Can't get grass to render PLEASE HELP
Title says it all. I have watched many help videos and made many suggested changes to the [Grass] section of my Skyrimprefs file, but nothing I do is letting grass render. I know this is a silly thing to get upset over, but I want my grass, dangit! If anyone knows a way to try to fix this issue, I would appreciate it!

For reference, the only mods im running are:
Unofficial SE Patch
Growl (werebeasts mod)
Apocalypse (spell mod)
Dense Grass (I have tried disabling and re-enabling this countless times, it is NOT the issue, lack of grass persists regardless if it is active)
Climates of Tamriel
Realistic Water Two
AI Overhaul
Better Combat AI
Better Blood Effects

ETA: This is what my Skyrimprefs currently has:
[Grass]
fGrassMaxStartFadeDistance=15000.0000
fGrassMinStartFadeDistance=15000.0000
fGrassStartFadeDistance=1500.0000

Grass only generates a certain distance from you, you can increase that distance but it isn't recommended, because you increase the range at which EVERYTHING spawns in the game, which apart from slowing down your game massively means you miss out on stuff, because it triggers while you aren't in visual range and miss out... including on some quests.

this doesn't answer my question....

Does it happen on new games or only your existing game?
also if you're using MO2, then you have to change the ini files through MO2, not in documents for the changes to do anything

As long as the solution was NOT changing uGridsToLoad from the default of 5 - doing so will break your game, as has been widely known for many years now (which is one reason we never see it mentioned any longer). I only mention it now becuase of you iferred that you found a solution on Google - a font of outdated and wrong information when it comes to searching for information regarding fixes for Skyrim.

If you can't find an answer by asking in this forum, then there probably is no answer or safe solution (even if the answer we give is just to direct you to the people or site where you may find a possible answer).

lol no answer is OP author undoes whatever they unintentionally did. (most likely) Been following thread but not said anything since i had/have no clue.
OP you mean your ini was messed?

Curious since i have broken grass before but forget how i did it.
