Its apparently not tied into the tree or grass variables. Anyone know?

Is your object slider at 15?

its actually at 20. Example here is I'm standing by the Whiterun stables on top of the walls there looking down at it... And theres those bright green shrubs.. they probably fade out at least half of the distance that the grass does. it looks like only about 50 in game feet is their pop limit.

u need to edit the ini files

check http://www.gamesas.com/index.php?/topic/1274926-ugridstoload-skyrimini-comparisons-and-explanation-default-57911/

my ini file grass settings


[Grass]
b30GrassVS=1
fGrassStartFadeDistance=25000.0000
fGrassMaxStartFadeDistance=25000.0000
fGrassMinStartFadeDistance=0.0000

Nah its not those settings, i just increased mine and it doesnt affect shrubbery.

here's a video for an example, watch the shrubs on the right hand of the screen pop in and out http://youtu.be/YwOLVSMKQHw
