📋 About This Mod

As you can see, vanilla scrub mesh has a large noticeble spikes on top. Have you ever wanted to get rid of it? Personally, yes.

This model is just tweaker vanilla mesh. All changes in verticies was made with NifSkope.

This mesh edit can look better/worse with other textures, keep in mind.
