What?
A small patch to display Frostfall stats via iWant Status Bars icons and Skyrim native weather widgets based on Frostfall conditions.
How?
Design philosophy
Provide a shim between Frostfall’s API and Skyrim’s UI.
In Game
It should "just work." As long as Frostfall is started and iWant Status Bars is installed, the icons should seamlessly appear and transition.
Native Element Weather states are:
Load Order
Compatibility
Should work with anything that doesn’t break the native HUD.
Why?
The launch of Skyrim Creation Club (CC) in 2017 brought new features to the base game in order to support it’s new offerings. One of the most visible early changes was the addition of temperature icons to the HUD. While it appeared, to me at least, that these were a component of the Survival Mode product given away at the start of the CC, the assets are actually in the base game files (part of one of those many annoying, SKSE-breaking updates Bethesda did). With that knowledge I set about integrating the two.
When?
This project was originally developed in May 2020.
Potential improvements

Native Element Weather states are:
- Freezing = Bright white snowflake = Frostfall Freezing and Freezing to Death exposure levels
- Cold = Snowflake = Frostfall Cold temperature and not Freezing or Freezing to Death exposure levels
- Neutral = No icon = Frostfall Neutral temperature
- Warm = Sun = Frostfall Warm temperature
- Fire = Bright sun = Near a Frostfall heat source
Load Order
- Load anywhere, no dependencies
