I miss the old trees - oak and maple look too similar now

The models used to be more visually distinct but now a forest of maples and oaks just looks like one species. Don’t get me wrong, on their own the trees are beautifully rendered, but it would be nice to have more variety in how the four decorative trees look…

Agreed. It took me a while to get used to the new trees, but really the change did align with my desire for larger, old growth trees to be able to be planted. I guess the blurry texture is required to get our frame rates up/system resources down. But yes, I wish the maples and oaks had slightly more differentiation.

I like the old growth aspect. Forests feel very dark and thick. It’s just that the models are too similar. When I zoom right in and squint I can see slight differences in their colours and leaves but it’d be nice to not have to do that.

I also made a post on this a while back. To rehash, I actually like what they currently have for natural forests, but I do wish we could get the old trees for the decorative models. They felt more like the intentional “decorative tree left standing in my yard” than the current ones do.
