Is there a problem with the K-points machine ? I received 2 more points this night (for us in Europe) , just for being the spokesman of this feat ...  $%Grinno$% ... now I feel like a vulgar usurper . ::)

Let me precise a few things about my role : on December the 19th I received from Antoine a batch of files ; his seasonal maples & firs modded by Carl . As a gift & to test them . I did like it was requested in the Ltext , I plopped them in August and ... It didn't work . It was a total seasonal mess so to tell you the truth , I was very sceptical ...

The day before , December the 18th , I received from David a very bad new ; his decision to get retired from SC4 activities , with , as consolation gift , all his finished works ; various props & trees ... Seeing them , Carl proposed immediately to Modd them . I accepted  imediately too , with all my restlessness to see David's work honored like deserved ...

Yesterday morning , January the 7th , Carl sent me back David's trees . « To be planted on a first of September »  . And it did work like a charm ... then I have had the curiosity to plant Antoine's maples & firs the first of september as well , game on pause , and ... oh God , it was so magical that I stayed several minutes mesmerized in front of my computer , looking at this tremendous ballet of seasons ... I couldn't wait any long to announce this to the community . That's the story .

Thank you very much David for having pointed your finger at other members involved ; Andreas , Jeroni , Vil, Brian ...

Thanks all.   These wont interfere with your tree controller.

...But they would if you told them too  ;)

Another unlocked dream ? Makes me think about about Pandora Box story with a better end !  ;D

Congratulations , plain folks ... in fact  you're giants . :thumbsup:

Cédric.

EDITCédric, I corrected "Zil" to Vil in this and the original post.  He and Andreas identified the exemplar property that turned out to be the key to the whole thing over at the BSC site a while back.  Oh, and thanks for your kindness- I'm just a tinkerer though among the many BAT and MOD Gods on that list. -dedgren

I know the title says "Mayor Mod seasonal ploppables" but could these tress potentially be built into a God mode tree controller? They look amazing by the way!  &apls

Been away for a while.  it's nice to see work like this is still being done!

It's just that I'm the quiet type, that's all.

This is just fantastig newes. And I am happy that my new region is just beginning to see its first outlines and that not even one tree has been panted there...
But now I have to relot all my lots with the seasonal props....

&apls  &apls  &apls  :thumbsup:  &apls  &apls  :D  &apls

Oh, man, why always complain, why always want more? This is so great.....
Why did Maxis make so much possible with SC4 but did so little themselves? This game probably contains even more possibilities... Who programmed these knowing that they would not be used?

One key limitation of these ploppable is that you have to plop them at a distincitve time (september 1st, IIRC) in order to make the chaning sequence for the different seasons functioning as designed. I'm not sure if this is supported in God Mode, and even if it would work, it is probably not a good idea to fill your entire map with seasonal trees, as the exchange of the tree models in each season might become pretty resource-intensive.

Trees get planted depending on moisture level, which changes through the year.  You can test this by GMing some trees in Jan, and then in July.  You will see different trees planted.

So simply changing the RKT in a c.p. controller may not work so well. If the KSC4Flora Preferences are changed to better fit Sept 1st, then these trees will appear in god-mode and be seasonal.

With god-mode amounts they certainly effect the speed of the game, but only on the two days they change.  For my computer, trying to change zooms with the shadows on is far more intensive.

@FrankU:  Seasonal flora shouldn't be placed on Lots.  Their timing starts the instant they are created, so you seasons will be off if they grew in Jan.  (Hence the Sept 1st thing).  Timed props are much better for this, plus you get to use more than three models.

FrankU

@Lowkee, ah yes. I should have realised that myself.

Amazing work, congratulations everyone involved  :thumbsup:  &apls  &apls !
I presume this is done using RKT4 with three models instead of RKT5 and modding some values in the FloraProperties, right?
Quick questions: what happens if one plops the trees on March 1st, instead of Sep 1st? Will your city simulate the changing wheather for the southern hemisphere?
