Velanimus Grass Overhaul

This mod, while functional, is currently not supported. I released a new grass mod on the Nexus, a little cleaner and alot more performance friendly, which can be found here.

This modification provides a convenient All-in-One solution for Skyrims grasses & grounds for the lazy modder. It comes with tons of new high-res grass textures to enhance your flora. Every region of Skyrim is overhauled with great care, creating a distinct and unique look. The mod does not only contain grass. Instead, it provides three things:

• []dozens of new grass models

  []ground textures that fit the colors of the grasses

  []terrain LOD that will make the grasses fade naturally into the horizonts, without creating visual distortion

  This mod was created with great diligence and provides some unique features:

  • []Grass is generally semi height and not too obtrusive. You won't have to desperately search that bandit corpse for one hour.

    []Every grass texture was created with a manually adjusted alpha threshold, meaning the grass will fade out naturally and become more and more invisible in the distance instead of just becoming a blocky texture. This should significantly reduce pop-up and the "fade-line" of loaded grass. This is the first grass mod I know of which does that.

    []Since v1. 2, the amount of grass models per Texture Type is adjusted so that you won't get weird-looking, angular areas lacking grass, which can be seen in other grass mods and is a result of a game engine bug. The landscape is evenly covered with grasses.

  • Added snowy brushes into the northern regions of Skyrim. Still a VIP to make them as seamless and believable as possible, but it should already provide a more refreshing view compared to a single plain snow texture all over the place.

    Because I have chosen a specific flora style for every region, please make sure to check the Screenshots before installing, to see if this mod fits your taste or not. Each region has its own color touch. For example, the forest is filled with spready, deep green grass, while there grey & brown swamp-grass in the Marsh.

    This grass mod increases the stress on the GPU (like any grass mod), so expect a performance drop dependent on your hardware. The impact sorely depends on how dense you want the grass to be, i. e. on your INI settings. Most users should use the 1k version.
