Is there a way to stop grass from clipping through the floor?

[Dweller Beyond the Threshold]

Trying to build the perfect house :) But it's so damn annoying to see grass growing through my floor. I know I can just build taller foundations, but then that looks ugly too...
Hopefully someone knows a mod here that can fix this issue.

nope, some of the grass is part of the mesh or whatever

there is a mod called spring clean.
i used it in the past. i stopped using it because it was a bit tedious, if you moved the cursor while trying to scrap some grass and the cursor moved on to the building it would delete the whole building.
but apart from that it worked quite well.

Yeah I have a similar, probably better mod, called "scrap everything".
It allows you to scrap almost everything in a settlement, but the small grasses aren't selectable.

Yup, some grass is part of the mesh unfortunately.
And yes, Scrap Everything is better and was recently updated, the last time Spring Cleaning was updated was back in January

is scrap everything easy to use? I stopped using spring cleaning because i kept deleting whole buildings and leaving floating objects everywhere.

Yes it's amazing, but it's probably similar, if not identical to Spring Cleaning in terms of actual use. You highlight over any object and press X to scrap. You can still run into the risk of accidentally scrapping the whole Red Rocket Building if you're not careful lol, because it's just one thing, but if you take your time that shouldn't happen.
And yes, it will also leave floating objects everywhere if you just delete the floor of the 2nd storey, or the walls, and leave all the stuffs attached to the wall floating there. There is also the occasional items that you can't scrap, and will just float in the air :p

Haha that's why I always save after scrapping a few things, and might accidentally scrap a while building.

Make sure Scrap Everything as last in your load order, that way nothing will reappear.
As true with all scrap mods

SAVE before doing a scrap session, I was scrapping away and didn't realize I was about 34 minutes into it and accidentally scrapped something I didn't and had to reload.

Best to scrap and when you feel like you're pushing your luck, exit out of build mode and save

Oh whoa LOOT actually placed Scrap Everything first in the plugin order! (is load order and plugin order the same thing?)

I only use LOOT for suggestions.
Also, edit the metadata for Scrap Everything by changing the Priority Value to 99996 then change the priority value of Scrap Everything Automatron to 99997, Scrap Everything Far Harbor 99998 and Scrap Everything Vault-Tec to 99999 so that LOOT always puts them last

You could raise the foundations so the floor is above the grass.

Yeah that's what I do now, though that's often pretty ugly too lol, not necessarily better than having grass through the floor :/

If it's not one thing with Beth games, it's another. Their problem used to be that rain would clip through any roofs and I think that held up until Skyrim. Now the grass comes up through the floor...

[DouglasGrave]

Here's hoping that their next building-mode attempt includes automatic suppression for "grass" items underneath a solid foundation.

The rain I can see as a bit trickier, since it still makes things wet underneath the rooves (even though no rain actually falls there), but it's hard to have a nice border on visible dampness when you're separating it by distinct objects. You'd want it to intrude just a little bit on the exposed edges of things under cover, which means teaching the game a simple way to determine which edges are exposed.
