📋 About This Mod
My personal trees LOD for an awesome SSBT plugin by fadingsignal. Decided to upload it because SSBT doesn't have a proper LOD yet. Generated for vanilla Skyrim game using SSBT only, don't try to mix with other tree changing mods like SFO. Also added dead reach trees LOD as a bonus which is missing in vanilla game.
