This mod hand places these new Willow trees into the game.
It requires the "_ResourcePack.esl" file from the 1130 update!
With the recent Skyrim 1130 update, Bethesda provided us with some new assets in the "_ResourcePack.esl" file.
Some of those assets, were new Willow trees which I've made use of and as a result, an updated game with the "_ResourcePack.esl" file active is a hard requirement. No, that will not change.
I love Willow trees, and seeing them become available for use was so nice.
Willow trees naturally like very wet soil, which is why in real life we often see them near bodies of water. Keeping their natural growth in mind, I decided to place Willows near the rivers and lakes.
The installation fomod will allow you to select from a few options:
Screenshots are available to show the difference in both placement and sizing.
To reduce incompatibilities, I did not edit any navmesh. However, I did place _NavCut boxes around the trunks of the trees so AI should avoid walking into them.
In both larger versions of the trees, I edited each tree and collision box individually. Occasionally shifting and rotating a bit to reduce/eliminate clipping wherever possible. However, it is possible I was unable to eliminate clipping completely. The trees get rather large after all and I did my best to fit them into the existing space.
If you want 3D Lods or just greatly improved textures over the 512x512 Beth provided, I'd recommend getting Willows - Improved textures and 3D lods
This mod is ESL flagged and was made with latest CK, which means your game has to be updated to the current version as it also relies on the Resource Pack provided by Bethesda. I believe it will also work if you've downgraded and use Backported Extended ESL Support

The installation fomod will allow you to select from a few options:
- Default placement (26 trees, Mostly around Lake Ilinalta).
- Expanded placement (61 trees, includes all trees from "Default" as well as additions to Lake Honrich in the Rift, the rivers between them, and the river through Eastmarch).
- A standalone addon for Morthal swamp. (58 trees added with edited meshes and textures).
- Scaling options for each placement option (default 1x scale, 1.25 scale, or 1.5x scale).
Screenshots are available to show the difference in both placement and sizing.
