OPTIMIZED GRASS SPRITES
Reduced texture resolution and mesh size reduced for smaller grass size which creates better fading effect at the view distance.
Special Edition textures we're upscaled by Bethesda to 1-2k causing many performance issues when game was drawing 3-4 different grass types on the screen.

There is a better suited alternative to my mod currently. Simply download Verdant Grass, which is obviously the best grass mod out there it also has alternative 1k textures so it has extra guaranteed performance. Inside Skyrim.ini settings lower iMaxGrassTypesPerTexure to something like 4 or lower and set density iMinGrassSize to 70 or higher, if you use Verdant it also has it's own config file in your Data folder. The way grass works in Skyrim, each grass texture is a separate file rather than one sprite sheet, so the more grass variations you have in the current cell you're in, the more it causes your performance to suffer as it loads unique texture files for each grass, increased load strain on your system.
To get even more performance I strongly suggest downloading Optimized Textures for SSE in BSA version. then you can install your texture hd mods on top of it. This will guarantee much more needed VRAM saving.
