📋 About This Mod

Vision for Butterflies Land True

There is one mod I did not want to create, and there was one mod I absolutely had to have. The butterflies of Skyrim are one of the most pleasing aspects of the ambiance, as well as the most immersion breaking aspect in the game, at least for myself. I really wanted them to land where they should. It has always drove me nuts running past a hovering butterfly that's 3 feet higher than the plant it's supposed to be perching on. I really wanted someone else to create this mod, as I knew what it would entail, but the work is now done, at long last, and I can move on with the most well-behaved butterflies in Skyrim.

Mod does the following:

Works to fix all Butterfly Landing Zones in Skyrim by the following two methods:

1 - All direct landing zones have been reviewed, adjusted, and fine-tuned for optimal placement. If the landing zone was close to perfect and in a good perch location, it was rotated (almost none of the landing zones had rotation/directional data, with 99% pointing the same direction) and fine-tuned. If the landing zone was clipping into something, shoved into the middle of a plant, or hovering in the air, it was adjusted to the closest viable landing area for placement, then rotated and fine-tuned.

2 - All indirect landing zones have been reviewed by observing the behavior of the butterflies, how they interact with the plants, and then the worst offenders have been stricken from the available landing zone list. This form list is a list of plant types that Butterflies can land on, with different variable landing zones on these plants. Sometimes the butterflies get close, sometimes not. Sometimes not at all. If you see a Butterfly hovering close to a plant, but not on it, it is likely due to the variable nature of the remaining indirect landing zone list plants.

Important Note: BLT was built initially with the USSEP as a Master File, so all landing zone adjustments would be in perfect harmony with any and all changes the USSEP makes. The Master File requirement was removed after completion, as it was not necessary other than for aligning all landing zones with the USSEP. BLT will work best when used with the USSEP. If you do not use the USSEP, BLT will still work just fine, and will still provide a huge improvement over vanilla landing zones.

Mod does not:

1 - Add anything new, nor remove anything existing.

2 - Modify anything other than the direct landing zone placements, and the indi
