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

I just disliked my first animations which had abrupt stops, so I made new continuous animations, but they are a bit fast and seem like they are in a tropical storm. lol. makes them a lot more noticeable, I know some of you prefer that.
