About this mod
A comprehensive fantasy style overhaul for Skyrim featuring dead and living trees with new forested areas. Updated 5/14/19 performance versions now available with lower size textures

This mod is a comprehensive, dark fantasy style, landscape overhaul for Skyrim. The landscape will look VERY different and this mod will breathe new life to your game.
Mod Details:
DFOS features include over 4000 hand placed flora (trees, shrubs, mushrooms, etc). Now featuring Mathy79's 3-D trees
The models used in this mod are resources from the Nexus. Some were altered in nifskope to create some variety among the dead tree models available.
See the bottom of the page for the authors of some great resources used to make this mod. Please consider donating to these amazing and talented artists.
There are two versions of this mod:
the regular version does NOT change vanilla trees and is therefore compatible with Skyrim Flora Overhaul, Enhanced Vanilla Trees, and any other mod that changes vanilla trees.
The FULL version changes vanilla trees to 3D trees in addition to adding new trees and forests. (NOTE: the full version incorporates my other mod All Dead Trees)
Compatibility:
ALL DLCs required!!
This mod adds thousands of hand placed trees and flora to Skyrim, and its impossible to make this compatible with every single player home or other mod which adds static objects. if you have a tree growing through your house or town, please just delete it with the command console
Technically any tree or landscape overhaul with be compatible with Dark Forests if those overhauls have billboards and that you use either program above to generate LOD. If the mods you are combining with DFOS add objects or trees you may have some clipping, that can remedied with the 'disable' feature in the command console. I use mods like Great Forest of Whiterun Hold with minimal issues.
If you want to mix and match landscape or tree overhauls you will need to generate tree LOD using DynDOLOD or TES5LODGen.
Installation:
Install ONLY ONE MAIN file:
FULL Version changes vanilla trees, normal version does not.
Core Files plus Billboards require DynDOLOD or TES5LODGen.
Performance versions for each regular and FULL version of DFOS are in the optional files section. Install a main file first, then overwrite with performance textures should you desire them
The Old version with 2D tree models is still available in the old files section. This version is no longer supported
