GRASS MOWER v1.0.0
===================
DO NOT REUPLOAD TO ANY OTHER SITE,
TESTED ONLY SKYRIM 1.6.1170, WAS FINE WITH 1000 PLUGINS IN MY MODLIST, TESTED ALSO ON FRESH VANILLA SKYRIM ON LAPTOP SO SHOULD WORK WITHOUT MODS EXCEPT THE REQUIREMENTS, SHOULD WORK WITH ANY GRASS REPLACER AND ANY SETUP UNLESS IT ALTERS GRASS GENERATION IN GAME
What it does:
Did you ever get annoyed by installing grass mods and it grows all over the roads, inside of objects? So this mod allows you to remove small chunks of grass anywhere at runtime. NO MORE NGIO NEEDED or other ten million patches to remove grass. Atleast i think so. It saves to New Game and different saves so you can do it only once.
MOD IS IN EARLY STAGE SO REPORT ANY BUGS.
REQUIREMENTS
------------
Required:
* Skyrim Anniversary Edition (tested on 1.6.1170) no idea if other versions work check at your own risk
* SKSE64
* Address Library for SKSE Plugins
* Microsoft Visual C++ 2015-2022 x64 Redistributable (just download latest and you'll be fine)
Optional (for the in-game settings menu):
* SKSE Menu Framework (without it everything still works; edit GrassMower.ini instead)
Not compatible / must be OFF:
* NGIO (No Grass In Objects) and Grass Cache Helper NG, or any pre-generated grass cache.
Grass Mower works on grass the game generates itself while you play.
INSTALL
-------
Install the zip with your mod manager (Vortex / MO2) like any other mod and enable it.
Manual install: copy the "SKSE" and "meshes" folders into your Skyrim "Data" folder.
Uninstall: disable/remove the mod. Your cuts are stored in
Data/SKSE/Plugins/GrassMower.edits (created in your Data folder or the mod manager's
overwrite folder); delete it.
HOW TO USE
----------
F8 - Cycle the brush: Off -> Cut -> Restore -> Off
Left mouse button - Click/Hold to paint where the ring is (Cut removes grass, Restore brings it back)
Page Up / Page Down - Bigger / smaller brush
IN-GAME MENU (needs SKSE Menu Framework, press F1 by default -> "Grass Mower")
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
* Restore original grass - tick to hide all your cuts and see the original grass; untick to bring your cuts back (nothing is deleted)
* Hotkeys - click a key, press the new one (Esc cancels)
* Brush - starting radius and radius step (same as Page Up / Page Down)
* Ring colours - colour of the Cut and Restore rings, and brightness.
* Reset ALL grass to default - permanently deletes every saved cut (asks to confirm). You would have to cut the grass again.
TROUBLESHOOTING
---------------
Log file: Documents/My Games/Skyrim Special Edition/SKSE/GrassMower.log
* No menu: SKSE Menu Framework is not installed or is an older build; the log says which.
* Plugin does not load at all: check SKSE, Address Library and the VC++ redistributable.
