Garden plants and climates
I know I can use whatever plant I wish to use in whatever world I like, but somehow I try to be realistic. Not using banana palms in Windenburg, and not using birch trees in Selvadorada. But with more packs added, I find that there are many new garden plants that I could add to old lots. I keep forgetting upgrading my existing lots with content from new packs.
To the topic, I want to be realistic, and I wish the game would indicate the climates for all the plants somehow. There could simply be a tiny red spot on the object's buy and build icon if the plant is *not* suited for the world you are currently in. The game knows the world's climate, so it shouldn't be that hard to code, misplaced plants could even die more easy. I'm not talking about greenhouses, but out in the not sheltered gardens.
I might push the limits a bit if the garden owner has higher gardening skills, then I'd believe s/he would be better at making a misplaced plant thrive :)
Do you pay attention to climate zones when you build a garden? Palm trees might look a bit off in certain worlds, but it's harder to choose from the garden flowers/shrubs. Like the Bougainvillae, it typically likes a warm and sunny climate, would it look off in a world like Brindleton Bay or Windenburg? Or do you just mix all plants wherever you like, regardless of their preferences?
