The grass in Oblivion is far too tall for my liking and mods I have seen that "makes grass smaller" don't seem to work (or not noticeable). I decided to try and make my own with mixed success. Grass is noticeably shorter in areas like the Gold Coard, West Weald and other grassy areas, as I just used the same nif for all the grasses. Problem is in Blackwood, where ferns and cat tails are still horribly tall.

I tried reducing the height in the CS, tried setting the Z to what should be far below the "level" part and even reduced the scale to .1 and nothing touched the size of these plants

Is there any way to change the size of plants?

Good question. If you reduce the height range it should make a grass type shorter. The first thing I would check would be if you mod is loading last. The other thing you could do would be to edit the nif directly and reduce the vertical scale.

"Should" being the keyword lol.
 

I ended up just getting the shortest grass nif file, which was one that has the Bruma area grass, then changing the texture path for whatever grass I wanted to replace. I then changed a lot of the ferns using the same technique, just overwriting existing nifs with short groundcover ones. While not perfect by any stretch of the imagination, I like how it came out (Yes, I am Dradaki from Nexus)
