What started as a mod to add a few HQ tomatoes and patatoes to the world has ballooned into a BOS food adder, shrub swapper, and tree replacer. This mod will not overwrite your other food replacers. It is designed to work with them. If you have HQ replacers for all the vanilla food in Skyrim, those will stay. If you also use Skyrim Food Expansion, that will also stay. This mod shuffles them all up and mixes them together, so you will have tons of different foods. Want 8 different tomatoes? Gotcha covered. Do you use Tomatoes of Skyrim? Great. This will add even more tomato plant varieties. Want 10 kinds of potatoes? 8 kinds of gourds? The power of Base Object Swapper has you covered. Do you love your Cathedral 3D plants and shrubs, but maybe want to see how they mix with Blubbo's shrubs, and Shrubbery Symphony? Why be stuck with only one type of pineshrub01 when you can have 9? Tired of dead shrubs and thickets? Change them into luscious plants (but only in temperate climates). Have access to AE content (_resourcepack.esl)? Add some cypress trees to the marshes and snow gum trees to the Reach. Mix up 36 different Aspen trees in Riften forest, sure, why not. All vegetables added by this mod are farmable. Seasonal Changes for winter are complete (plants either die or turn to snowy dead shrub or thicket01. Seasonal changes for farmables and shrubs is in the works and improving with updates (future goal is seasonal farming and growing annual shrubs [far off future goal is fruit trees]). HAV2 tomatoes are throwable with splatter and sound effects, as are bird eggs (Requires HIGGS).

Installation: Download the prerequisite mods. Base Object Swapper is required. All other prerequisites are optional but get them. This is a synergy based mod. The more you have the better it works. Install Cathedral 3D versions of all shrubs normally. All of them. I mean it. Type "Cathedral 3D" in the search bar. Install Shrubbery Symphony normally. Install Skyrim Food Expansion normally. Install Kabu's Gourds, Google's New Fruits, Improved Pumpkins, Seasons of Skyrim, Tomatoes of Skyrim, Unique  all normally. If you use MO2, great just put them in there. Install Blubbo's Shrubs meshes in a folder called Blubbo inside the meshes folder or it will not combine correctly. If this is not done, it will just overwrite the Cathedral shrubs. Install it using a mod manager or by extracting the 7zip to Data\meshes\blubbo\>, but if you use a mod manager, open the mod in explorer, and cut the files out of meshes\landscape\plants\> and move it to meshes\Blubbo\>. Then, just install this one. It should not matter where it goes in the load order. This mod defines formIDs, and BOS and SOS (not that one) executes them. It is ESL, so it combines with the other ESL mods and loads first.

The text files. This comes with BOS and Seasons files. Edit them in notepad as you see fit. Semicolon ; is the comment code. Don't want something mixed up? Add a ; in front. Want to try out the 30 Aspen Trees? Delete the semicolons (and download and rename the HLT aspens with an HLT right before the .nif to mix in 36 different Aspen trees for Riften). 

Have a question? Leave a comment. I will answer you.

Version 2.5.2 and 2.5.3

Bug fixes and inclusion of missing data. Tomato and Egg explosion nifs included. Better tomato explosion. Included seasonal swaps for fallforestshrubs vanilla versions (not the same as seasonal aspens version and compatible, so you have both). The fallforest textures will overwrite seasonal landscapes fallforestshrub textures. This is intentional, as those are actually aspenbranchcomp. Leave a comment if you want all three versions. I can do that. mall changes to the seasons swap inis to ensure everything works correctly. 

Version 2.5.1

Minor update to add spring versions of potato and sweet potato plants. Improved destruction data for tomatoes and eggs (to make them disappear on strike more consistently). Update Winter, Spring, and Summer inis to use new potato plants, and correct an issue with the pumpkincluster01 not swapping in spring and summer.

Version 2.5

Seasonal farming is now in the mod. For Seasons of Skyrim users, HAV2 vegetables will follow a seasonal pattern for growing. Plant your veggies anytime you wish, but they will only be harvestable in the right seasons. For users who have Tomatoes of Skyrim, for example, all tomato plants are replaced with HAV2 tomato plants. In the spring, the plants will all have unripe tomatoes, and that is all you can pick. In the summer, the plants will switch to Beefsteak, Brimmer, and Brandywine plants, and harvest the correct tomato based on what is growing on the plant. In the fall and winter the plants will be dead and gone. This leaves the opportunity to have a second crop that grows in the winter, in the same field, as this also affects all farms throughout the game (though this is not implemented, as it would affect BYOH farming too). This is maybe a future update. Cabbages, Leaks, Broccoli, and wheat could all technically be winter crops (Which is why they are harvestable year-round). Parsnips are a tough one, because (IRL)they could be planted in the spring, and harvested in the fall, or left in the ground to overwinter and be harvested the following spring. This is not possible to do as far as I know, so they will only be harvestable in the fall. 

Version 2.4.2

Now has seasons list for all four seasons. Added compatibility with seasonal pumpkins, and seasonal Aspens. Still working on making the farming seasonal for 2.5.

Version 2.4.1

Tree changes off by default (now delete the semicolon to activate in the SWAP.ini). Seasons compatibility added to main branch. 

Version 2.3.2
Change up the trees in the Fall Forest around Riften. Simply add a semicolon ; before the lines in the swapper to disable this feature (or add them to prevent any swap you want to prevent), just like for the Cypress and Snowgum trees.

Version 2.3.1

Added even more vegetables, including parsnips, sweet lightning pumpkins, another sweet potato, and swapped the fugly pumpkin for a better looking one. All farmable. Edited some textures to make the stuff look even better. Added snow gums tree and cypress tress to the tree object swapper. This requires _resourcepack.esl in your load order. Reach tree 1 will be a 1/2 sized snow gum tree 1 in the reach only, and in the Morthal marsh dead pine tree 3 will be Cypress 2. These swaps can be disabled by ; the lines at the bottom of the tree object swap list. Rerun dyndold to activate the lod for these trees. 

Version 2.3

Now all HAV2 vegetables are farmable in Hearthfire. New requirement: Tomatoes of Skyrim, so that there will be tomatoes for swapping. Great mod. Highly recommend.

Version 2.2 (Now with plantable, and wild pumpkins)

Most people are not getting the most out of this mod. The steps to make it fully amazing are a bit complicated. I will explain them here. Get all those mods below in the Version 2 instructions. Also get the full suite of Cathedral 3D plants. Then get Shrubbery symphony (link below), then get Blubbo's Shrubs, but do not install it. For Blubbo's shrubs, open the archive and go into the folder meshes\landscape\plants\ and copy all of the plant meshes to skyrimVR(or SE)\data\meshes\blubbo\.  Basically, put it all in a folder called blubbo and put that in meshes. The BOS list will mix and match all of the Cathedral Shrubs, Blubbo Shrubs, and Alax Shrubs, just like it mixes and matches Google's fruits and veg, Alax fruits and Veg and the Hasphat extra fruits and veg. Bounus: If you also use Unique Flowers and Plants, the pumpkins added will be replaced by harvestable pumpkins everywhere that they exist. These pumpkins can be planted at your garden to yield more pumpkins. Also, if you don't have that mod, gourds found at farms and in the Rift will have a chance at being one of 2 harvestable pumpkin models. Then most importantly, load HAV2 last. 


Version 2.1

Even more new food items for more diversity. Mod is now fully ESL. Will not take up a modslot. Can be placed as an early loader.
V2.1.0.1 is just a minor update to name the Kaiser Roll as it was still called "bread." New sounds for destructible veggies and eggs.

Verion 2

Now a Base Object Swapper Mod. Get the best vanilla food replacers you can for everything, because all vanilla forms are defined for swapping. If you use TB's Bread or the Cabbage (for example any HD food replacer) they will still show up in game. Requires Food Expansion and Google's New Food as well as Kabu's Gourds for fulll functionality. Requires Base Object Swapper. Reset the items to the vanilla sizes to allow for the scaling function of BOS to do its thing and not make the garlic tiny (example of issue I had). The 2.0.1 version is only one ESP and a swap list. It adds formIDs and cannot be made ESL as far as I know (fixed in 2.1). Thusly, I decided it better add all the forms. Supplies replacement forms for Base trees used by Shrubbery Symphony. Optional single swap list to replace all swap lists from Shrubbery Symphony with merged versions and the original so there is a ton of variety in plants. 


Verion 1

This mod adds new veggies, but not like those other mods. I am not adding veggies that do not exist in the game already. For that, get Google's New Fruits and Vegetables at Skyrim Special Edition Nexus - Mods and Community (nexusmods.com) and Kabu's Really Gourd Plant Replacer at Skyrim Special Edition Nexus - Mods and Community (nexusmods.com). This mod does not replace the base vegetables either. It just adds more variety. Right now, it adds 3 new types of tomatoes and 2 new potatoes, mixed in with the other veg at local vegetable stands and select interiors everywhere. It also changes the sizes of base game vegetables in numerous locations to make them the appropriate size for VR. This means your current veg meshes should be vanilla sized. If you downloaded 35% size tomatoes or something like that, they will be too small once this mod is applied.  Tomatoes at Carlotta's stand are still far bigger than elsewhere, though they are smaller than they used to be, except for some she keeps up on the counter. All garlic is now 65% original size (or close to it, since having veg of different sizes is also part of this mod). Eggs are no longer as big as the chicken they presumably come out of. Some cabbages are bigger. Some leeks are bigger. Apples are smaller, but Granny Sette are bigger than Red Delicious. Future updates to add even more new high-quality vegetables and destruction data to all tomatoes and eggs with appropriate goop explosions.
