Simply Bigger Trees has a basic goal: Make all of the trees bigger, keep the look and feel of vanilla, retain compatibility with textures mods, and make Skyrim's forests worthy of their legend! This seemingly small change has MASSIVE atmospheric impact in-game.  This is specifically aimed at those who like the look and feel of the vanilla game, but just want things a bit more big and wild.

Seamless HD LOD is pre-generated and included, for an "install-and-go" experience.

All vanilla tree meshes and their collision are resized, and animations adjusted, which has such a dramatic effect on the game that entire portions of the map become nearly unrecognizable (in the best way.) Dense canopies of branches envelop you through Falkreath as you hunt wild creatures. The Rift is more magical and lush than ever before. For those who play as a hunter, or simply enjoy the nature of Skyrim, this is a must! It is actually possible to get lost in the forests, and camping under the branches has never felt so good and ~ IMMERSIVE ~.

• All vanilla trees, collision, culling bounds have been resized to 1. 8x their original size for dense, lush forests that are easy to get lost in

• Vanilla trees in SE are more lush than they were in classic, so they look better than ever.

• Tree branch / swaying animations have been slowed down to half their speed to more realistically match the larger size

• Full scaled LODs now packaged with the mod, including high-definition LOD textures, making transitions almost indistinguishable (thanks PaleRiderx!)

• A plug-in to adjust the few stray trees that were protruding through cliifs and such as a result of being larger (thanks solangel777!)

• Realistic Aspen Trees compatibility (including full LOD)

• Works with ALL vanilla tree re-textures

• UPDATE: Vurt of SFO fame was gracious enough to let me include new textures based on his pine and snow pine textures from SFO v1. 87.  I have made some tweaks and alterations, and new normals.  These are included in the OPTIONAL FILES, and you can see them in the IMAGES section.  Thank you, Vurt!  These are more "fluffy" and fuller looking than vanilla, and comes down to preference.

• Choose vanilla or Realistic Aspen Trees version (only one), and install using NMM, or manually

• OPTIONAL: Vurt of Skyrim Flora Overhaul fame has let me use some of his pine and snowy pine textures as a base for a new set of textures.  You can grab these in the optional files, and there are screenshots in the images section.  They're "fluffier" so it comes down to preferen
