📋 About This Mod
Blackthorn is a really cool town mod, and a great money sink. The only downside is that it's in the Rift, which tends to be home for a lot of trees. Like...a LOT of trees. And I don't know about you, but I like trees, and I use a number of super awesome tree mods to enhance them.
Two of my personal favorites are Aspens Ablaze and Traverse the Ulvenwald.
Recently I had all three mods active, and noticed a number of trees were popping up through my Blackthorn buildings. Well, I certainly can't let that stand, so I went ahead and set it up so the trees get disabled as you construct the buildings they clip with. Ergo, there is no large area devoid of trees or anything - they only get disabled when you build your town. Best of both worlds!
Both patches are ESP flagged as ESL. Both patches can be used simultaneously or standalone.
This patch pack fixes tree clipping issues in Blackthorn by adjusting tree placement for compatibility with tree mods. With 84 endorsements and nearly 60k downloads, it's a community-tested solution for players using Blackthorn and tree overhauls. Last updated in July 2023.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Directly solves a common annoyance with Blackthorn builds
- Solid community trust (84 endorsements, 59k downloads)

⚠️ Cons
- Only addresses tree clipping, not other potential conflicts
- Last updated in 2023, may not support newer tree mods

For Skyrim modders who use Blackthorn and tree overhauls and are tired of branches poking through walls. If you don't use Blackthorn or tree mods, this patch is useless. Skip if you're looking for gameplay changes—this is purely a compatibility fix.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Install this after Blackthorn and your tree mod to ensure proper overwrite order.
- Use a mod manager to easily toggle the patch if you switch tree mods.
- Check the mod's posts for any known incompatibilities with specific tree mods.
