About this mod

Fixes the difficult to select creep cluster in Hearthfire planters, as well as fixing some other minor mesh issues. Optional file to add support for planting ash creep cluster.

Requirements
Permissions and credits
Changelogs
Overview:

The creep cluster plant that you can grow in Hearthfire planters is notoriously difficult to select. This mod helps make harvesting the plant easier.
An optional file is available to add support for planting ash creep cluster from the Dragonborn DLC, using the magic of FormList Manipulator to help it remain compatible with other mods.

Requirements:

None for the main file.
The optional file requires FormList Manipulator.

Installation:

Install with the mod manager of your choice.

Compatibility:

This mod replaces the following meshes:
  • Data\meshes\_byoh\clutter\house crafting\soil01.nif
  • Data\meshes\_byoh\plants\byohhouseingrdcreepcluster01.nif
  • Data\meshes\_byoh\plants\switchnodechildren\byohhouseingrdcreepcluster01_1.nif
  • Data\meshes\dlc02\plants\floradlc2creepclusterash01.nif
  • Data\meshes\dlc02\plants\floradlc2creepclusterash02.nif
  • Data\meshes\dlc02\plants\switchnodechildren\floradlc2creepclusterash01_1.nif
  • Data\meshes\dlc02\plants\switchnodechildren\floradlc2creepclusterash02_1.nif
  • Data\meshes\plants\floracreepcluster01.nif
  • Data\meshes\plants\floracreepcluster02.nif
  • Data\meshes\plants\switchnodechildren\floracreepcluster01_1.nif
  • Data\meshes\plants\switchnodechildren\floracreepcluster02_1.nif

Other mods that alter the same meshes will conflict with this mod.

Mods that replace only the textures of the creep cluster are compatible:
Eg.

The changes made to "soil01.nif" by Assorted Mesh Fixes are included in this mod, so this mod should be allowed to overwrite Assorted Mesh Fixes.

This mod already contains a similar fix as Fixed Mesh Lighting for the creep cluster flora meshes. This mod should be allowed to overwrite Fixed Mesh Lighting.

The optional file uses FormList Manipulator to dynamically add ash creep cluster to the plantable ingredients form lists at runtime. It should, therefore, be compatible with other mods, even if they also alter the same form lists. The optional file should be used along with the main file for consistency, although it's not technically required.

FAQ:

Q: What's the difference between this and other existing mods that fix the same issue?
A: This mod edits both the creep cluster and the planter soil meshes to help fix the underlying issue with selection (ie. the collision meshes for both were not ideal and the soil collision box overlapped the creep cluster's). This mod also fixes some squashed vertices in the meshes and changes the harvested versions to be more consistent with each other (and not look like the whole plant was ripped up and shoved in your inventory).

Q: Is this mod "better"?
A: This isn't necessarily better than another fix - those ones work great for what they set out to do! I've used them before. This one just tries to fix it in a way that vanilla was intended to work and also adds in some other little tweaks mentioned above.
