About this mod

This Mod aims to enhance Skyrim's landscape by providing Ultra Trees meshes for different Tree Mods. DynDOLOD and the respective tree mods are required if you wish to use them.

Description:

Being a user of the Skyrim Flora Overhaul for a long time and an avid user of DynDOLOD, I first handcrafted matching Billboards to perfectly match the trees of my Skyrim mod setup. When I first read about the possibility to use so called Hybrid Trees I got intrigued why it shouldn't be possible to build those meshes for SFO, since there weren't any available.
So here you will find different Hybrid Tree (Ultra Trees) packages for different tree mods.

At this point I want to express my gratitude to Sheson who made everything possible and giving me valuable information and to Winedave and Vurt for letting me use their assets in my mods. Thanks to Smokeybear for testing my Trees Addon mod in the early stages. I also want to thank all the Nifskope and Blender developers. Without them building those meshes and integrating them in Skyrim wouldn't even be possible.

Thank you for all your endorsements!

Notes:

The tree resource files should only be used if you wish to use TES5Edit and the DynDOLOD_CRC32Gen.pas to copy the hybrid tree meshes with correct CRC32 values. You cannot use them directly with DynDOLOD.

Installation:

You should have a working installation of DynDOLOD and your Skyrim setup should already work without any Ultra Trees installed.
Install the Hybrid Tree package that corresponds to the tree mod that you're using. E.g. if you use Winedave's Trees Addon, you should use Trees Addon Hybrid Trees package.

Make sure that you also download the Billboards package if you want matching billboards for the tree mod.
If you use a ModManager, your setup should be as follows:

  • Tree mod of your choice.
  • Billboards for the tree mod.
  • Hybrid Trees package for the tree mod.

Take care that every tree mod that you use follows the installation pattern above. So if you have a tree mod A followed by B, your Billboards and Hybrid Trees for A should not override the Billboards and Hybrid Trees for B and so on.

The next step is to run DynDOLOD and you should have made yourself familiar with the configuration of DynDOLOD so that the Hybrid trees are actually used. I will add a detailed description later on.
Run DynDOLOD and put the finished output as a separate mod in your load order. Activate the DyndDOLOD.esp in case it is not activated and test if the Trees appear ingame.

Have fun !

Future Plans:

I plan to finish the trees for the latest version of SFO. The next tree mod in line is Tamriel Reloaded HD.
