Update (sort of) ========================== The main files and the INI are now separate. What this means is this:
The main file contains all the color changes to grass, trees, etc. This still functions as normal. However, you're gonna have the vanilla amount of trees vs more like the mod is intended to have. Your grass is also gonna be vanilla levels of density and sparse. To explain further:
The OPTIONAL/NOT REQUIRED ini disables these lines
bUseCombinedObjects=0 bUsePreCreatedSCOL=0
It does this to create denser more clustered trees. The cost of this is performance, while risking HEAVY compatibility problems due to precombines being disabled. At the time this mod originally came out, this was the norm to enable new things being put into the game without risk of issues(how naive we were). This also means mods like PRP will have issues potentially, or mods that also edit cells(you can try loading this mod before or after to see if that helps). I've uploaded 2 images demonstrating what this file does with 2 other mods enabled which are Autumn Overhaul and Grasslands. Either use it or don't based on preference of performance. The mod is intended to use this, but it's up to you.
It looks like Monet jazzed up his color palette. Incredible. Don't remember ever seeing this either, and I've always scooped up Spifferino's mods soon as I see them. I'll have to give it a try after offering sacrifice for the safety of my retinas.
maybe YOU can lol mfs cant upload a mod out here without becoming the respective god of that thing. its the epitome of 'give an inch and they take a mile'
That's out of my wheelhouse, and im not sure if that's an actual suggestion or a joke lol. None the less, you're asking for something that probably can't work or involves someone who's far more skilled than 90% of people on here.
That said, install Mary Jane by AITookMyJob (formerly Innocent) and watch as it all goes two stages higher (heh, "higher"!) in saturation when you light up a joint.
Except in the description it quite literally says so. By Spiff. Also, you can remove the INI, or delete those lines while leaving the grass tweaks alone. Either or, it was uploaded as is from the condition it was left in...nearly 9-10 years ago lol.
Don't get defensive, i know the condition, 9 years ago a lot of the moders broke precombines and didn't give a damn, im warning others about this mod because it does evidently switch off the precombined data for appearance sake, and so should you.
You're projecting, they're not getting defensive. You might be "warning others" by saying that they're "not told" something, but that is incorrect. Good job on knowing the condition for 9 years, here's a cookie
This mod is less broken than the game with its broken PreCombine PreVis logic for modders. It was an emergency act to finish the game before going wild with 76... you can still play the game with current hardware with almost no difference when using this mod. If you run on a potatoe with DDR123 ram you will probably have a problem.
we used to break precombines for the sake of adding new stuff, which included denser forests. Tookiejones, author of the deleted Commonwealth connifers, i believe used to recommend these 2 lines set to 0 for the sake of the mod being at its fullest potential. Otherwise you had an ugly "diet" forest look, which looked more like a crappy Fallout 3 forest mod from 2009.
Yeah, now believe in optimization and fixing the game to the max. Yeah, nowadays we set those lines to 1. But once upon time the game ran like hot ass and we didn't care. My old account has so many crazy forest screenshots while having these line set to 0, how our PC's weren't on fire is the real life bug/glitch.
Not compatible with the mod "Mysteries of the Commonwealth". Crash to desktop at the ranger's cabin near Abernathy farm. With only No Man's Wasteland running ...no crash. With only Mysteries of the Commonwealth running ...no crash. With both of them running crash every time you approach the cabin.
Probably never saw something better than this for FO4 concerning landscape. Absolute creativity benchmark. It is also a good showcase on how good the engine is. Many people think U5 will revolutionize all, in fact U5 engine is not so good for open world. BGS is still far ahead in many aspects...
This mod is gorgeous! It works great with my other environmental mods so far. I love that it gives the wasteland a bit of an alien look, kind of like the cranberry bog in 76. I really hope this is made available on XBOX. There is nothing like this on console. Great work!
Looks amazing! If I could make 1 suggestion, change the blue tree leave to purple. They stand out a little too much, to me. The blue flowers or grass looks fine tho.

Look within the files
[General]
bUseCombinedObjects=0
bUsePreCreatedSCOL=0
It will tank your performance unless the precombines are regenerated and fixed
Enough said.

Otherwise, it's fine installed in the middle of a save, with Next Gen.
Uninstalling the mod realived the parrot, so alls good.
