So I bought the European pack and I love it. The animals, the scenery pieces,... it's beautiful. But when it comes to the Olive tree, some things feel a bit off to me. I was really hyped for new foliage representing my region, but I was a bit disappointed by the Olive tree, and I hope to bring Frontier's attention to this.
We have 4 Olive tree models in the game, including one with a big thick trunk while the others are much smaller and thinner in comparison. I like the small ones, they are very cool, and the biggest one looks relatively okay at first, BUT, when I saw it next to a person in the game I realized how ridiculously MASSIVE it was (see here : https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/570663824374366253/920316801030696971/Olive_tree_2.png ). When you look at the largest real olive tree in the world, holding the record and being way bigger than the average olive tree (see there : https://pbs.twimg.com/media/D5oB9LZXkAIGeQI.jpg ), it's still a dwarf compared to the large olive tree in Planet zoo (and remember the one in the photo is an absolute unit compared to the average Olive tree). It's so big that it's not even realistic actually, which is sad because it throws off the realism of some constructions. Sure you can sink it into the ground, but there are way too many branches and the foliage is way too dense so it makes it look weird, and it still looks way too big to be realistic, as the average and typical Olive tree is really not that big.
This makes me sad because it's the only Olive tree in the game with a thick trunk, the other ones being much thinner and less appealing in comparison. I was really hyped for a big old Olive tree to put in Meditteranean setups, but not something that is so ridiculously big. Old olive trees are typically very short, with a thick trunk, twisted branches and relatively low foliage density, and I wish we would have a tree that would look like that for the biggest specimen in the game. You can see some examples there :

To me this is how the bigger Olive trees should look like in the game, and I hope that the largest one will be edited to be shorter, a bit thinner and with a bit less foliage to better represent the appearance of Mediterranean Olive trees.
Thank you.
