Verdant still holds up so well after all these years.
Veydosebrom doesn't get enough recognition imo.
I think a patch between Veydosebrom and Nature of the Wildlands would produce the best results.

[@CredoRP]

Totally agree with you. I forgot how good Verdant is.

[@Drakon41k]

I used Verdant for a very long time, but then I compared the mods in detail and decided to go with Veydosebrom. It looks much better.

[@zymethamp6596]

well Verdant is the most taxing one. Skoglendi is it's more chill brother

[@psyedk]

Thanks for this, such a cozy vid with the weather ambience and the little tune in the background (:
Love Folkvangr, been using forever. Without it game just looks empty.
Need to audition some alternatives tho, the FPS hit is reall

[@banker3417]

northern grass looks similar but has way better performance. I used Folkvangr and like the look the most, but northern grass is not bad

[@RanjithKumar-Tips]

@@banker3417 norther garss has only one mistake, some snow grass so baddd

[@julius2790]

Nice work. I did a deep dive into grasses over the past two days and I think Tamrielic has the best green tundra. I've been using it for a while and it gets great performance but I don't care for the Rift or volcanic grasses. I need to do a deep dive into grass patch creation.

[@JC-xx5dm]

QW2 and Vey are really amazing. I also love Folkvangr for Tundra and Marsh

[@sivaltogaming]

Thank You! This saves so much time to test all these by myself ^^

[@Sonofajan]

New to modding still, been going w qw grass but damn, tonight im trying verdant! Just what I need. Great video

[@colewagner6706]

Thank you for for work!!

[@erikmattson8629]

Very helpful, thank you.

[@Morg2851]

Thank you, exacly what I needed.

[@CredoRP]

Glad it helped!

[@Georgvs_V]

Awesome!

[@emperorkermit1976]

Thank you for making this, I can finally make a decision!

[@marcdwonn9772]

Very good comparison. Is this with or without ComplexGrass (patch for normal maps + ENB setting)?

[@CredoRP]

Thanks! This is all with complex grass.

[@ErnolDawnbringer]

thanks. also what mods at the start for the night? the night

[@ENGAM]

Veydosebrom does a very good job,it just needs a litle bit variance and some new plants here n there, Skoglendi is awesome especially if you add denser ini tweaks but i cant find a way to make it work with Jk skyrim and other mods.
Still Vey covers all areas very well with snowy grass etc but fills a little bit static and empty, Id like a mix of Skoglendi and Veydosebrom.
Also been using veydosebrom most of the time since i use JK outskirts n Skyland and found it to be the most compatible in terms of no grass in objects and patching etc...

[@unhip_crayon67]

Hey Credo, did you tweak NAT’s rainfall? I’m using the same weather/enb as you, but your rain looks much nicer. Thanks.

[@CredoRP]

Honestly I don't think I did! If you're using the latest version of NAT it's possible the rain was changed by the author. This is an older version being used in the video.

[@sgtass1]

my personal favorite is Tamrielic Grass, really like the variety

[@thebeanymac]

_Veydosebrom_ it is! Big mod though: 1.2Gb
Thanks for the vid! : )

[@igavinwood]

I'm having a nightmare with grass mods. None seem to respect the DLC and CC content of AE that I've tried, even with No Grassias and Landscape fixes, I'm still getting grass growing in water meshes and through flooring, crowding out areas that should be bare for travel, etc. Seeing this I'm hoping to try out Veydosebrom, which is new to me. Thanks for highlighting it.
Have you tried 'Short Grass'?

[@CredoRP]

Yeah grass is tricky. It's difficult to find a mod that fits every type of area, but I really like veydosebrom! As for grass growing on roads and such, you can try the mod No Grass In Objects in addition to Landscape Fixes for Grass Mods. That should help nicely. Good luck!

[@BetaAlphaNuEpsilon]

Great showcase, for skoglendi what choice to you choose during the FOMOD? Because there is "Bethesda's Cut" "NoGrass in NoGrass" and "None." Which one did you pick?
Edit: And did you choose the INI Settings? Kind of random but I'd really like to know.

[@CredoRP]

Thanks! I picked Bethesda's cut.

[@TheParagonIsDead]

You showed veydsobrom regions I’m pretty sure, which are two completely different mods.

[@SaurabhPandey-ow6ex]

Skoglendi

[@blckknight117]

Definitely liking Skoglendi

[@CommunistHydra]

Same, its on par with QW's grass patch 2

[@dscwac396]

I'm using it right now it looks great. I hate the brown grass outside whiterun

[@effishcent317]

Out of all these mods which 1 is performance friendly with no fps loss and no enbs ?
Becuz i use a laptop and the tends to heat up a lot but fans speed reduce it to 75°C.

[@CredoRP]

I would go with Verdant. I can't guarantee no fps loss but if you adjust the grass settings to be less dense you can find a good balance.

[@rynlo93]

May be it's too late for the reply, but still =) Northern grass is the most performance-friendly from all grass mods presented in the video, especially pairing it with grass fps boost can give you pretty lush environment without fps loss. Alternate to Northern grass could be Cathedral landscapes (I ran it on my 10-years-old laptop and I didn't see any performance loss). Combine it with one of weather mods from the same author, and you'll get a great looking grass even without enb (Community shaders + its addons could be a good alternative to enb). Plus it has pre-generated terrain lod textures (which can be used with Skoglendi too), and you will not notice transition between landscape and grass at the distance =) Cathedral may even outperform vanilla grass

[@phongphamthanh5911]

Have anyone try QW patch 1? Is it better than patch 2 in your opinion? Cause i seen some people prefer patch 1 but patch 2 have more download though

[@benitoalvarez1348]

Which one of these mods work on the Xbox version?

[@Dapslife101]

Is there a mod that removes all grass on consoles

[@SF91]

Been using Tamrielic for years. It would've been perfect if it weren't for the ugly snow grass. I've tried SO MANY grass mods as a replacement. Northern looks good but again it has that ugly snow grass, Folkvangr is great but I had frame drops in certain areas. I'm using Skoglendi now with Bethesda's cut to get rid of unnecessary grass in Solstheim.

[@w3nsm693]

I didn't like the tg_snow_bush01, so I just replaced it with another one.

[@sakibulislam1281]

should i use pfuscher 202x or skyland aio

[@CredoRP]

You can use both, Skyland and then pfuscher.

[@FamilyGutsPeterGriffith8187]

if youre talking about what should u use for your liking, i prefer pfusher 202x

[@GabrielWithoutWings]

I'm a Skyland man all the way but you won't go wrong with either of those. They're both good.

[@jackasspeanut1]

Skurkbro's Retexture Project. It's the best of both.

[@SupremacyGamesYT]

Folk Tundra is SO bad man. No aesthetic uniformity at all.

[@lMatheeww]

FR man, and so many ugly flowers. So disgusting
