About this mod
Turn vanilla or EVT pine tree leaves AND Snow pine tree leaves into a more realistic experience! The palette was adjusted carefully to match the original tree LOD of vanilla Skyrim and EVT for those using that mod!

Overall, if there is any problem, please don't hesitate to tell me here and I will try my best to correct them if I can. After all, I only made this yesterday with almost zero skills in photoshop and without knowing what the heck is even normal maps is.. so problem(s) could be expected. I learn everything through Youtube the whole day (since I'm sick now and can't move anywhere) and the reason I could complete it despite constant confusion is only because of the motivation to make the pine trees leaves beautiful in my game.. and since I've finally done it, everyone can have a piece of this beginner's pie too :)
FINALLY, I'm a fan of Wuxia / Xuanhuan / Xiaxia genre novel in general, so that greeting you saw up there is from my favorite novel (Ultimate Scheming System). I'm also a fictional writer as well with the same genre as above called [Unbeatable! Invincible! Unparalleled!] and would appreciate it if you could give it a read which is FOR FREE at Webnovel on this link and if you like it, you can support me at my Patreon too!
THANKS!
INTRODUCTION
============================================
Greetings from the Environmental Beautification Department of the Exploding Heavens Faction!
- Ever wanted to take photos with the trees but find them too ugly? Ever wanted to immerse yourself walking in the forest but the d*mn pine leaves were so pixelated like blades to the point where you could get stabbed and cut if you walk close to it?
Well, worry no more fellow adventurers of Skyrim!
We present to you a solution to resolve this peculiar problem by introducing the Premium Pine Upgrades!
============================================
DESCRIPTION
============================================
- Simply put, this is a texture replacer for the leaves of pine trees AND snow pine trees in Skyrim, specifically [treepineforestbranchcomp.dds] with its own normal map [treepineforestbranchcomp_n.dds] for forest pine trees, [treepineforestbranchcompsnow.dds] and normal map [treepineforestbranchcompsnow_n .dds] for snow pine trees, which can be used to replace the original textures in vanilla or EVT mod by SomeRandomGuy83-TechAngel85 (Which I HIGHLY recommend to use with this mod, as I was creating this mod with EVT as the base because it has beautiful LOD).
============================================
PERFORMANCE
============================================
- The MAIN mod is in 8K but I didn't notice any performance drop in fps when compared to using vanilla 4K resolution, not a single 1fps loss. In fact, I even tried reducing it to 2K and it looks terrible with not a single performance increase at all.
- However, if you have older GPU with limited VRAM, your mileage may vary (I'm using 2060s).
- I have included the scaled version for both trees in 4K, 2K and 1K by user demands.
HOWEVER, I REALLY RECOMMEND THE 8K VERSION TO EXPERIENCE IT IN ITS FULL GLORY!!
============================================
INSTALLATION
============================================
- Download and install using Mod Manager like NMM, Vortex or MO2 (I'm using the latter).
- Don't forget to enable it in MO2.
Notes:
- Safe to install/uninstall whenever you want and will not break your save.
============================================
KNOWN ISSUES
============================================
- During rain because of its normal map, they might shine a little depending on your ENB. You can reduce this effect on your ENB settings.
- If you don't want to modify your ENB settings, simply delete the normal map and let it use the default vanilla normal map or EVT, though it will lose about 20% of its fidelity in my opinion.
- You can check the images with/without the normal map on the image section and see how it looks like if you want.
Overall, if there is any problem, please don't hesitate to tell me here and I will try my best to correct them if I can. After all, I only made this yesterday with almost zero skills in photoshop and without knowing what the heck is even normal maps is.. so problem(s) could be expected.
