📋 About This Mod
"The chessboards control the seasons, and are no longer chessboards. Do not touch." -DoubleYouC
Seasons Change is one of my favorite mods! It's one of the core mods in my SICKnasty Wabbajack collection.
It also includes Looted World, & as I was patching my list for compatibility, I noticed that it wanted to remove a chessboard that Seasons Change had a lot going on with.
The quote above was DoubleYouC's response when I asked if it was okay for Looted World to kill the chessboard.
With this information, I began filtering my load order (1. 6k mods) & creating patches for anything that lays a finger on those chessboards.
This is a hub for those patches. Enjoy. (:
Feel free to leave suggestions in the comments. I'll get around to checking it in xEdit when I can~
