About this mod

Makes all plants and fences in Dawnstar snowy in a City Trees patch; also a BOS version compatible with everything, which doesn't need City Trees

Changelogs
I'm a huge fan of the City Trees series, they really improve the ambiance in whatever area they improve. However when I visited Dawnstar, I noticed the plants and some of the fences were not snowy and seemed out of place to me. I decided to write myself a patch to swap all the non-snowy versions for ones with snow on them, for better immersion in my game. And share it with you!

I am providing three versions to choose from:
An ESL flagged esp which replaces all the non-snowy plants and fences placed in Dawnstar by City Trees with snowy versions
An ESL flagged esp which does the same thing, but is compatible with the Cities of the North patch for Dawnstar
An ESL flagged esp containing the snowy plants, with a Base Object Swapper ini file to swap them. This version is compatible not only with City trees, but any mod that adds plants or fences to Dawnstar. It only affects Dawnstar, but it will swap out anything in the list below.

The following plants and fences are switched for snowy versions:
Mountain Flowers, provided by 3-D Cathedral Mountain Flowers Modders Resource by Dr. Jacopo (permissions open):
    Blue 01, 02; Purple 01, 02; Red 01, 02; and Yellow 01, 02 (snowy yellow flowers are an edit I made)
Other plants, snowy versions provided by Shrubs of Snow by WSkeever (permissions open)
    DeathBell 01, 02;  DragonsTongue 01, 02;  Lavender 01; Nightshade 01, 02; Thistle 01
    Fall Forest Fern Cluster 01, 02; Sword Fern 01-06; Sword Fern Cluster 01-06; TreeClover 01
Vanilla models:
    Pine Shrub 01-03; Snowberry 01,02; Thicket 01; Vine Maple 01; FenceWoven 01, 02

FYI: The snowy models of all the plants except for the mountain flowers are based on the original Skyrim vanilla non-snowy models. This may look less appealing than what you are used to in your game. If you have a snowy model that you prefer, please let it overwrite this mod's files so they appear in your game and are consistent with your non-snowy models.

NOTE: I use Nature of the Wild Lands but I disabled the City Trees Addon plugin that swaps those trees in.. they are too green for the snowy area.. I preferred the snowy pines placed there instead. The plugin is Dawnstar_Addon1.

ALSO NOTE: this mod does not touch trees at all.. just plants and fences. If you have a tree issue, it may be that you have a tree/flora overhaul that replace snowy versions of plants with trees, or models which are taller/wider than City Trees intended. This may cause clipping with buildings or other plants. You may need a patch for your particular flora overhaul if that happens.

Future Plans?
- edit the dragons tongue flower model to be less vibrant and a little frosty
- edit the deathbell model to make the petals have frost on them as well
- provide a patch for a snowy Cathedral 3-D dragon's tongue (would need to edit textures to create it, takes time)
- possibly provide a patch for a snowy Cathedral 3-D nightshade model (would need to edit the texture for it, takes time)
