📋 About This Mod
Do you love grass mods but hate grass clipping through your shrines, entrances, and campfires?
Do you hate not being able to find your plants and flowers for alchemy because grass covers it all?
Do you make/manage mods and dread having to make another compatibility patch?
I can fix that for you!
Introducing Lawnmower, Grassblocker, Grassclipper, and Weedwhacker to make your life easier. Iincludes lawnmowered patches for your favorite grass mods!
I'm not great at writing documentation, but the inimitable MassiveJuice has worked hard on a wiki article:
https://morrowind-modding.github.io/guides/groundcover/lawnmower-tutorial
if you're feeling adventurous, read on below.
0. if you're not interested in running scripts, you can stop reading and just grab a pregenerated patch for the supported grass mods.
(I would recommend reading the "using the patches" section below though)
1. Lawnmower will clean grassmods faster, better, and more consistently than you can and removes 99% of unwanted&clipping grass.
2. batch-chaining these scripts can make your post-modding grass patch generation completely hands-off.
3. includes grassblocker for mod authors/patch maintainers. It will clean that final 1% automatically for you on any mod update (some setup required).
Using the Patches:
YOU WILL NEED THE ORIGINAL MOD(S) FOR THE TEXTURES+MESHES. Then just drop the patches for the mod(s) you use in your data folder and
overwrite when asked.
OpenMWusers are done at this point (assuming they already had the groundcover entries active) and can enjoy the non-clipping grass bonanza, MGE users will have to regenerate distant terrain I think. I've not manually cleaned out the patches further, so there might still be some grass in odd places, but I think you'll agree it's a lot cleaner.
Aside from updating my own grass mod with lawnmower (+some extra manual cleaning love), I made and included lawnmowered patches for Aesthesia Reworked, Remiros' groundcover, Ozzy's groundcover (not on Nexus), and Vurt's groundcover.
Using the Scripts:Prerequisites:
[*]the source mods, scripts, and tes3conv all need to be in the same folder to run. If you use MO2 or some other VFS shenanigans, it's on you to figure out how to make that happen (using VFS explorer, perhaps?). Afterwards you can move the standalone output file wherever you want
The LawnMower is a Morrowind utility that automatically removes grass clipping through objects, cleaning up grass mods faster and more consistently than manual editing. It includes pre-processed patches for popular grass mods, making it a practical tool for players using grass overhauls.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Solves a common annoyance with grass mods—no more grass poking through walls and floors.
- Pre-processed patches save you the hassle of doing it yourself.
- Decent community support with 99 endorsements and over 2,300 downloads.
⚠️ Cons
- Only 99 endorsements—might not be as battle-tested as more popular utilities.
- No explicit instructions on which grass mods are covered by the patches.
- Last updated in June 2025—could be outdated if newer grass mods have appeared since.
For Morrowind players who use grass mods and are tired of clipping through objects. If you're a modder or a perfectionist who wants clean visuals without spending hours manually adjusting grass placement, this is a must-have. Skip if you don't use grass mods or don't mind the clipping.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have a grass mod installed first—this tool cleans up existing grass, it doesn't add any.
- Check the included patches to see if your specific grass mod is covered; if not, you may need to run the tool manually.
- Since it's a utility, run it after installing your grass mod and before you start a new playthrough to avoid issues.
