📋 About This Mod
- ----------------------------------------------
- LUSH & GAUDY TROPICAL FRIPPERY 1. 1
- -----------------------------------------------
Welcome to v1. 1 of the billionth installment of all things lush and obscenely gaudy.
This is a texture replacement for trees, shrubs, long grasses, rocks, and ground covers.
As usual, there are three resolutions to choose from. High (2048x2048), Medium (1024x1024), and Low (512x512 - comparable to Vanilla Oblivion for retarded computers.)
v1. 1 brings much softer colours, more regional variety, and infinitely better regional transitions. The Jerall Mountains have returned to their snowy roots, the Colovian Highlands have dried out, there's even a patch of Autumnal colour, and the GC makes a return to the Outback. In-between that, there is enough tropical frippery and deserts to please even the most anal consumer.
The main Lush & Gaudy Tropical Frippery.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.)
The Palms esp files 1 and 2 are technically optional, but I personally consider them to be stylistically vital. Together they add an insane number of palm trees to the game. Without them, you're not looking quite so tropical, are you?
There's a nice little Viagra (low poly) grass pack for those of you with performance issues.
In addition, there is now an optional L&G CH Trees pack which will help fill out the rather bare parts of the Colovian Highlands (the removed trees were due to my inability to find a tree type to replace the white pines which were shared across too many regions to work stylistically.) Please be aware that you MUST use TES4LODGen by ElminsterAU which can be downloaded here: http://www.nexusmods.com/oblivion/mods/15781/? (Please remember to endorse. It's a great tool.)
Hopefully a few of you will enjoy having a stroll through this infernal creation.

- TO INSTALL
- --------------
1:) Copy the Data folder to your Oblivion directory. If asked to over-write any existing files, say yes.
2:) Activate the Lush & Gaudy Tropical Frippery.esp file. (If you're planning to use the Lush and Gaudy Palms.esp files, activate both of them too at this point.)
3:) If you plan to use the Viagra grass, copy that Data folder 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.
