Midsummer pole

Description
GLAD MIDSOMMAR!

My first real Cities: Skylines asset that I modelled and textured from scratch. It's the pagan and barbaric, traditional Swedish "midsommarstång". It's main use is to be danced around during the celebration of the summer solstice holiday "midsommar" in Sweden. Symbolically it's supposed to be a sign of fertility so yes, it is what it looks like ඞ. See the incredible short english wiki on the topic [en.wikipedia.org]. Apparently the pole is sometimes is refered to as a "maypole" in english, which is blasphemous.

The asset is a prop, based on the 100km/h speed sign template. To find the asset ingame you can use the mod Find It! 2 and search for "midsummer" or just "pole". Huge thanks to hitzu who basically walked me through blender and asset-making for hours on discord until I was proficient enough to produce this asset. I could have never done it, nor would I probably ever have wanted to, without their terrifc help and extraordinary patience.

I have previously created this vanilla asset MoveIt-export[allbuilds.org] (5th picture shows comparision). You can use that one if you prefer it but I cannot lie, the actual prop is prettier.

Some Swedish keywords to help the key demographic find this asset:
Sweden Swedish Sverige svensk midsommar sommar

If you like this creation please consider rating it and checking out my other stuff. If you want to go one step further you can also tip me for a coffee or subscribe to my patreon page. Your contributions, however small, really helps motivating me to put more stuff like this on the workshop!
