Apexcode1990 Posted February 24 Share Posted February 24 Hello Community, So I'm modding Skyrim currently and I run across some hideous textures/effects of which I distain. I can only describe what I'm seeing as Vanilla Skyrim's attempt to "Frost Cover" things. Really just looks like someone took a white can of spray paint and did whatever :( It's not snow... No snow is thick and fluffy and beautiful. This is more of like a very thin layer of Ice or Frost on the ground, covering some grasses and areas (Very Poorly). Its really terrible. These effects are prevalent ESPECIALLY in Morthal. I also have great issue with the small iceflows / ice buildup allegedly "floating" on the waters surface in Morthal. Here is a link to the offensive and ugly textures in question: https://imgur.com/a/y2KaJwv I'm writing you lovely people today because these Vanilla eye sores have assaulted my retina for far too long. Would any of you brave souls have the courage to assist me in vanquishing what ever these are once and for all by suggesting a Mod/Fix/Work around specifically tailored to tackle the issues described?

Yeah, I have to admit, I’ve noticed that too—especially when I actually stop to look around instead of just fast traveling from one mission to the next. That frost effect really does stand out in a way that isn’t exactly flattering. I just recently came back and, to be honest, I don’t have a team to work with right now. That said, I’ve kept track of mods in the background, always wishing I could contribute more but never really having the right connections to reach out. That being said, let’s see if I can point you toward some mods that might help improve or replace those textures. There are definitely some great visual overhauls out there that could make Morthal’s environment feel more natural and immersive. Let me know if you’re looking for something specific, and I’ll do my best to help!

Apexcode1990 Posted February 27 Author Share Posted February 27 Thanks ZeroOblivion27, Yea after a bit more experience I'm starting to think that its the way skyrim blends snowy textured landscapes into non snowy textured landscapes. probably through shaders maybe? Doesn't seem like anyone has gotten it right just yet in the moding community. I'm currently running Nature of the Wild lands Landscape and ground cover overhaul and it seems to help a lot, also running Nordic snow which has helped the overall appearance of snow, but the jagged snow/frost seams are still there and prevalent all over skyrim although less noticeable. Thanks for the reply, maybe the realistic snow mod will help. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

anjenthedog Posted March 3 Share Posted March 3 Yes, but not specifically addressing the snow issue you presented. Was going to say I use Real Clouds, and True Storms, as well as a fully outfitted Community Shaders to enrich my views. Also The Imaginator to address saturation brightness and contract directly as a "screen control". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
