Type a version string using the format indicated by the placeholder text below. Copy/paste the intended guide version from the "Existing Guides" table above (if it exists) into the field below. For unofficial user-created guides, use the format indicated by the placeholder text. Editors: Please DO NOT use wiki headings inside of custom Recommendations and also avoid using templates if at all possible! Template calls add to the max threshold, and headings mess up the guide ToC.

Recommendations

Download and install the Skyrim Flora Overhaul Basic Edition v1.87 main file. Also install the Dragonborn addon v02 main file. Select [Merge] when asked while installing the addon.

Add/modify the following under [Grass] in Skyrim.ini to reduce the quantity of grass (as seen in this comparison):

iMinGrassSize=40

Note that this value can be set to any number (default is 20), where a lower value corresponds to a higher grass density and thus lower performance. Try different values to see what provides the best balance of performance and visual quality.

---

Add/modify the following under [Grass] in Skyrim.ini for more grass variety (with a slight performance impact):

iMaxGrassTypesPerTexure=7

(The typo in "texture" was made by Bethesda and should be written that way.)
