This is a simple improved nature layout mod that tries to break up the grid layout that is sometimes very visible in the default that comes with DFU. It's gotten a bit out of hand after I did some experiments for another mod that needs bigger nature billboards but I decided to release this standalone as it works perfectly fine with the vanilla textures.
This mod now randomly scales nature flats through user-controlled mod settings. This means you get to control the sizes of the trees, bushes and rocks.
If you are using an HD texture replacer like Vanilla Enhanced or DREAM your sprites are probably way too big. I have added a global scale modifier in the mod settings to allow you to shrink them down again. If your replacer textures are 2 times the size of the original Daggerfall sprites, use 0.5. If they are 4 times the size, use 0.25 and so on.
I guess I should explain the scale settings. A value of 1.0 means the billboard will be the original size so 0.75 would make it 3/4 the original size and 3.0 would triple the size. I separated the trees, bushes and rocks and they may get split up further as this mod develops, some sprites look better than others. I don't have any recommendations, the default settings make everything slightly larger but it's mostly experimental at this point.

I've made a few screenshots but the effect is more visible as you move around the world. The mod is really tiny and won't break your saves either, it just changes the way the nature layout is generated and scales the billboards. It's compatible with Basic Roads but you might run into a stray nature object on the road here and there, not too much I can do about that.
