How to 'fix' the snow in Aurora Skies! ^o^
Hi all! :D If, like me, you were hoping to use Aurora Skies as a winter world but were frustrated with the snow issue, then there IS a way to 'fix' it ourselves!!! There was speculation on the...

I asked Graham about it and he said they are trying to fix it. But they are trying to find a solution for all worlds, not just AS I think. Hopefully it won't be too long because this is definitely a very complicated fix! :lol: I was just too impatient to play the world to wait! :XD:
I think what they are looking into doing, from what I understand, is trying to find a way to tailor the fading point for the snow in each world individually, so the snow won't fade near the water line as much in the low land worlds.
I don't think the gurus would do this as a fix for AS anyway because it is one of those situations where you're sacrificing one thing for another: by fixing the snow you lower the sea level and some people may dislike that (it makes the sea shallower). It's just I personally prefer to have nice snow and am less bothered about the sea, so this works for me.
StellaToronto, I didn't drop the sea level by much and it fixed about 95% of the lots. It's hard to say exactly how much I dropped it by... :? I just guessed! But I did the process twice and guessed both times, and both times it worked. I attempted to edit the terrain a little around the lake but I'm a sloppy terrain painter and I decided it looked better as it was. It looks ok without terrain painting but if I were to do it again I might smooth the terrain at a couple of points around the coastline.
