UPDATED to support the latest SkyrimSE runtime (and SkyrimVR support forthcoming). Not only is this mod necessary for generating LO-specific grass LOD, but it's also beneficial to performance without grass LOD if properly configured.

Prevents grass clipping through most objects.

Mod performs a raycast in-game from each position where grass is located and if it detects a collision with another object then it doesn't place grass at that point.

Needs .Net framework but that's already a requirement for MO2.

OCD sufferers rejoice!

I'm going to toss this in to see how it plays. I'm not using the extended grass, just the base part for hiding grass under objects.

See our Grass LOD Guide for configuration tips with DynDOLOD. We have it set up nicely from fairly extensive testing. I assume you are still running Skyrim 1.5.97 ...

Was accepted for the v2.0 Guide, but has since been outdated by SkyrimSE v1.6+. Since v2 has yet to release, I've simply removed the accepted tag.

Added the 2.0.0 tag.

FINALLY. This mod has been updated thanks to DwemerEngineer. Consider giving DwemerEngineer some kudos on Nexus.

Rather than pregenerating grass, the Step 2.3. guide will include grass cache generation instructions similar to DynDOLOD instructions.

Tagging 'accepted' for 2.3

[Mercury71]

Version 1.1.0 released

Changelog

• Fixed broken quests and crash with Extended Grass Distance and Only-load set to false. Strongly recommended to always use Extended Grass Distance with Only-load set to true.
• Fixed Crashing with Raycasting when Cache is disabled.
• Added option to disable freeze check during crashing for anyone that has an issue with false positives from the check. You will need to add the line Freeze-check-enabled = false.
• Fixed missing log info regarding INI settings. Should help debug issues.

Do we actually need to keep the mod enabled after grass precaching is done? With the exception for those who want Extended-grass-distance, the grass generation cache already solved grass in objects per load order right?

Keep NGIO active along with Grass Cache Helper NG at all times. They impact how grass is rendered during gameplay. NGIO isn't only for generating a grass cache.

New beta up, but best to probably wait for full release.

Beta 3 - Improved fix for Cell loading issue with Extended Grass Distance. Possible fix for those only using raycast. Cleaned up crash management. Use Instead of main file.

Marked as beta, until I know if the fix works or not.
