📋 About This Mod

✅ (Jonigts).
✅ Xweto quit modding for a while, so I (Jonigts) got permission from him to continue the development of this mod.
✅ My main goal now is to fix everything to make this mod work just fine (and also work together with as mods as possible).
✅ TI changed the version numbers, for example from 11. 4 to 1. 4

Ever looked at the trees in skyrim... they're so small (especially near Riften).

If you agree with me

THEN THIS IS THE MOD FOR YOU!!!

READ BEFORE YOU GO FORWARD:

  • If you have any questions or problems, read the FAQ down below first, before contacting me (Jonigts).

  • Xweto quit modding for a while, so I (Jonigts) got permission from him to continue the development of this mod.
  • Xweto did a really great job. He resized a lot of trees, but some of them were too big (specially with SFO), and he didn´t care much about compatibility with other mods, overlapping trees and covered roads.
  • My main goal now is to fix everything to make this mod work just fine (and also work together with as mods as possible).
  • TI changed the version numbers, for example from 11. 4 to 1. 4

Version 1. 65 is up.

  • The BSA version is not working properly and I dont know why. Anybody? (I know, without Mod Organizer, etc.. have to be the same name as the ESP, but still not working).
  • Merged the ESP for the Bigger- and Smaller Full tamriel versions.
  • I made new LOD-s for SFO, but also left the ones from the Treefix mod (by Laacis2) for those, who prefer that.
  • Few tree fixes

Version 1. 6 is up. The Bigger Version is revisited in every area, see for yourself.

Everybody (~200 people), who already downloaded the 1. 6, please re-download it, since I forget a mesh folder from the "SkyrimBT Lite" folder. There for SBT lite (without riften) doesn't have correct LOD-s. Sorry for that, and download it again, it has been corrected (thanks to kopasov for mentioning this for me).

Description:

This Mod changes the size of the trees for a more Fantasy Forest (but still realistic) like feeling for Skyrim.

There are Two different version: The original with huge trees, and one with smaller trees (but still taller than Vanilla). This mod edits a lot of Trees, so some of them are made bigger, especially in bigger forests with smaller trees on the edges of the forests. A Lot of trees haven't even been touched, since there are also size variations in real life. A Lot of trees around roads have been downs

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Since the mod is from 2014, check if your Skyrim version is compatible; if not, look for patches or use a mod manager to handle conflicts.
  • Use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to easily enable/disable and avoid overwriting other tree mods.
  • Test near Riften first to see the size change — if it's too big, you might need to adjust with other mods or ini settings.
