When I make SC4 Terrains to use in TS2, I never place trees! They take over the terrain! *laughs*
I wonder, has anyone looked into whether or not trees from Sim City have a bigger file thingy size than trees manually placed in Sims 2 neighbourhoods/decoration?
A plain treeless neighbourhood is dull I always find, so if there's no trees from the Sim City map, I have to place some from the neighbourhood decorations. Thing with trees from Sim City, is if your sim's lot gets placed somewhere where there's a tree from Sim City, it doesn't disappear, and the neighbourhood editor lot placer thingy doesn't tell you something is in the way like a manually place decoration tree will. Sometimes that's nice if it ends up in a corner of the lot or such, because then it's a free tree in the garden, although it needs to be a nice looking tree not a transparent blurry THING, or else then it's not worth it. But you can grab such trees individually from the neighbourhood and delete them before placing your lot.
So anyway, if it turns out that trees from Sim City have a smaller file size than trees manually placed in The Sims 2, then surely they're better, if you can be precise enough to only place them in Sim City sparingly.
