    Attention!!  Please READ!!
    Hey guys. 
    UPDATE ON ME....With a very heavy heart I am no longer able to do any more modding.  I lost total vision in one eye as you may have known and am now loosing it in the other eye.  I am at the point I have to use text to speech programs to read things.  I HATE IT.  I am very sorry for those who are looking forward to further work and updates but it is not possible any more.  I had a blast making mods and it was a a very rewarding experience.  I will continue to keep my mods available for use.  As for the Mods I have PORTED, any further work and updates will have to be by the Original Author if they with to do so.  If there is anyone who would like to take the reins of my work and continue to further what my Dream was for the Dark Skyrim Overhaul series, please contact me for further information.  Love you guys and please continue Have Fun and Game on.
    Thanks and regards
    Dar

    Hey guys. After optimizing the meshes and changing to Form 44, I tested this for a couple hours in a vanilla game and didn't run into any troubles. I am gonna do some more testing with mods and see how things work. PLEASE.........If you find any texture problems and stuff, let me know and keep the comments kind and professional. I don't take kindly to rude people. LOL. Enjoy the mod and please stop my the original mods page and give a kudos and endorsement.

    Hey guys. Sorry for not being around for a while. I have bought 5 acres and have moved out in the country. As of now, there is no internet where I am at but will be getting service at least in the first of the year. Until then, I won't be able to upload anything till I get service It will be hit and miss for a while as I have no internet for my PC.I will try to answer any questions when I can. I will re-release my other mods when I get service out here after I had some time to work on them. Sorry for the inconvenience. Thanks.

    So if I use the "Dark Forest of Skyrim SE - Beyond Reach - Main" version, I don't need the main Dark Forests of Skyrim?

    Hello there!

    I hope someone can help me out! I have installed the Main Version without DFOS or Billboards and while most parts of the mod work, some trees are somehow missing. Only the LOD is visible, but as i approach them, they dissappear without the actual trees loading. This only seems to happen for the different versions of aspen trees.

    Screenshots can be found here:

    https://ibb.co/VqfL3kP
    https://ibb.co/6YGKgFp


    I have no other Tree or vegetation mod installed, except a 4K Texture Pack and the mod "Terrain LOD Redone".
    I didn't install DFOS, since it is not required. The Problem occurs also on a new save and without any other mods.

    I would be very grateful if someone could help me, can't wait to try the mod out!

      I have this same problem, did you ever fix it?

      Nope, not yet. One temporary workarount is to delete the terrain folders from the meshes and textures folders, which simply deletes the new LODs of all the new trees. I still hope there is another solution

      Not even that worked for me. I actually had to go into xEdit and delete all records of aspen trees to stop it. Obviously not an ideal fix, I'd like to play this the way it was intended.
      I wonder if it's because we're not using the full version of Dark Forests? I had to get rid of it a while ago due to compatibility issues and I can imagine most people who've used this also use the full version.

      hm. I'm really surprised you have said issue. At first, I thought you had textures being overwritten but upon reading that it happens with no other mods I am confused. 

      Just to double-check. You guys are using version 1.1 and not version 1.0 right?

      Yes, I for my part am using 1.1.

      With no mods activated i meant with no .esp's enabled, on a new character. I also made a reinstall of the mod to make sure no file have been overwritten. I am still using Nexus Mod Manager.

      The only thing I can think of is that something previously installed by NMM is messing with it. That or there is actually a problem with the mod. I haven't been able to test it in that area but looking through the file tree it should work. This is so weird.

      i have looked at the files with SSEdit and no other mod does conflict with it. The meshes and textures for the new trees (presuming the rlg folders are for the new aspen trees who are missing) are all correctly installed. I mean I have no tree Modso or anything else installed.
      Only the mentioned before TerrainLODRedone mod. Otherwise... could a 4K Texture Pack for the main game be the culprit?

      Sorry for the late response. Yes, it could be the culprit. But not certain. Definitely try removing it and see what happens.

      Thanks for the reply! I will post if that worked once i have tried it!

      Currently I play with disabled new LOD´s. Since I have foggy weather most of the time it isn't even that noticable xD

    Hey everyone, I read the comments about floating trees so I spent an hour running all over Arnima and found several of them. I created a patch that moves them to the ground, and I also disabled several trees that were problematic (one near the entrance that I think was adversely affected by the Tweak mod). Anyway, the patch is an ESP-light (ESL) and here it is if you want it:

      Might be handy if this was added to Optional Files so it's definitely never lost especially as unfortunately your work on this has halted.

      Thank you very, very much for the patch! Beyond Reach just updated again, massive update this time, any idea if this needs patching again?

      I updated to the latest version of Beyond Reach (4.51) and then checked all the trees that I touched and they all look ok. I also ran around the northern shore area where there is supposed to be some landscape changes and I couldn't find any floating or sunken trees there. I even tcl'd into a lot of the northern rocks/hills to see if I could find buried trees, but didn't find any. So I think the patch is still good. Of course if you find any just let me know and I'll try to fix them. (Kudos given to waeq17 for notifying me about the update!)

      Great to know! That is a relief.

      If I do find anything in the future I will let you know, although it will be some time as I won't start my playthrough for a while.

      (already gave you kudos in the past)

      Make sure you clean all ITMs in the original Beyond Reach mod and use Cathedral Assets Optimizer on all its meshes/textures. That might help!

    The beyond reach update 2019 october seems to have edited some landscape cause now some of your trees are floating.

      I just DLed the non-DFS version of your mod and was about to install it when I read this posting.  Was this issue ever resolved?
