Tropical Skyrim -- A Climate Overhaul

[mothergoose729]

Saw this on the nexus today. I won't be using it, and its not right for STEP, but that doesn't stop it from being an amazing piece of work. The author completely reworked skyrim to be a tropical paradise. Snowy climates have been reworked into deserts, bogs and marshes are now swamps. New creatures, new building textures and some armor replacers, and new lighting and climate to match. From what I understand he even got blizzards to look like sand storms. 

 

I plan to give the mod a go on a new save at some point, just to have a different experience playing the game.

That is so cool! Now he just needs to remove/edit all the dialogue that mentions the snow. I just made a new character but I definitely want to try this out, I'll have to see how it looks without that over-the-top ENB.

I think the best use for this mod would be a second (or third, or fourth... ect) run through of the game. I have explored literally every inch of skyrim already, but this mod makes me want to get and reexplore places I already have seen in the vanilla style of the game.

That can totally be used to recreate Elsweyr.

That's awesome.  I agree - it would be great if this were used to create an entirely separate region that could be visited from the default game.  I was thinking about this the other day - get a team of modders to build a new landscape, and then gradually fill it with NPCs, dungeons, quests...

There are still far more issues than countable with this mod. Just read the comments section.

Wait, you mean like the Beyond Skyrim project?

That'll be amazing if it comes to fruition, but I do wonder if that project is a bit TOO ambitious. Some of it was started for Oblivion, but Skyrim came out before release!

Is it possible to have two instances of skyrim running on your pc? That way we could have one optimized for STEP and the other for silly Tropical Skyrim or similar mods!

You could use profiles in Mod Organizer and Skyrim Installation Swapper to achieve a similar effect...
