Grass Configuration

The following configuration applies to all users, regardless of whether or not grass LOD will be generated using DynDLOD. Precaching grass is necessary for this mod to resolve some specific stuttering issues when loading cells outdoors in grassy areas. Precaching also generally improves performance in these areas. Precaching grass is also required by DynDOLOD to generate grass LOD, but this mod has nothing to do with grass LOD otherwise:

MODIFY CONFIG

1. Double click on the mod in the MO left pane
2. Click on the "Text Files" tab to modify GrassControl.config.txt
3. Find the following settings and edit as follows:

UseGrassCache = True

ExtendGrassDistance = True ;Default is 'False'. Value of 'True' is necessary for OverwriteGrassDistance > 7000 EnsureMaxGrassTypesPerTextureSetting = 15 ;This will match Cathedral Landscapes default OverwriteGrassDistance = 24000 ;This value corresponds to the approximate distance in game units from player to outer edge of uLargeRefLODGridSize value in SkyrimPrefs.ini (default = 11). This setting overrides all other INI sources and can be lowered to increase performance. OverwriteGrassFadeRange = 12000 ;This value corresponds to the approximate distance in game units from player to outer edge of uGridsToLoad value in SkyrimPrefs.ini (default = 5). This setting overrides all other INI sources and can be lowered to increase performance. OverwriteMinGrassSize = 60 ;This overrides all other INI sources. INCREASE this value to increase performance. Cathedral Landscapes default is also '60' OnlyLoadFromCache = True

DynDOLODGrassMode = 0 ;Disables grass LODGen for the time being

Pre-caching grass for LOD generation is covered in the Step SkyrimSE guide.
