About this mod

The Archwood is a complete remake of Falkreath's Forest inspired by Valenwood concept art.

Permissions and credits
THIS MOD is in ALPHA & is a WIP!

PLEASE REPORT ANY ISSUES FOUND IN THE BUG SECTION

I hope this works with Auri but I haven't checked yet xD

IF YOU FIND ANY FLOATING MESHES, open console, click the mesh, then type disable. This will remove it from your game until the issue is fixed.

THIS MOD IS LORE UNFRIENDLY AND IS NOT SUPPOSED TO FIT SKYRIMS ATMOSPHERE

Overview

The Archwood is a bioluminescent jungle-like forest inspired by Valenwood concept art. The Archwood covers all of Falkreath.

This mod features many new plants and trees, upon nightfall most plants & mosses will glow. Valenwood was described as having no torches and everything was lit up with various bioluminescent flora, so I felt an effect like this would be fitting and really bring things to life at night when things are typically more dark. 

There are a few root systems that protrude from the ground which you can run along, if Falkreath had more vertical diversity I would have these roots available all over, but there aren't too many spots where they actually work. 


Plans for the mod

- I want to work on grass eventually, and maybe expand things past Falkreath when I want to make more trees.

Known Issues:

- There might be some stuff floating that I haven't found yet, if you find anything report it into the bug section. 

Installation

- Download & Install with preferred mod manager 
- Load after any other mods affecting flora

This mod will likely not work with Ulvenwald, NOTWL, or any other mods that place clutter and trees in Falkreath. Better to be used with a vanilla replacer (Ulvenwald lite, NOTWL replacer, HLT etc) until patches for these mods are released.

Performance

Performance impact is unknown right now, I have a 3080ti and get about 45-60 fps with high grass density & ugrids on 9, so for most of you running it on ugrids 5 (the default setting) it should run fine on medium to higher end systems.
