You don't get SC4 trees in TS2 so their file size doesn't matter. From what I have read, if you place a tree on the terrain in SC4 and then put that terrain in TS2, when you go to use it, something in the file tells TS2 that the terrain has trees (not how many) so TS2 then picks a tree any tree and randomly throws a random number of them on the terrain.
You can see it just by picking a terrain that has trees and making a few new neighborhoods with it. I used to do that to get one with less trees, before I got SC4 and started making my own, without trees.
My question was, whichever way the tree appears in The Sims 2, if it is from an SC4 terrain, is the individual tree a smaller or larger file size thingy than a tree placed in the neighbourhood once the Sims 2 game has been opened, from 'decorations' in the neighbourhood edit thingy. I'm meaning like .. pixels? like when you have CC and it's file size is big or small because of the pixels or something or other.
It's not difficult to remove the trees from the SC4 terrain once it's been opened in Sims 2. Just grab and delete.
My point is, if it is the case that the pixels/file size of the individual trees from an SC4 terrain are less/smaller than trees placed from the neighbourhood view, decorations, then it might actually be better to have them, since neighbourhoods do end up having trees anyway one way or another .. unless you're going for a desert landscape and even then those don't really look all that good without a cactus or such here and there.
