The reason I created this default replacement mod is that the original ornamental pear tree doesn't look good at all because of its eye-searing neon green leaves. So, I desaturated and reduced the brightness of the tree trunk and leaves to make it as realistic as possible. I also edited the shadow map to reduce its brightness during the day. I’m not sure if anyone has created an override mod to fix this tree, but here it is.

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:
  • treePear_composite__0x5d4ed8a7d9545928
  • treePear_composite__0xdb74863514311077
  • treePear_composite__0xdb7486351431107d
  • treePear_d_0x68a4151eb07c487c

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.
