📋 About This Mod
Changes from Vurts Solstheim Tree Replacer II :
Animations for most trees, some of the snowy trees with a lot of snow and ice will not move at all.
Scots Pine trees added in place of some of the not-so-great looking fir trees.
* Altered a lot of the trees in various ways to make them a bit less obstructive
My other animated trees:
Bitter Coast
Ascadian Isles

💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's esp-less, just drop the files into your Data folder or use a mod manager—no load order sorting needed.
- If you use other tree mods, this may conflict; test in a new save or use a mod manager to manage overwrites.
- Check that you have the Dragonborn DLC installed, as Solstheim is part of that expansion.
