📋 About This Mod

Description

Optimized Vanilla Tree LODs adds missing tree LOD models, HD billboards, and improves the vanilla tree LOD branch textures by rebuilding the textures from the original full textures. It also helps to alleviate tree pop-in.

TexGen can be used to ensure compatibility with tree mods.

Installation
Install and activate like any other mod. By itself, this mod does nothing. You must regenerate Object LOD using FO4LODGen to see the results. Please see my Usage guide here for basic instructions.
