Far Cry inspired Grass - Expanded

A modifcation for Oblivion with patch 1.2.0416 by Laulajatar.
Version 1.1


Description
-----------

I just love the Far Cry inspired Grass by Betty. Even with moderate grass density, it creates beautiful, fluffy meadows.

This mod takes that grass and expands it to other areas of Cyrodiil and even the Shivering Isles and the Paradise. I aimed to replace roughly half of the vanilla grasses, leaving some of the regional grasses in. It's not perfect in all areas - some have little ground texture diversity and the replaced grass looks a bit too clean for wilderness. Most areas turned out pretty nice though, with patches of heather and gorse throughout.
I tried to stick closely to the replaced original color schemes of the replaced grasses, so this mod should not cause any issues with lanscape altering mods. I wouldn't recommend using it with any other grass replacer mods, as they will probably overwrite each other. You can certainly try, if you use a proper mod manager (which you should!) the worst that can happen is that it looks bad and you uninstall again.

In version 1.1 I restored some unique features of vanilla grasses; ferns in the west weald, ears at the gold coast etc. There are now 3 options:
00 Core installs the grass with all vanilla features. It is required.
10 Optional all plain like 1.0 makes all grasses plain, like in 1.0
10 Optional only highlands plain makes only the grass in the colovian highlands plain again. You can see the difference at Fort Rayles.



Known Issues
------------

At some spots there are some tufts of grass that are sticking out of the ground at a weird angle. I don't even want to start guessing why.

Some vanilla grass behaviour (vanishing when turning camera etc) might be just as visible or more visible with this mod.



Installation
------------

Just install it like you install any other mod (please use a mod manager, for your own sanity). Make sure to select the "00 Core" folder, then any of the "10 Optional..." folders, if you want their features.



Update from 1.0
---------------

Make sure to fully uninstall 1.0 before installing 1.1.



Requirements
------------

None
