📋 About This Mod

This mod is made with assets from T4GTR34UM3R's Happy Little Trees, my idea is to make some tree saplings that match the trees from Happy Little Trees. The mod replaces all vanilla pineshrubs and fallforestshrubs, including ash and snow variants.

This mod is mesh only and requires textures from Happy Little Trees to work.

The plugin is to make all related plants vertical so they won't be pointing to all directions, there's also a txt file that makes TexGen generate billboard textures for these plants when you run DynDOLOD.

Now supports Seasons of Skyrim, but not tested.
