Is it possible to hide maxis content from the game?

I've had the tree "spawning problem" when I use certain downloaded maps. I have to spend hours getting rid of the damn trees...usually one by one. My son suggested I use SimCity4, load the map, and see if I could get rid of the trees in SimCity4, then try loading the newer map.
I have not tried this. But it is a good suggestion, if you have SimCity4, and want to see if it will work. Otherwise, you just have to give up using those maps, (and there are some very nice ones) or spend hours deleting the damn trees, and now ponds, by hand.

You could just use neighborhood terrain surgery via the Mootilda tool: Swap the neighborhood decorations in from a neighborhood devoid of such decorations.

It's been a long time since I used SC4 to make a few terrains and I don't have it installed right now to test, but from what I remember it should be easy to remove trees via SC4 and it's easily pirated.
If it's just one terrain, it might be faster to just take out the ponds by hand, but if this happens to you a lot, it'll be a lot simpler to have a copy of SC4 on hand to whip off the trees with.

I had to learn how to make treeless terrains, damn things used a different tree almost every time a hood was generated off the terrain. Once I had a hood filled with PINK trees. Ghastly.

I did terrain surgery by hand a few times, just to rid myself of trees, before Mootilda's tool. Since the old method never preserved 'hood deco, I just replaced the terrain with a copy of the same one. It was much easier than using SC4. I assume Mootilda's tool makes it even simpler.
