Description:

--------------

A blend of Grass, Dry Plants and Fern carefully photographied and transposed into the game.
3 textures and 7 meshes modified.

Comes in two different versions both in 4K & 2K. New Mushrooms in 2K & Point Lookout DLC's Grass are coming right now in Optional Files.
You can use both Grass & Mushrooms at the same time but install only one version of each ones at time.

Actually, a simple replacement Mod, No Esp. Feedback is welcome.
In an undetermined futur this will be updated to a complete overhaul.
