I love Cathedral mods. I use just about every Cathedral mod made available on the Nexus. So please guys keep up the good work. This mod is my personal preference which blends grasses from Cathedral Landscapes, Skoglendi, and 3D Pines Grass. I hand picked grasses for each region with visuals and performance in mind.
In some areas like the Rift you will notice a much leaner grass profile. Another area I considered was grass clipping. While Landscape Fixes for Grass Mods and Cathedral both do a great job at minimizing this effect, it is still noticeable. You will have much cleaner areas as you explore though still not perfect.
The Volcanic area is problematic. I stayed true to Cathedral's vision and pushed most records into the patch. The tiling effect on certain textures is perplexing and I see most other grass mods with the same issue.
Snow grass... the entire reason I started this project was foreverphoenix's Cathedral Landscapes - Swamp Grass Alternatives. I used his idea for these areas and in my opinion it looks fantastic. The grasses exemplify the cold in the marsh and snowy regions.
The Reach is a complete mashup of all three mods. I attempted to keep a uniform grass height with as much diversity as possible.
With the Pine Forests I once again forwarded most of the changes brought by 3D Pines Grass with a few tweaks.
For Whiterun I increased the amount of pure grass from Cathedral Landscapes with the brown tundra in mind. There are a few spots I left some green grass in for diversity.
