About this mod
A selection of patches/replacers for PLANTS from Skyrim 3D Trees and Plants, with or without Rudy's Light. PLENTY of options and compatibility. With compliments & reference to original creators.

3D Trees and Plants by mathy79 is a wonderful landscape/trees/plants mod which I personally use and recommend for a "touch of fantasy" in Skyrim.
However, if you wish to replace some of its plants, you might get into a problem, because it has its own meshes (hence its "3D" feature), and a unique folder structure which is packed into BSAs - so retextures will not work out of the box. And other modders' retextures are usually only textures which will fit only on vanilla meshes.
These patches/replacements are my attempt at having an option to implement other modders' works on top of Skyrim 3D Trees and Plants.
If you wish to patch the snow on Skyrim 3D Trees, read the article.
Within mesh patches, I also covered planter models and ingredients, so the patch could be complete and 3D's meshes don't interfere.
More stuff covered in Updates, keep reading!
Updates:
- I made a recolor of 3D's Bleeding Crown and White Cap. 3D's models of these shrooms are lovely, but the colors seemed a little off. White Cap isn't really white in my opinion (more like yellow-brownish), and Bleeding Crown is too white (needs more bloodiness). Miscellaneous files. Refer to images.
- I added Nightshade meshes so you can use any kind of retexture that applies to vanilla Nightshade mesh (e.g. Mari's or Neurotic).
This integration replaces mountain flowers from 3D Trees and Plants with models and textures from Cathedral 3D Mountain Flowers. Yellow mountain flower included (Dawnguard DLC), plus Purple mountain flower planter model.
*There is a version without plugin(s) - only meshes and textures, but without Snowy versions of mountain flowers.
*The other version (FOMOD) contains Snowy flowers and therefore has the original mod's plugin, which is adjusted to work with Skyrim 3D Trees and Plants. Contains additional patches for Convenient Carriages, Landscape and Water Fixes, JKs Skyrim and Cutting Room Floor. All plugins are ESL flagged.
The patches are standalone, which means they don't need the original mod to work, only Skyrim 3D Trees and Plants mod.
- Added ESLified plugin that returns ivy to default, so you will be able to install ivy mods from other authors, both meshes and textures (HD Photorealistic Ivy, Ivy by Mari, HD Colorful Ivy etc).
- Included Fixed Mesh Lighting by Catnyss in Cathedral 3D Mountain Flowers. You still need that mod for other mesh fixes, it is highly recommended!
- Added default mesh of Scathecraw, so you can use your desired retexture (e.g. Scathecraw HD 2K or Rally's Solstheim Scathecraw).
- Added ESL-flagged plugin that returns Tundra Cotton to default, so you can install a mod that changes both meshes and textures (e.g. Tundra Cotton by Mari). Fully compatible with Fixed Mesh Lighting.
- Added ESL-flagged plugin that returns Thistle to default. You can then install a mod that changes both meshes and textures (e.g. Thistle by Mari or 3D Thistle).
- Updated Snowberries and Dragon's Tongue into ESL-flagged plugins for better compatibility with other mods that change the plant model and/or texture.
Let me know in the Comments if you want any other plant by 3D Trees and Plants patched to suit other mods, and I'll see if it's doable.
Deathbell
There are two versions of patches for Deathbell:
1. Deathbell with Rudy's Light
Rudy102 has introduced a wonderful Light texture in his More Lights For ENB SE collection and even provided a guide on how to implement it into specific meshes. In this patch I've included his light texture with deathbell's mesh.
This patch is just a mesh and it won't work if you don't have a complementary texture based on the vanilla mesh. ...Well, actually it will work, but it will use Skyrim's vanilla texture if you don't have a custom one.
The mesh will "accept" any retexture - provided it's only a retexture. In featured images, I've covered two which I find the most beautiful: ArtByMari's Deathbell (2K - Purple with Green Leaves) and fadingsignal's Deathbell HD (vanilla 2K HD retexture). As I said, you can use any retexture, and that means any version of mentioned modders' work (1K, 2K, 4K, Red, Blue, White, different colors for leaves, etc.)
Warning: Since Rudy's Light is PURPLE, it would be a good idea to choose a purple version or vanilla retexture for the deathbell! Or as an alternative, download Rudy's guide (you can find it on his More Lights For ENB mods in Miscellaneous files), learn how to customize and change the color of the light for your deathbells. It really isn't that hard :)
Also, yoyocell123 has made his own version of Deathbell and Nirnroot with Rudy's Light. It's a rather specific alternative: it uses fadingsignal's Red Deathbell or Mari's Purple Deathbell, and original 3D Nirnroot. Both meshes and textures.
2. Deathbell without Rudy's Light
If you don't want the colorful light in the background of deathbell bushes, or if you simply don't want to hassle with changing the light's color by yourself if you've chosen another color for the deathbell, this is the version for you. It will implement any custom texture (for the vanilla mesh) that you want. This version's flowers will still glow - very noticeably during the night, and it will be the most vivid if you're using ENB. Refer to featured images.
Nirnroot
Since nirnroot is supposed to shine, it comes with Rudy's Light, which is included within the patch.
This nirnroot is a lit version of Mari's Nirnroot - 2K version, which I believe is the most beautiful out there. All credits go to Mari! Check out her amazing works!
Mari's version of Red Nirnroot is included in the patch, so you could have consistency (and prettiness) because 3D Trees and Plants don't cover the red nirnroot. It has ap propriate red Light, of course.
You can have 1K or 4K version of Mari's mod like this:
Download the desired resolution manually from Mari's mod, extract the Textures folder and replace it in the folder of this patch (where you installed it).
Note: When you harvest nirnroot, 3D's original model of "leftover leaves" will be left on the ground. The mesh isn't really correspondent to Mari's model, but reshaping it is beyond my abilities. In v1.2 I have adjusted the texture of 3D's leftovers to better fit Mari's. Refer to featured images.
ENB instructions for patches with Rudy's Light: "EnableComplexParticleLights" must be turned on in the Effects section (ENB UI) and "EnableBigRange" in the [COMPLEXPARTICLELIGHTS] section!
INSTALLATION
In this order:
1. Preferably use a mod manager. Any of these patches must be loaded AFTER Skyrim 3D Trees and Plants mod.
2. Install desired patch(es) from the download section.
3. Install desired textures from other mods if necessary.
Some of the stuff in featured images:
Mari's Swamp Fungal Pod
Mythical/Rudy ENB for Cathedral Weathers (tweaked to oblivion and I still didn't get it right...)
Rudy's Glowing Mushrooms
Riverside Lodge
Cathedral Landscapes
Cathedral 3D Pine Grass
