Personal Picked Upload! This is a personal favourite of the creator!
The reason I created this default replacement mod is that the original cherry blossom tree (sakura) doesn't look like real blossoming cherry tree due to its flowers aggressive saturation and constrast. As a result, it could be mistaken for a blossoming peach tree, which has dark pink flowers as this one. So I did some altering by desaturating and lightening the tree trunk and the petals to make it as realistic as possible.

The photos for this creation were taken in Sunset Valley, with an additional shadow/lightning mod. The tree may look a bit off when you install the mod, due to differences in the color settings you’ve applied or the type of color profiles on your PC monitor has. For example, when you use an LCD monitor like I do, the colors may appear less vibrant and have lower contrast compared to OLED displays.

Here is a list of the resources that were replaced:
  • treeCherry_bark_d_0x5b6597447ab3708e
  • treeCherry_composit_0x4e943617daaf2053
  • treeCherry_composit_0xfb9b590cf8578f50

As this is a image replacer, it will not conflict with anything unless you have something that replaces the exact same texture files. As such, it is compatible with all versions of the game, will not need updating for EPs/patches.

This is a default replacement textures,and it will automatically replace the existing tree in-game. You will not have to re-place the plants and trees for this to work; you may have to delete your thumbnail files and the cache files for the changes to show (though it doesn't matter and you can't really see much difference in the thumbnail).

To install this mod, first unzip the downloaded .rar archive. Then move the unzipped .package file into the Mods/Packages directory.
