Requirements
Overview
- A straightforward, no-hassle landscape improvement mod
- Integrates under-utilised assets from the Dragonborn DLC into the wider world of Skyrim
- Mod replaces dead shrubs (TreeDeadShrub) with smouldering pine trees in the Aalto volcanic region of Eastmarch
- Smouldering pine trees have a subtle FX element (smouldering and smoking)
- Smouldering pine trees suggest a more active volcanic region, and provide a more apocalyptic feel to the area
- Many smouldering pine trees are offset from perpendicular, providing variation in sightlines
Compatibility
Highly compatible with most setups, and with most other mods
- Mods that remove dead shrubs (TreeDeadShrub) in the area will not be compatible
- Designed to work with any or all of my other mods for the Aalto volcanic region of Eastmarch:
- Detailed Landscapes - Fire Craters and Flaming Rock Debris in Eastmarch Volcanic Region (BOS)
- Detailed Landscapes - Burning Drift Wood in Eastmarch Volcanic Region (BOS)
- Detailed Landscapes - Flame Stalks in Eastmarch Volcanic Region
- Detailed Landscapes - Charred and Smoking Shrubs in Eastmarch Volcanic Region (BOS)
- Detailed Landscapes - Heart Stone Deposits in Eastmarch Volcanic Region (BOS)
- Or, you can use my all-in-one: Detailed Landscapes - Eastmarch Volcanic Region AIO (BOS)
Installation and Uninstallation
Use the mod manager of your choice to install. Or manually. To uninstall, remove with mod manager. My understanding is that BOS will not impact save games in any way. Safe to install or uninstall at anytime.
Configuration
- Mod is currently configured to replace most dead shrubs (TreeDeadShrub) in the Aalto volcanic region of Eastmarch: chanceS(100)
- Users can adjust the frequency of the replacement by opening the .ini and editing the number in chanceS(100). 0-100. 0=0%, 100=100%, 50=50% etc.
- Mod is also currently configured to insert smouldering pine trees in a range of different sizes between 0.5x of the original (smaller) to 1.5x (bigger): scale(0.5/1.5)
- Users can adjust the size/scale of the smouldering pine trees by opening the .ini and editing the numbers in scale(0.5/1.5). When editing the scale, units must be in floats (e.g., 10.0)
Caveats
- Images and video are for illustration purposes only
- Smouldering pine trees may look different depending on setup (e.g., ENB, weather, etc.)
- Your po3_BaseObjectSwapper log will report a conflict if you also use my Detailed Landscapes - Fire Craters and Flaming Rock Debris in Eastmarch Volcanic Region (BOS) with this mod. THE CONFLICT IS DELIBERATE; IT IS NOT A PROBLEM. The conflict retains two (2) smouldering pine trees
