This removes the silly sparkles that seem to infest all garden plants as soon as they are a bit nicer than crappy.

Update 2015-12-30: I think I managed to find the actual sparkle texture now, so I can override that directly -- that ought to be a much better approach than having to edit each plant individually. Since I can't track where exactly this texture is being applied, I can't tell for sure what it eliminates, but the garden of my sims is sparkle-free (and it sparkles like crazy without this mod).

Phew! Normal-looking plants!

Some of the plants on the screenshot use mesh overrides from here but the sparkle removal works independently of the mesh.
