📋 About This Mod
3D Trees and Plants by mathy79 is a wonderful landscape/trees/plants mod which I personally use and recommend for a "touch of fantasy" in Skyrim.
However, if you wish to replace some of its plants, you might get into a problem, because it has its own meshes (hence its "3D" feature), and a unique folder structure which is packed into BSAs - so retextures will not work out of the box. And other modders' retextures are usually only textures which will fit only on vanilla meshes.
These patches/replacements are my attempt at having an option to implement other modders' works on top of Skyrim 3D Trees and Plants.
If you wish to patch the snow on Skyrim 3D Trees, read the article.
Within mesh patches, I also covered planter models and ingredients, so the patch could be complete and 3D's meshes don't interfere.

Updates:
- I made a recolor of 3D's Bleeding Crown and White Cap. 3D's models of these shrooms are lovely, but the colors seemed a little off. White Cap isn't really white in my opinion (more like yellow-brownish), and Bleeding Crown is too white (needs more bloodiness). Miscellaneous files. Refer to images.
- I added Nightshade meshes so you can use any kind of retexture that applies to vanilla Nightshade mesh (e.g. Mari's or Neurotic).
This integration replaces mountain flowers from 3D Trees and Plants with models and textures from Cathedral 3D Mountain Flowers. Yellow mountain flower included (Dawnguard DLC), plus Purple mountain flower planter model.
There is a version without plugin(s) - only meshes and textures, but without Snowy versions of mountain flowers.
The other version (FOMOD) contains Snowy flowers and therefore has the original mod's plugin, which is adjusted to work with Skyrim 3D Trees and Plants. Contains additional patches for Convenient Carriages, Landscape and Water Fixes, JKs Skyrim and Cutting Room Floor. All plugins are ESL flagged.
The patches are standalone, which means they don't need the original mod to work, only Skyrim 3D Trees and Plants mod.
