feature

Adds dwarf trees (i.e. 1-4 m) and tree clutter to the tundra; creating a lightweight boreal forest.

As you get further away from civilization, the forest becomes denser, embodying the remoteness of the wilderness

Careful positioning and sizing of trees to preserve mountain views of Mount Whiterun

Compatible with all plant, grass and tree mods

Highly optimized, the expected performance cost for a mid-range PC is around 3 FPS.

Install

Vanilla installation instructions

If using the vanilla tree model, install the main file and the vanilla LOD optional files.

Custom tree module installation instructions

If using alternate tree models and textures (i.e. SBT, RAT, EVT, SFO), only the main files are installed.

Install the appropriate billboards for any tree mod you use in your preferred overlay order.

Generate tree LODs using xEdit, xLODGen or DynDOLOD. (3D tree support using DynDOLOD)

Install the generated output into your data directory or as a new mod in the mod manager mod.

Explanation: A billboard is a two-dimensional image of a tree. When you generate a tree LOD via xEdit, two things happen. First, the billboard is compiled into a tree LOD atlas, which is a single texture that contains all tree LOD textures (this is great for performance). Second, it generates a series of files that tell the game where to express tree LODs (i.e., now throughout the entire Whiterun Tundra), the size of each tree in the game, and the position of the specific tree LOD image on the atlas texture.
