I finally figured some settings to remove the pop in completely, and also thin out the grass a bit to try compensate for the extra distance rendering. it seems like a perfect happy medium. gonna share my settings.
GrassPatchSize seems to thin it out, there might be a better range to find. ClutterDistance could probably go even lower. there's absolutely non pop in for me using these settings.
Thanks a bunch for this mod! I'm using it with the fps boost mod that removes shadows and everything seems to look pretty good, without the choppiness i was having before. also using a pile of custom textures.
Confirming these are great settings to tweak. Thank you for the tip remy. And thank you to aedenthorn for the fantastic mod. This pairs perfectly with Louis' Texture Pack (https://www.nexusmods.com/valheim/mods/124)- his grass is a darker green and a different feel. I will include a screenshot if there's interest. Cheers!
Results: - Increased FPS - Slightly Less Dense Grass - Grass Cover Distance Greatly Increased, in-alignment with distant objects popping in - Regarding Popping Small Grass and Other Objects: So far I've found no setting or method to alter that.
No effect? I messed with PlayerPushFade = 3, 1, 0.5 (default 0.05) - No noticeable changes LodMinDistanceMult / LodMaxDistanceMult - Tried both of these at 3 and 5 (default 1) - No noticeable changes.
sorry for the late reply. i recently turned it off and got a big boost. can't really even tell the difference. I use the grass texture that comes with HD Valheim, it's nice and smooth, not jagged. when i toss in the louis pack i delete his grass.
Here is what I did. Seemed to work quite well but I am on max settings with a 3080 TI so might be worse off for others depending on hardware and specs.

This looks great but I had a bug where the grass affected by the player seemed to be in a line ahead of the player. I could see grass ahead of me moving as I move. Setting `PlayerPushFade = 1.0` fixes this so the zero was probably causing a math error.
What settings does one use so that the grass does not pop in within line of sight? (I can stand in the medows and have a radius of like 20 meters around me where the grass pops and disappears)
Currently using Willybach's HD Valheim and I've made changes in the config manager to adjust the min/max grass distance to reduce pop-ins, but it doesn't seem to be working. Anyone have a solution?

And no matter what I set these to - Nothing changes =/
What is the range we are talking about? 2? 20? 2000? And minimum/maximum values?
Clutter distance seems to also account for grass and needs to be far enough like in bgi123's example.
In fact I used all his values in the 3 distance-related entries and that looks pretty good!
