📋 About This Mod
Caribou Gone is a fantastic mod. Unfortunately, it overwrites the distant tree LOD for the vanilla trees, reverting the SFO lod for those. I had created this for myself as soon as Caribou Gone came out, and updated it as updates to SFO came out. I've now decided to share this with the community for your convenience.
This also includes tree LOD from AceeQ's excellent "Realistic Aspen Trees" , so do yourself a favour and grab that one as well. SFO actually used to feature diverse aspen colors, but this changed in one of the latest version. I consider this mod a very welcome addition to SFO, I liked the increased diversity.
Tree LOD from Vurt's Heavy Snowy Pines latest version is also included.
Enjoy, and please remember to endorse the original authors' mods!
INSTALL NOTES:

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solves a real headache—no more tree LOD pop-in or mismatched distant trees when using these mods together
- Decent community trust with 206 endorsements and over 4,300 downloads
- Lightweight and focused—does exactly what it says without bloat
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2014—might not play nice with newer Skyrim versions or mods
