The Tamrielian calendar is analogous to our Gregorian calendar. The names of the months are unique, and the names of almost all days of the week are derived from their English (European) counterparts. Each month has its own constellation in the Tamriel sky (for more details, see "Astrology"). A number of games in The Elder Scrolls series had their own features, which we will discuss below. A separate page is dedicated to holidays.

IN Arena And Daggerfall The duration of the game month is 30 days, and the game year is 360 days.
In the additional manual for Arena, a holiday calendar was given for a 365-day year (see 1st half of the year and 2nd half of the year). This Tamrielic calendar corresponds to the 1993 Gregorian calendar. Despite this, the game's month length was 30 days. You start the game 1 Morning Star (1 Morning Star) 3E 389 in Tirdas, but this is not always the case. The player could start his adventures and 1 Hearthfire (1 Hearthfire) of the same 3E 389 and again in... Tirdas, although 240 days are not completely divisible by 7.
Interestingly, the manual for Arena says that each era lasts 1000 years, then it was forgotten, and the beginning new era announced when certain outstanding events occur.
IN Daggerfall the hero receives a task from the emperor 4 Morning Star (4 Morning Star) 3E 405.
IN Morrowind the length of the year should have been 365 days... but the month of the Morning Star disappeared somewhere, and the duration of the remaining months “floated” in comparison with the corresponding months of the Gregorian calendar. Thus, the length of the year was 334 days. In fact, if you've spent a lot of time on Vvardenfell, take a look at your journal (Journal.htm file). The first entry reads (you always start the game 16 Last Seed 3E 427):
The missing Morning Star bug can be fixed by installing a fix. Posted by Zennorious.
IN Oblivion And Skyrim The length of the year is 365 days. Tamrielic months have the same number of days. as in the corresponding Gregorian, there are 28 days in February. In case Oblivion you start the game 27 Last Seed (27 Last Seed) 3E 433, and Skyrim- 17 Last Grain in 4E 201.
View esm file Oblivion in the Construction Set suggests that the developers initially planned to somehow include some holidays in the game, but then abandoned this intention. Listed: Emperor's Birthday, First Sowing, End of Harvest, Fool's Day, Merchant's Festival, Mid-Year Festival, New Life Festival, Prayer to the North Wind, Old Life Festival, Second Sowing, Prayer to the South Wind, Rest of the Sun, Candlelight Tales, Festival of Warriors , Witches Festival. Then, listing unrealized holidays in game resources became a good tradition - they can be found in Fallout 3, Fallout New Vegas, not to mention Skyrim.
I"ve aborted the work on my previous project SkySummer due to mass of bugs, issues and many other problems and also the bad quality of SkySummer and decided to take the landscape textures from SkySummer to create a new normal "summer overhaul" and also a "pure winter overhaul".
The Summer Edition
of Seasons of Skyrim will turn most landscapes of skyrim into summer, except snow landscapes. Okay, I"ve retextured one snow texture with a grassy snow texture, since in summer snow melts away, there will be much more grass in snow areas now, but it will always look most immersive as possible.
I"ve retextured the tundra, fall forest, pine forest, reach and volcanic tundra region. I"ve not changed trees or plants (as in SkySummer), I just retextured them to fit the summer theme. There are also many new different colored grasses and flowers to turn skyrim into a colorful world.
I made this mod for best compatibility. So there will be no weather and lighting changes in the main version (just as optional file), so you are able to use all your favorite lighting and weather mods like CoT, RLO and ELFX and also your favorite ENB setting.
There are just a few mods which will not be compatible: like vurts flora overhaul, grass mods and landscape mods. All textures were made in HD for good resolution, so this won't be compatible with landscape texture mods, but with every else texture mod.
No Snow version: I"ve done also a "no snow" version, like skysummer, but with only trees and plants from the original skyrim and no unnecessary retextures. I don"t know jet if I will release the no snow version, maybe I should since it looks very good, but there are many things to fix.
The Winter Edition
will turn skyrim into a immersive winter paradise and cover all regions, buildings and other objects with snow. Plants and flowers were replaced with snow shrubs, dead shrubs and other snow objects. The original mod was created by "megatenP".
I"ve picked up his unfinished work and fixed/improved many things. I"ve also added many new objects: like icefloes, frozen landscape, snow drifts and snow blowing FX to the landscape of skyrim. The lake around riften is frozen (as sample, for what I"ve done).
Also the winter edition was made for best compatibility with other mods and will be compatible with any mod, except landscape and grass mods.
Version: 2-5 (a)
Language: Russian
Description:
The "Seasons of Skyrim" project contains 3 different major modifications for Skyrim. One of them is “Summer Skyrim”, which turns all of Skyrim into the summer season, the second is “Spring Skyrim”, which is the same as “Summer Skyrim”, only everything will be the same as in the original game, winter locations will remain and the third , this is "Winter Skyrim", which turns all of Skyrim into the winter season. This project was designed to be lore-based, game-friendly, and mod-friendly, as well as being as fun as possible. This has also been done for better compatibility with other mods, so you can use most of your favorite climate and texture mods in combination with the Summer, Spring or Winter variants.
THESE ARE STATIC SEASONS, THEY DO NOT CHANGE AUTOMATICALLY, SO USE ONLY ONE EDITION!!!
Update:2-5(a)
- Added an optional addon “Multi-colored aspens”, all trees from the aspen genus will have a multi-colored palette, red, yellow, green foliage. This addon is suitable for both “Spring Skyrim” and “Summer Skyrim”. This addon is at the additional link, put it on top already installed mod"Spring Skyrim" or "Summer Skyrim" with file replacement
Update:2-5
- Added the 3rd version of the "Spring Skyrim" mod (read the description below)
- Updated 2 previous packages "Winter Skyrim" and "Summer Skyrim", as well as updated the optional texture addon for "Summer Skyrim"
- "Summer and Spring" options will now work normally with the Hearthfire DLC, there should be no more houseboats or landscaping around the houses from the Hearthfire DLC
- "Summer Skyrim" - the contents of the archive were completely updated, modules were added 1 - LessGrass ("less grass", grass is only in places, like in vanilla Skyrim), 1 - MoreGrass ("more grass", makes all landscapes very overgrown), 1b - GlacierRetextured (glacier retexture, new version), 1b - GlacierStandard (glacier retexture, old version), patches added 2 - PureWeatherPatch (for the Pure Weather mod), 2 - RCRN Patch (for the RCRN mod), added optional module "2 - SummerWater" , this module is the author's own plugin for replacing water, more summer watercolor, and also, you can now use any other water mod without any problems.
- "Summer Skyrim" - all landscapes have been updated with new types of grasses, bushes and flowers, the file Seasons of Skyrim Project.esp has been removed, for greater compatibility with the Hearthfire DLC and other mods, some bugs and errors have been fixed, optional modules that made aspen trees multi-colored have been removed , the author does not currently support this function, an additional add-on for textures for “Summer Skyrim” is now available separately (via an additional link)
- "Winter Skyrim" - the Seasons of Skyrim Project.esp file is no longer a requirement, but it is still archived and use of this esp is highly recommended. file, even when it comes to conflicts with the Hearthfire DLC, there is no real way around the bugs, try loading Hearthfire.esm after Seasons of Skyrim Project.esp (it's labeled as an esm file) if you won't be using the Seasons of Skyrim file Project.esp (this is only for discoloring the landscape), then you will get ugly snow colors (see example below), and everywhere, in all locations, so there are 2 ways, either don’t use it, but there will be ugly snow colors and there will be compatibility with DLC Hearthfire, either use it, the snow color will be good, but there will be a conflict with the Hearthfire DLC
- "Winter Skyrim" - some plants were removed from the landscape and some mesh files were replaced, some minor problems were fixed, 2 optional modules for trees were added: 1 - TreesNew (new leafless trees (v 2.0) and leafless aspens (v 1.0), patches added 2 - PureWeatherPatch (for the Pure Weather mod) and 2 - RCRN Patch (for the RCRN mod)
- As for how to update from the previous version, here you will have to take the archive of the previous version of the mod, look at the files and delete exactly the same ones in the game, writing and making a list of everything that needs to be deleted is simply unrealistic, there are hundreds of files, but not everything is so bad, after looking all files and comparing, you can simply install a new version on top of the previous one, replacing the files, but some files will still need to be deleted, read below what to delete

If you use the SOSP WATER module and mods for parallax textures:
- You can use module 2 - SummerWater with mods for parallax textures together with other water mods (for example W.A.T.E.R./Pure Waters or Realistic Water Two) and use it with the water plug-in from SoSP Summer. Just rename the water parallax textures from your water mods to defaultwater.dds and place them in skyrim/data/textures/water
Description of folders in the archive for "Spring Skyrim":
- 0 - Core - this is the main mod with all the resources
Summer Skyrim - Summer edition:
- 1024 textures for landscape and grass textures

- Colorful aspen forests (a mixture of green, red and orange aspen leaves) ---> there is an optional addon where all aspen trees will be green if you don't want to have a colorful mixture of leaves

Compatibility/Incompatibility:
- Summer version is fully compatible with the Realistic Lighting Overhaul mod
- Compatible with the Tamriel Climate mod (use the patch in the archive)
- Compatible with ELFX, except for the "enhancer" plugin
- In theory, it is not compatible with water mods, for example “Pure Waters” or W.A.T.E.R., since the author changed the textures of the water and it looks good in this mod. If you really want to use water mods in conjunction with this version of the “Summer Skyrim” mod, then just load the Clean Waters or W.A.T.E.R mods in the launcher after this Skyrim fashion Summer Overhaul.esp and it will work. The difference will be that the water will be dark again and no brighter, unlike this "Summer Skyrim" mod
- Not compatible with other mods for changing landscapes, grass and trees
- The Lush Trees and Grass mod is fully compatible (the author uses it himself)
- Compatible with all snow mods, but there is no point in using such mods, since it’s summer in Skyrim (Month of Frost, Dampness and Cold and all similar mods)
- Most texture mods should also work, with the exception of mods that change landscapes and grass. If you use other mods for mountains and rocks for "Summer Skyrim", retexturing glaciers and icebergs, it may look strange in relation to the summer
- Forstfall (patch for Winter and Summer Edition), Seasons Of Skyrim - Summer Sounds, Mossy rocks, Clear World Map, Realistic Clouds, Enhanced Lights and FX, Better Towns Textures, Climates of Tamriel (archived patch), Pure Weather (patch archived), RCRN AE (archived patch), Lush Trees and Grass (use only trees), Sounds of Skyrim, Sexy Skyrim Retextures
Important requirement:
Open your skyrim.ini, find the section, and set the value iMaxGrassTypesPerTexure=8. This is very significant value 8, since the mod adds a lot of herbs, bushes and flowers, and they will not be displayed if this number is less than 8!
Loading order in the launcher:
- You can download this mod anywhere in the launcher, but the author recommends downloading it at the end of the download list, after all other mods. If you are using weather/lighting mods with available patches, download the weather mods before SoSP - Summer Edition.esp and the patches after SoSP - Summer Edition.esp
Description of folders in the archive for "Summer Skyrim":
- 0 - Core - this is the main mod with all the resources
- 1 - LessGrass - less grass, grass only in places, like in vanilla Skyrim
- 1 - MoreGrass - more grass, makes all landscapes very overgrown
- 1b - GlacierRetextured - retexture of glaciers, new option

Addon - multi-colored aspen trees:
- All trees from the aspen genus will have a multi-colored palette, red, yellow, green foliage. This addon is suitable for both “Spring Skyrim” and “Summer Skyrim”. This addon is via an additional link, put on top of the already installed mod "Spring Skyrim" or "Summer Skyrim" with file replacement
When upgrading from v2.0 to v2.5:
- Load the game and go to any interior, for example a house, and save to a new save (new save slot)
- Exit the game and delete the old version of the mod, and all the files of the previous version since almost all folders and files have been redone
1.The most important thing is to delete the files:
- Seasons of Skyrim Project.esp
- SoSP Summer Edition.esp or SoSP Winter Edition.esp
- SoSP Summer Edition - Dense Grass.esp
- SoSP Summer Edition - CoT Patch.esp or SoSP Winter Edition - CoT Patch.esp
2. You will have to delete the rest based on the archive files of the previous version of the mod 2.0 and look for the same files in the game and delete everything, just check everything carefully and delete everything so that later there are no old files left from the previous version 2.0. I would describe what needs to be deleted , but this is unrealistic, there are a lot of files
- After completely deleting the mod from the game folder, load your last save and save again, but in another new save slot
- Exit the game and install the new version 2.5 and load your last save
- Now play!
Installation via NMM:
- Install the unpacked archive in the NMM manager and select the necessary options by checking the box and the mod will install itself into the game
Manual installation:
1.Select the option to download "Summer", "Spring" or "Winter" version version 2-5
2.Also, if you wish, download the optional texture addon for the “Summer Skyrim” option (optional, not required)
3.Also, if you wish, download the optional addon “Addon - multi-colored aspens” (optional, not required)
4.Each archive will have separate folders (read the description above in each option)
5.Install all contents from the "0 - Core" folder into the Data folder in the game and confirm merging folders and files
6.Also install optional options from the archive if you need them and also install patches if needed
Note:
To increase/decrease grass density, you can edit your Skyrim.ini in the section:
bAllowCreateGrass=1
bAllowLoadGrass=0
iMinGrassSize=20<-------------------
iMinGrassSize - will make the grass thicker, if you decrease the value, if you increase the value, the grass will be less dense! As an example, iMinGrassSize=10 will make the grass very thick, and iMinGrassSize=40 will make the grass less dense
It is highly recommended to set the grass density to 20, provided you have a good enough PC
Attention!!! The author advises installing this mod after all the texture mods that you want to install, that is, if you want to install some mod to change textures in the game, then install them first, and then install this mod
The video is old, from the previous version, there is no new one yet
