Ensure this mod is *under* SMIM and Ruins Clutter Improved and that the meshes included in this mod are *overwriting* those in said mods. You can ensure this by making sure this mod is below SMIM and Ruins Clutter Improved in your load order. I won't be responding to any comments about this issue. Follow what I said and you won't have any problems in game.
Some people have asked about the esp file. The Western Watchtower where you face your first dragon is a little jacked. The top half is an ice tower and the bottom half is the correct moss tower base. I've replaced the top half with the moss tower mesh and fixed any navmesh issues since the models are slightly different.
Yes and I've made it and have been testing it and I will release it soon. Its on my discord and a few users have been using it and I've heard positive things, so I think it's almost ready.
Possible that Dyndolod version 103 has broke this again. Top of the tower doesn't appear anymore :( Rebuilt Dyndolod, etc. Can't see it floating anywhere either, simply invisible.
I'm trying to fix an issue with the mesh from some imperial towers: https://imgur.com/aXPMQDA
Some info: nothing is overwriting the mod (it's way after SMIM and the clutter mod), UV-Tweaks is not installed, the mesh seems to come from the USSEP BSA.
I'm don't think it's this mods fault, but it seems to rely on certain meshes, and those meshes are not 100% right in my install. I try to find a pointer were to look.
I found the culprit: Prometeus' No Snow Under The Roof. It replaces meshes like this one (impexticetowershellstairs01_snow.nif), to add the 3D snow piles on top. But for some reason, the UV mapping is completely different than vanilla. Given that the vast majority of people in the Skyrim community uses this mod, i'd say the issue is very serious, albeit maybe not noticeable by everyone.
I edited the UV mapping of the meshes by eye (from x=1.0, y=1.0 to x=0.44, y=0.43) and the texture size matches now. Didn't mess with the offset yet. But got another issue - the projected snow effect from Simplicity Of Snow (i think) is not matching the new texture size:

Do you have an idea how to fix that? I don't even know what determines the parameters of this snow effect. I thought that the normal map is used, but i only edited the mesh UV scale, the normal map of the texture didn't change. I have no idea where to look.
Would you consider making a patch for No Snow Under The Roof? Or do you have an idea how to fix the rest of the issue?
[UPDATE] Some of the Helgen fort meshes from the USSEP i had to edit as well, because the texture size was too small on some of the meshes (not all!). I set UV scale from 1.0 to 0.5. Fortunately there is no snow effect on top, so everything looks fine.

So those don't have parallax options?
Sorry to bother you, but there is a pathway mistake for the SMIM folder : the "clutter" one is missing.
