📋 About This Mod

This is the second mod in my series to integrate Seasons of Skyrim with larger mods that expand the playable areas. I would have liked to include all features that I put into my Vigilant mod already in the first version, but pending some core assets, that will still have to wait for a while. Instead, this is featuring a full compability patch between Seasonal Landscapes - Unfrozen and Legacy of the Dragonborn and Seasons expanded to LotD's custom worldspaces. Noticing that someone else released some attempt of such a patch, but without resolving mod conflicts and leaving a bit to desire overall, I saw the need to finish my already quite far-fleshed work on this. While that modder has now resolved most of the issues, I think you should still stick to mine, especially if you want the future features I plan to add.

As of v1. 2, this has been fully updated to LOTD v6. I am still providing support for LOTD v5, though, which is configurable in the FOMOD installer. Make sure to select the version that applies to your game setup - this will not be detected automatically.

Included features

  • []Seasons expanded to Pale Pass, Windcaller's Retreat, and Sancre Tor Courtyard.[/]

    []A blacklist for the Dev Aveza, so it does not get covered in snow during winter.[/]

    []A patch for Seasonal Landscapes - Unfrozen, clearing grass from all major excavation sites during summer, and at roads and buildings/camps in the new worldspaces. It also resolves landscape conflicts between the mods. Patches for Helgen Reborn, Ryn's Dragon Mounds Collection, Unique Border Gates, SMIM, LOTD - Pale Pass Extension, and the Ice-like glaciers option for Seasonal Landscape Additions are included. The Pale Pass patch requires the Bruma add-on (LOTD v6) or the Bruma version (LOTD v5).[/]

    []An updated patch for Seasonal Landscapes, covering a few more meshes (both new ones for LOTD v6 and missing ones for both versions). As of version 1. 6, these include a winter mesh for the Solitude ground. This is visually consistent with the ones provided in Seasonal Landscape Additions v1. 11. Also included is an updated mesh replacing the autumn variant of Erikur's house with a version based on LotD's custom mesh (not needed if using LOTD v5 and getting the patch for Erikur's House at Legacy of The Dragonborn - Museum Exterior Fixes).[/]

    []Seasonal variants for the statue at the museum courtyard. Currently only exists in 4K. Not needed if using the Seasonal Landscapes patch at Blue Palace Terrace Patch Collection.[/]

    []A patch for Seasonal Weathers Framework, making LOTD's regions and worldspaces affected by the seasonal settings.[/]

Planned future features

[]A Seasonal Simplicity of Snow patch. Work is done at the museum, but will require the full mod I am making to not look out of place (since Simplicity of Seasons is a buggy mess that I cannot recommend to anyone in its current condition, I rather hold on to that feature until my successor is finished). Due to the much larger scope of Legacy of the Dragonborn than Vigilant, I am not going to release a temporary solution as I did for that mod. Screenshots are available at the Legacy of the Dragonborn Discord page.[/]

[]A blacklist to remove snow from places that should not have it during winter. Far from finished. Will require the complete blacklist and a framework for circumventing the main form swap that I plan to release with the above mod.[/]

[]Possibly some landscape work to further clear snow from sheltered areas during winter. Have not looked into it yet and might not be needed.[/]

[*]LotD is quite compatible with grass mods, so I am not planning to release a patch for Landscape Fixes For Grass Mods within the scop
