NGIO Grass Cache for Vortex 2.0.0 (beta)

Beta for testers. It has never been run inside Vortex yet, so expect rough edges and please report them. NGIO Grass Cache now runs inside Vortex as an extension. There is no exe and no Python to install. The MO2 version is the v2.0.0-beta.1 pre-release.

Install

In Vortex: Extensions → Install From File, pick the zip, then restart Vortex. A page called NGIO Grass Cache appears when Skyrim Special Edition (or VR) is the active game.

This is not a mod: don't install it with Mod Manager Download or add it to your mod list. It won't update itself, so check back for new builds.

What changes from 1.6.0

• Nothing is copied by hand, and your own mods are never edited. The run's settings are a temporary mod ("NGIO Grass - Run Settings"), deployed for the run and removed afterwards.
• Each season's cache becomes its own mod, e.g. NGIO Grass Cache - Winter.
• A slow boot no longer counts as a hang, and a crash is noticed within about 10 seconds.
• Stop keeps your progress. It moves PrecacheGrass.txt out of the game folder, so you can play between runs.

Please report

Post on the Nexus page (https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/159499?tab=posts) with:

• your Vortex version
