What it does:

main file:

Logical Grass: Full Grass mod with meshes, textures and a plugin that increases the grass density and changes which grasses load on which landscape texture.

Lush Grass two: This is the Mod Lush Grass by SparrowPrince with a Plugin for it.

optional files:
Unrealistic Grass: only uses Green Grasses and has their density on 255 each.

remove stuff: not needed with logical grass or unrealistic grass, stops little rocks, kelp and shrubs from loading. can be used with grass mods

Miscellaneous:

DIY Plugin: an easy to customize grass plugin to make your own grass mod from
grass mesh resource: grass meshes i've made for anyone to use for their own mods

What they don't do:
-edit worldspace
-load unneccesary stuff like kelp, dead shrubs or pebbles/little rocks

why does it exist?
after trying out most grass mods on the nexus+dat grass i wanted to make a grass mod that fits my taste, doesn't kill my performance too much and doesn't edit things i don't understand so i made my own plugin that does that and decided to share it with everyone that has a similar taste.

compability:
should work with everything that doesn't change grass
please tell me if you find something that isn't compatible.

recommended settings:
skyrim.ini
[Grass]
iGrassCellRadius=2
bAllowCreateGrass=1
bAllowLoadGrass=0
bGrassPointLighting=1
b30GrassVS=0
iMaxGrassTypesPerTexure=3
iMinGrassSize=30-100 (low=dense grass, high=good performance) i recommend about 50 for logical grass and 70 for unrealistic grass.

if you got performance issues:
skyrimprefs.ini
[Display]
bShadowsOnGrass=0 (if you don't have issues, use 1)


recommended mods:
tamu75 Alternate aspen trees
vurt Flora Overhaul-i use only the textures because they are great and the meshes +esp kill my performance(still beautiful)
green LODs instead of yellow ones by zerwas1
Verdant clipping fixer by preum

to do list:

-redo v4 again because i lost it and didn't backup.

-improve performance even more (yeah i think some optimization is still possible)
