I'm looking forward to seeing more from you in the future!
@RZN_ Thank you. I'm finalizing my Million Trees that removes all trees on map and replaces them with full custom forests.
wait arent u the dude from that one mod that puts more npcs and cars and u helped us ?
@itzzdawn Yes maybe. Xtreme Tool?
@InfiniteQuestion ye
That's quite a bit of work just for some trees.
@lelac14 Half an hour? For those who want more trees in their game, its worth the effort.
@InfiniteQuestion would this work on a custom island or only mainland los santos?
@mitto_backup Yes it will work with any ymap placed in the custom maps folder. If your using your own custom maps, you can skip step 1.
Welcome back!
can confirm creator is using ai for mod text
@Mrkai721 This is funny. I'll admit the logo was designed by AI, but the text was %100 made by me. I hate writting descriptions purely because of this. Either you look like a corporate tool for a simple mod, or the description looks written by an amateur so then so is the mod. You literally can't win anymore.
Did you at least try the mod?
@InfiniteQuestion yes, it is great.
EXCELLENT! THANK YOU!!!
@TeamHimes Thank you. Any suggestions you have for new tools or improvements let me know.
