✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Lightweight and safe: no ESP, no scripts, no landscape edits—just an ini file that BOS reads.
- Adds a functional alchemy ingredient, so it's not just cosmetic—you get a gameplay benefit.
- Community-approved with 124 endorsements and over 8.5k downloads, showing it works well for many players.
⚠️ Cons
- Incompatible with mods that remove or rename branch pile meshes, so you need to check your load order for conflicts.
- The visual impact is limited to a specific area (Morthal swamp), so it won't change the whole world.
- Requires Base Object Swapper as a dependency, which adds an extra mod to your setup if you don't already have it.
For Skyrim players who want to spice up the Morthal swamp with a subtle, lore-friendly change that also gives you a new alchemy ingredient. It's perfect for modders who prefer lightweight, script-free mods that don't bloat their save. Skip if you're looking for major overhauls or if you're not interested in the Morthal area.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have Base Object Swapper installed and enabled before adding this mod, or the branch piles won't be replaced.
- If you use a mod manager, install this mod like any other; it's just an ini file, so it won't affect your load order.
- To see the ENB glow effect, install the recommended '3W's - More lights for ENB SE - Mania tileset' mod and enable ENB.
