Just hopping here to add another kudo to you and your mos ! It looks quite good and it's actually the first time I've seen it. I'll definitely try it out some time. Bookmarked and tracked it for the future !
This is actually the best tree comparison video I've seen. Trees make up so much of the game and despite so many tree mods looking great I rarely liked the vibe change from vanilla. Even Enhanced Vanilla felt kind of wrong for me, but Nature of the Wild Lands feels right (once it's done) and maybe I'd be happy with Myrkvior right now.
This is the first video I've ever came across from your channel. Must say this is god-tier. I was thinking of changing my trees and grasses mods and landed on this video by chance. To switch mods one by one and record over and over for comparison - that surely takes a long time, even greater patience and effort. I'm truly grateful that this video exists. This video is beyond great and thank you so so so much!
Please never stop making videos like this. The commentary and comparisons are just so on point and anyone who's attempted to compare mods themselves will recognize how time consuming this must be without even counting the hours of editing. You are very, _very_ much appreciated. I spent a long time trying to decide on a tree mod today before I remembered finding this channel recently and sure enough I check and there was a tree comparison video! I could have saved so much time just come here first.. 😅
Thank you so much and especially for acknowledging the hours of work this video took 🙏💚 Too bad you didn't find this video earlier, I'm curious though: which mod(s) did you choose for the trees?
@@BardsCollegeGraduate My favorites are Nature of the Wild Lands and Ulvenwald. They are both really aesthetic, one in a very lush fantasy way but the other in a realistic way. I need something that's not taxing to my machine, old reliable here has seen a lot of winters already, so my choice was Ulvenwald. Thanks for making the choice easier to make!
@@soppaismi’ve been watching videos for tree mods trying to find a possible replacement for SFO, but as far as I’ve seen the only possible switch i’d make is either Nature of the Wildlands or Veydogolt. But not come with worse performance and they do hit/miss in certain areas. Whereas SFO just feels solid overall in all areas, offering a great visual enchantment that still fits Skyrims theme, with great performance! Looks like after all the searching I’m sticking with SFO as always lol. I just need a good grass mod to pair it with since I don’t prefer the SFO grass.
I love Happy Little Trees. They do a nice job balancing performance and visual quality. They are also lore friendly. I don't like how some mods transform a boreal forest into a more temperate forest. I might try the Carpathian Forest, though. It looks nice.
Best tree comparison I've seen! I found this because I'm putting together a new load order and I've been using Myrkvior forever... maybe time for a change. Would love to see a comparison video of landscape and grass mods.
I really liked the comparisons made in a few familiar locations and also the different regions. Gives a really comprehensive overview of what changes are made and where. The video I didn't know I needed. :)
Absolutely love the cinematic first person shots in between.. I've only been playing in third person since TDM and NordicUI came out and totally forgot how amazing the Immersive headbob and camera shake can be. Fantastic work as always, Fauna will always be a work in progress and it's great to switch it up every now and then, tyvm! :D
@@BardsCollegeGraduate please do! I've always wanted to just lean back and chill, playing with controller, and thanks to TDM/NordicUI's lock-on tracking and their overall UI rework in general, it made third person actually playable and enjoyable :D
@@nex4613 Lol the amount of pain I went through to make Nordic work on ultrawide. I considered taking the blue pill and using dear diary but I like the tween menu of Nordic too much
Thank you so very much for this video! I've been using SFO since I started modding Skyrim in 2013, and I want to try something different now that my latest PC build can handle some of the newer and heavier stuff. Your video has been the best resource for comparison for me, and I can't thank you enough for all the time and effort I know must have been put into it!
Thank you! Glad I could help! I was also in a desperate need for something like this, so I guess the only way to have it was to create it 🤓 hehe. Have fun modding!
I love your comparisons! I haven't played Skyrim in over a year and have recently returned to it and forgot almost everything about mods, but thankfully I have your channel to get the amazing information, thanks!
You're right, Ulvenwald completely flew under my radar, thank god you're here because it looks absolutely amazing ! But that said I don't think it'll be able to dethrone Happy Little Trees for me, that mod is just so perfect to me : good balance of vanilla-friendliness, amazing visuals and performance. Myrkvior is actually up on my list as well but NOTWL is a bit too taxing for me, I don't like to dip too low below 60fps. As for the video, it's actually amazing, great job! For a long video (compared to the recent ones) it's really good ! Maybe the only "critique" would be to stay completely silent during the comparison shots so smooth brains like me can focus solely on the differences and the satisfying transitions but that's just personal preference and also because I'm used to that since it's a really popular thing to make. And even then, your voice is sorta soothing and sweet so it's not a big deal either. Anyway very nice job and thanks for shedding some light on Ulvenwald !
Hey, thanks for feedback! I'm trying to find a balance between commentary and just, you know, cinematics... the thing is, I can see that people leave as soon as I stop talking in the analytics 😅 but I agree! And Happy Little Trees is definitely perfect with all its features, just a magical mod! Thanks for watching and leaving this comment 💚
Thank you!!! I wanted to try something other than SFO and Enhanced Vanilla Trees, but I was always torn between Myrkvior and Ulvenwald, and this really helped me make up my mind! Thanks soooo much!
What a gem of a video. The comparisons are great, the chosen locations are perfect to get a good sense of what really changes from mod to mod. Definitely subscribing, and will go binge some more!
This was the best tree comparison video I've seen. Fantastic job hun, keep up the great work! :) I was personally torn between Happy Little Trees, Nature of the Wild Lands and Myrkvior personally. I agree. NotWL will be god tier when fully finished!
I definitely have to try 3D trees, out of all the mods you presented, the trees in this one look the most next-gen and the performance seems to be surprisingly good!
This was so well made, thank you making it. I ended up going with Nature of the Wild Lands although I wish the trees were bigger, I liked the dense look of Veydogolt Trees.
Wow you nailed it with this one. This is easily the best mod comparing video I have ever seen. This video was so well structured and it provided us with so much useful information. And I especially liked how you showed us a comparison off all the different biomes (even including Hjaalmarch) and it was quick with the name of the mod In the screen the entire time, so we can quickly step forward and backwards in the video for comparing trees. Banger video!
Tried practically all of them and ended up at happy little trees for fps and atmosphere but nature of the wildlands is runner up until it covers all of Skyrim. Great video 👍🏾
Thanks.Exactly what I was needed.And it was confirmed AGAIN that NATURE OF THE WILD LANDS is the best tree mod to date for skyrim se You had to use bubblo too
That was a great video - you definitely helped me decide which mod to go with. Glad to see you like Happy Little Trees, as well! It's my personal favourite, because it changes the fugly barren reach trees to something a lot more presentable, improving Skyrim's woods in every respect, without turning them into a fairyland.
Thank you for doing this the hours u spent getting this vid together will save countless hours of future modders time including myself so thank you lots
Wow, if all your mod reviews are of this quality then I guess remaking a mod list won't be so bad after all. Sincerily thank you for making this. The comparisons are great, I love the addition of the performance review, and all the different shots together.
Thanks a lot! You've helped me with my tree mod dilemma. I was originally using Veydogolt. It looked fantastic and was only getting around 2 FPS drop when I was in Riverwood which I thought was fine. But after going around the Falkreath area and that road near Hillgrund's Tomb, my FPS went down to 40ish FPS so I decided checking other tree mods. That said, I'm settling with Myrkvior for now. 😊
God this video is much better showing and talking about tree comparisons than many others I've found. I do hope there will be othr comparisons in the future like grass mods and more. This helped me narrow down what tree mod to replace EVT with, been wanting some more variety so now I've gotta pick out of the top 3 lol. As long as the Aspen trees are further enhanced (one of the things bethesda actually made to look good in base skyrim) rather than replaced with normal freaking trees xD
Absolutely fantastic video comparison: detailed, right to the point, real experience based, pros/cons and includes old and new mods. You also consider the original design of the game. One of the best Skyrim modding channels I've ever find by far. The bad side is now I want your opinion about every single mod category (ENB, water, weather, textures...)
you got me with a statue, also, this is the best mod comparison i ever seen, i have no idea how much time you spent for this video, but thank you! (btw, i choose 3D Trees, because i love long trees that have leafes way higher than basic tress)
Haha I knew it! And thank you so much, this was a fun project to make, even though taking a fair bit of time :D So glad to be of use! 3D Trees is a solid choice!
This is great! The side-by-side comparisons are fantastic, and I love your top three picks also. It's a hard decision to make, I guess I'll just have to try each of them for different games :D
I agree with Happy Little Trees. It's beautiful and performance friendly. I tried the other mods. They are beautiful, yes, but my system melted like ice.
I have used 3d trees and plants and what i was delighted about was that it also overhauled plants other than trees like cabbage, nirnroot and etc. Its good to have it all in one.
I was wondering why switched from 3d tree to others and something feels odd when I go to Riften, now I understand, 3d tree really did a great job in that area, the aesthetic is unbeatable. love your comparison, that's some effort there.
My 8th modding run and got bored of SFO , I never thought there are other grass mod that'd surpass SFO. Great comparison , especially the frame cost. Thanks !
These comparisons are pretty well done I must say. Even though I'm using NWL at the moment, this video brought back the reasons why I loved SFO back in the earlier years. It's a good balance of variety and performance. HLT is definitely another close one up my alley. Blubbo's tree replacers are also another addition worth checking out, but it does come with a decent amount of clutter, some clipping and weird wind blown animations.
Glad to hear that! I loved SFO as well. Definitely will be checking out Blubbo's, already tried out Whiterun and Markarth trees on an earlier video- the trees look so good!
Great comparison, saves a lot of time on scouring the pages for mods and comparing the pictures. My favourites are definitely Nature of The Wild Lands and Ulvenwald, but there's definitely some favouritism coming from me as well, seeing as my best vacation months were spent in Carpathians :>
Best tree comparison video on youtube! You really did a treerific job with this one. I myself struggle with the choice between 3d trees (my current setup) and treerific, but only because your video showed an excellent comparison of the two. the only critique point i might add (because of course there needs to be some form of constructive criticism) would be something you already kinda addressed yourself...and that would be the speed in which the comparisons march on, but to be fair, for everyone who can't keep up, there's still the option to play the video on 0.75 speed, so no worries. Keep up the great work! Even with Skyrim being as old as it is, there's still high demand for quality content like yours
Thank you so much for making time to write this thoughtful comment! Critique is always welcome, and I agree with you. Thanks again, and I see what you did there :D
Thanks for the video, it was great. I've been running Happy Little Trees since it came out and it's awesome. Today I realized I could combine it with Nature of the Wild Lands and wow it looks amazing, unlike my FPS lol.
You should do ASMR, you are blessed with a voice that relaxes a chaotic and stressed mind. I am saying this not in a creepy "dude parasocial" way. It's just relaxing.
Fantastic comparison! Though in the future if you revisit this topic you might want to consider discussion how each mods LODs are. Myrkvior and Happy Little Trees for example have great support for Dynodolod 3 ultra trees using Hybrid LOD models either natively or by someone else in the community. I was playing around with Nature of the Wild Lands the other day and it is still using the old 2D billboards which look terrible in comparison to the new method in Dynodolod 3. That being said, its still a work in progress so not really a huge nock against it, just something to consider.
Ah, you're 100% right! I was actually thinking about including the LOD bit in the video, and as an afterthought, should've went through with it. And thanks!
Your content is fantastic! i've just got back into skyrim after a long hiatus and im thoroughly enjoying modding it, Thank you for these videos! looking forward to any new content. :)
I thought the way you pronounced "Myrkvior" couldn't be topped by anything in the video - then I get caught starring at Dibella haha you're awesome. I couldn't help but laughing
Thank you for the work you put on your videos. You are really good explaining the differences between them. It helps me a lot with the decisions. Great job
I've been using 3D trees (the version before the latest) for a while now without being tempted to switch. Now that I have seen this video I will definitely give happy little trees a shot 🙂. 3d trees still has better pines then the rest (admitted I am a little biased in that regard because they look like the pines native to where I live), but HLT has much better trees everywhere else (particularly the aspens). Excellent video by the way. 🥇
I originally clicked on the video cuz i thought it was "SKILL tree overhauls" but this worked too xD, also your voice is very pretty and calming. Enjoy your day ma'am.
Taking a moment to appreciate that this video took atleast 5 hours of sitting in xLodgen and Dynalod to compare all these tree mods. Absolutely incredible
Great comparison, and thanks for highlighting some tree mods I hadn't run in to yet. Happy Little Trees is also my new favorite, but there is one big problem I've run in to when using it to replace all trees: the reach trees are too different in size and shape when compared to the vanilla trees, which causes some interesting visual glitches. I've found several places where hanging moss or lanterns just float in the air when they are supposed to be hanging from a tree, to include some things placed by vanilla Skyrim, not just mods.
First video I've seen of yours, and I gotta say! I think I've fallen in love with your editing skills and mic quality. This is some serious effort and it doesnt go unnoticed! Gained a SUB.
Thanks for the feature! I based Ulvenwald off of the spruce forests close to where I live so It gladdens me to know it reminds you of home!
Oh heyyy!!! Absolutely loved Ulvenwald, feels like it just came from nowhere :D! And no problem, thanks for the mod 💚

Treeriffic = finally something to justify buying the latest RTX 4080 GPU !
The Veydogolt Trees is also a good choice for powerful GPUs.

Thank you so much for actually adding a performance section and comparing all mods!
Despite being one of the oldest and one that I’m quite used to... Skyrim Flora Overhaul was still good. Not to mention performance friendly.
Oh yes! I was actually a bit surprised how good it was, even though I had used it for years in LE :D
Newer mods have many great aspects to them, but in terms of all around quality SFO still puts out a good fight.
Agree, everytime i remodding my modlist i always end up using SFO always. But maybe i'll try Happy Little Trees.
I’m in love with the armor your character wears 🫶

Try reach tree replacer and marshlands trees with happy trees it looks amazing
Follow the instructions, and set use the Tree scalar plug-in, set it to 2.6, profit.
Best tree comparison I've seen! I found this because I'm putting together a new load order and I've been using Myrkvior forever... maybe time for a change. Would love to see a comparison video of landscape and grass mods.

Happy Little Trees is such a well-crafted mod!
Fantastic overview of all the different mods and how they look/compare. Thanks for this.
I've been a big fan of Myrkvior, coupled with Origins of the Forest and Folkvangr grass mods. These three go great together in my opinion.
I can’t wait to try treerific when I mod special edition. It looks amazing, the exact total overhaul type thing I’ve been wanting for years
Treerific is absolutely insane :D
I love your comparisons! I haven't played Skyrim in over a year and have recently returned to it and forgot almost everything about mods, but thankfully I have your channel to get the amazing information, thanks!

Amazing Video. The direct comparisons to Vanilla and fps cost was something I really missed in similar videos. Thank you very much.
Good to hear, thank you so much!
This is a great video. Thanks.
I personally use Ulvenwald with Happy Little Trees overwriting it, it makes the trees look so good.
This is great! The side-by-side comparisons are fantastic, and I love your top three picks also. It's a hard decision to make, I guess I'll just have to try each of them for different games :D
I agree with Happy Little Trees. It's beautiful and performance friendly. I tried the other mods. They are beautiful, yes, but my system melted like ice.
HLT seems to be perfect in any regard!
They way you pronounced Myrkvior was actually very satisfying

Best tree comparison video on youtube! You really did a treerific job with this one.
I myself struggle with the choice between 3d trees (my current setup) and treerific, but only because your video showed an excellent comparison of the two.
the only critique point i might add (because of course there needs to be some form of constructive criticism) would be something you already kinda addressed yourself...and that would be the speed in which the comparisons march on, but to be fair, for everyone who can't keep up, there's still the option to play the video on 0.75 speed, so no worries.
Keep up the great work! Even with Skyrim being as old as it is, there's still high demand for quality content like yours
Thank you so much for making time to write this thoughtful comment! Critique is always welcome, and I agree with you. Thanks again, and I see what you did there :D
@@BardsCollegeGraduate You're welcome :)
Btw how the hell did you know about me and dibella?! are you a Jedi? :O
Amazing video. Easily one of the best mods/graphics comparisons I've ever seen. Superb editing and great information. Keep it up!
That's incredibly sweet-- thank you so much!! I worked hard for this at the time, so comments like yours make me think it was worth it!
Subbed. Great comparison and editing
Thanks so much! Welcome!
Great video resource for modding. Very instructive. I'm glad I found your channel right now that I'm tidying up my mod list.
Great video, thank you! Your comparisons were very helpful. I currently use Happy Little Trees, but I think I will switch to Ulvenwald Forest now.
Thank you! Ulvenwald is very unique, so beautiful.
Thanks for the video, it was great. I've been running Happy Little Trees since it came out and it's awesome. Today I realized I could combine it with Nature of the Wild Lands and wow it looks amazing, unlike my FPS lol.
Yeah that combination is the killer, in every sense xD thanks!
I really love your voice ❤️
Would love to see more of your content
You should do ASMR, you are blessed with a voice that relaxes a chaotic and stressed mind. I am saying this not in a creepy "dude parasocial" way. It's just relaxing.
I thank you and am glad to hear that!
I 2nd that!
Fantastic comparison! Though in the future if you revisit this topic you might want to consider discussion how each mods LODs are. Myrkvior and Happy Little Trees for example have great support for Dynodolod 3 ultra trees using Hybrid LOD models either natively or by someone else in the community. I was playing around with Nature of the Wild Lands the other day and it is still using the old 2D billboards which look terrible in comparison to the new method in Dynodolod 3. That being said, its still a work in progress so not really a huge nock against it, just something to consider.
Ah, you're 100% right! I was actually thinking about including the LOD bit in the video, and as an afterthought, should've went through with it. And thanks!
This is a Great Comparison video!! Sharing this with a friend.
Aaaw yeaaah thanks!! 🙏
Your content is fantastic! i've just got back into skyrim after a long hiatus and im thoroughly enjoying modding it, Thank you for these videos! looking forward to any new content. :)
Hey, thank you, I appreciate that! :D have fun modding!
What a beautiful video!
One of the best i must say!
Thank you :3
💚
I have been using happy little trees but after seeing different types of trees, might as well try the others! 😁 Stunning video as always!
That's fun!! and thank you! 💚🙏
I thought the way you pronounced "Myrkvior" couldn't be topped by anything in the video - then I get caught starring at Dibella haha you're awesome. I couldn't help but laughing
Perfect 😎
Fantastic comparison, best Ive seen!! Would really like a similar comparison for the best grass-mods as well. Great work!!
Thank you for the work you put on your videos. You are really good explaining the differences between them. It helps me a lot with the decisions. Great job
So glad to hear, thank you!! 💚
I've been using 3D trees (the version before the latest) for a while now without being tempted to switch. Now that I have seen this video I will definitely give happy little trees a shot 🙂. 3d trees still has better pines then the rest (admitted I am a little biased in that regard because they look like the pines native to where I live), but HLT has much better trees everywhere else (particularly the aspens). Excellent video by the way. 🥇
Welcome to the (dark) HLT side! I can understand your point of view. And thank you! 💚
What an amazing comparison video!!! This was pure quality!!! Thank you so much!
I'm so happy! Thanks!
Great vid that's full of very useful information. Thanks a bunch for making it!
I always wait for your videos to show in my notification list :) thank you so much for sharing these mods, all the best from Chile.
Aww!! Thanks for being here!
@@BardsCollegeGraduate it's always a pleasure 😊
Great video! Nine mods is a lot to compare! Happy Little Trees is what I run. Love it. I look forward to maybe checking out Myrkvior.
Haha you know it, it IS a lot! :D HLT seems to be everyone's favourite!
I originally clicked on the video cuz i thought it was "SKILL tree overhauls" but this worked too xD, also your voice is very pretty and calming. Enjoy your day ma'am.
Really nice comparison, helped to solve my dilemma :D I'm using Happy Little trees +HD rework for them 😉😊
perfect! ✨✨
Excellent video. Really appreciate the time that you took to put this togeather. thank you for sharing.
Thank you so much- hope you found it useful! 💚
Taking a moment to appreciate that this video took atleast 5 hours of sitting in xLodgen and Dynalod to compare all these tree mods. Absolutely incredible
Great comparison, and thanks for highlighting some tree mods I hadn't run in to yet. Happy Little Trees is also my new favorite, but there is one big problem I've run in to when using it to replace all trees: the reach trees are too different in size and shape when compared to the vanilla trees, which causes some interesting visual glitches. I've found several places where hanging moss or lanterns just float in the air when they are supposed to be hanging from a tree, to include some things placed by vanilla Skyrim, not just mods.
Thank you for thsi Video, I was looking for a new Tree Mod, used 3D for quite a while. HLT looks interesting to me the most.
Exceptionally well put together video. Most of these kind of videos do a terrible job of comparing the mod(s) to Vanilla.
Slick editing too. Bravo.
Hey, thanks so much! 🙏 I tried some new techniques, glad it paid off.
First video I've seen of yours, and I gotta say! I think I've fallen in love with your editing skills and mic quality. This is some serious effort and it doesnt go unnoticed! Gained a SUB.
That's so sweet of you to say! Thank you so much and welcome!! 💚
Loved this so much
I loved your video. The music was so beautiful it distracted me hahaha, had to go back and pay attention to the comparisons.
Adrian Von Ziegler is a master composer :') and thank you!
You are such a fantastic youtuber please keep going! This video was super informative and just what I needed, have a great year!
Yayy! :D Thanks so much, and you too!!
great video, you have a very calming voice
I wish Riften had a player home outside the main city in the vanilla game. It perpetually Autumn there and I absolutely love it!
