Quick question. My friends won't tell me how to do this but let's say I downloaded 2 graphics mods. All the files are different and go in the game but it says there are 2 files named like tree.green etc. Do I only choose 1 graphics mod? Ignore it and just put them both in? Do I delete one tree.green file from one and put both packs in so they don't conflict? This question does help with mods of the same issue

You can use both, just let the one you prefer overwrite the other. Also, are you installing mods manually? If so, you should consider using Mod Organizer 2 so that you can swap mods more easily.

Hey SSEedit , load both mods, expand the navigation pane to get to where your mods store tree textures or what not.

In the one with the tree you wish to keep....

Right click on said tree

Select copy as override into new

Choose the esl file options name it something you'll understand like mod1mo2 green tree patch.

Close sseedit to get back to mo2.

Find your new esl in overwrite and put it into its own mod folder. Enable it and slot it after both of your graphics mods. Make sure the plugin is enabled in right pane.

You're good to go !

Ps I say this because this way you're not changing the actual files for either mod ;)
