📋 About This Mod

This mod is no longer supported

This mod alters the textures of the aspen trees to a more realistic look with more diverse colors. I never liked the monotony of the aspen trees. This mod changes the colors to yellow, orange and red. Fully compatible with Skyrim Flora Overhaul. Since this mod alters the tree meshes it's not compatible with mods, which do the same. 2k textures are recommended for good performance, but also sharp looking leaf textures.

  • []HD leaf textures (available texture sizes: 2k and 4k). You can choose the texture resolution while installation. 

    []HD Tree LOD for SFO (4096x2048 px) and Vanilla Skyrim (2048x2048 px)

    Tree LOD billboards are included for those of you that want to use DynDOLOD or SSELodGen.

    LodGen meshes for 3D Tree LOD are included into DynDOLOD.

    Download the main file with NMM or manually and install with a mod manager. The installer contains 2k and 4k options, Tree LOD for vanilla and Skyrim Flora Overhaul and also Tree billboard files for LOD Generation.
