Usage Notes:

Download the HQ Plants and All-In-One archives.

Delete this file which conflicts with SM Bitter Coast Tree Replacer: 00 Epic Plants/textures/Tx_BC_moss_01.dds

We also highly recommend that you delete these wickwheat meshes because they cause a huge performance hit near Vos and the related region.

03 MWSE and OpenMW GH Patch/Meshes/o/Flora_wickwheat_03.nif
03 MWSE and OpenMW GH Patch/Meshes/o/Flora_wickwheat_04.nif

For me, deleting these files took me from around 10FPS to 30FPS at the lowest. Simply run coc 'Vos' in the console and turn around to test your performance. Graphic Herbalism - MWSE and OpenMW Edition has a GH Patches and Replacers download which includes a 06 Less Epic Plants folder, this should serve as a suitable replacement for the stock Epic Plants wickwheat meshes. They still look very nice, and your framerate won't be nearing single digits.
