📋 About This Mod
Please note that all models in this resource pack can not be used in "pay-for-mods". To make it easier for mod creators there is two downloads types, regular with everything and "pay-for-mods" usable. Please respect the model creators wishes and don't use the restricted models in mods you sell for money.
This resource pack includes new models by Ztree and re-textures both of original Skyrim and GKBs plant, bushes and tree models. Among the trees and bushes you will find, are new pines, willows, sloe, birch, gorse, raspberry, oak, aspen, maple, poplar, junipers, heather, goat willow, mountain birch, alder, lilacs, mock oranges, sea buckthorn and rowan. Ztree's new plants include crane's-bill, wood anemone, ferns, tulips, daffodils, crocus, water lilies (separate file) and different kinds of bushes.
This mod is a resource of trees, bushes and plants that you can use yourself. There are no changes to the Tamriel worldspace.
This resource is used in the Hoddminir mod, and are made with that mod in mind. With some exceptions, these trees are spring and summer variants, and most have lush colours. If you are modding the autumn setting of Skyrim many of them will be out of place and way too green to fit in. Feel free to change any texture to fit your mod better. If you are making your own tree you are welcome to use any of the textures included in this pack. I have included some additional textures as well.
As always, if you make something with these plants that you think looks really nice, please upload a picture, I love to see it :) And don't forget to endorse if you like this resource.

How to add objects in the Creation kit ======= Ztree's new models can be found in Meshes/ztree's/trees and Meshes/ztree's/plants. Re-textured vanilla and GKBs resources can be found under Meshes/landscape/trees and Meshes/landscape/plants. All objects in the Trees folders should be added as Trees in the Creation kit. The objects in the Plants folders should be added as Static objects.
Add the files to the correct folder under Skyrim folder. Open the Creation kit, and load the mod you wish to add the resources to. In the Object window, under WorldObjects you find the folders Static and Tree.
Add Static: * For plants go to Landscape/Plants, have an explorer window open (Skyrim/Meshes/landscape/plants), you can select the files in the explorer window and drag and drop to the Edi

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 1,150 endorsements—plenty of modders trust this pack.
- Solid download count (18,560) shows it's been widely used over the years.
- Combines fresh models with re-textures, giving you both new shapes and improved looks.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2015—may not be optimized for newer Skyrim versions or modding tools.
- As a resource pack, it's not plug-and-play for players; you need modding knowledge to use it.
For Skyrim modders who want ready-made plant and tree assets to drop into their own projects. If you're a player looking for a simple visual overhaul, this isn't for you—it's a toolkit, not a finished mod.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since this is a resource pack, you'll need to import the assets into your own mod using the Creation Kit—check tutorials on adding new meshes and textures.
- The pack includes both new models and re-textures, so decide which you want to use in your mod to avoid conflicts with vanilla assets.
- If you're using this in Skyrim Special Edition, you may need to convert the meshes with the SSE NIF Optimizer for compatibility.
