📋 About This Mod
-= Description =-
This mod completely overhauls the grass in The Rift.
The grass is completly green and has a summer-y/fantasy style.
Because it only changes the Rift area, it's recommended that you have another grass mod and let this one overwrite it.
Recommended: Green and Lush Aspen Trees SE.
Legendary Edition version available here (by vsmods97)
-= Technical Details =-
Mod textures are in 1k
Textures and models are unique (using unique file names so this mod doesn't overwrite your main grass mod's grasses).
Textures were modified so they have the same base color
All assets have the prefix "RIFT_", with exception of the Plugin File.
The original names are still in the files.

Riften Summer Edition replaces the grass in The Rift with a lush, fantasy-style green, giving the region a summer vibe. A simple environmental overhaul for Skyrim players who want a brighter, more vibrant Riften without changing other aspects of the game.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved (323 endorsements) with a solid download count (6,023).
- Simple, focused change—just grass in The Rift, no bloat.
- Last updated in 2021, so it's stable and unlikely to break your game.
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects grass—if you want a full summer overhaul, this won't cut it.
- Might clash with other grass mods that also edit The Rift's landscape.
- No recent updates since 2021, so compatibility with newer Skyrim versions is a gamble.
For Skyrim players who want a quick, cheerful makeover for The Rift's dreary grass without overhauling the whole game. Skip if you're looking for a comprehensive seasonal mod or if you already use a grass mod that touches the same area.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, just download and install—it's a simple file drop.
- Check your load order to make sure this mod loads after any other grass mods to avoid conflicts.
- In-game, fast-travel to Riften to see the change immediately; if you don't see it, verify the mod is enabled.
