📋 About This Mod

ALL DEAD TREES

by mobiusbelmont

General Information:

- This mod does NOT place new trees in the game, it only changes vanilla trees

There are three versions of this mod to choose from:

- The "Red Pines" version has a mixture of red pines and leafless pines, also a mixture of dead and recolored aspens.  ALL vanilla trees are altered.

-  The "green Pines" version replaces only a few pine tree models with leafless ones, also a mixture of dead and recolored aspens.  About half the vanilla pine trees are unaltered.

- The 3-D version features modified Mathy's 3-D trees and replaces all vanilla trees (this version is not recommended for old or slow PCs)

(see images section for pics of 3D version)

**Core files plus billboards are for modders who wish to generate their own tree LOD with DynDOLOD or TES5LODGen.

- Billboards and 3D LODs are available for use with DynDOLOD and TES5LODGen.  Use either program to mix this mod with other mods that add additional trees to Skyrim.

- 3D LODs are for 2D red pines and green pines versions.  I will attempt to make 3D LODs for Mathy's trees (3D-1 version of this mod) in the future

Compatibility:

- Combining this mod with other tree and landscape overhauls will require the use of TES5LODGen or DynDOLOD.   Download one of the "core files plus billboards" versions of this mod if you plan to generate your own tree LOD with either aforementioned program.  I will make patches for a few other mods when I can.

- If you want the dead trees from this mod to overwrite changes made by other mods, install other mods first then this mod and overwrite when asked (along with installing the billboards for both mods in the same order).  Adjust the load order so all other overhauls are loaded before DeadSkyrim.esp (they should come before DeadSkyrim.esp).

- The 3D versions of this mod is incorporated into Dark Forests of Skyrim Full version 3D-1.  Use Dark Forests of Skyrim FULL version if you want the 3D trees from this mod plus new forests filled with living and dead trees

Installation:

- Install only ONE main file:

-  SSE port forthcoming.  I

💡 Beginner Tips

  • If you use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, install this mod and let it overwrite any other tree mods to ensure the dead trees appear.
  • Check your load order — place this mod after other landscape or tree mods to avoid conflicts.
  • Since the mod replaces all trees, consider pairing it with a darker ENB or weather mod to enhance the atmosphere.
