Seamless Grass Transitions

  • []Cathedral Weathers was built around Lightweight Grass Overhaul for seamless transitions between grass and landscape.

    []Many ENB's will break these carefully balanced transitions due to changes in lighting.

    []Dyndolod (Highly recommended but 100% optional) for improved Tree LOD models (distant trees). How To Install For Dummies - here,

    Horizon Seam Fix

    • []Cathedral Weathers hides the edge of the world by blending distant fog to the sky (specifically 28th cloud layer). Many ENB's will break this fix.

      []For ENB authors: ENB creation will benefit from weather-specific support via ENB Helper by Aers, especially because this mod contains multiple imagespaces.

      []For screen-archers: You may wish to use the Weather Selector power found in the Weather Creation Guide so that you can change weathers easily.
