Lots of Green Grass or Vanilla Trees
If you find that you either start out with or suddenly have lots of green grass everywhere (and not just in random spots that Badlands 2 offers because the world has several biomes), it is most likely your mod order.

The Mods: Why I Use Them or What They Provide -- Details
