Overview
JK's Skyrim makes alterations involving trees, including planting new ones, adding decorations such as lanterns to them, and creating custom ones with shrubs for leaves. Using Happy Little Trees, however, will change the shape of the trees and, thus, cause issues like floating objects and clipping. This patch addresses these issues by resizing and shifting trees that clip, moving floating lanterns to a suitable branch (alongside any light sources), and adjusting the (shrub) leaves to remove floaters and make the tree look tidier.
Some of the lanterns (particularly the Falkreath one) might be in a strange place logistically, but I had to work with the shape of the tree. Some additional leaves are added to the Rorikstead trees (they're supposed to look a little dead, but the original placement of the leaves is inconsistent and it leaves the trees looking strange); I repurposed floaters where I could, but some new types had to be used. Accounting for the deletions, only four additional things are added as of version 1.2, so there shouldn't be any impact on performance. Results may vary based on your shrub textures - I designed this mod using Cathedral retextures, but the vanilla textures look fine too.
I've tried to not go too overboard with edits. Some of the fixes may also not completely stop the clipping, but instead move it out of sight so that you won't notice it during normal gameplay; this is done so that things aren't changed too drastically. Any branches that clip into other branches high in the sky, or any leaves that clip slightly into buildings, are generally left alone.
