14 Animated Clutter On top of having animations for interacting with chests and doors, it's a shame that Skyrim didn't introduce animations to specific clutter that can be interacted with. The sheer quantity of new textures will mean that memory usage will take a bit of a hit, but I’m going to assume many of you are able to run Skyrim pretty happily anyway. It also ensures the mod can run smoothly on low-end PCs as well. The grass being used in the mod is so much more efficient than that in the vanilla game that the mod’s poster, JonnyWang13, says the team has managed to render grass on three times as many surfaces as before, totally transforming areas like the Reach.
Thankfully, game’s modding scene is here to help! The Lightweight Grass Overhaul mod, published over on Nexusmods yesterday, aims to massively increase the density of the game’s rolling fields, managing to bring a little extra life to the game and eliminating pop-in. If you cast your mind back, what was your biggest problem with Skyrim? The bugs? The main quest that paled in comparison to most of the other stories? All those bastard Falmer lurking in the Dwemer ruins? If you answered any of the above, you were wrong, because the worst thing about Skyrim was, of course, its lack of grass density.
