Seasonal Landscapes - Unfrozen - xEdit Object patcher

What this mod does:

Used correctly, this tool will remove snow shaders and alternate snow textures from all Statics, Movable Statics, Furniture, and Activators in your mod list during summer. This only covers objects placed in an exterior worldspace covered by Seasons, and excludes objects already covered by the _SUM.ini files in the Seasons folder. This means most Vanilla objects will not be form swapped, since they are already covered by the original Unfrozen mod, and your output will mostly contain assets from mods. Similarly, objects covered by other patches for Unfrozen will be ignored.

The mod also searches for meshes on the format filenameSUM.nif suffix, and will use those for summer in case the original object uses the mesh filename.nif. This is limited to objects that should have been form swapped anyway, but nevertheless allows users to create custom meshes for summer.

Moreover, the scripts will search your mod list for appropriate form swaps, and only create a new object in case none exists. This minimises the size of the created .esp file. In some cases, no new .esp file is even needed.

What this mod does not:

It will not remove snow textures applied directly to the nif files, unless you provide a custom mesh for it (see above) and it either has a snow material property, or an alternate snow texture set in the .esp file. The mod is also limited to the above classes, and thus does not cover Flora, Trees, Grass, and Land Textures (those usually require manual work anyway).

The mod also only does the form swaps, which while being a good starting step, often is not enough. Seasonal Landscapes - Unfrozen also does a lot of landscape edits to get rid of grass from places which should not have it, so many mods require patches to account for this (either to resolve landscape conflicts or to remove grass from areas added by the mod). You may also need to provide blacklist files in winter to get rid of snow in areas which should not have it (such as covered by roofs).
