📋 About This Mod
Most of the HLT pine trees look very dark for me, but other trees look fine. I fixed this problem for myself and shared it with you. I made two versions: Lighter Pines and Even Lighter Pines, see the difference in the screenshots.
This mod contains modified textures from the wonderful Happy Little Trees mod. Only the "summer" pines have been redone, the snowy pines are not affected. Changes are made for all 4 types of snowy pines from HLT, because "summer" and snowy pines textures are in one file.
Compatible with Happy Little Trees Add-On - DynDOLOD 3, both with Quality and Performance version.
All credits go to the creator of HLT - T4gtr34um3r.
Installation:
- Just follow the installer's instructions.

It's a simple cosmetic tweak for Skyrim modders using HLT, compatible with the DynDOLOD 3 add-on. With 176 endorsements and 31k downloads, it's a niche but appreciated texture option.

For Skyrim modders who use Happy Little Trees and want a brighter, lighter look for summer pines without touching snowy ones. If you're after a full pine overhaul or don't use HLT, skip this.
💡 Beginner Tips
