Verdant Wasteland

Did you felt the need for summer in the wasteland? Always had the impression the sun deserves a more vibrant environment, than the one displayed in FO4? Well I feel like the game has a much stronger inclination for summer, and thus this Mod was born. It started as a simple retexture of the vines and grass, then quickly evolved into a full fledged "green" mod. I've retextured almost 90% of all grass and plant types, respectively simply exchanged autumn time with prewar summer time equivalents. To turn trees green you do not necessarily need to retexture the textures. It was all easily done with the use of material files.

What does this Mod do?

It turns the October wasteland into a June Verdant Wasteland, with diverse plant types wearing blossoms and leaf's. Retexturing includes all grass, plant and tree types, with the exception of some plants that I felt need to stay "wasted" for reasons of immersion, like for example the blasted grasses. You will see Roses in blossom, Brambles carrying fruits, dark green Vine and Helix leaf's, verdant and vibrant versions of Ilex, Viburnum, Evergreen, Buxus, Elms, Maple and much more. See the screenshots and videos for impressions.

How is it installed?

It is recommended to use NMM for easy installation, since there are only texture and material files. For manual installation, just copy the files over to the correct folders.

But this is a wasteland, plants can't grow there?

Who says that? Lore? Biology? Lore might be true, but biology says nature will always return, and since this a completely fantasy based open world game, I'm allowed to apply whichever fantasy I want to, right? Given the experience I gained in the last couple of days, I'm entirely sure Bethesda at one point had the idea to actually make this a game happening in summer time, or, what would be even more awesome, they'd planed for a DLC adding seasons. However, I never really had the feeling they forwarded an immersive display of autumn. It felt more like a summer without leaf's on plants.

Any additional recommendations?

I recommend using True Storms and Darker Nights for higher immersion. To get an even better experience,
