📋 About This Mod
What will be replaced?
The FOMOD will allow you to replace Dead Shrubs, Thickets, and/or Reach Bushes. You can replace them all or select which ones you want to replace.
Dead Shrubs and Thickets have ash, snow, and non-snow models. Reach Bushes have snow (works with Shrubs of Snow) and non-snow models.
Performance
These should perform exam like vanilla dead shrubs and thickets. Although they don't utilize the same meshes as vanilla, they are still low poly meshes.
If you choose 4k textures, these will consume more VRAM than the vanilla version of the plants. Keep your VRAM limitations in mind when selecting a texture size. In general, 1k is good if you don't have a lot of VRAM to work with, 2k is a good all around resolution, and 4k is only for if you really want to look at things up close and have plenty of VRAM to spare.
