📋 About This Mod
The Scandinavian Forests is a project that aim to change the trees models of Skyrim adding more quality and a realistic look.
In addiction it will add also other trees that are part of the flora in the Scandinavian region or nordic european countries, but i am sure some of these trees are present in other part of the world.
The big part of these models have been recreated from zero using 3Dprograms other trees are part of other mods ( with permissions from authors ) and integrated in one unique mod to add more variety.
Over 6500 Trees on ground with unique and high quality branches,foliages and trunks.
This is a small update, i've been listening of many of you about some trees leaves a bit too strong, my mistake in the release version was that i didn't test it with a not saturated ENB and not vivid as the one i have been using, this unfortunatly led me to think that colors were popping cause of the ENB in use and not cause of the textures.
Anyway Version 1. 1 from Sorin and the small update i added today should fix this problem!
i have added also new screenshots to show the new colors and correction with lighter but not oversaturated ENB
