed, clearly labelled, picture included.

UPDATE 01/05/2023 - I forgot to include the texture replacement for crops/vegetables. Please redownload if you want to have it!

UPDATE 07/12/2023 - Added A V2 version for the papaya tree, be sure to keep only one!

UPDATE 09/12/2023 - Added replacements for Hydro Hyacinth, and 2 Umbrella Water Plants (previously not included), got rid of unnecessary textures (the file size was reduced considerably) and replaced some textures with better made ones. Now also includes a Hydrangea CEP Extra and 3 recolors for it.

UPDATE 16/06/2026 - Removed V1 papaya because its model became redundant, updated maple's textures, fixed/added winter states/textures for decorated cactus, willow, joshua tree, hibiscus, palms, agave, papaya, birch, breadfruit, 3x3 bamboo, all BV firs and plumeria.
