📋 About This Mod
Some people thought the grass was to tall and bogged down their systems, so i created this mod that should shorten the grass by a good margine. 2. 0 changes Was told my estimates of 50% was wrong due to the fact of what i was editing was not the total height but a range. removed the ranges completely so the standard model is the only height of the plants you will see. 3. 0 Changes Now includes Shivering Isles.
