📋 About This Mod
Updated for NotW 3. 12 and above.
Resources for generating 3D hybrid LOD with DynDOLOD 3 Alpha. Resources for 299 trees included in total; ones which are not already covered by the main page. Some of the smaller shrubs and saplings were skipped for performance reasons. Supports seasons.
Additionally includes an optional regions addon for expanding the NotW tree diversity in Haafingar and Eastmarch regions. Haafingar now has more spruce trees, along with other species in the mix and Eastmarch has more broadleaf trees, such as oaks and elms.
I re-opened the comments here, because some of you were bothering the original author on his page about these, sigh.
For guides on how to generate 3D LOD with DynDOLOD 3 Alpha, refer to official DynDOLOD documentation or other guides like STEP or Animonculory. For help with using DynDOLOD, refer to official DynDOLOD support forum.

For Skyrim modders who already run Nature of the Wild Lands and want better distant tree visuals without a massive performance hit. If you're a completionist chasing the best graphics, this is a no-brainer. Skip if you don't use NotW or prefer simpler 2D LODs.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have Nature of the Wild Lands installed first, then drop this addon in your mod manager and let it overwrite the base LODs.
- Use a mod manager like MO2 or Vortex to handle the file structure — manual install can get messy with LOD resources.
- Run DynDOLOD after installing to generate proper LODs for your load order, otherwise you might see pop-in.
