📋 About This Mod

Various patches for Better Dynamic Snow

PATCHES FOR BETTER DYNAMIC SNOW SE

Wish there were more objects covered by the new snow effects?

Tired of thin stripes/lines on various snowy objects in the world?

Not happy with Windhelm and wish you could revert it to vanilla without removing BDS?

Then you need Better Dynamic Snow Patches!


So whats included?

All remaining vanilla models using the vanilla snow shaders should now be replaced by a BDS version.

Ruins clutter (pots) using the wrong shader outdoors (ice shader instead of snow shader) replaced by BDS

Ruins bridge end pieces using wrong shader outdoors replaced by BDS

Experimental patch for reducing striping/lines effects on certain meshes

Optional patch: revert most Windhelm meshes -

to vanilla snow shader (not snow drifts/piles)

Added patch for BS Bruma

Not really BDS related but included an optional BS Bruma animated windmill fan replacer too.

Note: place Windhelm Revert under all other BDS patches

Screenshots were taken with Fluffy Snow


Bugs / FAQ's

Q: This mod conflicts with Majestic Mountains / BDS MM Patch! What should I do? Do I still need that patch?

Yes. Place this before Majestic Mountains so that can make the changes it needs then add MM BDS Patch after i.e:

Better Dynamic Snow

Better Dynamic Snow - Patch

Majestic Mountains

BDS MM Patch

Q: I've still got meshes/models still using the vanilla shader effect! Whats going on?

A: you've got a mod that adds custom models to the world and they're applying the vanilla shader.

Q: Can you fix it?

A: Possibly. It'd require permission from the other author and another patch though...

Q:There are still striping effects! I thought it was fixed!

A: Its like plugging a hole in a leaky dam, plug one hole and another springs up.

If you completely reduce the snow axis projection you'll have no snow cover.

You can reduce it but I doubt its possible to completely eliminate it, sorry.

Q: I'm using Windhelm Revert but its not working! Meshes are still messed up!

A: Place it below any other BDS patches you have in your load order.

Q: I'm getting random CTD's with the BS Bruma patch!

A: Yeah so the BS Bruma team s
