Legendary Edition also available

This is a Rainforest Overhaul Legend Edition that covers most of the world space of the base game and DLC minus the visual excess. Extensively tested for compatibility with most known popular mods.

Characteristics and changes

The mod covers and changes parts of Tamriel, Dawn Guard Headquarters, Falmer Valley, and Solstheim.

There is no room for powerful blooming or changing images.

The interior of the ice and snow becomes a temperate green cave.

Icicles and ice caps were removed or replaced with lily pads.

The small vanilla flora remains mostly intact indoors, their outdoor world space model replaced by a tropical model.

All the snowy weather was replaced with torrential rain. Some areas have been modified to have tropical climates and are compatible with the vanilla weather of most ENB presets.

To improve visibility and clarity, the mod makes modifications to the weather.

Sounds of strong winds were removed, and sounds from around the tundra were transplanted to other previously snowy areas.

Statics with snow/ice shade flags are stripped away and their side effects don't disappear randomly.

Jungle environment sounds were added.

Object LODs are correctly placed in the base game.

Based on the vanilla tree's original size, select and place the tree accordingly.

Skaal villagers and hunters wear fur, leather, scale armor, and light clothing.

Care has been taken to move or remove obstacles and stray collision cubes.

The color and characteristics of water have been modified to make it look better in-game.

To be sure, the MOD has been checked and cleaned using xEdit and tested repeatedly before release.
