Are you one of the many people who are tired of snow and rain every day? Are you tired of the same dull landscape? Are you tired of living in a frozen wasteland? Are you seeking something new? Well look no further. Tropical skyrim gives you a completely new experience in the world of skyrim.
This mod is a complete overhaul of skyrims climate, from a snowy wasteland to a tropical paradise. Skyrim now features lush jungles, scortching deserts, sandy beaches, bamboo forests, fiery volcanic areas and much more. Each of these areas also come with new animals, new lighting, and new weather. Almost all the animals and monsters have been replaced as well.
The tundra area has been converted into a desert with small amounts of vegitation. I have Also added sandstorms to this area.
The costal areas have been given new life, they now feature warm sands and shady palms.
The pine forest has been changed into a dense jungle. Featuring giant palms + many more types of foliage.
The snowy areas of skyrim have been changed quite a lot. After much thought I decided to change them into a grassy environment with a few aspen trees which ended up looking like the area in Oblivion around Skingrad. I have changed the snow shader which puts snow on the top of objects into a grass/moss shader, which puts grass/moss on them.
The aspen forest has been converted into a dense bamboo forest.
The Reach has also been converted into a jungle, however it has darker textures and slighly less dense trees.
The marsh area is still a marsh, only now it has brown muddy water, cattails, and jungle foliage.
I have retextured the glaciers to turn them into huge cliffs.
The volcanic tundra has been transformed into a firey wasteland with darker rocks, very small patches of lava oozing from the ground and small fires dotting the landscape
