No Grassias - A Universal Grass Fix For Grass Mods

DESCRIPTION

No Grassias will fix most of the overgrown grass and grass clipping issues caused by using a grass mod. It is a universal fix and will fix issues in all vanilla and all modded areas. It can be used alone, but will work best when used in conjunction with other mods such as Landscape Fixes For Grass Mods, No grass in caves, No grass in Cities, and No Grass In Objects. If you are using Landscape Fixes For Grass Mods or No Grass In Objects, you still need this mod. Landscape Fixes For Grass Mods only has patches for the more popular settlement mods and doesn't cover newer mods, less popular mods, or unreleased mods. No Grass In Objects does a great job with grass and object clipping issues, but it doesn't handle non-clipping grass issues. No Grassias fixes issues by returning land textures to their vanilla state. It doesn't alter textures that have grass. This means that areas that are suppose to have grass will still be full of grass, but areas such as settlements, caves, clearings, and roads will be less overgrown. This mod doesn't fix grass issues caused by high grass density, tall grass, vanilla clipping issues, or custom land textures. If you see overgrown grass in the middle of the road or elsewhere while using this mod, that grass is supposed to be there. No Grassias does not remove any vanilla placed grass. It only prevents grass mods from adding grass to areas that didn't have grass in the vanilla game. Areas such as the roads in Dragon Bridge have grass in the middle of the road and look fine in the vanilla game. It's the taller grass and higher grass density from grass mods that makes it look overgrown. You will need Landscape Fixes For Grass Mods or No Grass In Objects to fix that. Your results with this mod will vary with the mods you are using. This mod can be added or removed at any time.

There are some confusion about this mod and its usage, so I'll try to simplify things here. No Grassias fixes issues caused by grass mods. It doesn't fix vanilla issues. Some grass mods add grass to land textures that do not originally have grass. This makes wilderness areas look great and full of grass. However, it does the opposite to player homes and settlement areas. No Grassias creates ITMs of the vanilla land textures. When it is loaded after grass mods, it will undo the changes made by grass mods. To put things simpler, grass mods throw grass seeds and fertilizer all over Skyrim. This makes wilderness areas look great, but makes settlement areas look not so great. What No Grassias does is say, "No thank you." to the grass seeds so that only the fertilizer gets thrown. The results are that areas that originally have grass will have fuller and taller grass, but areas that didn't have grass will remains grassless. No Grassias is a universal fix and will affect all of Skyrim (Skyrim.esm, Update.esm, Dawnguard.esm, Hearthfire.esm, and Dragonborn.esm). If
