📋 About This Mod
After making Autumnal Equinox a long time ago, I have decided to add a little more flair to the grass portion of the mod.
If you are looking for short grass with proper visibility, full collisions, good performance fps and consistent theme, this might be the grass overhaul for you.
It combines the best of the BNS (Boston Natural Surroundings) grasses and BNS rocks, the short prewar-grasses, vanilla grasses and rocks, all retextured for proper autumnal feel - and also adds in all the Natural Grasses (and further shortening them by ~40% in the process). So great variety that all fit the various areas.
It is slightly more green than either vanilla or Natural Grasses, so it will go well with most tree overhauls also, but probably won't thematically fit a full summer-overhaul.
Not much else to say, give it a try!
Safe to add/remove on existing saves.
Requirements:
Natural Grasses and Groundcovers
Installation:
Just activate the esp and enjoy.
- Adjust the iMinGrassSize=30 in the included ini. Higher values means less dense grass but slightly more performance.
Extra:
The NoUnharvestablePlants esp disables all the non-harvestable, collision-less plants that your character just walks straight through.
- I recommended to activate it for the visuals and performance, but it is not essential. (Does not break precombs/previs).
Autumnal Grass Overhaul merges Autumnal Equinox Grasses with Natural Grasses And Groundcovers, shortening and color-consistifying grass for an autumnal look. It prioritizes performance and visibility, making it a solid choice for players seeking seasonal aesthetics without FPS loss.
