📋 About This Mod
This is a texture replacement for Vanilla, SMIM, and 3D Junipers - Tree and Berries and any other meshes that use the vanilla path for juniper. Perhaps it's not the best re-texture available, but it's better than vanilla.
Textures were obtained from images I took of a juniper tree growing in my yard.
Installation
-
[]Download desired texture size (available in 2k and 4k)
[
]Install with your mod manager of choice - Make sure the textures from this file overwrite any other mods that replace the same texture
If you look closely enough, you will see seams on the trunk if using this texture with SMIM. The seams are also visible using SMIM's texture. It has to do with how the texture is mapped to the mesh.
Version Notes
Version 1. 02 adds a berry recolor option for the 3D Junipers - Trees and Berries.
Version 1. 01 is less saturated than version 1. 0, and I did a better job at removing the white backdrop from the texture. Version 1. 01 is a bit closer to vanilla coloring (it's still got a bit more color to it than vanilla).
Version 1. 0 is available in the Old Files section of the Files tab, if you prefer that version.
As of version 1. 01, I have also provided uncompressed PNG images so users that wish to adjust the colors themselves without re-compressing have an uncompressed resource available.

✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 320 endorsements and nearly 400k downloads.
- Works with vanilla, SMIM, and 3D Junipers, so it fits into most setups.
- Lightweight texture mod that won't impact performance.
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects juniper textures—if you're looking for broader visual overhauls, this is too niche.
- No before/after screenshots or detailed previews in the description, so you're trusting the author's word.
- Requires SMIM or 3D Junipers to get the full effect; vanilla-only users might see less improvement.
For Skyrim players who want a quick, low-risk visual upgrade to juniper plants without overhauling the entire game. Perfect for those already using SMIM or 3D Junipers. Skip if you're after major graphical changes or don't care about plant textures.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, install this mod and let it overwrite any conflicting textures.
- Make sure to load this mod after SMIM or 3D Junipers in your load order to ensure the textures apply correctly.
- Check the mod's file structure to see if it includes optional files for different setups—sometimes you need to pick the right version for your mods.
