Northern Cathedral Regional Grass (All-In-One)

This ESL-flagged plugin modifies placement of Cathedral Landscapes, Cathedral 3D Pine Grass and Northern Grasses, but does not modify any meshes/textures. Use this plugin as a full replacement for the older mods Northern Cathedral Reach Grass, Northern Cathedral Marsh Grass, Northern Cathedral 3D Pine Grass and Northern Cathedral Rift Grass.  Or if you prefer using only the individual regions, you can use the FOMOD installer to pick individual plugins instead (all are flagged ESL).

Compatibility with Northern Cathedral Grass

Because many have asked about how these plugins interact: NCG is a full blending of Northern and Cathedral in all parts of the world.  This plugin focuses specifically on 4 grass types of the world and is more like 80%/20% Cathedral/Northern.  While this plugin could conceivably be paired with NCG I cannot vouch for the results. Should you install the individual plugins from the FOMOD, they ARE complementary to one another.

No Grassias Extended or Ultimate will remove the last vestiges of the short green Cathedral grass so is recommended.  Landscape Fixes for Grass Mods, and Cathedral Plants are also recommended.
