Used to generate grass cache.

This process will help you to get rid of any performance or stability issues using the mod No Grass In Object installed at section 5.6.2 Grass by caching and pre generating all grass for you load order.

Click here to download Grass Generation MO2 Plugin v1 from nexusmods.com.

Click on Manual Download

When downloaded got to the folder where the file has been downloaded, extract the file Grass Generation MO2 Plugin v1-42161-1-1606136069.zip to a temporary location and copy the extracted file GrassPrecacher.py to your NOLVUS\MO2\plugins directory

Your NOLVUS\MO2\plugins directory should look like this

Double Click on the mod No Grass In Object and go the Text Files tab

Set UseGrassCache and ExtendGrassDistance to true

Set OnlyLoadFromCache to true

These two settings OverwriteGrassDistance and OverwriteGrassFadeRange will extend grass distance beyond vanilla skyrim values

Vanilla default values are 6000 and 3000

You can extend grass distance by increasing OverwriteGrassDistance, be sure OverwriteGrassFadeRange is set to at least the half of the first value

e.g OverwriteGrassDistance set to 10000 and OverwriteGrassFadeRange to 5000

The more you increase these values the more grass will be displayed in distance.

Of course, this has a price and your fps will decrease, so use these values carefully according to your hardware.

Restart MO2, click on the puzzle button and select Precache Grass

You will get this message, click on Yes

MO2 will launch the game and you will get the usual loading screen, let the plugin do its work (this will take 2 hours according to your hardware)

Your skyrim will be stopped several times and MO2 will restart the game to let it finish the process.

When done you will receive a message from MO2. Double click on Overwrite

You should get lot of *.cgid files

Close the window, right click on overwrite and select Create Mod...

Give the name Grass Cache, click on OK and drag and drop the mod above Output

Warning!!! If you change anything in your load order such as new landscape mod, or any values in the No Grass In Object mod settings you will have to restart this process.

If you need to regenerate the grass cache, delete the mod Grass Cache you generated and restart the process.

Only exceptions are OverwriteGrassDistance and OverwriteGrassFadeRange. These values can be changed without regenerating the grass cache.
