📋 About This Mod

Introduction
I noticed what some of popular pine bark retextures are not even conifers and decided to make my own. These textures made from my photos of spruces and pines which grows in Izmailovo forest in Moscow. 100% genuine look. You can see some of my photosources in image section. Screenshots displays 4K version and made with Silent Horizons ENB alongside vanilla lighting.

Compatibility

  • []Simply Bigger Trees. Fully compatible.

    []Skyrim Flora Overhaul. Officially not compatible. Advanced users can experiment, but some textures will not work properly.

    []Enhanced Vanilla Trees. Should be not compatible, but there are reports of them working together.

    • []Q: I'm still experiencing snow mismatch with my ground.

         A: Vanilla snow color was my guideline. Usually snow mods uses pretty same hue, but lighting not the same on ground and trees. And ENBs taking their part. Very difficult to make one texture compatible with so many different combinations.

    • []Q: You forgot to add normals for Dragonborn ashy pines!

         A: These trees uses normal maps from original game ones. There is a mismatch, but it's best way I can overhaul them.

    • []Q: Oldrim compatibility?

         A: No. BC7 is used.
