This mod adds several new artfully crafted world spaces including one with a beautifully designed  treehome that is fully exterior meaning you can look out the windows.

I made this particular worldspace as a sanctuary, a place with no land ownership, no no trespassing signs, no war..... Only the sea and beautiful vistas.....


There's no place like that in Skyrim and no place like that in the real world.


Dragon Tree White Flower Islands
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

This has been an evolutionary project with many contributors which I now consider completed.

I've uploaded a new version of this mod that has been dramatically simplified and designed for the mod the Frozen North and has Mihail's non-monsterous animals. It has been cleaned and optimized and has quite a bit of new content.

You cannot upgrade to this new version from a previous version of this mod... But it is safe to install mid-game. Several wordspaces have been added which were crafted by UmeGuru and another player home has been added that was crafted by Oldbutnotweak.

All used with permission.

The mod is now completely modular meaning that the base mod Dragontree Island can be installed on any game and has no dependencies except for vanilla Skyrim.

If you want to add things to the world there are various patches all of which have dependencies you need to download and install and load before this mod. This mod now plays well with any texture packs or replacers for trees and flora but you need to use DYNDOlod obviously to get a decent LOD.

This mod has been cleaned with SSEedit and has no deleted nav meshes and only ITMs that SSEedit ignores.

This mod merges all of Mihails non-monstrous animal mods into both Tamriel and this mods world spaces. All the appropriate water records and updates have been applied to Miihails records. If you don't want the edits of Tamriel just open up the mod in SSEedit and delete everything in this mod in the Tamriel world space except for the records in the Winterhold exterior.

I received permission from quite a few more mod authors to incorporate assets into this mod.... And I figured out how to get the worldmap to work properly.....

What this Mod Is:
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

This is an approved SSE port of Dragon Tree Temple by Bhaktisean.  It also adds several new worldspaces made by UmeGuru in his White Flower mod (used with permission). The tree has been moved from Tamriel to it's own island worldspace to greatly reduce system load, and reduce compatibility issues and navi conflicts. It runs a solid 60 FPS on my medium ranged system with no stutter or lag.  It only edits a tiny area of Tamriel for max compatibility.  The new worldspace is navmeshed and has full LOD.  No errors in SSEedit and no navmesh deletions or warnings.  This mod has scripts so it shouldn't be removed midgame unless you are savvy.

There are no NPCs and nothing aggressive but a few mudcrabs and horkers that are aggressive if you get too close.

How Can I Get There:
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

There is a portal in the second outside level on the Hall of Elements, College of Winterhold...... at the back
Otherwise:  COW Takarigua 0,0 in the console

Properties of Dragon Tree Island:

15) Several new Worldspaces and a passive quest
16) A very interesting player home by Oldnotweak

Things to notice in this mod:
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Bhaktisean's tree home is really incredible and there really isn't anything like it on the nexus, hence why I was willing to put the time in to properly port this mod.

The tree house casts lovely shadows on the island that move throughout the day

Mathy's flora textures are incredible and this mod gives them a showcase

I designed the worldspace like a Japanese garden and was attempting that feel.

I really loaded this version up with assets  and there wasn't a hint of stutter or low FPS on my system.  It seems SSE can handle complex landscapes effortlessly outside the Tamriel worldspace.

When the weather rolls in this worldspace has a interesting feel because the water is calm and the rain shows.

I left spaces to pitch a Campfire/FF tent on most of the islands

The LOD views of the tree from the smaller islands is very pretty (Thanks xLODgen)


Installation
>>>>>>>>>

Install with MO2 or equivalant and enjoy
Add any addons and their dependancies and load after

BSA format....plug and play
This mod would be improved by DyDOLOD as I did not do tree LODs in xLODGen,  and there were no issues generating both  xLODGen and DynDOLOD. 


Load Order
>>>>>>>>>

Campfire
Verdant
Skyrim 3D Landscapes
Toadsky
Vivid Weathers
Dragon Tree Island
Immersive College Winterhold (if present)

Preferable to load before Immersive College of Winterhold SSE (https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/17004)  Followers still follow into Dragon Tree Island.  If they don't load after.

Known Issues Q and A:
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

1) If you look closely you can see the corners of the world .... what gives?

The world has to be square or rectangular for LOD generation and squares have corners.  I could make the world gigantic but this may have FPS issues ..... what I provided is the best balance.

2) My NPCs are naked in the baths

However your NPCs look like without clothes will be how they look in the bath

3) The Navmeshes and pathing isn't perfect and sometimes the NPCs teleport. 

They are as good as it is worth doing.  Vanilla has this issue too.  If you find something terrible PM me

(Fixed in 2.0)

4) When I enter Dragon Tree Island the weather from the previous world follows me until a weather change.

fixed with a script in this version

5) I see Z fighting

There are shallow pools in Dragon Tree Island and when the waves bob it causes Z fighting.  I like shallow water so ....  Only visible from above mostly.

6) I use a darker Skyrim mod and the exterior interior of the house is too dark

The interior of the house in the exterior cell is very complex with many surfaces from different objectIDs ..... the Skyrim lighting engine can't handle this well and this results in flickering and black textures.  Unless mudcrabs can fly there is nothing to attack you up there .... enjoy the darkness.  Even with no lightsources in the mod casting candlelight or using a lantern will cause these issues.

Developers Notes:
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

It seems people don't like different versions of the same mod and prefer patches....I can't really blame them although in essence there is really isn't much difference between the two except for download size

The CK2.0 with the CK2.0 Fixes mod has finally made the CK almost a pleasure to use.  It doesn't crash any more even when you try to do crazy things like copy 1000 objects at once it works.  Didn't CTD once during this project.

This mod is a mulltilevel outdoor wordspace and that makes navmeshing challenging.  It is best to completely navmesh the lower level first and finalize before doing the upper level.

For whatever reason xLODgen was the only utility that could generate a good LOD for this mod.  Don't use 565 if you don't like CTDs

Note that you can generate a perfect LOD for a custom worldspace and have the worldmap still show Tamriel.  In the CK Worldspace editor if even one field is inherited from Tamriel your custom worldmap will not show, and instead you get Tamriel with your new markers overlayed     

Lighting:  Be conservative because of Skyrims lighting limitations.  Walk your mod with the spell candlelight active to check for issues.

Mod Saturation:  Making a new world is not difficult.  Consider making any new content outside Skyrim.  Every cell in Skyrim you edit significantly probably requires at least 2 cells navmeshes to be changed and that overwrites other mods.  This is a compatibility nightmare.

I learned quite a bit about navmeshing from this mod.   The most important one was that the physics/pathing engine handles navmeshes over landscape terrain completely differently than over NIFs.  For terrain the vertexes are most important, for nifs it in important the the triangles don't intersect with the NIF or hitching will happen.  The navmeshing layout system also wants to place vertices on top of any water meshes but this causes issues.

Don't link to another worldspace directly from an interior cell in Tamreil .... used a hidden exterior cell as a proxy.  It just works better.

Make your mod with ALL the assets and mods you plan to use and and QC that .... then strip out dependencies to make versions to cater to your audience.  It literally took me 15 minute to make the "vanilla" version of this mod. SSEedit is an incredibly powerful tool.
