📋 About This Mod
Performance Of The Gods
What it does
POTG removes majority of those environment statics that are basically just for show. No cell and worldspace records are touched. Performance gains depend on the areas you encounter of how many models aren't there at a time. The more models removed, the easier your rig will load the area and hold that smoothness.
Bugs
I haven't noticed any yet from testing
Compatibility
Recommend this version for users having high+ quality settings or don't want too many things removed from the game to break immersion. Removes grass, mist, dust, leaf piles, vines, brambles, shrubs, bushes (only the ugly ones), small hedges, debris, rubble, fallen branches, and hanging moss. Only some of these have been removed. The goal of this version is to give a little boost in performance and at the same time not notice a big difference of what's gone.
Extreme Version
Recommend this version for users that have low end computers and struggle to run FO4. Removes the same as the standard version but a lot more and there will be a little left of each type remaining. The goal of this version is to give a bigger boost of performance in game and at the cost of seeing more removed. The commonwealth will have a bland look somewhat.
Installation
The esp goes in your FO4 Data folder..... duh
Uninstallation
After removing the esp from your data folder or unchecking it from your mod manager list, it's totally safe for your save to do so. All the statics will return like they were.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 1,057 endorsements and nearly 30k downloads—this mod has proven its worth.
- Removes a ton of visual clutter without altering the game world, so you won't break quests or modded areas.
- Simple performance boost: no cell edits means fewer compatibility headaches with other mods.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2017—might not be fully compatible with the latest Skyrim version or other mods that add similar objects.
- Removing grass and bushes can make the world look barren and ugly in some areas, especially if you like lush landscapes.
For Skyrim players on low-end PCs who want a quick FPS boost without sacrificing the game's structure. Also for modders who want a cleaner base to build on. Skip if you're on a high-end rig or if you love the game's natural overgrowth.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since this mod removes grass and other objects, it's best to install it before you start a new game to avoid any weird pop-in.
- If you use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, let it handle the file placement to keep your Data folder clean.
- Pair this with a texture optimization mod for even better performance, but test for conflicts if you use mods that add similar objects.
