Description:
Adds a snowy visual effect to the player and NPCs when snow is falling.
Effects all live and deceased NPCs and wildlife with-in a set radius.
Version 4+ entire character gets snowy.
Version 5.5+ no snow on skin (not as consistent as ver4).
Keeping it simple philosophy:
Get Snowy doesn't do everything, and it never will because it doesn't use scripts at all.
Meaning No Save-Bloat, No Crash to desktop, No need for SKSE, and a simple safe uninstall.
Recommended - Brawl Bugs Patch
It's not required to run Get Snowy but it stops brawls from bugging into real fights.

Known bugs:
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
- Some items (from other mods) do not receive the effect. (See FAQ-2 below)
- Snow Effect appears while in ash-rain from DragonBorn-DLC. [install Raygereio's patch]
- Invisibility can combine with the snow to make some weird effects. [Can't fix]
- Upgrading from ver 4 to 5. The no-skin-snow feature doesn't work until the 2nd time it snows.
Tips:
- Install the Brawl Bugs Patch to avoid issues with brawls.
- FYI: How to temporarily remove the effect if you need to.
Compatibility:

- Wet & Cold - Ashes: Compatibility patch by UnmeiX [supplied on this download page]
- FrostFall: Fully compatible. [Compatibility supplied by Chesko]
- Footprints: this should be below/after Footprints in load-order. I don't actually know why. [via lendellprime]
- ApachiiSkyHair: Snow does not appear on the hair [See FAQ-2 below]
- This will work with all weather mods, provided that the precipitation classification is set to "snow"
- DragonBorn DLC: Bugged in ash rain -- Bethesda set their Ash to Snow *derp. (see FAQ-4 below) install Raygereio's patch
Frequently Asked Questions
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Q1: "The no skin-snow feature doesn't work sometimes (mostly NPCs)?"
--- Yes, unfortunately this is due to engine limitations. If it's immersion breaking I would suggest using ver4+ which is much more consistent.
Full explanation: To remove the snow i have to apply a 'skin only' shader after the Snow-shader has been applied, sometimes due to CPU cycles the skin shader sneeks in before the snow shader. I'm doing conditional checks but the spell system is rather limited.
Q2: "The effect doesn't appear, or looks strange, on [x] item from [x] mod."
---- This is a defect with the model, not the behaviour of the membrane shader applied by this mod.
Please contact the mod/model author and supply them with screen shots. There is literally nothing I can do to my mod to resolve this issue. (I think you'll find it's the same with the vanilla frost-magic effects too.)
Q3: "Can you change the effect to be more/less snowy?"
---- I can't appease everyone. But you can customise it yourself, see the article I've add called Editing the shader
Q4: "The snow effect appears in the Ash rain from DragonBorn. Why wont you fix it?"
---- install Raygereio's patch
---- (1) I'm not that interested in DragonBorn. (2) I'd have to re-release new versions of my mod with DragonBorn as a master, which will only make future updates and version-control a pain im not willing to suffer. (3) It's only an issue because Bethesda lazily set-up their ash-rain as snow, rather than making a new precipitation-classification.
