🤖 AI-enhanced — based on mod data

High Poly Creep Clusters (But Not Too High) is a Skyrim mod that replaces vanilla creep cluster plants, including the Dragonborn DLC ash variant, with fully 3D models. It uses re-mapped Vanilla Remastered textures to preserve the original look while boosting triangle counts roughly 6x. A niche visual upgrade for players wanting higher fidelity flora without extreme poly counts.

✨ Key Features

Replaces vanilla creep cluster plants with fully 3D models, including the ash creep cluster from Dragonborn DLC.
Includes minor smoothing and UV tweaks to ingredient models.
Uses re-mapped Vanilla Remastered (Optimized) textures to maintain vanilla appearance at higher resolution.
Provides model comparison stats: e.g., floracreepcluster01 goes from 911 to 6737 triangles.
Part of the 'Not Too High' series, with other models for swamp fungal pods, pearls, salmon roe, and tomatoes.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Community-approved with 251 endorsements and 7,763 downloads, showing solid traction.
  • Fully 3D models give a noticeable visual upgrade while keeping the vanilla art style intact.
  • Includes both base game and Dragonborn DLC variants, so you're covered everywhere.

⚠️ Cons

  • Triangle count jumps roughly 6x, which could impact performance on lower-end rigs.
  • Author notes visible UV seams up close, so perfectionists might notice flaws.
  • Requires the Vanilla Remastered texture mod as a dependency, adding an extra install step.
🎯 Is This For You?
For Skyrim players who want higher-poly flora without overhauling the entire game's look. If you're into visual enhancements but prefer subtle upgrades over total conversions, this fits. Skip if you're on a potato PC or don't care about plant detail.
📦 Install:Medium· 5-10 minutes

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to handle the file structure and avoid overwriting vanilla meshes.
  • Since it's a mesh replacer, load order doesn't matter much, but ensure the texture mod is installed first.
  • If you notice seams, try adjusting your anisotropic filtering settings in the game's launcher to reduce texture blurring.
