I cant mod for squat or anything so im pretty much just tring to see if anyone might actually be interesting in tring something that people gave up on long time ago.



My thought is that rocks could be used to simulate actual snow. If you modify the rocks so that when you click you get nice rolling smooth hills and instead it goes out toward a like 5x5 spread you can have smooth enough looking gentle snow dunes that could look just like snow covered land. and make some of the rocks raise up higher to simulate snow covered ridges. You'd be able to plop snow covered trees and such in them just like you see in the picture and then make the bottom of the snow'd are roll into far more lower and smoother rocks that are textured and color'd to look like snow. And snow covered shrubs and stuff could be made to hide certain parts that might not look like it rolls from a snow coverd area to a flatter less snow filled area. The flat snow you see there could be used in spots where snow holes and such would be or even where a thick snow covered forest is.

The snow you have the same principal as the rocks made by cycledogg but be textured for snow and branch out much bigger when you do the 3rd click(that way you can put trees and snow covered stuff like rocks lol or bush's or even a snow covered cave which is no more then a snow coverd rock with a dark center.And tons of other snow covered stuff could be made for forests.

I had forgot about mod...I remember seeing that long time ago. Well try something out then...by combing those type of rocks up above without the lil crumbles with that snow..but paint/texture them white to see how they work together...ill read up on all that stuff and will post my product here I guess. They might complement each other since I think the maxis snow didnt look to realistic to begin with.

Thanks for the link though lol forgot about that. Just gives me another idea :P
