Melchior Dahrks Mallorn Trees in Tamriel Rebuilt

UPDATE TO 3. 5 A big thanks to reaps! There is now no need to use any BSA programs. (WH-) Reaper re-dated the folders so they load after the BSAs. I know how to change the time stamps through Wrye Mash but not this way. THANKS REAPS!!!

For the past few years I have admired Melchior Dahrk's Mallorn Trees in Morrowinds (http://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/43221/?) and have wondered why no one has used them. Maybe it is because they are categorized in Models and Textures instead of Resource but nonetheless they tree are beautiful. Recently I returned to Morrowind and installed the latest Tamriel Rebuilt (http://www.nexusmods.com/morrowind/mods/42145/?) release. The mainland is fascinating but the further south I went the tree models just got uglier and uglier. They just don't look good at all and that is when it hit me...

Old instructions pre-reap. These are not necessary any more.

Unfortunately it is not as easy as just manually installing or using nexus mod manager or Wrye Mash because Tamriel Rebuilt packs all their Meshes and Textures in a BSA file format. So we have to extract \ unpack all the files from the BSA and then manually use these new Mallorn tree meshes and textures, allow them top overwrite the old ones and then re-package everything as a new BSA.

Easy Peasy. I will walk you through it with Step by Step instructions. It will take less than 10 mins and your Tamriel Rebuilt will have Mallorn trees.

This doesn't replace all the trees in Tamriel Rebuilt. You will still have other types of trees. For example if you use Vurt's Ascadian Isles then they will be in TR as well or like in  my case I have Vurt's African Trees, Vurts Ascadian Isles trees and MD's Mallorn trees. You can also use MD's Ascadian Isles tree replacer so there are lots of choices. This mod will replace 12 types of trees with Mallorn trees. The 12 models all look the same and even though the TR Team recently changed these same trees it didn't changed the appearance for me. These Mallorn trees are stunningly beautiful and you can see them (if your mgeXE draw distance is at 28 or higher) from across The Inner Sea. The leaves are yellow with some green but I may make some recolours adding green and orange...
