Grass animation distance (enable and disable) to improve FPS

[kove454]

I was looking around online and can't find a topic on how to disable the grass sway animation or even to change the distance at which you see the grass sway.

 

So far I adjusted the values in SkyrimPrefs.ini :

 

fGrassWindMagnitudeMin=50.0000
fGrassWindMagnitudeMax=2500.0000

 

to

fGrassWindMagnitudeMin=0.0000
fGrassWindMagnitudeMax=0.0000

 

with no change. I also adjusted the line :

 

fTreesMidLODSwitchDist=1500.0000

 

smaller so I can improve fps using Lush grass and trees mod.

 

I tried duplicating the fTreesMidLODSwitchDist=1500.0000 into fGrassMidLODSwitchDist=0.000 but no avail.

 

Can someone help me out? I like the lush flora but my system just can't keep the FPS above 30. :sad:

I think you need to have the fGrassWindMagnitude lines in the Skyrim.ini rather than skyrimprefs.ini

There's some other performance tweaks here that might help:

There's a comment near the bottom of the page that gives some additional tweaks for shadows.

 

Also, check out the mod Grass on Steroids. It's supposed to increase FPS. make sure to set grass density at 75 or higher for most benefit.
