I'm not a fan of most of the current list of popular grass mods for a couple reasons. First, they are often just too tall. Second is that they often put what, to me, are unimmersive plants in the wrong biomes. In particular, I don't like waist-high oceans of wheat on the tundra of Whiterun.

I've been using just the grass meshes from the venerable Skyrim Flora Overhaul. I really like the low ground cover it provides for Whiterun. However, in an age of 3D\parallax meshes, a lot of these meshes don't look that great.

So I'm just curious if any of you are really happy with the grass mods you use and, if so, why.

I use Verdant together with Grass FPS Booster and Complex grass

I also did some tweaking, throwing together some other flora mods but for grass that's mainly it

Thanks for the recommendation. I've added Verdant and am liking it so far.

Also: *Landscape Fixes For Grass Mods.esp *Complementary Grass Fixes.esp *NoGrassINCities.esp

... one or another of which probably helped make the roads stop being so ridiculously overgrown in places. I still have "3D Forest Grass" and "Skyrim Flora Overhaul" installed as well. Not really sure how they all interact, but whatever, grass is looking good.

If you're using MO2 you can simply check the conflicts of the meshes/textures or item records (using the plugin manager for MO2)
