These are some patches i created for Better Dynamic Snow - Definitive Edition that i use in my own game.
Maybe others have use for these.
Patches are tested WITHOUT Auto Parallax active. So they work as intended.
But still, i advice to use Auto Parallax to avoid parallax headaches!
BDS-DE - Shader Fix
This plugin sets "Single Pass" to true. This to fix meshes to landscapes seams.
Auto Parallax is a hard requirement for this plugin.
Faction - Pit Fighter
This fixes an instant CTD when entering the Windhelm Arena.
No Snow Under the Roof
When using both mods together your farmhouses will look like showed in the screenshots.
Icy Windhelm
This patch will make sure that the mod Footprints works within the city walls.
The Citadel of Snow - Lively Windhelm Bridge
This patch gets the "Single Pass Color" from MATO "SnowMaterialObject1P_livelyW" to 255/255/255,
so it matches the "Single Pass Color" from BDS-DE.
Thats it and nothing more.
Just install with favorite mod manager. But obviously.. Place the patches under the required files.

💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have Better Dynamic Snow - Definitive Edition installed first, then drop these patches in your mod manager and activate them after BDS.

- If you're using a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, let it handle the load order automatically, but double-check that the patches are sorted after the mods they patch.
