PRODUCT DESCRIPTION

Prepare for the onslaught as hoards of Leafers besiege your city every Fall to take in the beauty of  the Autumn leaves.

The Seasonal Woods lots are very similar to the PEG Random Woods... except these trees change with the seasons. Winter, Spring, Summer & Fall... the trees change to reflect the time of year in your cities. The Seasonal Woods also shuns the game's default "lolly-pop" trees and introduces 18 new BATed trees for greater realism.

The Seasonal Woods provides you with a fast & flexible means of adding realistic woodlands to your cities and surrounding rural areas. The Seasonal Woods randomly generates different types of trees as you plop the lot. This eliminates the need of constantly rotating the lot when plopping for a random look... and provides a more natural & realistic look when covering large areas.

The Seasonal Woods includes 4 new lots:

  • A 1x1 lot with full ground texture.
  • A 2x2 lot with full ground texture.
  • A 1x1 lot with transparent ground texture.
  • A 2x2 lot with transparent ground texture.

The Random Forest is PEG tested & Tree-Hugger approved. Each lot has properties similar to a small green park with slightly improved air pollution qualities. This lot is also 'Slope Conforming' so you can place it almost anywhere.


** This lot was designed for seamless integration with the PEG Trail Parks and the PEG Stream Kit. Obviously, it can be used by itself, singularly or in groups, anywhere in your cities where you need a little flourish of flora.

** Updated to Version 2.06a to improve seasonal transitions. Special thanks to Andreas for his contribution to this.

**All discussions and support for this product are hosted on the Pegasus Productions Support Site

Once installed, the product will be ready to use in your game. Lots will appear in the menu listed in the above Product Details section.

DEVELOPER NOTES

** Update Info: v2.06 includes a varied seasonal transition and a fix to the monthly cost of the 1x1 (Transparent) lot.

The new Transparent Lots have no lot base texture and will allow the game's existing texture to show through. These lots have been tested and the game's "overlay graphics bug" (aka.. the water graphics bug) will not affect them.

** Usage Tip: The 2x2 lots cover 4 times as much space yet cost only a few simoleans more. They an excellent comparative value. The 1x1 lots are more densely packed with trees. Intermixing them randomly with the 2x2 lots will create a very random and realistic effect. For greater variation in appearance, rotate adjacent lots as they are plopped.
