📋 About This Mod
Just a quick adjustment to the diffuse texture supplied in RIS and added the projected normal dds as required by BDS
This hopefully helps people with 'Better Dynamic Snow' and 'Real Ice And Snow' blend a bit better. That's the dynamic snow on rocks, houses etc. If you have these two mods installed you might have noticed how blinding bright the snow is on rocks, steps. Or sometimes how grey it can be.
As I only play in SkyrimVR, I haven't checked if this is also ok with normal SSE. If your having blending issues then give it a try, if it doesn't work for you just delete it with no harm done. No ESP or scripts, just a simple texture mod.
Installation -
Install Better Dynamic Snow with default settings;
- Vanilla replacement
- BDS replacement
Install Real Ice and Snow
Loot the plugins, on the left side of MO2 have BDS then RIS and make sure to load this mod after both
