📋 About This Mod
It's finally time to ditch the scripts with the new Graphic Herbalism!
The old scripted containers were one of the largest CPU sinks you could add to your game. Without the scripts, this new GH is optimal. All the old meshes have been optimized as well.
These meshes now work with OpenMW's native graphic herbalism, now available in their latest nightly!
Automatically harvests herbs just like the old Graphic Herbalism, but using the container's leveled lists. This means
it's compatible with any mod that alters the contents or containers
leveled lists, without patches.
MWSE Only Features:
The MWSE script adds tooltips so you can see what ingredients you're picking. It even hides effects depending on your alchemy skill.
Has MCM configuration menu, so you can tweak settings easily in-game. Current features include:
-
[]Turn tooltips on and off - if you're running another mod, like Quickloot, turning GH tooltips off will default to whichever mod handles tooltips next in the list.
[
]Turn message boxes on or off.[]Adjust volume of harvesting sound.
[]Blacklist and Whitelist tabs - pulls from all currently loaded mods to seach for organic containers.
