📋 About This Mod
Makes every landscape covered in rich grass, made with vanilla aesthetics in HD. Lands will feel fuller and more lively with minimal to no performance cost on average PC.
UPDATE:
- Added slightly darker textures version that may look better with some ground textures, including these close to vanilla color
- Added vanilla edition of the textures - for vanilla graphics, blending with vanilla ground
- Every region covered, including Tamriel Rebuilt
- Vanilla style in HD
- Included Mesh Generator files to generate grass to landscape modified mod setup
FAQ:
- There are "Grass Vanilla" and "Grass Vanilla regions" folders, which one I use?
- You use only one of them. "Grass Vanilla" is full grass for a ll regions, "Grass Vanilla regions" are grass plugins split into individual regions
- What are differences between "Grass TR" and "Grass TR preview"?
- "Grass TR" is full grass for all the playable Tamriel Rebuilt areas, "Grass TR preview" is additional grass for Tamriel Rebuilt unfinished areas. Use both when generating grass when using Tamriel Rebuilt with TR preview enabled.
- Does this mod work with Rebirth?
- Yes, but you have to generate custom plugins for it, read the "Generating your own grass plugin". Remember - when generating grass for Rebirth, use only Rebith plugin in "data files to search", with no Morrowind.esm.
- How to use the generator when using Mod Organizer 2?
- You should rung Mesh Generator using Mod Organizer's executable running feature.
- I get grass in inappropriate places, like in cities, clipping through things.
- This is something to investigate. Because the generator is imperfect, grass will appear sometimes in bad places. I'll try to find a way to efficiently reduce these problems. Best would be building new grass generator, but this one is beyond my abilities, I'm sorry.
- Does it work in OpenMW?
- OpenMW currently doesn't have dedicated grass support like MGE does. While you can load grass as mod plugins in OpenMW, they will reduce the performance compared to using the MGE's dedicated grass feature.
- Latest MGE XE
- (optional for modded setups) Yacoby's Meh Generator
- (optional for large game world) 4gb Patch
- Drop all the files to Data Files folder. Works with Wrye Mash and Mod Organizer too.
- Do not enable grass plugins in the load order! Instead use Distant Land generator from MGE XE - when generating distant land, enable the grass plugins in it.
- Important: if your game world is big - uses Tamriel Rebuilt + TR Preview, you should apply 4gb Patch[
