📋 About This Mod

Attention!!  Please READ!!

UPDATE ON ME.... With a very heavy heart I am no longer able to do any more modding.  I lost total vision in one eye as you may have known and am now loosing it in the other eye.  I am at the point I have to use text to speech programs to read things.  I HATE IT.  I am very sorry for those who are looking forward to further work and updates but it is not possible any more.  I had a blast making mods and it was a a very rewarding experience.  I will continue to keep my mods available for use.  As for the Mods I have PORTED, any further work and updates will have to be by the Original Author if they with to do so.  If there is anyone who would like to take the reins of my work and continue to further what my Dream was for the Dark Skyrim Overhaul series, please contact me for further information.  Love you guys and please continue Have Fun and Game on.

Thanks and regards

Dark Forests of Skyrim SE

Wyrmstooth Edition

By the Creator mobiusbelmont

Thank you for giving me permission to port this mod.

Go check out and ENDORSE the original Mod For Skyrim LE.

Optimized the meshes and Changed to Form 44 for Skyrim SE and ported by me.

My Permission.

Wyrmstooth is still one of my all-time favorite new lands mods for Skyrim, and this is my landscape overhaul for the island.   It's more realistic than my other overhauls and will give the island a Nordic atmosphere (IMO anyway).

DESCRIPTION:

This is a STANDALONE overhaul for the island of Wyrmstooth.  This DOES NOT require Dark Forest of Skyrim but it is Recommended.  This mod will not change any vanilla assets.

This mod will add new forested areas including:

Dead aspens, dead pines, and more flora added to the hot springs.

A coastal redwood forest

Dozens of dead, petrified trees added to the marsh

Living pines, both regular and snowy, added to the island

A Finnish aspen forest

COMPATIBILITY:

Should be compatible with everything, including all mods for Wyrmstooth.  If there is some clipping, just delete with console.  The landscape changes for 1. 17b do cause a few floating trees but I will get those fixed in the next update.

INSTALLATION:

First Download and Install

Install ONLY ONE MAIN file!!!

REMINDER for SSELODGen users :  If you want to combine other landscape or tree overhauls, then you must have billboards for the corresponding mods.  Make sure to install the vanilla billb

🤖 AI-enhanced — based on mod data

Dark Forest of Skyrim SE - Wyrmstooth is a standalone landscape overhaul for the Wyrmstooth island, adding dead aspens, pines, a coastal redwood forest, and petrified trees to the marsh. It does not require the base Dark Forest mod but is recommended. The author has retired from modding due to vision loss, so no further updates are expected.

✨ Key Features

Standalone overhaul for the Wyrmstooth island, no vanilla assets changed
Adds dead aspens, dead pines, and more flora to the hot springs
Adds a coastal redwood forest
Adds dozens of dead, petrified trees to the marsh
Optimized meshes and converted to Form 44 for Skyrim SE
Ported from the original mod by mobiusbelmont with permission

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Community-approved with 430 endorsements and nearly 9.4k downloads
  • Adds a Nordic atmosphere to Wyrmstooth, making the island feel more immersive
  • Standalone means you don't need the full Dark Forest mod, but it's recommended for consistency

⚠️ Cons

  • Author has retired from modding due to vision loss, so no future updates or fixes are coming
  • Ported mod may have lingering issues from the original that won't be addressed
  • Compatibility with other Wyrmstooth overhauls or mods that edit the same areas is a risk
🎯 Is This For You?
For Skyrim SE players who love Wyrmstooth and want a more forested, Nordic feel without changing vanilla areas. If you're a completionist looking to enhance every corner of that island, this is a solid pick. Skip if you want gameplay changes—this is purely environmental.
📦 Install:Easy· Under 1 minute

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Since this is a standalone mod, you can install it without Dark Forest of Skyrim, but grabbing the base mod will keep the visual style consistent across the mainland.
  • Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to avoid overwriting files and to easily disable if you encounter conflicts.
  • Check the original mod page for any patches or compatibility notes, as this port may not include them.
