    • []Optional File

      []Fixes the problem caused by the snow shader and parallax. Before it was impossible to have parallax without bugs (Blue/gray meshes or which disappear at a certain angle) on the whpallace1.nif (SoS) and the 5 Palace meshes (BDS2). Now you can have parallax on these meshes.

    • []Simplicity of Snow : I cut the mesh into three and place it in the CK (Left, Center, Right), This solution seems to work and you can now have parallax on whpalace1.nif meshes. ESP ESL Flagged

      []Detter Dynamic Snow 2 (Only) : Same, and the BD2 shader is applied to the 5 meshes of the palace (7 now). You can have parallax on the entire palace now.
