DROPPED Skyrim Flora Overhaul (by vurt)

[Mandalay]

Version 2.4 published (yes i know step is about 1.87)

 

* trunks on treepineforest05 and 02 are now approx 50% reduced in width. This should fix the problem with the trees appearing floating above ground in slopes.

* Collision has been updated on treepineforest05 and 02

* Removed the low poly branches on treepineforest02 and replaced them with 2D branches that instead are more detailed (doesnt look like tooth picks like before).

* updated vurt_PineAtlas04.dds (new pine needles)

* updated bark for green pines (repeating pattern should be less obvious)

* Lupins are now slightly shorter and less "in your face" (as requested by a few people)

Hi, I have a question related to the HQ version of this mod (The 1.87 version of the STEP guide) :

What shall I select in order to get a HQ version ?

 

I have open the archive "LOD Basic Edition" (Which is supposed to be the HQ version from my point of view) but its content is a unique file "textures\terrain\tamriel\trees\tamrieltreelod.dds"

This file shall be deleted (or hide) from the archive according to the detailled instructions. --> https://wiki.step-project.com/Skyrim_Flora_Overhaul#Recommendations

 

According to this, could you tell me what is the HQ version of this mod please ? (or delete the HQ tag from the guide)

[TechAngel85]

For this mod, it's just the newer 2.x versions.

40 files now! FORTY! 

 

I hope this untidiness doesn't carry over into real life. *shudder*

[Krabator]

For this mod, it's just the newer 2.x versions.

Does the newer version of this mod is recommended for a fresh STEP extended install please ?

[TechAngel85]

You can use it, but if you do be sure to grab the related billboards for DynDOLOD.

Hmm. Should we come up with easy to follow instructions for installing v2 should someone want higher quality trees or the latest version of the mod? Right now, there are none provided.

No, I don't think we need to do that. The other versions are not part of the baseline install which is what the instructions are laid out for.

 

I do think we should reevaluate the newer versions though (for Extended).

If we re-evaluate the newer versions, I noticed Vurt uploaded a 2k texture pack compatible with any version of SFO 2.0+. Should get better performance than with some of the 4k trees in the original file.

Well, SFO 2.0+ is twice as laggy as the 1.87 one. The textures might help, but not much

Yeah, I really think 2.x will be too performance heavy for STEP. We'd have to verify it on a system that is around our minimum spec requirements.

[Fantomax]

Well, FYI I have a 1GB VRAM. I've tried to compare the performance between 1.87 and 2.0+ (and my personal modlist which based from STEP)

 

The result is quite spectacular :

1.87 - ~30 FPS

2.0+ - 15-20 FPS (wut?)

[DoubleYou]

That's the result that I would expect.
