I'm able to use Grass rebirth 1, but if I load Grass rebirth 2, I get an expression id error having to do with Frostmoth. Gr1 runs fine, but the second one produces the error.
Does it work without any workarounds, like straight away with just installing Aesthesia? I'm trying to manually install and don't want to take unnecessary risks here :)
With Morrowind Rebirth 5.6 and Asethesia Groundcover installed, the manual download file fails to install. Possible problem is the Grass rebirth 5.6 only includes Grass rebirth 1.esp and Grass rebirth 2.esp. There is no " Grass Bloodmoon.esp " as mentioned in the Installation instructions. Adding the esp would be nice.
I'm pretty sure the mod works only with it's respective rebirth version, this mod only seems to be updated for 5.6 but not for 5.7 so you'd have to wait for the author to update it.
Here is what i did to make it work: (i think there are multiple ways to do this but i only know of the MGE XE way, and it works flawlessly for me so i'ma share it)
1) from this mod (Grass for Morrowind Rebirth 5.4), i have extracted the "Grass rebirth 1.esp" and "Grass rebirth 2.esp" files in the GAMEDIR\Data Files folder
4) followed the tutorial steps listed in the original Aesthethia Groundcover mod (mentioned here in step 2 ---> just go to the description page of that mod, there you have a step-by-step easy to understand tutorial in how to install the grass...or at least the first steps)
BUTHERE IT CAN GET TRICKY: remember that during the MGE XE Distand Land Setup - the selected plugins can be different! It depends on what modpack you have installed! In the tutorial described on the Aesthesia Groundcover page, you have examples of what to tick when you have the TAMRIEL REBUILT mod.
Since the distand land setup itself is not detailed in that tutorial, i will continue from here with my personal explanation.
I do not have Tamriel rebuilt =>when using "Distant Lands Setup Wizard" , the plugins ticked should be: -Morrowind.esm -Tribunal.esm -Bloodmoon.esm -Grass rebirth 1.esm (from this mod) -Grass rebirth 2.esm (same) -Grass bloodmoon.esm (from the mod @ step 2)
5) After hiting CONTINUE you are still in the Distant Lands Setup Wizard, but on the next tab
So here just select the resolution depending on your system and hit "Create Land Textures".
6) You are now on the 3rd tab, with "Land Meshes". Same principle, select quality depending on your rig. And remember to be patient for the green bar on the bottom left to fully load, then continue to the next step.
7) The fourth tab is the STATICS tab, were you have to be careful of the following:
7a)Min static size is (from reddit) "the minimum value is how small a static can be and still be drawn". So more of the smaller ones will appear in the distance. So, in theory, if you have a powerfuly rig, you can make that thing very low so that small rocks, road signs and other things appear from farther away. 7b)Grass density is important because i read on forums that high numbers can make grass appear on roads and in front of buildings. !!! The most stable percentages for grass density i read/heard so far were 60-80% but i have 90% and so far i have not experienced grass outside of its designated zones (only got 10 hours ingame with this setup tho, barely managed to explore the vecinity of Seyda Neen and of Balmora's...but so far everything is perfect). !!!
8) Hit "Create Statics" and exercise patience because this step takes the longest. And you are done.
9) Start the game and make sure that the .esm files mentioned in step 1) and 2) ARE NOT TICKED IN THE Morrowind Launcher program
Epilogue: This method, if done correctly, should be free of bugs (i also have experienced the floating grass glitch but that happens only when you have messed something up). If i made it work, then so can you!
I believe I have installed this incorrectly, I followed the directions in the description and while this has removed all the floating grass as far as I can see, in balmora there's a lot of grass in the streets and paths. Is this intentional or did I improperly install this?

Waiting for an update...

3) i got Morrowind Graphics Extender from here?

Good luck, n'wahs! I hope this helped!
Edit: I'm an idiot. Missed one step but it works now.
Is there a simple fix for this?
