In the spirit of the autumn season we're in I've put together a mod I've been
thinking about making for a long time and I'm beyond pleased with the result!
THIS MOD IS NOT A RESHADE!This mod is a BIG texture overhaul that brings autumn and first snow to Thedas.
It affects all zones in the game, some more than others - even the deserts!
The colours found in nature are now leaning more towards reds, yellows and browns, but they are still beautifully vibrant.
This includes plants, trees, moss, grass and so on.
For those, like me, wanting a change in the game this is it. This drastically changes the atmosphere in all areas.
Be ready to experience Orlais and Ferelden all over again!
I recommend bringing a soft blanket and some hot chocolate for a playthrough with this mod.
I used a reshade when taking the screenshots (
Winter Fog Reshade) to make the landscape pop,
but in my experience the colours are still vibrant in vanilla - for those of you who prefer to play without a reshade.
*****
I'm so pleased to say that this mod works in
TRESPASSER!
UPDATE!
Autumn In Thedas works in all DLC areas!
Install using the latest mod manager.
Jaw of Hakkon and The Descent are still not working though.
From my testing I could enter the zones, but when opening the menu wheel the game would freeze.
If anyone finds a way around this, please let me know. *****
MY OTHER SEASON MOD
VERSIONS
For now there is only a Frosty mod version I'm afraid. I ran into a few issues while making and testing the Daimod version (crashes before merging even). Hopefully I'll find a way to upload a Daimod as well, but I recommend using the Frosty version either way. Some of the files edited won't work in Dai Mod Maker, so any DaiMod version will most likely be lacking in content compared to the Frosty version.
UPDATE
I'm sorry to say that it seems highly unlikely that Autumn In Thedas will be released for DAI Mod Manager. I really, really tried the last few days (there was a lot of frustration, hair pulling and crying), but all I get are crashes and infinite loading screens. If anyone knowledgeable with DAI Mod Maker and texture compatibility (not to mention has a lot of patience for trial and error) would like to try their hand at making it work; contact me and maybe we can work something out.
Thank you for all the interest in making a Daimod version though. Wish it could just work! COMPATIBILITY
This mod is quite extensive and changes a lot of files, but only texture files relating to nature.
Any mods changing the textures for the Ferelden farm exteriors might conflict with this mod.
This mod will not conflict with any mods relating to characters (Inquisitor, companions and npcs) in any way.
INSTALLATION
Install using Frosty Mod Manager. Always use the latest version!

Don't worry, when you click "Launch" in the Frosty Mod Manager after the "ModData" folder will be created fresh. I found this tip in
this thread.
