⚠️ Common Mistakes
- Installing multiple mods that modify the same files without checking compatibility
👍 Pros
- Huge community trust: 46,780 endorsements and 1.8M downloads show it's a go-to for many.
- Works alongside Skyrim Flora Overhaul and Lush Trees, so you can stack visual mods without conflicts.
- Gives a more vanilla-friendly look if you find SFO's trunks too different from the base game.
👎 Cons
- Last updated in 2012 — likely outdated for the Special Edition or Anniversary Edition, so you may need to port it yourself.
- Only changes trunks, not foliage or textures, so it's a minor tweak rather than a full overhaul.
- Requires Skyrim Flora Overhaul as a base, so you can't use it standalone.
