📋 About This Mod
"This mod was made from Ro's Great Forest of Whiterun Hold. It is somewhere in between Forest Borealis which provides a much colder aesthetic, and Ro's Forest which appears as a lush, rainy forest. I created this mod to have inherent compatibility with every mod I could find that edits the area (even mods only available for Oldrim). Additionally, I removed all the added clutter (ie bushes, spriggans) keeping only the trees. As a final result, this tundra forest shouldn't be any more performance intensive than Falkreath Hold or the Rift."
