General Information
:Patch for Skyrim Flora Overhaul v 2. 8 is now available for those that do NOT use DynDOLOD or TES5LODGen
DNF is compatible with other tree mods that change vanilla trees, via DynDOLOD or TES5LODGen. Install and load mods that change vanilla trees after DNF.
the following mods are compatible via DynDOLOD or TES5LODGen:
- Skyrim Flora Overhaul
- Dark Fantasy Overhaul
- Enhanced Vanilla Trees
- Whiterun Great Forest (DNF does not add trees to the Whiterun tundra, except near Rorikstead/Reach border)\
- Realistic Aspen Trees and another other aspen tree mod
- Winter Overhaul 2019
- any retexture mod for vanilla trees
- any Bigger Tree mod (as long as billboards are provided)
- All Solstheim mods are out of box compatible as DNF does not add trees there
DNF is compatible with Enhanced Vanilla Trees. Use the 3D LODs provided with EVT or other source
This mod was created using only the creation kit and only vanilla assets were used
Mods that add more trees to Skyrim will not be compatible in general, as there may be overlapping trees
the following mods are not compatible and will have overlapping trees
- Dark Forests of Skyrim (DNF was created using this mod so it is 100% NOT compatible)
- Enhanced Landscapes
- Trees Addon
- Spring Forest overhaul
- Fantasy Forest Overhaul
- Tamriel Reloaded
Performance Impact
:- performance impact will depend greatly on your hardware, video card etc. This mod was tested with an i7, 2080 RTX and ENB, with little to no FPS loss.
- using high res textures for trees and barks will result in FPS loss with added tree density.
Installation and Load Order
:Install mod as is for vanilla skyrim with no other tree mods. Loose files are terrain LOD for trees
Skyrim Flora overhaul users should install both DNF and SFO, then overwrite with this patch. The patch needs to be added last, that is the only requirement. It doesn't matter if you install DNF or SFO first, as long as the patch is last
DynDOLOD and TES5LODGen users only need to install the .esp file, loose files are not needed as you be generating new ones with either af
Dense Nordic Forests adds over 8,000 hand-placed trees to Skyrim's landscape, enhancing forest density. It includes a patch for Skyrim Flora Overhaul v2.8 and fixes floating trees near Kynesgrove. Compatible with Enhanced Vanilla Trees and other tree mods, this is a solid choice for players seeking a more immersive, forested Skyrim.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Massive tree addition (8,000+) transforms Skyrim's forests into dense, immersive woodlands.
- Community-trusted with 281 endorsements and nearly 7,000 downloads.
- Compatibility patches for SFO and EVT show the author cares about integration.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2019 — may have issues with the latest Skyrim versions or other mods.
- Hand-placed trees can conflict with mods that alter the same landscape areas.
For Skyrim players who want a denser, more realistic forest experience without overhauling the entire game. Perfect for those who already use SFO or EVT and want extra tree coverage. Skip if you prefer performance-friendly mods or play on lower-end systems.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to install and manage the mod and its patches.
- Place the SFO patch after the main mod in your load order if you use Skyrim Flora Overhaul.
- Check for conflicts with other landscape mods that add trees or edit the same areas.
