While I like the recolouring of this mod, and the texture files look cool when seen in a dds viewer/editor, sadly it often doesn't end up looking good in-game, imho. Also note the old original mod was deleted from Nexus. The problem is not this recolour but the original texture itself - it's solid instead of straggly, the leaves are all the same size, and in a simple repeating pattern (and the game doesn't vary the texture sizes).
This is exacerbated by the lack of normal and specular maps (maybe they were in the now deleted parent mod?). Small-leaf, straggly vanilla-like vines might be able to get away without them but it's definitely needed with fat textures like this. And made worse by the way the game often poorly places vine textures so they stick out/up at odd angles (eg, the church in Nattick I was on just yesterday, ends up looking like it's got a thick hedgerow sticking out the top of its roof). So while you can sometimes end up with a good look with this mod, in snapshot, in certain light, and where the game has placed it well, more often than not this texture looks too heavy, too solid, too flat and monotonous.
But the mod Natural Green was inspired by A Little Bit of Green and, imho, includes good vines (and mossvines too) - they aren't pretty vines, but vanilla-style ones redone in a better quality, and better suited to the poor way the game sometimes uses/places such textures.
Very Nice, sadly they not fit very well in my modded Game (a bit more dead and faded). I know it's a big Request but if you find the time could you make a version that matches these "https://www.nexusmods.com/fallout4/mods/34849" or at least a bit more brown? That would be Perfect.
