• Non-"single pass" snow shader
  • Avoids "white paint" like shiny look.
  • Uses your own snow textures.
  • Supports parallax on most meshes.
  • The following objects retain "single pass" snow shader, so don't add parallax to them:
    • Windhelm Palace of Kings: to prevent object occlusion issues.
    • Word Walls: to prevent snow from obscuring the words.
      
    
    
• Removes snow under roofs
• Fixes issues with other non-"single pass" snow shader mods, examples:
  • Riekling structures
  • Farmhouse roof edge
  • Dragon bone
    
• Applies to all objects that use vanilla shaders
• ESL-flagged
  

Requirements

• Static Mesh Improvement Mod - SMIM
  

Compatibility

• Mod is designed to be compatible.
• Beyond Skyrim - Bruma patch included.
• Load ESP after anything that edits snow material shaders. Such as:
  • Majestic mountains.
    
• Not compatible with any Riekling architecture retexture that changes the shape of the transparency.
  • Compatible Riekling architecture retexture: Detailing the Eldrich - Higher-Res Riekling Architecture
    
• City of the North patch
• Northpoint patch now included
  
  

How to Patch

• Mods that add their own material shaders will not be affected by this mod's changes.
  • Change the new snow material shaders to non-"single pass".
    
• Mods that add new snow-covered structures will not be affected by this mod's snow removal under roof implementation.
  • Add a custom "no snow" decal to the nif to remove snow under the roof.
    
• .Nifs with BSTriShape/NiTriShape nodes with NiAlphaProperty will not have snow cover.
  • If the NiAlphaProperty property was added by mistake on a mesh that doesn't actually have transparency, just remove the NiAlphaProperty property.
  • If there is actual transparency, we need to create a custom snow decal.
    
• .Nifs with BSTriShape/NiTriShape nodes with no BSLightingShaderProperty will crash and will need a patch.
  • Delete these BSTriShape/NiTriShape nodes since they are invisible anyways.
