General Overview

Winter Overhaul 2019 makes the following changes:

- snowy and snow storm weather in all regions and vanilla/dlc worldspaces

- patch for Falskaar now available

- shorter daylight hours

- replaces all non snow textures with snow via CK (mountain trim, roads, bridges will all have snow)

- all buildings are covered with snow including matching LOD

- landscape has snow everywhere and matching LOD. Snow re-textures should be compatible (but may cause seams)

- 3-D Tree version features snowy trees by Vury and Mathy79

- snow textures by Luxor8071

- vanilla tree version with vanilla and a few vurt models is also available

- billboards available for all trees and landscape and LOD textures available for use with DynDOLOD.  3-D LODs are being worked on

- all living plants removed for winter, harvestables have not been altered

- This mod does NOT add snowy clutter to cities and towns, to maintain maximum compatibility with town/city overhauls

- Tundra overhaul with snow drifts and blowing snow coming in future update.  Ice on water and waterfalls is also being worked on

Compatibility and Mod Recommendations

- install landscape and re-texture mods like HD Skyrim, 2K textures, Noble Skyrim, etc FIRST, then install this mod and overwrite.  Some overhauls like Vivid Landscapes may not compatible

-  This mod uses textures from Real Snow HD 2K by luxor8071 and is fully compatible out of box with said mod

- As of version 1. 7, nearly all mountains, trim, and rocks have been replaced with their snowy variants.  If you have an old copy of Better Dynamic Snow I highly recommend it for this mod

- compatible with Frostfall.   A patch is now available in the miscellaneous files section for users of Frostfall 3. 4. 1.  This patch allows Frostfall to recognize  all of Skyrim as wintertime.  Please provide feedback in the comments section if there are any issues

- compatible with Wet and Cold.  Wet and Cold users should enable the "winter" mode in the MCM (game mode, change default to winter)

- this mod changes all vanilla trees and most plants and is therefore NOT compatible with other tree and flora overhauls

-  this mod is my own creation from scratch.  Uninstall any other winter overhauls before installing this one.

- LOD for buildings has been altered vi
