📋 About This Mod
Introduction
I was reluctant to make this mod, but autumn is came and I decided to give it a try. I applied couple of GIMP filters on vanilla branches to make them looking more realistic and bumpy. After that I attached real Aspen leaves to them. I wanted to add slightly more diversity in colors than in vanilla branches.
You can see some of my photosources in image section. Screenshots displays 4K version and made with Silent Horizons ENB alongside vanilla lighting.
Compatibility
Compatible with any other mod that uses vanilla Aspen branches textures. Read your tree mod description to figure this out. This mod is not compatible with Realistic Aspen Trees in any way.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Photorealistic leaves that make aspen trees pop in-game
- Multiple resolution options (2K/4K/8K) to fit your rig
- Solid community backing with 437 endorsements
⚠️ Cons
- Only covers aspen branches—other tree types remain untouched
- 8K textures could hit performance on lower-end systems
- Compatibility risk with other tree overhaul mods that modify the same meshes
For Skyrim players who want more realistic aspen trees without overhauling the entire landscape. Perfect for screenshot enthusiasts and modders building a photorealistic setup. Skip if you're looking for a full tree overhaul or play on a potato—8K is overkill for most.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Pick the 2K version if you're on a mid-range GPU—8K is for high-end rigs and 4K screens.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to easily switch between resolution variants.
- If you use other tree mods, load Aspen Branches Redone after them to ensure its textures take priority.
