One might think: "Another snow mod?!?!" But this is merely a small upload for the ones who don't have interest in my snow mod Click me for snow! but do want to have the grass and porch fixes with EA's snow! Especially since I noticed some people really wanted my snow mod just because of this small little fix I included.

So here is the standalone version for you EA people! :D

What changes? Not much actually! All that will be fixed are the grass patches or dust-looking textures that some outside objects and surfaces leave (Like doors and bonfires). I think, despite it being technically a lazy fix, it's the best fix for this issue! :) This won't, however, affect your game's performance in any way. It's basically an alpha map change (for the ones knowing what this is ;))

A few things that are good to know:

  • This is an override mod.
  • This mod can be used with game version 1.67/1.69 but also any versions that came with seasons (that is, if you haven't updated your game since 2012 :p)
  • Textures in this mod are all EA's. I just edited the alpha channel :)

❗ Known issue(s):

There aren't really. While it fixes some really awkward snow patches (See picture with the community hall) It does have a habit of making roofs with flooring under them look like they've been snowed under while that's realistically not possible. Unfortunately, because EA made it this way I can't fix that :/

Conflicts You cannot in any way merge this fix with my snow mod. The snow mod itself already has this fix in it, meaning that you WILL NOT need this mod if you have my snow mod installed. This mod is therefore only meant for EA snow. Overall, as long as it's not a snow override, it should work with everything! :)

The end Any bugs, feedback, etc? Feel free to tell me! The more feedback the better!

After hundreds of coffees, I finally finished it! It took me some time because the bones weren’t working properly, and TSRW didn’t like me for a few moments. But here we are! A baby blanket, converted from the sims Medieval!

~Cassandra’s shoes/Gothic boots~
by Lyralei

Now what’s so special and nice about those shoes is that I gave it a really nice specular map (which can be seen in the 3rd preset!) And I actually really love the bump map on those shoes!

Yes, I set my own custom camera mod up for download! I lost my old one while recognizing my mods folder, and after figuring out how I made it again, I finally ‘recovered’ my package camera mod file! (not really, just edited the default one)

~Snowglobes~
by Lyralei

I’m one of those people who could literally watch a snowglobe for hourssss. Soooo that’s the main reason why I made some more snowglobes! I did used the Mortimer and Bella snowglobe as a base though…(And tweaked some stuff so the glass looks kinda different compared to the Mort and Bella one)
