📋 About This Mod

  • []Fabled Forests fills the world with 45,000 tree alterations and placements from the combined placements of the amazing mods Traverse the Ulvenwald and Nature of the Wild Lands. No region is left untouched (except some of the tundra)!

    []It replaces all trees in game with assets from Happy Little Trees, except they're moody teenagers now.

    []The installer comes your choice of 2 performance variants: 2K and 1K textures.

    []The trees have random size distribution, with your pick of the following three mod flavours:

Fabled Forests (Author's Choice)

Tall, lush, dense forests to get lost in. The sunlight shines through the canopies creating magnificent rays of light.

Fabled Forests of Mythic Proportions

Even taller, more lush forests that block the sun and create an inescapable labyrinth. Keep your sword and torch handy!

Fabled Forests of Vanilla Proportions

 All the tree placements, but with sizes closer to vanilla. For those who prefer a more classic feel.




  • []Alternate Snowy Pine Textures from Happy Little Trees.

    []Seasons of Skyrim support with assets from Turn of the Seasons.

    []Alternate Autumn Leaves from Aspens Ablaze.

    []Quality 3D LOD Assets from Happy Little Trees Add-On - DynDOLOD 3.

    []Revolutionary Universal Compatibility Selector that will make this mod compatible with the vast majority of mods!

(Thanks to AkilTheAwesome for the excellent idea)

  • []Fully compatible with tree texture packs that are compatible with Happy Little Trees.

    []I will not support compatibility with mods that that add or modify vanilla trees.

    []Out of the box, esp-less, compatibility with the following popular mods:

    [*]Alternate Start, Ancient Lands, Auri Song of the Green, Carriage and Ferry Travel Overhaul, Convenient Carriages, Cities of the North Falkreath, Great City of Falkreath, Great City of Solitude, Immersive Citizen, JK's Skyrim, JK's Whiterun Outskirts, Mirele Bismath Reborn, Northern Roads, Pilgrim, Redbag's Falkreath, Redbag's Morthal, Ryn's Standing Stones, Ryn's Whiterun C
