Weynon Priory is a building right next to Chorrol, so yes.

I am getting it to a playable state. But this mod compilation/overhaul looks amazing and adds so much stuff.

Am I the only person who thinks that mod makes it look LESS realistic?

Looks like that "Paint World" from Oblivion.

High saturation is real life.

That...I hope that's sarcastic. Because if not....I probably have vision problems XD (well, other then farsightedness, which I knew about)

[Sensei]

Pfff, everyone knows that desaturation is real life.



Grey! So realistic!

Blame Stephen Spielberg for that one.

Huh, interesting.

I pretty much went to the drawing board.

Tropical skyrim is cool for screenshots...but, not for gameplay/immersion. "Wow, sure is cold here...brrr..."...not my idea of fun.

The one I posted above is actually pretty broken, and actually looks more like if world of warcraft had real 3d graphics. It wasn't very popular on imgur either, compared to Tropical Skyrim. And I want my Skyrim to be both fun (for me) and popular for others...as I like taking screenshots and what not for artsy stuff and not very fun if feedback is bad.

So, deciding to avoid anything that makes Skyrim look warm and green...and wanting something different from vanilla Skyrim (but guess a tad bit the same)...I went with one that changes everything to Winter. This is both great for me...as all my mods work (frostfall, realistic needs, etc)...makes it more hardcore survival (with frostfall) and looks pretty cool. Kind of a barren wasteland kind of effect. So, pretty much Skyrim, but colder and harsher. It is even better with the ENB I chose, as it makes it look very barren, desolate and harsh. So, this actually may not be everyones cup of tea...but it is actually vastly more lore friendly and fits Skyrim a lot more. And looks cool to me. Snow drifts everywhere, huge snowstorms, frozen lakes etc.

So, hopefully the feedback turns out good. I'll be taking screenshots some time today...if not it will be Saturday. At the moment, I'm making sure everything works.

Well... in lore terms, Skyrim's climate is about right. It's about equivalent in climate to Northern Europe and Russia; cold, sure, and winter is harsh with lots of snow, but it's not actually arctic. People just can't farm if there's never a green period. Still, for Skyrim in actual winter, that mod sounds about right.

Here you guys go. Finally got Skyrim to how I wanted. I am NOT aiming for realism this time around...more of a cinematic feel...if you can call it that. If it looks like realism to you, that is great. Really, I just wanted something different, fit Skyrim and look good. And yeah, I kept my character Isabella...and you probably know how she looks if you saw old screenshots. So...don't expect anything that goes in lore or the environment ;P Everything else fits the environment. And every other race fits the environment. With that said, hopefully no one complains about my character Not changing her, spent over 20 hours making her the first time around...yeah...playing with barbies

ANYWAY...with that said. Personally I love the way this came out. The environments look great, tons of snow blowing everywhere...really like how it looks. Actually, way better than tropical or any green mod. With that said, hopefully you guys like it just ignore my character

Skyrim looks pretty good in the winter, but I question why the fountain in Whiterun seems to still work.

Whiterun's not on a mountain or anything, so it's probably not terribly cold. At least, not cold enough to freeze running water.

Now, I don't know what it is like way up north...but ground water doesn't freeze here even high in the mountains. There is always underground water sources. So if assuming that is correct in areas like Skyrim is based in...I can rp it as they take water from below the ground

(edit: And going by the above reply. Skyrim in winter would be REALLY cold even not in the mountains. But as far as I know, underground temps remain pretty constant)

So..you're using Frostfall...WHAT THE HELL KINDA PROTECTION DOES THAT OUTFIT PROVIDE? Better get that enchanted with some kick-ass resist frost, because that looks like limited protection to me.

Well...I did stand out naked in a blizzard in real life once. Actually, true story...but I was wearing underwear cause I'm not THAT crazy.

It was actually not bad. Barely felt anything since it numbed my skin. When fog comes in (california) it feels far colder than it does when I stood out in the blizzard. Which is kinda funny. I can walk around with limited clothes in snow/blizzard...I have to put on three jackets and two pairs of pants and a heavy shirt when its in the 60s and foggy (edit: I lie actually, it just has to be in the 60s and its too cold, but only if there is a breeze/wind)...unless its snow/blizzard...kinda weird...)

[Duuvian]

What real life season equivalent does Skyrim start in, and if you were to say sleep until Winter is there a change in the weather?
