📋 About This Mod
This mod hand places these new Aloe and Agave plants into the game.
It requires the "_ResourcePack.esl" file from the 1130 update!
With the recent Skyrim 1130 update, Bethesda provided us with some new assets in the "_ResourcePack.esl" file.
Some of those assets, were new Aloe Vera and Agave plants which I've made use of and as a result, an updated game with the "_ResourcePack.esl" file active is a hard requirement. No, that will not change.
Aloe Vera and Agave are typically found in warm and arid environments. The closest things we have in Skyrim are the Volcanic Tundra in Eastmarch and the Ash areas of Solstheim. So I decided to place Aloe Vera plants in close proximity to Creep Clusters, which naturally grow in both locations. (Perhaps they've developed a sort of symbiotic relationship). Additionally, Agave have been placed near steam cracks within Eastmarch only as though they're seeking out these thermal pockets.
The mod adds a total of 201 Aloe Vera plants (156 in Eastmarch, 45 in Solstheim), and 132 Agave plants (All in Eastmarch).
The fomod allows to install patches for further customization by allowing you to disable the additions in certain areas if desired.
This mod is ESL flagged and was made with latest CK, which means your game has to be updated to the current version as it also relies on the Resource Pack provided by Bethesda. I believe it will also work if you've downgraded and use Backported Extended ESL Support

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solid community backing with 246 endorsements and nearly 39k downloads
- Fills a niche by adding desert-appropriate plants to Skyrim's volcanic regions
- Lightweight and focused—does exactly what it says without bloat
⚠️ Cons
- Only two plant types, so it's a minor visual change rather than a major overhaul
- No mention of compatibility patches, so it might conflict with other flora mods that edit the same cells
- Last updated in May 2024—could be outdated if you're running the latest Skyrim version
For Skyrim players who want a bit more regional flavor in Eastmarch and Solstheim without overhauling the entire flora system. If you're a completionist who likes collecting aloe or agave for alchemy, this adds new harvestable plants. Skip if you're looking for a comprehensive flora expansion—this is a small, focused addition.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, just download and install—no special setup needed.
- Since this adds plants to specific worldspaces, it's best to load it after other flora mods to ensure your preferred versions win conflicts.
- If you're on Skyrim Special Edition or Anniversary Edition, make sure the mod is compatible with your game version—check the mod page for any updates.
