More Grass

Post » Tue Feb 01, 2011 3:12 am

I want more grass. It doesn't have to be even... Why are there so many patches of turf in the game? The grass isn't maintained, it should be tall and wild! The patches of grass are annoying. I want grass EVERYWHERE!

If your grass slider is pushed all the way to the left, you get very little grass surrounding you. Right displays the opposite. But going too far right causes game lag so I wouldn't recommend it.

Personally, I think they got the grass levels just right in most places. A few patchy areas sure, but not enough to really complain about imo.

It is possible to adjust the grass distance and density further then the in-game slider will allow by editing your oblivion.ini

In the oblivion.ini:
"iMinGrassSize=" sets the amount of grass in a region. Setting it to a lower number increases the volume. Although that does adversely affect one's FPS as well.

Also, if you install a low-poly grass mod, you can have more grass on screen simultaneously. Maybe try http://oblivionmodgods.de/rpg-blackdragons-lowtripolygrass-t70.html (there's a handy http://www.tesnexus.com/downloads/file.php?id=15776 available...)

We had a thread on the subject of grasses but it has disappeared..

Changes these values to make more grass appear around you a cost of more fps..

fGrassStartFadeDistance=11000.0
fGrassEndDistance=12000.0

Installing RPG Blackdragon Tripoly Grasses has a tall grass option.

Diverse Grasses Mod will new types of grasses has well.
