📋 About This Mod
This mod replaces the default snow in Blackreach with a unique spore texture.
Installation:
To install manually, simply extract the compressed files into your Data folder.
To install using a mod manager, follow the typical install procedures for your mod manager of choice.
Notes:
This is not a simple texture replacer. Because the default Blackreach precipitation uses the default snow texture, you must activate the BlackreachSnow.esl file in order for the game to know to point to the spore texture instead of snow. If you are not seeing spores in Blackreach, check that you have the esl file activated and that no other mods are overwriting the "BlackreachSnow" Shader Particle Geometry item.
