I like making rows of lavender with Luna’s beautiful plants, and I hide the University harvestable amongst them. My sims wander down the rows picking the herb. When I am world-building, I prefer to play a CC free game. I am a bit addicted to default overrides for making things look better without adding new content. So, here is a default override of the World Adventures lavender. It makes it a lot fuller and more lush. This is lavender at full bloom, with the buds open.
Naturally I had to go totally overboard, so I’ve made five different colors: deep purple, deep lavender, purple, half pink, and pink, each in a choice of resolution (low 512 or high 1024). They don’t look all that different in the pictures, but in my game I noticed a big difference. Choose one color/resolution only. Preview pictures are included to help you choose the color.
And just for kicks, I retextured the University herb plant to make it less leafy and more herbaceous. It isn’t all that brilliant, but it is nice to have a bit of diversity in our harvestable gardens, so I thought I’d share that, too. It will retexture all of the University herbs (not the beans or basil and cinnamon plants). This is included in the lavender download as a separate package:
The deep purple is probably the best match if you are trying to blend it with Luna’s lavender (picture). You can find all of her lavender at her site, here: Luna’s Lavender
See how the deep purple looks with her lavender:
And if you want to make the lavender even better, you can use it with Pocci’s plant mod to make it placeable on slots: Moar Flowering
TOU: Feel free to alter these textures however you like, to share your improved versions, to use these textures to make other forms of CC, and to include this override as part of a custom world or any creation. Please give credit where it makes sense to. Thanks!
