Do I need both Main Files?
No, only one. LITE or WOODLAND (see below).

What is the LITE VERSION ?v2.3
The LITE VERSION is recommended if you don't use DynDOLOD, this version does not
have the woodland added outside whiterun but does have Full-LOD applied to the few exposed trees.

Trees are scattered more openly so the pop in/out effect has been minimised.

What is the WOODLAND VERSION ?v2.3
The
WOODLAND VERSION has a woodland area added just outside Whiterun.
The Trees have no LOD in this version (see below for more info about LOD).
This version has noticeable tree pop in/out due to larger areas of exposed trees.
This version is suitable for DynDOLOD users who wish to make Billboard LODs.
It's a matter of personal preference for the non DynDOLOD users if you download this version.

Level Of Detail (LOD) -
Level of detail is when a high quality object is swapped to a lower quality object at a distance to keep performance high.
Trees will Pop in (or out) of view at a distance. This is not a bug, but a feature to maintain fps & performance.
The pop in/out is reduced if you run the game at 7 ugrids (recommended) or higher.
A texture resource is available for DynDOLOD users interested in making Billboard LODs for the Woodland Version.


Optional Files:
  • Performance Tree Textures, half the resolution of the main file. Up to 1k resolution.
  • No Bushes Patch, want no bushes? load this after your main file and it will remove the Bushes.
  • Bushes with Flowers, a simple bush texture replacer. Draws white flowers on the Bushes.
What resolution is the main file?
Up to 2k resolution.

My tree leaves only move sometimes, why? -
Skyrim will stop the leaves moving if the games framerate drops below a certain level (usually 30fps).
It's the games way of making sure your frame rate remains playable.
This is not a bug but a feature.

Conflicts & Bugs:
  • May conflict with other placed tree mods, depends on the tree placement.
  • No known pathfinding conflicts

Note: There are currently no further plans to update this mod
