📋 About This Mod

SMIM was a huge project aiming to enhance a lot of Skyrim's meshes, and is now a staple mod in many people's mod builds. It is unfortunately no longer being worked on, but thanks to the talented modders wankingSkeever and Yuril, a bunch of more objects are now getting a similar treatment. As a Seasonal Landscapes user, I would like to see these mesh improvements during all seasons, so I created this mod. On top of this, SMIM's Solitude windmill did not have a seasonal variant, so that is included as well. Covered mods are:

  • []SMIM[/]

    []Solitude Objects SMIMed - Castle Dour Spire[/]

    []Solitude Objects SMIMed - Solitude well[/]

    []Whiterun Objects SMIMed - Dragonsreach Stairs - and some other stairs too[/]

    []Stones of Solitude - Better Blended Rock Piles[/]

    []FYX - Smooth Wells[/]

    []Improved Solitude Windmill (by RedBag; replaces the SMIM windmill)[/]

wankingSkeever has already created winter models for these and implemented form swaps, but my mod transforms them also during autumn.

For Stones of Solitude, I have provided both regular and Majestic Mountains meshes (based on Stones of Solitude - Majestic Mountains Rocks by Blackread). For Smooth Wells and Solitude well, I have provided both Vanilla and Water in Wells meshes (no parallax though). For all windmill meshes, I have provided alternative meshes with larger sails, as well as Simplicity of Snow variants for winter.

Note that you need my expansion/fixes to Seasonal Landscapes found at Seasonal Landscape Additions in order for the models to change in winter, as well as for seasonal changes to the destroyed Solitude well.

Seasonal Landscape patches already exist for the following of wankingSkeever's Skyrim Objects SMIMed mods, so I recommend you get these too:

  • []Whiterun Objects SMIMed (and fixes too): https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/77885[/]

    []Skyrim Objects SMIMed - Warmaiden's Holes: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/77883[/]

    I might add support for some other meshes in Yuril's FYX series later if necessary, but that also depends on the permissions of the individual mods.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Solid endorsement count (192) shows the community digs it.
  • Fills a niche gap by making SMIM and related meshes match the seasons.
  • Recent update (August 2026) means it's still being maintained.

⚠️ Cons

  • Requires multiple mods (SMIM, FYX, wankingSkeever's) to be useful, so it's not standalone.
  • Patch mods can break if the base mods update, so watch for conflicts.
  • Only covers specific mesh mods—if you don't use those, this does nothing for you.
🎯 Is This For You?
For Skyrim modders who use SMIM and want their improved meshes to change with the seasons. If you're running a seasonal setup with mods like Seasonal Landscapes, this is a must-have. Skip if you don't use the listed mesh mods—it's purely a compatibility patch.

💡 Beginner Tips

  • If you use a mod manager, let it handle the file placement to avoid overwriting issues.
