This Is Viscous Foliage.
A very T H I C C grass mod. I can assure you it's as voluptuous as it sounds.
It includes many wild grasses and underbrush to complete anyone that's looking for a grass mod that can make you feel like your Skyrim is full of life.

Recommended Grass Settings:
skyrim.ini:
iMaxGrassTypesPerTexure=15
iMinGrassSize=60
(You can go as low as 50 but I would recommend most people with medium/high enb rigs to use 70 for gameplay and dense grass)
Authors Grass Settings:

Viscous Foliage is a Skyrim Special Edition mod that replaces the game's grass and undergrowth with denser, more natural-looking vegetation. It aims to give the world a wilder, more immersive feel. With over 2,000 endorsements and 69,000 downloads, it's a popular choice for players seeking visual overhauls.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 2,025 endorsements and nearly 70k downloads—clearly a lot of people dig it.
- Gives Skyrim's landscapes a wild, overgrown feel that makes exploration more immersive.
- Simple visual upgrade—no gameplay changes, just a fresh look for the tundra and forests.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2020, so it might not be fully compatible with the latest Skyrim SE patches or other mods.
- Dense grass can hit performance on lower-end rigs—expect a frame drop in heavy foliage areas.
- Might conflict with other grass or landscape overhauls, so you'll need to sort your load order carefully.
For Skyrim players who want a wilder, more natural landscape without overhauling the whole game. If you're into visual mods and don't mind a potential performance hit, this is a solid pick. Skip if you're on a potato PC or prefer a cleaner, more manicured look.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, install this and let it overwrite your other grass mods to avoid conflicts.
- Check your load order—place this mod after other landscape or grass mods to ensure it takes effect.
- If you notice stuttering, try reducing your grass density settings in the game's ini files.
