📋 About This Mod

A brand new grass patch using Cathedral 3D Pine Grass, Origins of Forest and Folkvangr.

This is not a sequel or continuation of my first patch, it is standalone and made from scratch. Although both patches share some of the same masters, each patch has its own distinct look and feel.

You may find that you prefer my original patch to this one or vice versa - give them both a try!

INSTALLATION

Required masters (load both the mods and plugins in this order):

3D Cathedral Pine Grass - Full 3D Coverage v0. 462

Origins of Forest v1. 4. 8

Folkvangr v1. 3

QW's Grass Patch 2

You can use any version of Origins of Forest. Personally I am using Tweaked Highlights.

Note that some of my recolors will overwrite some of the textures anyway.

You do NOT need to ESLify any of the masters.

If you want to ESLify these mods please refer to FAQ section

Feel free to remove the Folkvangr worldspace edits in xEdit and its landscape textures if you want to. It won’t affect my patch either way.

Do not remove the Worldspace edits in my patch or it will break the Solstheim grasses.

The patch includes some retextures and its own ini file

NEW!!!!! - DESATURATED TEXTURES - BY MECHANICALPANDA

MechanicalPanda has provided desaturated textures for my patch! They can be found here and come in both normal and complex grass compatible versions. No plugin so won't take up a space in your load order.

NEW!!!!! - QW's GRASS PATCH 2 - ORIGINS OF FOREST BEGONE! - BY MECHANICALPANDA

mechanicalpanda contacted me to provide a version of my patch which removes all traces of Origins of Forest (for those who like to see where they're going lol). This will also improve performance. The file is a replacer plugin for my patch. To install:

1. Install my patch and it's masters except for Origins of Forest ensuring correct load order. You also will not need the Complex Grass textures for Origins.

2. Hide or Delete the plugin in my patch. Do not delete anything else as you will still need the ini file and the meshes/textures

3. Install panda's Origins of Forest Begone! version from the Optional Files

4. Have fun

Thanks panda!
