📋 About This Mod
The original Get Snowy mod was open for conversion, so here it is!
The original description follows (amended to be relevant with the SSE version)...
While I wholeheartedly endorse valve I do not endorse the upload of my mods to SteamWorkshop, please respect this decision.
Special thanks to Chesko for his support and allowing me to tweak FrostFall's shader

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Description:
Adds a snowy visual effect to the player and NPCs when snow is falling.
Effects all live and deceased NPCs and wildlife with-in a set radius.
Version 4+ entire character gets snowy.
Version 5. 5+ no snow on skin (not as consistent as ver4).
Keeping it simple philosophy:
Get Snowy doesn't do everything, and it never will because it doesn't use scripts at all.
Meaning No Save-Bloat, No Crash to desktop, No need for SKSE, and a simple safe uninstall.
Recommended - Brawl Bugs Patch
It's not required to run Get Snowy but it stops brawls from bugging into real fights.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with nearly 3,000 endorsements and over 100k downloads.
- Ties into Obsidian Weathers and Wet&Cold for a more cohesive weather experience.
- Simple immersion boost that makes snowy regions feel more alive.
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects NPCs and wildlife within a radius—might miss distant characters.
- Requires Obsidian Weathers and Wet&Cold for full compatibility, so extra setup if you don't use them.
- Visual effect might conflict with other mods that alter NPC appearance or weather.
For Skyrim players who want extra immersion during snowstorms, especially those already using Obsidian Weathers and Wet&Cold. If you're after gameplay changes, this is purely cosmetic—skip if you want more than visual flair.

- Load Get Snowy after those mods in your load order to ensure the snowy effect applies correctly.
- If you're using a mod manager, preview the mod's file structure to confirm it's a simple drop-in.
