A new version of the Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim Legendary Edition Project Rainforest mod has been released.
Created by modder ‘sa547’, the tropical rainforest mod overhauls most worldspaces of the base game and expansions. Icy and snow interiors have been changed to temperate green caves, and icicles and ice sheets are removed or replaced with lily pads. In addition, the mod swaps snowy weather with rainstorms. The full list of features has been included below:
