Dark Forests of Skyrim - Wyrmstooth edition
by mobiusbelmont
Wyrmstooth is still one of my all-time favorite new lands mods for Skyrim, and this is my landscape overhaul for the island. It's more realistic that my other overhauls and will give the island a Nordic atmosphere (IMO anyway).
The latest edition of this mod (1. 2) is for Wyrmstooth v 1. 18 and higher. DFOS-Wyrmstooth should also be compatible with older versions Wyrmstooth as well
DESCRIPTION: This is a standalone overhaul for only the island of Wyrmstooth. This mod will not change any vanilla assets.
this mod will add new forested areas including
dead aspens, dead pines, and more flora added to the hot springs.
a coastal redwood forest
dozens of dead, petrified trees added to the marsh
living pines, both regular and snowy, added to the island
a Finnish aspen forest
Compatibility : should be compatible with everything, including all mods for Wyrmstooth. I'll make patches and updates for support of other Wrymstooth mods. Version 1. 18 of Wyrmstooth is the latest release and no longer hosted on the Nexus.
INSTALLATION: Mod Manager or Manual, run LOOT, Wrye Bash, yadda yadda yadda
- All users should install the MAIN file.
- Users of SFO or DFO (or both) should also install the proper patch in the OPTIONAL files section. (Main file first, then overwrite with proper patch). NOTE: these patches need updated for version 1. 2 (forthcoming)
- Billboards are included in the latest version of this mod. If you use another tree mod you MUST run DYNDOLOD or TES5Edit
v1. 0 initial release
v 1. 1: removed vanilla aspen trees from the mining settlement for increased compatibility
v1. 1 hotfix: fixed meshes of dead trees in the marsh with bad collision bounds
v1. 2: fixed floating and clipping trees and mushrooms, added missing textures to bsa archive, cleaned plugin and sorted master files with xEdit
