                                                   Recent Patch Notes
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
    Version 1.4.1 - 21st Nov 22

    Hotfixed duplicate form ID.


    Version 1.4 - 20th Nov 22
    Main SoS_Seasonspatch.esp is now unfortunately too large for ESL flag. other plugins will remain ESP-FE.

    New objects:
    - Added new custom wooden shack floors for use where shacks or awnings are placed directly on landscape mesh. This enables 'no snow' decals to be added.
    - Added new custom stable floor base for Windhelm. 

    Worldspace edits:
    - Made worldspace edits to landscape mesh where it clips dirt through the bottom of some statics making it impossible to remove snow in those area''s without an edit (i try to avoid worldspace edits where i can and keep them minimal) edits at the following locations:
    + Ivarstead Nordic barrow
    + Labrinthian Nordic Barrow
    + Windhelm stables
    + Silent Moons Camp Nordic Barrow

    Removed snow from existing assets:
    - Removed snow from Morthal, Windhelm, Dawnstar & Winterhold. (due to the way that seasons of skyrim adds additional snow in winter it covers many objects that would otherwas not be covered in these already snowy regions. These changes then have to be accounted for in covered areas).
    - Removed snow from Castle Volkihar

    Added snow: 
    - Added snow to some Hearthfire assets

    Environmental changes: 
    - Improved a number of dirt cliffs, rocks and tundra statics to improve the transition of snow on the edges of dirt cliffs. (still more to go in next update) 
    - Fixed some rocks that were swapping with Ice variants rather than snow in locations that did not make sense.

    Fixes: 
    - Fixed shelf position in the cave behind whiterun. 
    - Changed blue palace floor to a swap rather than an overwrite to improve compatibility and improved the no snow decal so there are no longer any hard lines.
    - Fixed WR fence rubble

    ** New Files **

    1) Winter Specific ESL file. 
    Added a new optional file that addresses issues that Seasons of Skyrim cannot object swap for. This includes Stockade Gates. Unfortunately as these objects are not supported by Seasons Swaps this file is designed to be turned on manually when playing in winter in the same way that you need to for Grass Cache. 

    Obtained patch permissions to start working on patches for: 
    - Lux family of mods
    - SMIM
    - FYX mods


    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
                                                        Additional Info
    ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

    Required feedback from users: 
    - Need for patches of major landscape/city mods? majestic mountains?
    - Any specific issues with stability (unlikely), compatibility or mesh issues.

    development plan:
    - Complete remaining major areas
    - Add SMIM & FYX patches
    - Add Lux compatibility as required

    Upcoming Patches: 
    - GGUNIT has provided perms for Lux, Lux Orbis, Lux Via patches.
    - Perms obtained for SMIM & FYX patches.
    - OCS Patch fully complete, but no perms obtained at this stage. 
    - Plan for JK Skyrim patch in distant future.


    Current plan: 
    1) Fix existing issues as they are discovered, reduce conflicts and improve compatibility. 
    2) Add patches for major conflicts
    3) continue to expand mod
    4) Add patches for soft conflicts (SMIM, FYX etc)

    hey guys - quick update. 

    I have noticed some of the posts and i will have a closer look soon. 

    My Daughter decided to arrive unexpectedly at 32 weeks (2 months earlier than expected) and has been in hospital since. As such i have been unable to give any time to the mod in the past 2 weeks. I will get a chance to take a look after christmas i hope, but it will be a little bit until the next update. Sorry for any inconvenience.

    Those who had seam problems with the bright and dark snow textures conflicting in some areas with snow mods, download - Paraphernalia - Snow Colour Fixes mod, that helped me fix with those problems

    These worked wonders with the parallax textures I have + seasons. However, during winter wrstairswater01 in Whiterun (stairs going to gild tree) won’t be covered by snow. Any thoughts? I have Skyrim 202X + SRP AIO.

    SolidudeWIN terrain has a large number of seams (no transitions at the edges of the terrain)
    And some textures may flicker
    I am trying to fix this issue in NIF, but there is really nothing I can do. I hope someone can solve these problems

      I am working on fixing all issues I find in this mod. Just be patient. The terrain seams are as far as I remember due to inconsistent textures and vertex alpha settings. The z-fighting decals are mostly due to incorrect alpha flags, but some of them are not and required a bit more sophisticated resolutions.

      Is this what is causing my problem in the volcanic tundra or is there something wrong on my end? These are those cracks/fissures that have jets of steam coming out.

    This mod has issues, there's a lot of z-fighting. Here's a video example: 
    Ive tried removing every single mod, except seasons of skyrim, simplicity of snow and their requirements, it all works well. As soon as I add this mod I get tons of issues. Not sure what to do

    Would be great to get a patch for Markarth Fixed AF as well. There are several conflicting meshes.

    Could we get a patch for Glorious Doors of Skyrim? The mesh for the Riften main gate seems to be conflicting.

    I noticed that some meshes in "Meshes\dungeons\imperial\exteriorice" folder has this normal map texture in them: "textures\dungeons\imperial\impextdecals01ice_n.dds" but checking the texuture folder I don't see it. Is this intended? Thank you!

      Not sure if it is intended or not but for me it is throwing DynDOLOD warnings:
      Warning: File not found textures\dungeons\imperial\impextdecals01ice_n.dds. Used by Meshes\dungeons\imperial\exteriorice\impexticetowershellbase01.nif Skyrim.esm ImpExtIceTowerShellBase01 [STAT:0006F74A]

      That's just 1 of about a dozen warnings.

      yep, I'm having those too, mostly involved "impexticetowershell...." nifs. The"_n.dds" texture is for normal map aka how lighting affects it. But checking everywhere, including the Skyrim's texture bsa files, there is a "impextdecals01ice.dds" but not "impextdecals01ice_n.dds", so I start to think that either: author forgot to delete that leftover texture path in the nifs or authot forgot to include the .dds file. Nevertheless, it seems to do no harm for the game so I think we could ignore this.

      It should be "textures\dungeons\imperial\impextdecals01_n.dds", but there are also a lot of other texture errors in those files.

     Whiterun City cannot convert normally, and many places are gray and dark.
    Simplicity of Snow It's the latest version。
    The connection between light and dark is very obvious.

    I think there is a typo in the nosnow ini file:
    <Warning: Plugin filename "Skyrim.esm`" is invalid. File: seasons\sos_seasonspatch_nosnow.ini Line 486: 0x054CA9~Skyrim.esm`>

      Getting this error too, did you find an answer?

      Yeah, you need to edit the nosnow file: find the line 486 in the ini I mentioned above for record 0x054CA9 and delete the grave accent after Skyrim.esm so that it would be "Skyrim.esm" instead of "Skyrim.esm`".
