The vanilla gourd plant is pretty scuffed. Some leaves clip with the ground or each other, and some lack the proper animations. When harvested, some of the leaves abruptly change position and the harvested plant doesn't have any leaf animations at all. It's just not a very immersive experience. There doesn't appear to be a mod that fixes this, so I made one myself.
The fixed plant has a completely seamless transition when harvested, and the leaf animations will continue uninterrupted. The clipping present on the vanilla model has been fixed, and animations have been added to leaves that were lacking them. Options available for a vanilla style mesh and a high poly mesh using the gourd model from Mathy's Repository. The high poly model uses custom 1K textures for the fruit, a matching gourd food model is included.
If you want a truly high poly gourd plant replacer, I recommend checking out the fantastic Kabu's Really Gourd Plant Replacer.
Just meshes and textures, no ESP. The hearthfire plant mesh is included for both options.
I recommend watching this video, as it shows the difference the best. The gallery has some comparison gifs too.
Compatibility:
Compatible with all gourd retextures.
Mods that replace the mesh may or may not be compatible, depends on whether they alter the UV and/or texture paths of the mesh in a way that makes it incompatible with vanilla textures.
Improved Gourds is compatible, provided you overwrite it with my mod.
