is there a mod that adds a race that can trade with you in the winter? winter has always been a dull season for me so i'm hoping something like this would help

Sure, its pretty common in most mods to add a race(or many) that is active in the winter. Masterwork, Genesis, ZM5's mods, Direforged, LDF Lite (a compilation of ZM5's works and a few others), ROTMK, etc... are all good examples of mods that add plenty of races to interact with in the world. I left out a ton too, just go take a look at the modding releases subforum.

If you'd like to mod it in yourself, here's how:
Open up entity_default.txt, find the section for either humans or elves (whichever you want to come in the winter). Scroll down until you see the line [ACTIVE_SEASON:SUMMER] (or SPRING). This is the token that controls when they interact with you. You have two choices, either replace "SUMMER"/"SPRING" with "WINTER" (no quotation marks), or give them a second [ACTIVE_SEASON] token.  It is valid for a civ to have multiple active seasons. Have fun

thanks! i'll look around a bit and if I don't find anything I like i'll just add humans to come during winter

another question, what would happen if two or more races were set to come during the same seasons, could I reasonable have both elves and humans come to trade during winter?

Yeah, the game is built to withstand more than one set of caravans hanging out at your depot at the same time.

alright added [ACTIVE_SEASON:WINTER] to elves and humans, one last question, do I need a regen to make use of this?

Im not sure, try making the change in your save's raws and then test it out edit: was wrong, ty vjmdhzgr

Yes. Civilizations are determined when the world is generated, so changes to the entity raws do nothing without making a new world.

That's the conventional rule of thumb, but entities do have stuff that can be adjusted on the fly. Siege/trade criteria come to mind. It's simple enough of a toggle that it's worth trying.
