    Together with Bionic, we have uploaded an amazing upgrade to this mod's ice textures!
    It's called RIM. Check it out here.

    You can find alternative textures to RIM on my file section; check out

    • RIS - RIM or Ice Mesh Remaster - The Grass Must Grow Patch
    • RIS - RIM or Ice Mesh Remaster Textures

    My alternative textures replace only the glacier surface, while everything else remains RIM.

      Do you mean the water icefloes? These?

      They are very simple icefloes, basically one texture:
      textures/landscapes/icefloes.dds
      textures/landscapes/icefloes_n.dds

      Keep both files, delete all the rest.

      Thanks, I tried that, although using the folder /landscape/ instead of /landscapes/ as I assume you made a typo, but I still have the ones from the picture, even though the ones from this mod are replacing everything else:

      Try keeping all the files that start with "glacier", delete the rest.

      Hi. I saw your comment when you commented on the BDS patch and was waiting for Decapper to answer it. There must be a conflict somewhere in your load order. You can test it, make sure nothing loads after the patch, and that your "Overwrite" folder is empty. Check to see if the problem persists.

    I am having a conflict from this mod that I am not sure has been addressed. I went through 5 pages here looking for an answer and was back to 2021. The issue I am having is with the plants put into it causing problems with my plant mods. It like more than doubles their size and makes them look black and a mess of sticks. I have tried to hide a bunch of files within RIS, which I also have IMR & RIM, but every time I do the thing takes over another plant spot.

    I have the Cathedral 3D series and Mari's plant and flora mods using the object swapper mods to use all the variations. I took screen shots to show how the plant/dead bush texture (whatever it is)  from this mod messes with the others, but seems I am unable to load them here. It also shows it switching spots after hiding the next file. The ugly stick thing returns to normal and the normal one to the right of it grows huge and ugly.

    I have seen the texture all over in game, but right now just been chasing it around Whiterun, both in and directly outside the city. I hide one set of files, it disappears from some of the seen places and takes over plants in other areas there. I hide the next files, and it just moves again. It is quite madding, but I am new too. Thus far I have hidden the following files within the mod, and with each the ugly plant disappears, but just takes over other plants in the area.

    textures/plants - all four files
    textures/landscape/trees - both files
    textures/landscape - all files below

    • grasssnow01.dds
    • grasssnow01_n.dds
    • snow01.dds
    • snow01_n.dds
    • snow02.dds
    • snow02_n.dds

    All of them made the plant disappear from locations around the city. It just keeps taking over others. My question is, how can I disable plants, shrubs, small trees, or whatever is doing this, from this, or these, snow and ice mod/s? I hid 12 files total to stop what looks like one repeating big ugly texture and more kept coming. Figured that was enough, I need some instruction with this snow and ice mod.

    I really like what these snow mods do for that look and it runs great on my potato pc, but not as much as I like the plants and flora. I want to keep them all, so any insight on how to do so is greatly appreciated. Thanks for your time and some great mods!

      MOD AUTHOR AND OTHERS PLEASE READ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

      I made my post above for help and not long after I received a message here on nexus from someone with a username of shopperexpeie asking me to contact them on the discord. I do so and the username is shown as Charlotte Erica with the shopperexpeie underneath it. After letting me ASSUME they are the MA and wasting all my time with an explanation and pics, then they announce they want MONEY to fix the mod!!!!!

      I ask if they are the MA why did they not just respond here to my post. Then she/it/whatever tells me they helped the MAs with the mod and sends me screen shot of some chat with a username that does not match the MA's name for this mod.

      I am very much HOPING the MA responds here to clarify this situation, otherwise it is a great scam to make a mod that creates conflicts then CHARGE to fix it. Just wanted people to be aware of this until the MA responds to clarify.

      Thank you for the confirmation as I thought that is the situation. Would you be able to tell me which fles to disable/hide for plants within your mod/s. Thanks for your time!

      RIS, IMR & RIM are NOT the cause of the issue you are experiencing. Our mods do not touch plants and bushes around Whiterun. If you don't like the bushes in snowy areas you can remove the textures/plants folder, and if you don't like the grass in snowy areas you can remove the textures/landscape/grass folder. Your issue and the way you describe it seems to be relevant to your graphic memory. Maybe you have too many HD meshes and textures installed. In any way, your issue is not related to my mod, the fact that you're experiencing it around Whiterun shows that you should seek a solution elsewhere.

      Ok, thanks. I am still learning, but things pointed that way by inexperienced eyes. I will play with things some more. It isn't just in Whiterun, its everywhere. I was just chasing it down there because there is so many.

      Yes, that's what I'm saying, if it's everywhere, it's not from my mod. My mod touches only plants and grass in snowy areas.

    Is it just me or does the lastest ver. of the blended roads patch look worse visually than the previous?

    How do I get rid of the weird shine this mod adds to the top of glaciers? It shines through the snow that's on the glaciers and just looks weird and out of place.

    Also, what exactly does the winterhold bridge fix do?

      There is no Winterhold bridge fix. The Windhelm Bridge Fix updates the textures of Windhelm bridge as well as the city streets to have this mod's textures.

      You can try using another mod to change the glaciers. I suggest RIM

      I am. Issue's still there, though. Here's a video: https://streamable.com/boqzyz. When I disable this mod the weird shine also goes away. 
      Here's a picture of my load order for all relevant mods: https://imgur.com/a/hzbzEV2

      Btw, I just noticed that without this mod the issue is also there. Seems like this mod just amplifies the effect by 10

      Yeah, no! This is NOT how this mod looks like and your issue is NOT this mod's fault. It's a combination of your mods, something that you must solve by yourself. When I get the time, I will record a video to show you how this mod's glaciers actually look like (when no other mods are messing around with the glaciers).

      On a save with NOTHING installed except for your mod this still occurs. I just tested it. I don't see how this can be caused by other mods if it happens on a completely vanilla save with only your mod.

      I tested on complete vanilla and I didn't have the shine. The moment I enabled your mod I got the shine. I'm sorry, but this is 100% caused by this mod.

      There, it's caused by a file called ''glacierslab_n.dds''. Removed it and the shine is gone.

      I stand corrected. RIS SE is 4 years old, in the meantime I have changed things and this was a by-product of these changes. My ENB was fixing this, and that's why I hadn't noticed it. Sorry again.

      Oh no you don't need to apologize xD. Just happy I finally found out what was causing the issue. What even is the file btw? What is it supposed to do?

      It's supposed to give texture to the glacier and sun reflection. The sun reflection was way too bright.

    Hi Chris, I'm looking for some new ice to replace what I have in my new AIO I'm testing, can I use this mod please ?

    I only need the ICE Textures and not the snow.

    If its ok, can you add it to the list of what I'm allowed to use or post something on the mod page, would really appreciate it.

    Cheers

    Is it safe to overwrite this mod with another ice mod to only get snow textures?
