   if you're having a weird city textures popping around,
   that means you didn't install the lod file.
   
   as a start, clear any loose LOD file in your Data folder before install,
   if i recall correctly inside Material/Meshes/Textures folder. (move it to backup folder)
   then download the BNS LOD files if you use BNS,
   or download the non BNS LOD files if you use any other forest mod, (overwrite when prompt).
   and voila, it should work now. no more weird 2D city around.
   
   if it still didn't work, then you'll need to generate your own custom LOD i'm afraid.
   
   anyway, thank you napoleonofthestump for this mod.
   Endorsed it!

      Thank you for the clear instructions. Hopefully in future folks will read this (or the description or download pages) before coming to the comments section with this particular dilemma.

   Hello, I also had the pink tree issue. However, I found a great way to fix it without having to generate my own LODs.
   
   ...Roll back your version of BNS.
   
   Problem cleared right up. And still looks fantastic. And no need to bother with LODs.
   
   Cheers.

      Just adding that rolling back BNS to 2.0 (I have the BNS All DLC version) and the BNS LOD fix has resolved my pink trees.

   It's been six years and I'm still using Borealis as a base mod for my landscape textures.  I can't get rid of it.  Even tried CRP Overgrowth.  It doesn't compare to Borealis' land textures.
   
   I've combined it with Veldt, Rustbelt Flora, and Another Pine Forest, and I've created a beautiful autumn wasteland.
   
   Is there any plans for an updated version?

      Nice!  Eventually I'd like to return to it, yeah.  Update with full parallax, sub out some of the lower-res textures, make better mipmaps for the grass, take less saturated demo pics, etc.  Don't hold your breath, though.  Got at least two more retex project for FO4 in the works, and more stuff for Skyrim very slowly creeping down the pipeline.

   Oh my God, you're the guy that did Badlands?  That was an amazing mod that i absolutely loved!  Now i really need to install this Borealis.
   
   Any tips on other vegetation mods that mesh well with it (apart from those listed in the description, i mean)?
   
   I think i will settle on the BNS mod.  Do i need both the trees and landscape parts of that mod or only trees?

      Only trees.  Borealis has its own landscape textures.  Just make sure you generated an LOD or you're going to get pink textures and large buildings in the distance.

   Had a weird bug with BOREALIS - BNS LOD. They weren't pink, but they were all just really big wooden spikes coming out of the ground. Just trunks with no branches or leaves.

      From what I've read of other comments, BNS LOD doesn't work with the newer versions of BNS.

   Went with Borealis, True Grass and BNS 2.0, generated my own LOD just to be sure and the results are amazing.  Really like the moss on the roads too, it's a nice touch that i haven't seen other mods doing. 
   
   Thanks for the mod.
   
   *Edit*  Do i need to disable the ini file that comes with True Grass?

   Can anyone confirm that i will avoid those purple trees people keep mentioning as long as it is version 2.0 of BNS that i combine with Borealis?

       Thanks.  The road textures are part of BOREALIS.  Use different road textures from a different mod if you prefer.

    how do i install the BNS LOD? i'm trying to download the LOD to fix the pink trees but idk how, putting it in my mod manager doesnt fix it. i'm using an older version of BNS trees only from 2019.

    This makes me slow down and look around the world more, it's a really pretty landscape. Other people have already said this but just to help make sure it's seen, You need to install an older version of BNS Trees to avoid the pink errors in the LOD and then you can fully enjoy this beautiful mod :) I picked the green version uploaded in 2019 and so far I'm seeing no issues.
