📋 About This Mod
Origins of Forest is a really beautiful mod which greatly enhances the forests of skyrim. It adds tons of visual quality to the game's nature.
In some places, this mod just adds TOO much grass and makes it less immerssive and more disturbing than fun. This is where THIS mod comes in. I patched a few places that Origins of Forest overwhelms with nature a little bit too much.
OPENED PERMISIONS to update and make changes to this mod. I do not use Origins of Forest anymore.

Slider Comparison
This is to show you why this mod exists and why I also cleared the Area near Anise's Cabin. As you'll see in the spoiler, there is a corpse hidden under those lushfull plants which is impossible to see without this mod.
What this mod covers up to now
You can get a good interactive location map here if you want to know more specifically where I edited the terrain.
The Lunar Lorkhan
This is a bandit camp near a small waterbed south of Pinewatch, West of Helgen.
- Cleared the camp since it was completely covered in grass and forest shrubs.
Purloined Shadows
Just a bit south-east of Lunar Lorkhan, higher in the waterfall is an abandoned cabin with some burnt corpses.
- Cleared the area around and inside the cabin.
Riverwood Fishing Location (near the bridge)
- Cleared the tall grass from that location near the riverbed (For those using the Anniversary Edition, it clears the area around the fishing rod)
v1. 1. 0: Changed the grass around the area. My modded game was showing dried out grass so made it more forest looking and lushfull for a riverside bed
Lakeview Manor
- No more plants everywhere arround the manor. You won't loose your chickens as easily now.
- Cleaned up the paths near every stairway.
- Made the workbench area and smelter clear
- Cleared the area arround the clay pit and log pile
- Cleared the area arround the beehive and horse stable
- Cleared the area in the animal den and garden
Anise's Cabin's small event spawning location just before the fallen tree trunk (see screenshots)
- I removed pretty much all of the tall flora which is now mostly pine forest ground
- Cleared the way to the hill going to the cabin from Riverwood so you can try a shot with an arrow to shoot the misf

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved fix with 461 endorsements and over 14k downloads—clearly a lot of players wanted this.
- Targets specific problem spots instead of a blanket nerf, so you keep Origins of Forest's beauty where it works.
- Author opened permissions, so if you're savvy you can tweak it further or someone else can keep it alive.
⚠️ Cons
- Only covers a handful of locations (Lunar Lorkhan, Purloined Shadows, Anise's Cabin area), so other overgrown spots may remain.
- Last updated in January 2022, so it might not be compatible with newer versions of Origins of Forest or Skyrim updates.
- Since it's a patch for Origins of Forest, it's useless without that mod—make sure you have it installed first.
For Skyrim players who love Origins of Forest's enhanced forests but find the excessive grass breaking immersion or hiding important details. If you're a completionist who wants to see every corpse and lootable, this patch is a must. Skip if you don't use Origins of Forest or if you prefer untouched overgrowth.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have Origins of Forest installed and activated before adding this patch, and load the patch after it in your mod order.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to install—it's just a simple file drop, but a manager keeps things tidy.
- If you're using other grass mods, test the patched areas (like Lunar Lorkhan) to ensure no conflicts with your load order.
