Thank you for making this. I recently discovered all the lovely Cathedral plant mods but I didn't like their snowberries it made them very hard to see. These stick out great and are beautiful.
I'm of a similar mind frame as some others who commented below. These are the best snowberries in NexusMods!
However, I noticed that the leaves are a bright green that it makes the plant look weird amidst all the other flora (I use a combo of Skyrim Flora Overhaul + ArtMari's plants--I'm more of an enhanced vanilla/non-ENB player). As merely a suggestion and nothing more, I was thinking the hue or brightness of your snowberry mod could be toned down a little--the leaves and the darker berries. (I'm thinking the hues/brightness could be something along the lines of Snowberries by ArtMari, for example, but still remaining 3D, of course.)
Completely agree. This is a good mod but we need someone to bring it to the next level. Perhaps new meshes with less fruit, less saturation and more realistic textures.
Just coming from 3D Snowberries to this after seeing your pinned post. Also wanted to ask if there was any plans to address thistle or maybe if anyone knows of any mods that adequately address it. That plant has some 3D already, but only on the parts you pick. Was hoping to see a version like this mod where it's more 3D.
When checking them out in NifSkope they seem like they are shaped like 20D and not as round as in the images, my friend wants a LE version that is dark, so im just checking to see if I can get that to work... but they turn so "dice"-like
OK here's an easy way to make a patch for those of us that use Skyrim 3D Trees and Plants.
1/ Create a new empty mod in your mod manager and name it something like 3D Trees Snowberry Patch then open it in Windows Explorer. 2/ Create a folder structure as follows: meshes\landscape\plants\s3dplants\harvestables 3/ Open the Sufficiently Optimised Snowberries mod (or the older 3D Snowberries mod, also by wSkeever) in Windows Explorer 4/ Navigate to the folder meshes\plants. There are 5 .nif files in there: florasnowberry01.nif florasnowberry01snow.nif florasnowberry02.nif florasnowberry02snow.nif snowberry.nif 5/ Copy these 5 mesh files to the folder you created in step 2 6/ Rename the copied files, adding s3dplants_ at the beginning of each filename, so you end up with the following: s3dplants_florasnowberry01.nif s3dplants_florasnowberry01snow.nif s3dplants_florasnowberry02.nif s3dplants_florasnowberry02snow.nif s3dplants_snowberry.nif 7/ Activate the new mod in your mod manager. Since these are loose files and the originals from S3Dplants are in a BSA, these will always overwrite, though it probably makes sense to place it lower down than S3Dplants anyway.
No, the meshes address the textures just the same, all we are doing is renaming wSkeever's meshes so that they override the ones from mathy79's mod.
To be honest, you could probably just make these changes in the original mod, without creating a second copy of the meshes. However, if you later decide not to use 3D Trees and Plants, you would then have to reinstall this mod, so making a patch with a renamed copy of the meshes is cleaner.
Thank you so much! One question, for my modding education - Doesn't having the new SOS3D mod and putting it lower in the load order take care of the problem? I understand the concept of wanting the SOS3D files to overwrite the S3DT&P files; however, I'm not clear on WHY this patch is needed if SOS3D is lower than S3DT&P in the load order. Thanks for your time!
Dargone, thats because S3D Trees and Plants changes the location of the snowberry nifs in the esp. therefore the necessity of this method. also you could create an esp patch similar to cathedral mountain flowers override patch.
@Dargone - What gururaj20000 said. S3D Plants uses a different path and different filenames for the meshes (its .esp points the game to that instead of the vanilla folder location).
Thank You for the tutorial, I was unable to figure out which mod had hijacked my 3D snowberry nifs. Also I don't understand how you were able to discover the issue but I'm grateful you did.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write this up, it's extremely helpful. I absolutely love 3D Trees in general, but I'm not enamored with those pink snowberry bushes. And now I know how to patch in any other plant mods I happen to like better, too.

You can mix this mod with the Mari's and get good results. Just overwrite any mesh conflicts with Mari with the meshes from this mod.

Obviously super happy for what you've already given wankingskeever, just know you have the skillset to do this right so I wanted to put it out there.
1/ Create a new empty mod in your mod manager and name it something like 3D Trees Snowberry Patch then open it in Windows Explorer.
2/ Create a folder structure as follows:
meshes\landscape\plants\s3dplants\harvestables
3/ Open the Sufficiently Optimised Snowberries mod (or the older 3D Snowberries mod, also by wSkeever) in Windows Explorer
4/ Navigate to the folder meshes\plants. There are 5 .nif files in there:
florasnowberry01.nif
florasnowberry01snow.nif
florasnowberry02.nif
florasnowberry02snow.nif
snowberry.nif
5/ Copy these 5 mesh files to the folder you created in step 2
6/ Rename the copied files, adding s3dplants_ at the beginning of each filename, so you end up with the following:
s3dplants_florasnowberry01.nif
s3dplants_florasnowberry01snow.nif
s3dplants_florasnowberry02.nif
s3dplants_florasnowberry02snow.nif
s3dplants_snowberry.nif
7/ Activate the new mod in your mod manager. Since these are loose files and the originals from S3Dplants are in a BSA, these will always overwrite, though it probably makes sense to place it lower down than S3Dplants anyway.
