Using the wrong shader for outdoor (ice shader instead of snow shader) replacing clutter (can) with BDS

Replace bridge with BDS outdoors using wrong shader

Experimental patch to reduce stripe/line effects on some meshes

Bugs/FAQ

Q: I'm still using vanilla shader effects on my mesh/model! What's going on?

Answer: You have a mod that adds a custom model to the world and they are applying vanilla shaders.

Q: Can you solve it?

Answer: Possibly. It requires permission from other authors and another patch, but...

Q: There is also a stripe effect! I thought it was fixed!

Answer: It's like putting a hole in a leaky dam, plugging one hole and the other popping out.

If you reduce the snow axis projection completely, you will have no snow accumulation.

You can reduce it, but I doubt it can completely eliminate it, sorry.

Q: I'm using Windhelm Revert and it doesn't work! The grid is still messed up!

A: Place it below any other BDS patches in your load order.

Q: Is it safe to add/remove these mid-tier games?

A: There are no scripts and nothing is saved to the save game, so they can be safely added or removed at any time.
