pro tip for anyone out there who for some reason *really* wants to lose absolutely massive numbers of hours of their life and especially sleep without even noticing. try modding skyrim. its slow. its hard. but it IS free.

#genuinely have spent. like. 50(?) hours over the past 4 days #getting seasons and a flora mod to play together right. which. sounds insane given how short that list is but.#i have learned a lot of modding terms :thumbsup:#i would now feel comfortable manually swapping files Inside a mod or mod patch.#which i may have to do given that the ground in riften isnt swapping out in winter and i *SHOULD* just be able to duplicate the ground-#-texture from the exterior then rename it to the riften winter ground name and load it on top of seasonal landscapes #which. im still a little iffy on the jargon but i think would just be making my own patch.#since its not any other mod overruling (i used more informative console to check) its just Not being overridden by anything In Winter #when i get home from work im gonna learn dyndolod properly and generate terrain and tree LODS #AND. grass caches! for performance but also for LODs :)#(LODs are low-res billboards put in place in distant areas so its not blank space (minecraft eg does not have LODs so the world just ends))#and rn my LOADED area is seasonal. but my distant areas are VANILLA. so the ground is all wrong and in the rift is a wall of yellow trees.#so i need new LODs.#my posts
