V2.0 - The LOD Update! All trees have been given the appropriate LOD file so that they can appear as far out as possible
The LOD Update
I figured out how to use LODs and assign LOD models to regular models. Now, every single tree has an appropriate LOD file, meaning that even from the other side of the map (depending on your view distance), you'll see the lush forests still there. The LOD model should switch out with the non-LOD model when you get appropriately close.
The amount of extra LOD models means that performance is somewhat impacted if you have high render distance.
This mod is NOT TESTED to work with missions - it's very possible that the amount of trees interferes with certain missions.
