A new update has arrived. Fickji suggested replacing the trees within Snowy climates with a more suitable texture, and thats exactly what I have done! This can be found within the Files section.
More is to come in the future, and thank you for the current support. Stay tuned for more Sexy Skyrim mods!
Hello everyone, and I hope your all enjoying your vivid trees!
Currently I am planning on releasing an update for this mod. I'm not sure how long its going to take, but it won't be any longer than a matter of days. Here are the features that I am expecting to introduce in the next update:
-A variety of Bark choices for the player to choose from; as I understand the "Mahogany" tree texture isn't to everyones liking.
-Alteration of the LOD textures
-Alterations to more of the tree textures.
Thank you, and stay tuned for more in the Sexy Skyrim series!
That's it. That's what it looks like to me as well, but as I have said before I like were your going with this. Also, I have decided to endorse now even though I am not using your tree textures yet. Why, because I did decide to use your firewood texture. I like it; kind of looks like red cedar wood and matches the rich red wood textures that horrorview uses In his town mods. Also, I like the idea of more vivid looking trees. Please continue, looking forward to seeing what you come up with.
OK, I just tried to endorse as I said I would but cannot. I downloaded the file yesterday and sometimes it takes a while before it will allow you to Endorse. However, it has been well over 24 hours know. I had this problem once before, lasted months and suddenly the problem seem to resolve on it's own. Now the problems back and does not appear to be connected to your page as I am having problems endorsing anyone at this time. As soon as I can I will endorse you
Ok I was wrong about not being able to endorse anyone. I can endorse mods I downloaded months ago but nothing recent. Anybody know how long the timer is before you can endorse? I thought it was like 24 hours.
OK I tried to endorse you again. Says I did not download... I will try downloading another way (using mod organizer, perhaps that's the problem) maybe manual download will "qualify" as a download.
I like were your going with this. However, the texture of the tree bark is not for me. From a distance, it looks great but once you get close it does not look like tree bark IMO. I like your idea that you might offer people a choice in bark textures; as you will never make everyone happy with one type especially as unique as this is. Additionally, you know there are a lot of aspen foliage choices available form all the mods out there. You would have to get permission from the other mod authors but I would love to see them combined with choices in a FOMOD Installer Just an idea as your kind of going that direction. For my own personal use I use Realistic Aspen Trees http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/51069/? as the base mod for distributing other Aspen foliage mod textures. You can find details about that at the Realistic Aspen Trees and at Aspens to Cherry Blossoms http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/29398/? in the Post Section. Again, I like were your going with this and I will be keeping my eye on this mod. I hope to be able to include your mod it in my next build in 6 months or so if it has improved by then. Keep up the good work
Glad you put so much effort into providing me with some constructive criticism; I like it!
I think that producing some optional tree textures for people to choose from is my main priority, as I can see that perhaps this tree texture wasn't the best!
By the time you have got round to making your new built, I would have created and improved on the entire Sexy Skyrim series, so I hope your looking forward to that also!
Thank you for the feedback, and yours along with everyone elses feedback will be taken into consideration when it comes to adding new features.
Oh, are you also horrorview? as I thought he did the whole Sexy "insert town" thing. I love them; been using them combined with a few other town mods for awhile now. Cant live without them. That would explain why I like the color and texture of your tree bark, just not on trees
BTW have you given any thought to LOD's? I can tell you that if you are successful and produce new tree textures, then people are going to want LOD's that match anyway, so you may as well have a game plan for that. Also, LOD compatibility with Bigger trees and/or Simply Bigger Trees would give you a leg up on everybody because as far as I know, there is no LOD's for Bigger trees. What I mean is that it is really annoying having trees suddenly get larger as you get closer as if they popped up out of the grown. If you made your tree textures work with SFO, Realistic Aspen Trees, and Bigger trees with Bigger LOD's that match all, you my friend would be a MOD GOD. IMO i would not worry about Bigger trees, that mod has to many compatibility problems... I think most people have switch over to the less problematic solution that Simply Bigger Trees uses.
Oh, BTW you do know this opens the whole can of worms for you. Have Fun
I actually took a look into changing the LOD textures; but never actually got round to altering them. Will definetly be releasing an update for this mod as I believe it needs a few changes, and adding better LOD textures would definetly be benificial!
Im opening this can of works and making the most of it!
i like the actual tree parts but not the bark. but i dont want to see this tree everywhere just make it larger and only pop up every so often then it would be better. and plus the community has a new tree model.
I'm contemplating making different versions which allow the user to choose from multiple choices of wood, as I understand that mahogany tree textures aren't too everyones taste.
In response to opera4evers' suggestion: OH god. LOD nightmare in the works.. The only thing worse the trees that suddenly get bigger as you approach are entire trees that pop up out of thin air. Especially, big bright red ones. Be careful going down that path my friend. Did I mention that can of worms? Hand placed trees will be a problem ask the author of bigger trees. There is a reason Simply Bigger Trees exists. I do like the idea of being able to chose the textures during installation. Just keep in mind how many mods are already out there that add stuff that are not in the LOD's. Windmills, different water falls, larger trees, now different color trees; I hope someone could come up with an LOD FOMOD as well that ask's you what mods you have and installs a matching LOD. That would be genius. If you chose not to do that at least avoid making the problem worse please.

Like the rich wood textures though. Keep up the good work. Can't wait to see the more variety ones.
Working on the update now; so hope for the best!
