LE Skyrim Autumn Season Overhaul

[abborre]

Since it's autumn, it got me to thinking that there should be a kind of autumn climate overhaul mod, similar to all the winter, spring, summer and tropical overhauls there are for Skyrim, so that those who like autumn can get in the mood, even when in Skyrim. I have not been able to find such a mod.

 

Now, I don't really know how much work this would actually require. This isn't as much a request, as it is a suggestion, in case some modder capable and interested in this kind of mod (who for some reason hasn't already thought of it) finds it a good idea.

 

I guess this may be kind of a late post, since autumn is already here, and I have no idea how much work actually goes into these kinds of mods or how much time it'd take to make. I imagine that doing it the "easy" way by just replacing a bunch of trees, plants and textures with ones from the Rift wouldn't be a MONSTEROUS undertaking, but I really don't know the technicalities that goes into these sort of things, so it may be more complicated than I think.

 

Personally, I think it'd be best if the aim was to transform Skyrim in a not entirely lore-friendly or immersive way, by basically replacing many of the evergreens and such plants that don't really change during autumn with leaf trees, preferably introducing more variety amongst them compared to the trees we see in the Rift. I'd say it should also involve a wider range of color than seen in the Rift, where the trees are mostly golden, it'd be nice to see more orange and red leaves as well. Also maybe the spriggans could be retextured to be season appropriate, a spriggan with red leaves would look cool.

 

I don't really have any expectation that anyone will do this, neither in part or in whole, especially not when autumn is already here, but I'm posting anyway, in case a miracle feels like happening. I guess if anyone wants this kind of mod they can leave a comment to show their support for this idea.

 

Thank you for reading and perhaps considering the idea.

I was just thinking the same thing as I'm preparing for October with a Halloween in Skyrim mod it would be nice if the trees would change color. You could try http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/42957/? Shades of Autumn ENB, most of the trees in Skyrim wouldnt change for the seasons because its always cold in Skyrim and the trees wouldn't need to hibernate. An ENB would go a long way to change the feel of the game. Along with some nice holiday decorations, if you already have alot of mods installed http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/44654/?tab=2&navtag=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.nexusmods.com%2Fskyrim%2Fajax%2Fmodfiles%2F%3Fid%3D44654&pUp=1 this one might be a good fit or if youre feeling adventurous you could go with the Epic Halloween Overhaul http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/24385. Not really my cup of tea but you might like it.

"... most of the trees in Skyrim wouldnt change for the seasons because its always cold in Skyrim and the trees wouldn't need to hibernate."

Yes, I acknowledged that most of Skyrim's trees have needles and wouldn't really change much. That's why I suggested that a less lore-firendly and immersive rout be taken, to actually replace some of the evergreens and such with trees bearing leaves, so we'd get more autumn colors in there.
