📋 About This Mod

rGKXqteAOnoFeatures - THIS MOD IS A WORK IN PROGRESS

  • []New grass for each hold (not much variety at this stage, however).

    []Shorter, stylized grass that won't obscure gameplay.

    []Saturated, summertime aesthetic.

    Please note

    • []This mod not include landscape textures or snow grass at the moment. I will create a list of the ones I use, but I suggest picking individually from Pfuscher's work and Tamrielic Textures.

      []This mod currently includes GREEN grass for the Reach, the Rift and the Tundra - this is a summer mod, I will look into Autumn variants later.

      []This mod is not very optimized, and will eat your framerate.

      []This mod was designed for personal use with Rudy ENB / Obsidian Weathers, I can't vouch for how it will look on any other setup.

      []For a better optimized, more well-rounded grass modification, I'd recommend JonnyWang13's Cathedral Landscapes. (don't combine them, i mean as an alternative).

      Use these ini grass settings for best results:

      iMaxGrassTypesPerTexure=15

      iMinGrassSize=60

        This mod wouldn't exist without Mindflux's 'Shortgrass', it's the star of the show. Check out his flickr.

        Installation

        • []Like any other mod. Use a mod manager.

          []Uninstall your current grass mod before installing this one lol.

          FAQ

          • []What ENB are you using bruh? The ENB in my video and screenshots is a modified version of Rudy ENB for Obsidian Weathers, my Obsidian Weathers is also modified.

            []What texture is that thing in your video? Almost every single one of my textures is modified in some way, even if it's just a basic HUE/brightness edit. I can provide a more comprehensive list if required.

          • My grass is really bright even in shadow. This is probably because you're using a different ENB, with different settings, or no ENB at all. You can adjust grass brightness with ENB in the 'Grass' settings of your ENB menu. I will create a darker variant if enough people have this problem.

🤖 AI-enhanced — based on mod data

Midsummer is a work-in-progress grass overhaul for Skyrim SE that adds shorter, stylized green grass to the Reach, the Rift, and the Tundra, aiming for a saturated summertime look. It's designed for use with Rudy ENB and Obsidian Weathers, and the author warns it's not optimized and will impact framerate. With 559 endorsements, it's a niche choice for players seeking a specific aesthetic over performance.
