📋 About This Mod
Have you installed Skies .iv on OpenMW and experienced snow? It's completely blinding... This is a simple texture replacer based on a Skyrim snow texture.
You can install it using Mod Organizer 2, just put it lower than skies .iv. Manual installations are not recommended, but will work if you simply overwrite the files.
I believe there may be ways to make the snow lighter without the need for this mod, however... this snow is still pretty.
A simple texture replacement for Morrowind's blizzard snow when using Skies.iv and OpenMW, reducing density to prevent blinding visuals. With 320 endorsements and 81,801 downloads, it's a popular fix for a specific visual issue.
