Branch animations (thanks to MrNeverLost for doing these!)
Better leaf animations
Better normal maps
2 more placements on the map
New pine needle texture
Some tweaks and Improvements to the mesh and textures
Want less trees, better performance, or is a tree in the wrong location - interfering with a mod etc.?
Then go in to the console, click the tree, enter disable. This will remove the tree from that location. Save your game afterwards. This can be used on everything except for grasses/ground flora. This is also useful when you want to take that epic screenshot, but something is ruining the view for you ;)
Don't like the scale?
Go into the console, click the tree, enter setscale 0. 8 (or similar values), this will change the scale of the 3D mesh (but not the scale of the collsion box). Default scale is 1. Save the game afterwards.
