The last desert plant (similar to the poplar) is now a cypress as well as it could be.

Siberia textures improved & everything finished except the dirt road.

Mountain textures adapted for European biome, same as for Siberia.

The entire vegetation has been revised.
European vegetation - Finished
Desert vegetation - Finished
Siberian vegetation - Finished [so far]
Jungle vegetation - In progress

The standard bush is now a hazel bush, the old small bush is now a monk's pepper bush & a dog rose bush.
The old large bushes are now blackberry bushes.

The old beech tree is now an oak tree & the old arcacia is now a hazel tree.

The old poplar is now a gray poplar with a lighter trunk.

The pines have been replaced by the old/new spruce & other fir constructs.

There is a real fir tree (the old Tuhja) & also a blue spruce (the old spruce)

New desert vegetation consists plants from the Middle East, Africa, Mediterranean, South America, American & Eurasia Deserts.
Desert ground textures have been improved. Correct sand color & the too light underground at construction sites or roadsides has been adjusted.
Mountain textures adjusted & oasis textures, based on real pictures.

The Standard Yellow Desert Bushes (Large & Small) are now Salsola busch - Saltbush - Tumbleweed & Retama raetam - White Broombrush [Grows in - Eurasia, North Africa, Southern Europe, American & Middle Eastern Deserts]

The small standard bush is now a prickly pear - Opuntia ficus-indica [Grows in - American, Mediterranean, Middle East, South America, Africa Deserts]

The standard Acacia (Yellow Tree) is now Acacia tortilis/raddiana - Desert Acacia [Grows in - Middle East/Africa]

The other standard Acacia (Yellow Tree) is now an Olive Tree - Olea europaea subsp. sylvestris [Grows in - Middle East & Africa]

The old Big Green Bush is now Yucca brevifolia - joshua tree [Grows in -American Deserts ( Mojave Desert )]

The last desert plant (similar to the poplar) is now a cypress as well as it could be.
--------------------------------
Palms are unchanged.


By the way, European vegetation was used on vanilla desert maps. This was done by the map designer, it looks strange with the mod but you can live with it. I recommend using mod maps that only use desert vegetation.

Map creators can now create specific US or Middle-East deserts.

The default fence is now a guard rail for roads (a bit fiddly to place close to roads)
The old wooden wall is now the new wire mesh fence in green.
The concrete wall with diamond pattern is now a decorative wooden wall.



For decorative textures, the small footpath is the texture of the better footpaths & the large one is the natural cobblestone pavement



NOTE

This mod needs a little more performance due to the new vegetation.
I had a potato PC with i7 2600, 16gb ram & a GTX 1050TI 4GB.

It runs smoothly for me, but you should avoid very dense forests.
On my current playthrough with most buildings it runs just as good/bad as before.
When starting the game for the first time after mod installation, it may happen that the game crashes once. This only means that it has adopted the changes & is unique so far.
This is not a real error.
When asphalt roads are drawn over concrete cobblestone streets, an optical bug is created. That a few cobblestones are missing & gravel is visible.
As far as I know, there is nothing I can do about this. This has been happening to the roads since the last bigger official update.
If you connect roads to the intersections as shown in the picture, this bug does not occur. So asphalt roads should not cross concrete cobblestone roads.
The (gravel roads) normal dark cobblestone roads do not cause any problems.Vanilla outdoor sports fields now have guard rails as fences due to the change. I recommend Mod sports fields.


Improved traffic at customs houses is included.If the game crashes when you want to buy (loadable) track builders at Soviet customs houses,
simply use the NATO customs houses. The bug does not occur there. (This probably comes from the integrated mod for improved customs house traffic.)
No more eternal queues because all the spaces are occupied by one vehicle.


Don't forget to make a backup beforehand.
