Lush Synthesis

We've been blessed with a number of great grass mods over the years. I love them all - Vurt's wild designs and colors, Rytelier's textures (and Revenorror's efficient rework), Remiros' novel meshes. And I wanted all of them in my game. Oh, and I wanted some flowers. And more grass! And a pony! Therefore:

INSTALLATION

Step 1: extraction of files and ESP choices

There is no fancy installer. From the LUSH_ subfolders select and copy the ESPs that most closely match your mod loadout to any folder your prefer. If you are confused continue to read, it'll start making sense.

DO NOT ACTIVATE THE PLUGINS IN YOUR LOAD ORDER.

Available folders and plugins:

- LUSH_VANILLA and LUSH_BCOM folders

These folders contain plugins for the vanilla regions. The BCOM folder containing the same plugins as the VANILLA folder is compatible with BCOM core (and maybe with all the optional BCOM plugins, try it). For each vanilla region choose vanilla or BCOM, do not use both versions.

For Ascadian Isles there is an optional flowerfields plugin which adds a few flower fields throughout the region, you can install both or just LUSH_AI.

For Grazelands you must choose between regular and _trackless, install one or the other, not both. Trackless adds grass all over including the paths.

- LUSH_SO folder

Plugins for Solstheim. There is a Tomb of the Snow Prince (TOTSP) or Bloodmoon (BM) version, install one or the other, not both.

- LUSH_TR folder

Contains the Tamriel Rebuilt plugin for TR version 25.x - Grasping Fortune, will cause floating grass if used with other TR versions. There is a loose file version and a merged version, use one or the other, not both. Like vanilla, there is an optional AI flowerfields plugin.

- LUSH_UNDERWATER folder

The RI plugins contain green/brown sea grasses that start at river depth and go all the way down to the sea floor. The SE plugins contain an optional set of colorful deep sea grasses/corals that can be installed in addition to the RI plugins.

All RI/SE plugins except CYR cover vanilla areas plus additional areas; available combinations are with/without TR support (TR), with/without Waters of Morrowind support (WOM), and a choice between Bloodmoon (BM) and Tomb of the Snow Prince (TOTSP). Choose whichever is most appropriate for your load order. Each RI esp has an optional matching SE esp. You can use just the RI or combine it with the SE, as long as you use a matching pair suitable for your load order.
