Reforestation help PLEASE

[Sniffles]

Okay, it's not about Vilja except she will be enjoying the scenery too.
Background: I lived in clear cut horrorville. I've seen my fair share of raped wilderness. And a whole heck of a lot of Skyrim was obviously inspired by complete idiots who think struggling second growth forests are what a wilderness normally looks like.

And so, I want to reforest Skyrim. Tastefully. Neatly. The mods I've seen are bewildering. So I turn to the very VERY helpful people here on Emma's.

I do not want a mod that is a WIP. I do not want a mod that demands or suggests I also get this mod and that mod and twiddle the ini file and stand on one foot while holding my breath as exotic foofifier zomper program installs a huge mess. I am fussy. We are fussy. VERY VERY FUSSY. A nice clean esp thingy. No game bloat. No crashes.

Please suggest???

And on the mod note. We tried various armor and clothing mods. And made a horrible mess. We've managed to get things looking a little better but many women don't have anything on down below. Can someone please suggest how we can fix? All we wanted was more attractive outfits. Not SF Tenderloin after midnight!

Regarding trees, unfortunately I don't think there's going to be the easy answer you are looking for, Sniffles, unless someone else knows better.

I looked into this for myself back around Christmastime and decided there wasn't anything I wanted to use because of various issues. I've taken a quick glance again now and I didn't see anything new that was different. Many of these were in fact WIPs and most covered only a limited area. Some of the issues I noted being reported were much reduced framerates, less than ideal distribution, using mostly one kind of tree in some cases and conflicts with other mods, e.g. mods that add buildings. I now have a powerful video card with 4gb of onboard VRAM, but I'm still not tempted to try one of these just yet.

What are you looking for in clothing and armour mods for women? Largely lore-friendly or something elegant or both. That may also depend on what body mod your characters use, if any.

Moan. What you said about trees is exactly what I encountered. I suspect the developers forested the areas then removed the trees or replaced them with sawn off stumps where they noticed frame rate drop was excessive. Sigh.

Body and clothing. Embarrassed max to tell the sordid tale. We discovered the UPN body mod and went crazy adding various clothing and armor mods. Sexy armor replacer patch, You Call That Skimpy thing, FGems Skimpy armor set included. Horrified at some of the mess we began randomly deleting the mods and unchecking the esp's. We kept no track of what we are doing. And now we have this horrible mish mash in the data folder. Worse, some of the armor and clothing is quite nice, but often incomplete. And of course, bits and pieces of Vilja went missing in our rush to delete things. Now it's a serious FUBAR. All we want it the people to put things on down below!

I use the UNP body mod. Is that the one you mean? I like to mix and match, so I've tended to go for the clothing and armour mods that allow that, like Eldrids and Brokefoot's mashups and the Misfit Mage and Prince of the Woods sets, though not exclusively so. My Vilja's more elegant outfits are mostly singles. If you have 'incomplete' sets, adding something from another set that comes in parts might help.

I also use the mod that supplies UNP meshes for the vanilla outfits so females don't look as if they are wearing male clothes or at least they aren't so "flat". I can't remember its name right now.

Thanks much. We are going to give them a try.

Reforestation. We tried skyrimaguas_reforestation mod, the one that gives 101 plant growing spells. Game tends to crash just saving and reloading near Farengar who sells the spells. Tried Whiterun Enhanced and the game drops frames while in WR and crashed twice when leaving Dragonsreach. Not surprising. Towns and cities enhanced seems to do okay. Funny things. Serana, last seen going to get cured of vamp suddenly turned up near Markarth. Eyes are normal. Wish there was some way to dial her aggression back.
