Can Anyone Help With Tree Colour?
Oky, this is just a annoying visual and not a problem or a bug i thought someone can help me with here.

Oky, so i got Skyrim Flora Overhaul, HD Trees and Bigger Trees from Real Vision ENB. (Everything Works Fine By The Way)

But the problem i got is this....i got this beautifull huge green HD Trees and inbetween them are weird light greenish smudged trees??

Will provide screenshot.....

Toss a screenshot up and we can see what we can do.

The problem isnt actually the lighting on your trees, it appears to be a LOD issue.
In order to save memory, skyrim load disatant objects in a reduced format, called a LOD (load on distance). This includes a mesh and a texture, and skyrim impliments this in a weird way where the tree lod is generated all in one file, instead of a lot of small files.
So your LOD trees can be a completely different style, color and even shape compared to what the actual trees are, depending on what that LOD file contains
Tree loads often arent compatable between different tree mods, and the last installed mod will generally override all the others (installation order, not load order), so you will have to check for conflicts and see if there is compatability patches.

Heres a fun example of other stuff that can happen when you (in this case accidentally because im a forgetful idiot at times) run conflicting tree lod files in your game:

HOW I WANT MY TREES TO BE
This is how i want my trees to look like. I dont mind them changeing colour when light is been cast upon them, but not so much that it changes colour to that ugly light greenish look

I should also mention, if you want the trees closer to you to change in style, you will have to change your tree mod, or edit it.
If you just want consistancy, then you will have to look at LOD problems

Can i just not increase my LOD range in the .ini file??

That wont solve your problem though, and might introduce new ones.
Your lods will still be conflicting with your up close trees, and increasing your load range puts a huge increase on the amount of memory you are loading at any one time as you run through the world,

So basicly what you are telling me is that SFO and HD Trees are conflicting?? Cause those are the only 2 tree mods present in the Real Vision Recomended Mod List......
Nazenn Feb 21, 2015 @ 1:26am 
I dont know, you will have to test it out yourself. It will also depend on what version of SFO you have, as the newest version has had some lod changes that should help, but you might not have them installed.
Welcome to the hell of trying to mod trees in skyrim :(

Well, i had newer version, but uninstalled it cause it never gave me an option what verseion i wnat. So it just assumed i want summer version and it had a huge FPS impact on my game. So i downloaded a older version of Regular for SFO.

You dont perhaps know, what 2K texture mods replace the trees in skyrim?? Landscape or Misc??
Nazenn Feb 21, 2015 @ 1:34am 
There is no summer edition of v2 of SFO.
v2 was only completed as the basic version before the author stopped work on it.

Files that conflict with the tree lod are listed on the description of the SFO page in the FAQ if i remember correctly

This is defnintly a lightning issue from some mod. Casue during cloudy or rainy weather, my trees look fine and normal.

As soon as the sun rise and its open, i get that weird out of colour trees

**EDIT**
No wait, the issue is with SFO mod. Cause once i downloaded the latest version of SFO and the Aspen trees and blah blah blah (what the ENB author told me to do) my issue was GONE.

But the issue now is that my skyrim looks like the Summer Edition of the SFO....and i would like the Regular or Basic Edition look of it
