Plant Pack Pt1: Water Plants
I hate that there aren't more plants available in game so I decided to do something about it. EA had some good bones so I started with EA meshes for most of these, tweaked, twisted, and gave them a makeover.
Base game compatible. There are only 9 meshes total but each mesh has several variations and you can re-color each variation (some have multiple channels) giving you endless possibilities to play with! These also sit on the ground as well so they can do double duty if you need them to.
Polygon Counts:
#1 WaterSurfaceLeaves_189v162f
#2 WaterTaro_492v444f
#3 WaterSurfacePlants_4v2f
#4 WaterRaisedLeaves_272v318f
#5 WaterLettuce_1143v756f
#6 WaterSurfaceFlowers_954v604f
#7 WaterPapyrus_738v594f
#8 WaterRaisedFlowers_504v502f
#9 WaterRaisedLeavesBuds_337v305f
This is a new mesh, and means that it's a brand new self contained object that usually does not require a specific Pack (although this is possible depending on the type). It may have Recolours hosted on MTS - check below for more information.

Install Instructions
1. Click the file listed on the Files tab to download the file to your computer.
2. Extract the zip, rar, or 7z file. Now you will have either a .package or a .sims3pack file.
For Package files:
1. Cut and paste the file into your Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Mods\Packages folder. If you do not already have this folder, you should read the full guide to Package files first: Sims 3:Installing Package Fileswiki, so you can make sure your game is fully patched and you have the correct Resource.cfg file.
2. Run the game, and find your content where the creator said it would be (build mode, buy mode, Create-a-Sim, etc.).
For Sims3Pack files:
1. Cut and paste it into your Documents\Electronic Arts\The Sims 3\Downloads folder. If you do not have this folder yet, it is recommended that you open the game and then close it again so that this folder will be automatically created. Then you can place the .sims3pack into your Downloads folder.
2. Load the game's Launcher, and click on the Downloads tab. Find the item in the list and tick the box beside it. Then press the Install button below the list.
3. Wait for the installer to load, and it will install the content to the game. You will get a message letting you know when it's done.
4. Run the game, and find your content where the creator said it would be (build mode, buy mode, Create-a-Sim, etc.).
Extracting from RAR, ZIP, or 7z: You will need a special program for this. For Windows, we recommend 7-Zip and for Mac OSX, we recommend Keka. Both are free and safe to use.
