📋 About This Mod
DARKER GENERIC TREES AND BUSHES
Just a very simple recolor of the generic common trees and bushes to be darker and more vibrant. Inspired by the foliage style of RDR2.
A very simple retexture. Only diffuse. 2k res and upscaled. LOD billboards included.
Made for personal use but I thought I'd share. I personally don't like how the vanilla foliage is almost all of the same color. It all sorta blends together. I basically wanted some more contrast and variation in the foliage.
I recommend pairing this with my other foliage mods.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 768 endorsements and 93k downloads
- Gives the world a darker, more grounded feel like RDR2
- Lightweight and easy to install—just drop-in files
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2021—may not work with the latest game patch
- Only affects the most common tree and bush, so other foliage remains vanilla
- No screenshots or detailed description, so you're flying blind on the exact look
For Witcher 3 players who want a subtle visual shift toward a grittier, RDR2-inspired atmosphere without overhauling the whole game. If you're after a complete foliage retexture, this won't cover everything—but if you just want the iconic trees and bushes darkened, it's a quick win.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Drop the files into your Witcher 3 mods folder (e.g., .../The Witcher 3/mods) and make sure the folder name matches the mod's structure.
- If you use a mod manager like Vortex, enable the mod and check for conflicts with other foliage mods.
- Since it's a simple recolor, you can easily remove it by deleting the mod folder if you don't like the look.
