Tree/groundcover mods performance

[KillerK]

Hi guys, so I'm interested in trying out various groundcover and tree mods ( like Vurt's Bitter Coast trees, Aesthesia groundcover, etc.) but my only question is: how demanding are these mods?

 

I ask because my machine is kind of old. At the moment I'm only using some lore-friendly landscape/equipment texture replacers, and MGE XE with distant land (5 cells) with shadows/shaders/water effects, and those alone make my framerate drop quite significantly in settlements/cities (away from towns it's mostly fine). I'd love to try out tree/groundcover mods, but am afraid they might make the game almost unplayable on top of the fps hit I'm already taking.

 

Any thoughts?
