Victorian Palm House by MrMaison

Always wanted to use palm trees but you’re building in a non tropical map? Well now you have a way. Introducing the Victorian Palm House!
It comes with an interior where Cims can take it all in with a 360* array of huge glass windows and a glass dome.
This Hot House is inspired in part by the Victorian Palm House in the Royal Botanic Garden in Scotland. It’s the oldest glass house in Edinburgh. More info here http://www.rbge.org.uk/the-gardens/edinburgh/the-glasshouses
The architecture is great for large garden areas and parks in the more colder regions. But you can be creative and place it where you see fit 🙂

PLEASE READ!
The first thing you should do is go to the Victorian Palm House Trees and Props collection to check which items you are subscribed to. If you just want to use it the way I made it click the subcribe to all button if you’re missing anything. Link https://steamcommunity.com/workshop/filedetails/?id=1425853512
Instead of making all the trees and props a requirement, I made a collection where you can pick and choose what you want to appear inside.
But I did make some trees and props I think is important as requirements so they’re not missed.
If you want to be creative and customize the interior you can use Prop it Up to replace trees or remove them in game. Link https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=878991312&searchtext=prop+it+up
Use Prop &Tree anarchy to place additional trees and props inside https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=593588108&searchtext=prop+anarchy

The Transparency LODs Fix helps with the fact any glass/rotor shader based item does not support LODs. Link https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=922939393

GAME PLAY
Found in the "Parks" menu
For best results, place on flat terrain.
If you plop one of these and you see any poking from the tall Travelers Palms or the Blooming Jacaranda, just bulldoze and plop again as the trees will change orientation on every plop. But you must have Random Rotation mod for this function Link https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=556784825&searchtext=random+rotation
I tried my best to orient the trees so there’s minimal risk of trees poking through. The windier the area the more the trees will sway inside. Keep that in mind when placing.
I strongly suggest using a camera mod that will get you to ground level to enjoy the interior.
