General Information: 

Patch for Skyrim Flora Overhaul v 2.8 is now available for those that do NOT use DynDOLOD or TES5LODGen

DNF is compatible with other tree mods that change vanilla trees, via DynDOLOD or TES5LODGen.  Install and load mods that change vanilla trees after DNF.

the following mods are compatible via DynDOLOD or TES5LODGen:
- Skyrim Flora Overhaul
- Dark Fantasy Overhaul
- Enhanced Vanilla Trees
- Whiterun Great Forest (DNF does not add trees to the Whiterun tundra, except near Rorikstead/Reach border)\
- Realistic Aspen Trees and another other aspen tree mod
- Winter Overhaul 2019
- any retexture mod for vanilla trees
- any Bigger Tree mod (as long as billboards are provided)
- All Solstheim mods are out of box compatible as DNF does not add trees there


DNF is compatible with Enhanced Vanilla Trees.  Use the 3D LODs provided with EVT or other source


This mod was created using only the creation kit and only vanilla assets were used


Mods that add more trees to Skyrim will not be compatible in general, as there may be overlapping trees

the following mods are not compatible and will have overlapping trees 
- Dark Forests of Skyrim (DNF was created using this mod so it is 100% NOT compatible)
- Enhanced Landscapes
- Trees Addon
- Spring Forest overhaul
- Fantasy Forest Overhaul
- Tamriel Reloaded






Performance Impact:

- performance impact will depend greatly on your hardware, video card etc.  This mod was tested with an i7, 2080 RTX and ENB, with little to no FPS loss.

- using high res textures for trees and barks will result in FPS loss with added tree density.  







Installation and Load Order:

Install mod as is for vanilla skyrim with no other tree mods.  Loose files are terrain LOD for trees

Skyrim Flora overhaul users should install both DNF and SFO, then overwrite with this patch.   The patch needs to be added last, that is the only requirement.  It doesn't matter if you install DNF or SFO first, as long as the patch is last

DynDOLOD and TES5LODGen users only need to install the .esp file, loose files are not needed as you be generating new ones with either aforementioned program

DNF should be higher in the load order, above other tree mods.  

** to make this mod compatible with other tree mods, you need to install the other mod as well as Skyrim vanilla billboards.  Then run LOD gen program for Trees
