Grass mods not working

[Grifman]

Ok, I've tried a number of different mods that create a greener wasteland via adding grasses (and other plants), but they aren't working right. I've tried Grasslands, True Grass, ReGrowth and Summer from FO4 Season, and they just aren't working properly to varying degrees for grasses - trees are fine. For True Grass and Summer - FO4 Seasons, I get some plants - they look to be what I would call non-grass ground plants, but I have patches of ground that are splotches of green where I think real grass should be. For grasslands, there's nothing - just vanilla dead grass (which is why the plants that the other two do show appear to be non-grass plants), but I from looking at Grasslands, it appears to add only what i would call " true grass" so that sort of is consistent with what I am seeing in the other two mods.

 

I have no idea what is wrong. I've played around with the Fallout 4 ini and preferences filed for [Grass] based upon some research, and I've disabled the only other big general texture mod I have - Vivid Fallout (in case that was doing something) but none of those actions have changed anything.

 

Anyone have any idea what I am missing? That fact that Grasslands is showing vanilla dead grass ought to be the biggest clue, but I'm stumped. Any assistance would be appreciated. Thanks.

 

EDIT: Ok, I messed up on Grasslands, duh. I had installed the performance version but had not installed the main file. So that looks like it is working, need to check some other locations. But at least something is there.

 

EDIT 2: In going back and looking over these again, the problem just seems to me is that the grass just seems a lot sparser than what I see in screenshots. Those also seem be using a lot of ENB's which also throws off the color comparison. But none of them in my game look at lush and full as what I see in the various screenshots.

 

EDIT 3: Ok, just went to Starlight Drive in where there is a very good screenshot on the Regrowth Lawnmowing page (where some of the very tall grasses are removed). I just want there and compared to my game. On the Nexus page there is a lot of grass cover part but not all of the theater paved area. But in my game there are just a few patches. So something is clearly off. I just have no idea what it is, but all the the grass mods seem to be missing something.

I'm having the same issue and have not found any solution anywhere. Does anyone have a fix for this?

check all your ini files. make sure you have the lines added for grass. Idk about vortex, but MOd Organizer 2 does not read the ini files found in Documents folder location. it stores its own versions that are accessed in MO's UI.

The lines you need are this

 

[Grass]

iMinGrassSize=20

bAllowCreateGrass=1

bAllowLoadGrass=0

iMaxGrassTypesPerTexure=15


You can change imingrasssize=20 to Imingrasssize=40 for better performance. the lower the number the denser it is. you might already be running a performance boosting mod that has its own custom ini file in the mods folder somewhere that is doing this already from the sound of it. Have to check all you mods folders and look for ini files in them :/

2 years later, same problem.

I've checked .ini file, load order but found no issues

Unpacked .ba2, moved loose files to data folder. Dirt texture got green colour but grass is still missing
