Thank you so much for this! I always use these shrubs on my lots now and they look so much more realistic with all the different sizes put together. There's one thing though that others already mentioned, the original maxis shrub (or hibiscustree actually ) keeps flashing blue when I use one of the custom recolours when the season changes from summer to fall or winter. I do not have Bon Voyage so that is not the problem, my latest EP is Seasons.
Edit: spelling!

I adore these because the Midbiscus is probably my favorite Maxis plant (tree, shrub, whatever) I'm having the same issue with the recolors working fine on the shrubby shrub meshes themselves, and even on another creator's miniature Midbiscus, but not on the Maxis original plant. On the Maxis plant, the recolors look normal in buy/build but start flashing blue when I go to live mode. I do have all SPs and EPs so it could conceivably be a compatibility issue. I can live without being able to use the recolors on the original Maxis plant but I'd love it if I could For now, I just have lots of shrubby shrubbery instead of the Midbiscus.

Shrubby Shrubs! This is one of those things that I didn't even know was missing from the game until I saw this. Thank you!

Currently not base game-compatible for some inexplicable reason - I am investigating further why this is and will be fixing it as soon as I discover the cause. These work fine for me in all EPs up to Seasons and I bet they'll work with less, just... not the base game only at the moment. Grawr.


Tis a shame, I was planning to use most of your most excellent Shrubby Shrubs as replacements for all of my "firefly bushes" as a part of my Land Of Oz and its "lighting" needs. . . Oh well, but you have done so very very much for so many and this is such a very small thing.

Cheers!

You're right, what the game needs is this, different heights of shrubs like there are in nature.

These are great and will really help my lousy gardening skills! but I'm wondering; I have downloaded lots from here and they have them landscaped so much more naturally than the stuff I can do (all in a row) is there some cheat to be able to place a bush off center on the tile so that can be kind of bunched together?

These are lovely, but they flash blue whenever the season changes to fall; is there a way to make them seasons compatible?

I can't believe I didn't find these until now! Thank you so much! I don't know how many times I've silently screamed at EA/Maxis for not providing any natural looking shrubs when playing this game. Not everyone is into the super-trimmed hedge look, so these will be perfect!
