Description
Seasons of Skyrim is a SKSE based framework for adding seasons, based on config files. It can swap model/terrain/LOD/grass, as well as do dynamic snow coverage in winter.
Seasons ships with a proof-of-concept automated setup for Winter, where it will generate the appropriate form swaps based on your load order.
Some models may not be detected and swapped (trees in particular, need to have the same model name with Snow and without). It cannot swap models if winter variants don't exist. Some objects may also be swapped incorrectly. Swapped objects may have snow textures that don't match the landscape.
This autogenerated Winter formswap can now be disabled from applying. See po3_SeasonsOfSkyrim.ini (requires loading into the game once for the new ini settings to be generated)
The esl-flagged SnowOverSkyrim.esp adds some snow variants of statics not found in the base game. It is also required for the base mod to work. Disabling this plugin WILL crash the game.
