Seasonal Alchemy Add-on - Critters and Fungi and Farm Crops

Critters and fungi and farm crops - oh my!

Seasonal variation in Skyrim is amazing. Seasonal Alchemy does a great job of changing the ordinary alchemy ingredients during the various seasons. Some ingredients will change appearance in certain seasons. Others will disappear. Most will only be harvestable during select seasons.

This mod expands seasonal variation to a number of other natural phenomena that would immersively have it:

• []Critters (optional): Ants, bees, butterflies, dragonflies, fireflies, and moths will disappear during Winter and parts of Spring and Autumn. Ants and bees are active slightly longer than other critters.[/]

  []Fungi: harvestable fungi - all the various mushrooms - disappear during Winter and Spring.[/]

  []Farm crops: cabbage, wheat, leek and potato plants disappear during Winter and Spring. Gourds (and CACO pumpkins) are not covered, because you really need to use Kabunouveau's replacers.[/]

  []Bird nests: Wild bird nests are empty during Autumn and Winter. Chicken nests are empty in Winter.[/]

  Requirements

  The mod requires Seasonal Alchemy. An optional patch allows new versions of Seasonal Alchemy's seasonal inis to take precedence over the Seasons inis of Seasonal Landscapes, Shrubs of Snow, and Turn of the Seasons (because if you are using Seasons of Skyrim, surely you're using one or more of these).

  The optional seasonal variation for critters requires CritterSpawn Congestion Fix or CritterSpawn - Script Call Reduction. Critters cannot be swapped with the Seasons of Skyrim framework, so a script-based solution is necessary. The new scripts have to attach to the proper version of the basic critterspawn scripts. Using a different version (e.g. vanilla or USSEP) of these scripts will cause... issues.

  Optional seasonal variation for other mods

  The mod contains seasonal patches for:

  • []Complete Alchemy & Cooking Overhaul[/]

    []CACO Farm Overhaul[/]

    []DMT's Stuie Appleseeds Apple Trees in Skyrim[/]

    []Ducks and Swans[/]

    []Grow Tomatoes SSE Port[/]

    []Harvestable Elves Ear and Frost Mirriam SSE[/]

    []Nature's Bounty: specifically the Don't Leave me Hanging - Plants mod[/]

    []Sepolcri[/]

    []Tundra Berries[/]

    []Waterplants' water lilies (the patch works with both the lily only and the full version)[/]

    Non-Seasons adjustments

    The mod includes four optional Base Object Swapper inis that make various non-Seasons related changes:

    [*]The first swaps the Elves Ear and Frost Mirriam plants from Harvestable Elves Ear and Frost Mirriam and CACO for the (superior, IMHO) plant models from
