kyrim Flora Overhaul is a mod project dedicated to overhauling the Skyrim landscape with more varied and better looking flora.This mod requires iMaxGrassTypesPerTexure=7 in your skyrim.ini (put it below section) make sure you spell it exactly like that (use copy/paste), and yes it's supposed to be spelled "texure". SKyrim.ini is located in your /my documents/my games/skryim folder. You can use the start button and put in skyrim.ini the search field to find it quickly, open the file with Notepad to edit it.

anual Installation
Drag / drop the "data" folder from the . 7z archive to your Skyrim folder (... Steam/steamapps/common/skyrim ) Please understand that i can not give support for sorting out uninstallation problems if you installed the mod manually and are unfamiliar with the folder structures and files. If you are, then please use the Nexus Mod Manager instead.
FAQ:
My grass is not "lush" even though i did the .ini changes!
From the user Alexmancer: "Mod Organizer stores .ini files in its own profile folder. To edit those ini files, you need to click on the button at the top left that looks like puzzle pieces. From there you will see the ini editor. Click on that, and you can modify Skyrim.ini or SkyrimPrefs.ini. For more information, I recommend checking STEP's Mod Organizer guide."
How do i generate better looking LOD's with TES5LODGen?
It's very easy. Download the file "Billboards for v2. 5b" (in Main Files). Install this file and then run TES5LODGen. Here's an image of how it should look before you hit "Generate", you can play around with texture sizes if you get a big performance drop.
The 2D LOD tree is smaller / taller than the actual 3D tree mesh! Can you fix this?
This will happen sometimes since a 2D LOD tree has just one size while the 3D mesh can have any size. Sometimes Bethesda varied the size when they placed a tree, and if they did, the LOD will not reflect this change. Same thing if the 3D mesh is tilting, the 2D LOD will not reflect this change.
So it's not possible to get perfect LOD sizes unfortunately.
Some trees are just "sticks" with no leaves or branches!?
The user unholy3234 writes: "In my skyrimprefs.ini under I had set fUpdateBudget=0. Removing the line solved the issue."
