PERFORMANCE

This mod offers lush grass while maintaining good performance, but if you want better performance you can always tweak the grass density to be lower.

1. Find your Skyrim.ini

2. Look for iMinGrassSize=xx and set it to a different value. I use 60, but higher value = more fps, less density, lower value = less fps, higher density (For potato PCs you can even go as high as 100, but I wouldn't recommend going below 40 even for the most powerful of rigs.

3. Save and exit the .ini

I personally have an RTX 2060 card and I get 60fps at 60 density - use that as a guideline if you wish to do so
