Lush and Gaudy Floriana Australis

*WARNING - if you're using one of my old L&G mods, be sure to delete the old Oblivion/Data/Trees folder before you install this version. If you don't, shit will surely hit the fan. (And yes, that is the right directory.)

Welcome to the latest instalment of all things lush and gaudy.

This is a texture replacement for trees, shrubs, long grasses, rocks, and ground covers.

The average resolution of the textures is 2048x2048. There are also medium (1024x1024) and low (512x512) resolution versions on offer.

Unlike previous L&G mods, this one is decidedly dull and arid - hence the DA in the esp name. (Let's be frank, there's no other way to put it when comparing it to other L&G mods.) There's also a certain level of uniformity to all the regions. While there are enough variations for a bit of interest, overall there's no major differences. The price of this uniformity is a lack of diversity. The payoff is smooth regional transitions, a vastly less complicated esp, and no clashing colours.

To accommodate some of the drastic changes to the Jerall Mountains (going from snow to completely dry) I've included an optional tweak to get rid of the falling snow for those who don't want to blow their immersion to pieces.

The main Lush & Gaudy DA.esp file MUST be activated for this mod to work properly. It won't clash with any other mods you might be running and unlike the nightmare esp files of Floriana Gloria, this one is small and simple, but still makes a few vital changes. (All of which are explained further down if you really want to get picky.)

Enjoy all the decidedly dull frippery...or not.

Before you do anything else, if you were running an old Lush and Gaudy FG or whatever, make sure you delete the Oblivion/Data/Trees folder before proceeding. We don't want that shit to hit the fan, do we?...well...maybe you do.

1:) Copy the Data folder to your Oblivion directory. If asked to over-write any existing files, say yes.

2:) Activate the Lush & Gaudy DA.esp file.

3:) Choose (or ignore) any of the optional goodies you want. Copy the Data folders of your choice to your Oblivion directory. If asked to over-write any existing files, say yes.

4:) Do a BSA Redirection with a tool like OBMM if you're feeling sanitary. Skip it if you're not.

6:) Multiple choices from here on:

A: Complain about the mod to mod author because it's not how you would have done it. B: Compliment modder on mod an
