✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 198 endorsements and over 5k downloads.
- Fixes visible mesh issues like holes and clipping leaves.
- Optional higher-poly meshes add detail without huge performance cost (only ~50 triangles).
⚠️ Cons

- Higher-poly options may slightly impact performance on low-end systems.
- Only affects yellow shrubs, so visual consistency with other flora mods may vary.
For Skyrim modders who want improved shrub visuals without overhauling the entire landscape. If you use Shrubs of Snow or Turn of the Seasons, this mod is designed to work with them, but you'll need to manage load order. Skip if you're looking for gameplay changes—this is purely cosmetic.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to install the FOMOD and select your desired options.
- If using Shrubs of Snow, ensure this mod loads after it in your load order to win conflicts.
- For Turn of the Seasons, download the optional patch and merge it with the main file, then place this mod after.
