NOTE

Users can still install this mod without Better Planet Generation!

  1. Install this mod as instructed, below.
  2. Skip the subsections after this Foundation mod table. Continue on to Models_and_Textures table as the next step.
  1. Download the Main File manually from Nexus Mods
  2. Extract the LUA file from the downloaded archive to the ModScript folder in AMUMSS: ..\AMUMSS\ModScript
Optional

These steps are optional, but provide less clipping issues and shorter grass, which helps prevent it from clipping through and hiding a lot of smaller objects. This keeps the regular grass at a max height of around the character's mid-thigh in dense areas, rather than allowing the character to wade through waist-high grass.

  1. Open the extracted LUA in an advanced text editor with a Find and Replace function, like Notepad++
  2. At the top of the LUA will be MAXSCALE_MULTIPLIER = 1.5, change this value to 1.4
  3. Next change LUSH_MINSCALE_MULTIPLIER = 1.0, to 1.1
  4. Now using the Find and Replace function of the editor find the all of the following in the LUA and replace with the given value:
    These settings lower the range for the grass height for all grasses.
    • Find all: "MinScaleY", that equal 0.7 and replace with: 0.5
    • Find all: "MinScaleY", that equal 0.751 and replace with: 0.61
    • Find all: "MinScaleY", that equal 0.81 and replace with: 0.551
      The tabs in these settings are just for readability so keep them or not, it doesn't matter.
    • Find all: "MaxScaleY", that equal 0.75 and replace with: 0.55
    • Find all: "MaxScaleY", that equal 0.752 and replace with: 0.62
    • Find all: "MaxScaleY", that equal 0.82 and replace with: 0.552
  5. Save the file and close
