Horse Chestnut

Horse Chestnut by MrMaison

When I was in Stockholm for PDXCon 2018, I saw this big beautiful tree with large white flowers while walking in a park. I had no idea what it was but always wanted to make it. Recently I discovered it's a Horse Chestnut tree. Then I got right to making this 4 piece set for the game. Here you have 2 summer versions (Large and Medium), a flowering Spring version and a young pruned one.

The Horse Chestnut (Aesculus hippocastanum) tree is also known as "Conker Tree". It is a large deciduous tree native to South East Europe. It can be found in many parts of Europe and temperate places around the world planted on streets and in parks. It's actually a distant relative of Chestnuts belonging to the Soapberry and Lychee family.
You can find more info here in the wiki https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Aesculus_hippocastanum and more places on the internet.

I'm giving a big shout out to AmipolizeFunk for taking time to capture and send me images of Horse Chestnut trees in his neigborhood in Berlin twice with different cameras :). They were very intrumental in forming the model of this tree. Also I want to give a big shout to PDelmo for his input along this journey.

Tree LOD Fix by TPB
To see them even further without them popping in and out use Ultimate Level Of Detail mod
Boformer's Random Tree Rotation mod
Also BloodyPenguin's No Radioactive Mod and Prop and Tree Anarchy
Sharp Textures mod really makes a difference in how the foliage looks in game.
The Tree De-Duplicator mod is good for when you get double trees.
