📋 About This Mod

=========================== Expanded Snow Systems: CoT Compatibility Version =========================== Absolutely Requires jjc71\'s great Climates of Tamriel mod. http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/17802 For users without climates of tamriel, try this version http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/mods/28016 This mod currently adds 3 snow types that each have 3 levels of strength, while also keeping the original designs that jjc71 had. In essence this mod purely adds new snow weathers without removing anything from CoT. *Videos all show the LvL 3 severity of each type, and show the lighting based on the vanilla game. Those Lighting settings were changed to mesh better with the lighting done in CoT. Type 1: Based on the vanilla snow storm has, has 3 additional levels that increase wind, the amount of falling snow and lowers visibility via fog levels. xX2boK31I-M Type 2: All new type that adds a more vertically falling snow with low wind influence. Lower fog levels for higher visibility. VzGaWODvbJw Type 3: This type adds very slow, large flake, no wind style snow that falls almost vertically, there is light fog and slightly brighter than the other types. 5H3dky_wbR0 ========================= Regions and types available. Winterhold: Type 2 and Type 1 Windhelm: All Mountains: All Snowy Regions: All Coast/IceFlows: All ========================= Confirmed Compatibilities: Wet and Cold Get Snowy Supreme Storms- CoT Compatible version Supreme Fog Morning Fog In general if the other mor is compatible with Climates of Tamriel this should work with it as well. ========================= Confirmed Incompatibilities: Anything Incompatible with CoT will be incompatible with this. In general if a mod modifies regional weather systems it will conflict in such a way that will be what ever loads last wins situation. ========================= Credits: Bethesda jjc71: CoT is a great mod and to get permission to make this possible.
