SSE VERSION NOW AVAILABLE THANKS TO THE AMAZING FOR WORK OF BLUBBODE
Compatibility:
– This mod is compatible with other tree and landscape mods IF you use TES5LODGen or DynDOLOD. If you plan to generate tree LOD then intsall the Core Files plus Billboards in the Main files section
– Whiterun has not been touched with new trees. Therefore, any mod that adds objects and trees to those ares is compatible with this mod. This mod is out of box compatible with The Great Forest of Whiterun Hold IF you use TES5LODGen or DynDOLOD.
– Interiors have not been touched so all city and town overhauls will be compatible. This mod does not add grass or shrubs so ALL grass mods are compatible.
– Disable any weird looking or floating trees with the command console . Mods that make major changes to landscapes or add objects to overhauled areas may cause issues, so please let me know if you have a tree growing inside your custom house or town mod.
Installation:
– Install only one main file.
– DynDOLOD and TES5LODGen users should install the Core Files plus Billboards Main File
– Skyrim Flora Overhaul users should install SFO first, then install the loose files version of FFO, then install the SFO patch and overwrite when asked.
– install the update file and overwrite AFTER installing one of the main files
