About this mod
This is a grass patch to combine the most popular grass mods on Nexus! (The Grass Your Mother Warned You About, Folkvangr, Veydogolt, Veydosebrom Regions, and Origins of the Forest)
The purpose of this grass patch is to combine the above mods and to eliminate grasses I didn't like from them, each grass was (mostly) hand-picked for each.
- Requirements
- Permissions and credits
- Changelogs
The purpose of this mod (other than to deal with my obsession with aesthetics and my pickiness) is to remove a lot of the 'ugly' looking grasses and to tailor each area in Skyrim to how I want it. I hand-picked each grass for each section and combined grasses from:
-The Grass Your Mother Warned About
-Folkvangr
-Veydosebrom Regions
-Veydogolt
-Origins of Forest
UPDATE: The Grass FPS Boost patch for this mod is up! Grass FPS Booster , download the fomod and select evoons grass patch!
Features:
-Tall orange wheat-like and tundra-like grass for the Whiterun tundra
-A brightly colored fall and spring-themed Rift with oranges, greens, and yellows
-Snow grass only in areas where the snow is thin, with mostly bare normal snow areas so you can actually see your snow texture
-A dense and green forest with lots of ferns and flowers perfect for getting lost in Falkreath
-Snowy, dead, dry, spooky-looking grass for the marsh
-Vibrant short green grass with clovers and other small plants for the Reach
Check images for more, there are also pictures uploaded for beach grass, underwater grass, and other areas
Things I removed or minimized, that other patches like QW's Grass Patches or Folkvangr - Voluptuous - Mother - Veydogolt patch
often still have in them:
-Thistle.png
Featuring the very obvious white outline around them
-Heather Bushes from Volkvangr
I hate them so much they were EVERYWHERE, I could not escape them
-Replaced 2D Daisies with The Grass Your Mother Warned You About's 3D Ones
^ (these are the 2d ones)
-Floating Spruce Trees/Bushes from The Grass Your Mother Warned You About
.....and more! Those are just some examples, not everything I removed/minimized
Also I don't have a picture of it but when I first made this patch both Origins of Forest and I think it was Veydogolt added Columbines everywhere in forests, which were the EXACT same mesh and texture as Cathedral 3d Mountain Flowers, which if you don't use the mod is great, but with the mod made it IMPOSSIBLE to find actual mountain flowers. I found it in Origins of the Forest and removed it from my patch but another mod was still making them spawn everywhere. I eventually found which grass mod it was after like 3 days of searching and removed them from the patch. This almost made me cry yall, you don't know the amount of pain this caused me trying to do any alchemy.
This mod will be updated in the future as I'm not totally satisfied with it yet, so feel free to leave a comment suggesting things to add, remove, or informing me of any bugs. This is the first mod I've ever made so make sure to report any possible issues and I'll try to take a look at them. I'm also a college student so I may be slow to reply sometimes! This mod should be compatible with any AE and SE both as far as I know, but I'm on SE 1.5.97 rn in case anyone isn't willing to risk it.
To Do:
Add/Remove flowers in different regions
Tweak Rift grass to be a bit less patchy and maybe have fewer leaves?
Add more variety to snow grasses
Add pictures for Soul Cairn grass
Make Falkreath forest grasses more distinct between the ferns and actual grasses by separating them into different landscape textures
Extra Resources:
ENB Complex Grass: to have your grass react to ENB parameters properly (it will change the coloring of the grass some and add vegetation shadows)

MANY texture mods, some big ones are Skyrim 202x and Skurkbro's Retexture Project, but some textures (such as my rock texture) are from other mods, just leave a comment asking what mod it's from if there's any specific texture you want to know about!
