Flowers and Shrubs Upgrade

The December 1, 2003 update allows this to now work with any version of The Sims. Now you can place the flowers and shrubs (from the original Sims game) through other objects, indoors, on the water – and even place the flowers on slopes as well! Expand your decorating choices – plant flowers where your bushes are, hide objects in the hedges, or surround objects with roses – the list goes on…

Two files are included: “FlowersOutdoor.iff” and “Shrubs.iff”, and both should be put in your “…GameData/Objects” folder. See the enclosed “readme” file for more information.
