Christmas Trees Expanded
Are you tired of the boring pine tree for your festive and jolly Christmas festival? There might not even be a pine tree where your colonists call home, so where did it even come from? Perhaps thousands of years from now, the term "Christmas tree" could mean any kind of tree. With this mod you can choose from a large variety of Christmas trees, perfect for all colonies and lore backgrounds on the rim.
This mod uses the Vanilla Expanded Framework and allows the player to change the texture of the Christmas tree added in the Ideology DLC. While the Ideology DLC is needed, Royalty and Biotech will not be required to use and enjoy the mod. Although you don’t need those DLC however, you will still need those DLC to gain access to their respective trees. Safe for installing and uninstalling mid saves.

Q: Can I install this mid game? Can I uninstall this mid game?
A: Yes! This mod allows you to change the texture of the base game Christmas tree instead of giving you multiple christmas trees, filling up your architect menu. Removing this mod will simply make the christmas tree return to it’s original appearance.
Q: What if I use a mod that retextures the christmas tree but I want to use this mod?
A: Mods that retexture the original christmas tree will only retexture the original pine texture. You will still see the other tree variations as normal and should only affect the original pine christmas tree. This is of course assuming that the retexture mod is loaded after this mod. If you want to use our retexture of the original christmas tree, put this at the bottom.
Q: Is this CE compatible?
A: No, I secretly added a patch dedicated to destroying your save game if CE is found. After all, retexture mods are not supposed to be enjoyed by CE players.
Special thanks to WRelicK for helping optimize and providing feedback on the code. Also special thanks to Helixien, Sarj, SirVan, Pphhyy and Oskar for allowing me to alter their tree textures to make this mod diverse and compatible to their mods. Note that this mod uses tree textures from other modders, and christmas tree ornaments and slight edits by me, therefore any modifications to the textures of this mod must be consulted with their respective artists before hand.
