Turn the Rift into a magical autumn forest it was meant to be.

This modification replaces all the aspen models with more detailed ones, completely custom made from scratch. I have tried to keep the proportions realistic so the large models are not just scaled up small ones, but have thicker trunk and branches as well as somewhat different shape. I have also introduced more variety by adding small saplings, although these (at least for the time being) only grow in certain locations.

ATTENTION!

Ylikollikas has released a mod that masterfully adds animations to the Aspens Ablaze trees, and we're not talking about the simple leaf animation that the trees already had but the real one for branches so that they can sway in the wind. It's one major thing the trees were missing so I definitely recommend the mod for maximum immersion.

Aspens Ablaze - Animated Branches

Note: Requires both Big Trees and Autumnal Variety options.

For higher quality 3D hybrid LOD models for DynDOLOD 3.xx+ make sure to check out Aspens Ablaze Add-On - DynDOLOD 3.

Performance
The performance should be pretty much the same as with vanilla assets when not using the Big Trees option.

The Big Trees option will impact performance.

Compatibility
Not compatible with any modification that replaces or alters the aspen models or redirects their references, everything else should be fine.

Thanks to z929669 for providing the Aspens Ablaze Add-On and for assistance.
