DESCRIPTION
I wanted to make trees in Skyrim bigger in the simplest, most compatible way possible. This mod makes all of the trees in Skyrim around 1. 5x-2. 0x larger, by scaling up all of the vanilla tree meshes. This is accomplished with absolutely zero cell edits, and no ESPs/ESMs, for maximum compatibility with other mods. It should be 100% compatible with all tree texture mods (that don't change the mesh), new lands, houses, etc!
There is a lot of diversity in the vanilla game tree size, which was hand-placed by the level designers, and this does not change that in any way. Relative sizes remain, they are just all 1. 5x - 2. 0x bigger. Some areas get pretty dense as a result, so be prepared to be enveloped by the forest and have wildlife sneak up on you before you can see them! Hunting in the Rift in the fog at dawn is now a legitimately scary and dangerous activity. Camping is BLISS.
Please be aware, any mod that uses vanilla tree assets will have larger trees as well. This is a side-effect of replacing the mesh, but is a pleasant one in every case I've tested for so far! No reports from users of clipping or blocking yet. You can easily click on a tree in the console and type setscale 0. 5 (or whatever size you wish) to shrink trees that are too big or are clipping.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING
"I want to start off by saying that, even though I endorse every mod I like and use a lot, I rarely ever comment. This mod, however, has improved my game by such a great margin that I felt obliged to do so... This mod improved my immersion far more than I initially expected..." -b6lph6gor6

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust with 23,883 endorsements and over 800k downloads
- Performance-friendly: no extra polygons means minimal FPS impact
- No ESP/ESM files, so it won't clutter your load order or cause conflicts
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2014, so it may not be compatible with newer Skyrim versions or mods
- Only changes tree size, not textures or variety, so it's a one-trick pony
- No custom meshes for DLC trees, so some areas might look inconsistent
For Skyrim players who want a subtle visual upgrade without sacrificing performance or dealing with complex mod setups. If you're a modder looking for a simple, compatible base to build on, this is a solid pick. Skip if you want dramatic tree overhauls or new tree types.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since there's no ESP, just drop the meshes folder into your Data directory and you're done.
- If you use a mod manager, you can install it like any other mod, but manual installation is just as easy.
- Check if you have other tree mods that also replace meshes; this one should be compatible, but load order might matter if they conflict.
