📋 About This Mod
While I wholeheartedly endorse valve I do not endorse the upload of my mods to SteamWorkshop, please respect this decision. Special thanks to Chesko for his support and allowing me to tweak FrostFall's shader If you like this mod, you might also like Wet & Cold by isoku. --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Description:
Adds a snowy visual effect to the player and NPCs when snow is falling. Effects all live and deceased NPCs and wildlife with-in a set radius. Version 4+ entire character gets snowy. Version 5. 5+ no snow on skin (not as consistent as ver4).Keeping it simple philosophy: Get Snowy doesn't do everything, and it never will because it doesn't use scripts at all. Meaning No Save-Bloat, No Crash to desktop, No need for SKSE, and a simple safe uninstall.
Recommended - Brawl Bugs Patch It's not required to run Get Snowy but it stops brawls from bugging into real fights.

Known bugs: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - Some items (from other mods) do not receive the effect. (See FAQ-2 below) - Snow Effect appears while in ash-rain from DragonBorn-DLC. - Invisibility can combine with the snow to make some weird effects. - Upgrading from ver 4 to 5. The no-skin-snow feature doesn't work until the 2nd time it snows.
Tips: - Install the Brawl Bugs Patch to avoid issues with brawls. - FYI: How to temporarily remove the effect if you need to.
Compatibility: -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- RECOMMEND WITH Brawl Bugs Patch or Brawl Bug plugin - Wet & Cold: fully compatible. - Wet & Cold - Ashes: Compatibility patch by UnmeiX - FrostFall: Fully compatible. - Footprints: this should be below/after Footprints in load-order. I don't actually know why. - ApachiiSkyHair: Snow does not appear on the hair - This will work with all weather mods, provided that the precipitation classification is set to "snow" - DragonBorn DLC: Bugged in ash rain -- Bethesda set their Ash to Snow *derp.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community favorite with 20k+ endorsements—clearly a must-have for immersion lovers.
- Simple concept that adds a lot of atmosphere: seeing snow accumulate on characters is a nice touch.
- Works on both living and dead NPCs and wildlife, so it's consistent across the world.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2015—may not be compatible with the latest game version or DLCs.
- Only affects visual effects during snowfall; doesn't add any new mechanics or interactions.
For Skyrim players who want a bit more immersion during snowstorms, especially those who enjoy atmospheric details. If you're a modder looking for a lightweight visual tweak, this is a solid pick. Skip if you want gameplay changes—this is purely cosmetic.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's an older mod, check if you're using the Special Edition or Legendary Edition and see if there are any patches.
- Load order shouldn't matter much, but place it after other weather mods to ensure the effect triggers correctly.
- If you're using a mod manager, install it manually or via manager—either works, but manual is fine for a single ESP.
