Seasons 2024 Enhanced - By Bijan - Released

Thanks for that. Will the addon have any negative effect on the streaming of data, have you found the frames to be similar to without use of the mod?

It looks like sim market are quick to add your updates which is great.

That’s is no impact on frames.
It’s that’s good things about simmarket. Instant updates.

Do I need Simmarket App to install this?

Nope, just download and unzip to community folder. No apps involved.

I installed the newest 1.1 version from SimMarket (why not give it a new version number?) and started up the sim. First flight in Iceland I saw that the textures all around me were black. Server streaming problem? Then I remembered that I had deleted (with backup) the fs-biomes folder from the base sim. Put it back and restarted the sim, now everything looks fine again.

Just purchased it. Just had a quick flight from YSHL
flew over Shellharbour and Wollongong, can’t see any difference in tree foliage/density.
Before and after looks the same.
Interesting, will try other places later.
Just unzipped the downloaded file direct into 2024 Community.

I downloaded the latest version from SimMarket, let the .exe extract itself, and put the two folders “bijanstudio-bijan-seasons-enhanced-v1-1” and “SeasonsEnhanced” into my Community folder “C:\Users[user]\AppData\Local\Packages\Microsoft.Limitless_8wekyb3d8bbwe\LocalCache\Packages\Community”. As written in a post further up, I have put the “fs-base-biomes” folder back into the Packages folder to get rid of black ground textures.

But I still have trees in Iceland around BIAR, and the LA beaches have normal trees instead of palm trees. Any ideas?

LA beaches with palm trees were just done today. It will be included in next update.

I purchased it at Simmarket, but version is 1.1. I read it should be 1.2

What is the value of this add-on when seasons are default in 2024 now? Genuine question what does this offer and is everything that is featured available for Xbox?

It’s 1.1 . No changes was done to the seasons. Only structure was different.

Wow, those are a lot of features. Is all that on Xbox too tho?

It will be in near future .

@JasonMuc2112 There are some trees in towns but over all there are only grass and bushes.

Put it this way; Asobo gave us sand but Bijan made a castle with it.

While seasons and biomes and vegetation have been greatly improved over 2020, there still leaves a lot to be desired. Many parts of the world are overpopulated with trees and many include the wrong types of trees and exclude the right types of trees. This is the sand we got. The castle Bijan made is correcting all of these niggles by hand.

You don’t need this mod to get any of the features like seasons, 3D trees and vegetation, you need this mod to make them look RIGHT.

I have those fixed again. They keep popping up in new location in buildings near by.
