📋 About This Mod
Ultra HD Transparent Snowflakes
This mod replaces the default Skyrim snowflakes with Ultra HD Ultra Realistic Transparent Crystal Snowflakes.Check out the screenshots uploaded by the users. They're much better than the ones I've taken. This one for example is amazingly detailed and really beautiful.
Hot Files! Thanks to all who endorsed!
I always hated the default Skyrim snowflakes. They were little more than glorified balls of whiteness in my opinion. And the other retextures, while beautiful, didn't really achieve the crystal look I was aiming for. So this mod was born.
Textures come in two versions and six resolutions each. I recommend 2K or 1K for most computers.
- []4K []2K []1K []512x512 []256x256 []128x128
256x256 and 128x128 resolutions are for the very lowest-end computers. 1K will work fine without any FPS drops for those with 1 GB VRAM and 2K to 4K will work without FPS loss for those with 2 GBs or higher VRAM.
The 30% smaller version is suitable for those aiming for more realism while the main files are for those aiming for a fantasy Skyrim.
Vivid Weathers compatible version added (thanks Mangaclub!) . Please let me know if there are any problems.
Compatible with any mod including weather mods. Just overwrite any conflicting textures with the ones from my mod or place my mod last in MO.
Enjoy, and endorse if you like them. Screenshots are highly appreciated! Check out my other mods too!
