Animated Foliage for Fallout New Vegas (AFFFNV)

If you are interested in "higher quality animations" that do similar and additional assets consider downloading:

Bouncing Natural Botany(BnB) at Fallout New Vegas - mods and community (nexusmods.com)

but if not then proceed :)

Animates the leaves of 18 previously static trees to produce more life like foliage, the Animation is subtle and almost follows that of the grass( the leaves just move back and forth). One step closer to immersion .  The mod is only an Asset change so no ESP space is taken.

the yucca and josh tree animations are pretty bad. I made this mod because I was having a lot of fun playing around with animations, but tbh its not that great, if you want just simple vanilla stuff, so you don't have to worry about LOD then go ahead and use it. I have had a Few people ask me if this is compatible with Vurts foliage mods, and it is not as they are both replacers. the models used in this mod are base game, all I did was add some simple animations. This mod isn't reliant on any of the DLCs, so will work with pretty much any version of FNV you have.

Uses The games vanilla models and textures so it doesn't Impact performance

Simple Animations

No need for LOD generation as models are the same

Update 17/05/2021
