About this mod
If you use Verdant with Whiterun Watchtower Doesn't Start Broken, the tower bailey training field is overgrown and its exterior is unkempt for a military fortification. This is simple patch rectifies the situation.

Whiterun Watchtower Doesn't Start Broken repairs the western watchtower and adds a stone wall that forms the tower's bailey. Within the bailey are the usual things you might find: training dummies, targets, supplies, tents, men-at-arms, etc. However, there is something that you shouldn't find in great abundance: waist high grass.
Verdant - A Skyrim Grass Plugin does what it does best. Unfortunately, that grass is no longer out in open tundra.
As usual, I experimented with other grass removal mods, but nothing worked to my satisfaction. So, here is yet another one of my patches.
Used SSEEdit to flag all the .esp files as .esl
What this patch does:
I did not want to remove all the grass. Jarl Balgruuf and his Steward Avenicci are always talking about how short the hold is on coin, how they don't have enough guards, etc. I wanted this mod to reflect the Whiterun Legion of Guards being short manned - so no perfectly cleared grounds.
This mod removes much of the grass from within the bailey. It almost completely clears the training grounds. Outside the walls, it removes enough of the grass and bushes to reveal frequently walked patrol routes that the NPCs follow. I did not edit any nav meshes. I just watched them walk their routes and cleared the grass accordingly.
Look at the before and after pics.
Installation:
Simply download and install through your mod manager.
Note: If you use mods such as No Grass In Objects to pre-cache your grass, you will have to regenerate again.
Other Grass Mods:
The Verdant patch will probably work with any grass mod if you either:

Other Grass Mods:
The Verdant patch will probably work with any grass mod if you either:
- Change the master requirements using Wrye Bash
- Remove the master requirements using SSEEdit. If you remove the masters be sure to add the correct masters back so LOOT can sort correctly. If you do not, you will have to manually sort your load order (place the patch after/below your grass mod of choice and Whiterun Watchtower Dosen't Start Broken)
