I’m sure this has been asked before but does anyone know why it takes the Marketplace up to two weeks to release vendor updates?
It’s their approval process that takes that long. I’ve uploaded the last update the same time as simmarket but it’s still in waiting to be approved status.

Hey Bijan, could you pls take a look at Boise. It is full with photogrammetry trees and destroys the cityscape, plus some of the trees are just still insanely too big

I’ve been looking over the areas of South-Central Alaska, where I live, for some time now and I am finding that there are few areas of heavily forested areas in the sim depicted as they are in real life. With a few exceptions, most of what I am seeing appears to be smaller Willow or Alder bushes over all of the terrain from sea level to above the treeline on the mountains. While there are areas of heavy Willow and Alder mixed in with the forests in real life, mostly they are in or near wetlands and also above the treeline.
I’ve been debating for some time now as to whether or not to bring this up simply because it is such a large area in size. Areas around some airports, and specifically add-on airports appear as they should, but once you get some distance from them, the large Spruce, Fir, Pine, Birch/Cottonwood forests give way to the scrub-brush Willow and Alder over much of the terrain. If you have time to take a look at areas like PAWR, PAWD, JLA, and even the areas outside of PAWD and PAEN and you will see what I mean in the areas in-between these locations. Some of these locations are even surrounded by brush instead of the forests as well. Many of the areas of Alaksa in the sim that should be forested are not, and that is a shame, they are normally so beautiful.
Anyway, love your work, it makes such a difference in so many areas. Cheers.

Bijan I just resolved an issue I was having since CU 13 release. The SoFi stadium was messed up (collapsed roof) and some of downtown LA building textures/roof messed up. Here are some pics of the issue (removing Bijan Seasons Enhanced 3.5 corrected the issues).
I’ll look into this and see what’s causing this and release an update.

Yes, I have the same exact issue too.
I’ve not had a chance to look at any of the other areas covered by CU 13 but that may be needed.
Thank you for your diligent work. I waited for the Marketplace version and only realised it has been available there for some time - so when I filtered for the newest releases/updates this week it appeared now and I instantly purchased.
I do not mind the delayed Marketplace updates as they will now be automatic as I leave this add-on to be streamed without the requirement to monitor and handle external installers.

This is now fixed in V36 which is uploaded on bijanstudio.com and simmarket. Marketplace will have to wait since there is another update in the queue.
There were several other issues that were also fixed.

To make things easier for everyone, I’m moving to a fixed monthly update schedule.
Starting with Version 3.7, you can expect updates on the 1st of every month via my site and SimMarket. If you purchased through the Marketplace, the update will arrive as soon as Microsoft clears it through their approval process—unfortunately, I can’t predict that exact date.
This is noted on my website update page as well.

I bought from your website. Is there a way to transfer that purchase to Marketplace so I don’t have to worry about remembering to update it? Thanks!
Unfortunately it’s not possible to transfer the purchase to Marketplace.

That’s funny because I was thinking just the opposite. Is there a way to transfer from the Marketplace to Bijan Studio. If I was aware of the slow approval pace from the Marketplace I wouldn’t have purchased through them.

Yeah, there are certainly advantages and disadvantages to either. I know some developers do support the transfer of purchases out of the Marketplace, but I’m positive Microsoft doesn’t support the transfer of any purchases into it.
