Tree Replacer (1.1)

Description
Replaces trees on decorated roads, parks and building plots.

The mod creates a configuration file that can be edited to select the tree models and to toggle features. By default, this version of the mod does not replace any trees.

This is just a visual mod! You can load an existing save, and it will replace the trees. You can also still load your save files after disabling/uninstalling this mod. It will not break your save files.

Features
  • Road Tree Replacement
  • Building Tree Replacement
  • Support for workshop assets and custom tree models
  • Configuration per theme (European, Boreal, Temperate, Tropical)

Known Bugs and Limitations
  • When you load an existing city from the main menu, and zoom far away, the game will display the default tree models.
    Workaround: Press ESC after the city is loaded to open the "Pause Menu". Press "Load Game" and reload the city.
  • Replacement with palm trees only works on tropical maps.
  • Replacement with pine/conifer trees only works on nordic maps.

Configuration

Enable the mod and create/load a city. The Mod will create the default configuration file with a configuration section for the theme you selected.

Open the configuration file located at "[steam-install-directory]\SteamApps\common\Cities_Skylines\TreeReplacer2.xml" with an editor (e.g. Notepad). Edit the values as you please:

replaceRoadTrees - Enables tree replacement on roads (true or false) replaceResidentialTrees - Enables tree replacement on residential plots replaceCommercialTrees - Enables tree replacement on commercial plots replaceIndustrialFarmingTrees - Enables tree replacement on farm plots replaceIndustrialForestryTrees - Enables tree replacement on forestry industry plots replaceParkTrees - Enables tree replacement on parks replaceOtherBuildingTrees - Enables tree replacement on any other buildings tree2_lane - The name of the tree used on decorated small roads. tree4_lane - The name of the tree used on decorated medium roads. tree6_lane - The name of the tree used on decorated large roads. removeUglyDirtUnderTrees - removes the dirt texture that is visible under trees (works only if you load the city twice)

After that, you will find a list of trees that looks similar to this one:
<Tree original="Tree2" replacement="CherryTree01" /> <Tree original="Tree2variant" replacement="CherryTree01" /> <Tree original="Tree3variant" replacement="CherryTree01" /> <Tree original="Alder01" replacement="CherryTree01" /> <Tree original="Beech01low" replacement="CherryTree01" /> <Tree original="Bush01" replacement="CherryTree01" /> <Tree original="Bush02" replacement="CherryTree01" /> <Tree original="palm01" replacement="CherryTree01" /> <Tree original="palmplant01" replacement="CherryTree01" /> <Tree original="CherryTree01" replacement="CherryTree01" />
In the example above, the mod would replace all tree models with the cherry tree found in the Japanese Garden.

After you edited the config, restart the game (or reload the city) to apply the changes.

I would download the mod but it takes a while and I'm not willing to wait like 15 minutes to then wait another 15 minutes

Why is this mod not all over the place? Years old, works absolutely perfectly. All buildings and networks use my 'Chosen Trees' now. Only have to change the free standing chees by hand..
If anyone is like me, not planning on changing trees manually on every single asset, but you hate vanilla trees, this is the way to go wihout performance drop. It's just code.

For anyone wondering: In the xml file it registers EVERY tree you've got, including your custom assets. You can copy the name from there and change the vanilla tree in your custom asset. Any assets you don't want to replace; just leave them be.

'open the configuration file/restart game...' so, it changes the trees of every type of road which have trees at once ? Not a single piece of road with trees ?

Does this mod still work?

Okay, seen your replies. Apparently, already have that. Also, I got Snowfall to couple with that and Winter Buildings Unlocker so I can periodically turn those service buildings on and off between gaming sessions.

@monguinassassin You can get tree seasons using this mod: https://steamhost.cn/steamcommunity_com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=791968744&searchtext=

Hi. I really love this mod but when I reinstalled my mods, this one didn´t work anymore :( By that I mean that it is no longer showing up whenever I am placing a road.
What should I do to fix this or can this be fixed? Thanks :)
