This mod removes snow shaders from objects that shouldn't be snowy in my opinion. Objects in worldspaces like treelogs, rocks, barrels, etc, etc.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 153 endorsements and nearly 9k downloads, so it's proven useful.
- Targets a specific annoyance—snow on objects that shouldn't have it—without overhauling the whole game.
- Comes with patches for popular mods like USSEP and Lanterns of Skyrim II, so it plays nice with common setups.
⚠️ Cons
- Only covers objects in certain worldspaces, so you might still see snowy objects elsewhere.
- The BOS version is still in the works, so you're stuck with the current plugin-based approach for now.
- Compatibility with other mods that alter the same objects could be an issue, especially if they don't have patches.
For Skyrim players who care about visual consistency and hate seeing snow on objects that logically shouldn't be covered. If you're running a modded setup with USSEP or Lanterns of Skyrim II, the included patches make this a no-brainer. Skip if you're not bothered by snow shaders or if you prefer a more comprehensive snow overhaul.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you use Lanterns of Skyrim II, load the patch after 'Embers XD - Patch - Lanterns of Skyrim II.esp' to avoid conflicts.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2 to install and manage the patches easily.
- Check the mod's images to see exactly which objects are affected before you install, so you know what to expect.
