If you're tired of the snow and ice, check out this Skyrim mod called Tropical Skyrim – A Climate Overhaul, which replaces Skyrim's frozen tundra with palm trees and sunshine.

Below SaioTV takes a tour of the mod, which Nexus Mods says replaces Bethesda's environments with "lush jungles, scortching deserts, sandy beaches, bamboo forests, fiery volcanic areas and much more. Each of these areas also come with new animals, new lighting, and new weather."

That's crazy cool. Definitely something to check out.

Holy *** this looks awesome for a mod! Too bad I'm a skyrim fan who prefers to play it on the 360. :(

Wow !!! awesome very impressive. i've lost multiple characters to modded skyrim glitching out on me, so i've stopped playing it since i simply don't want to play vanilla as it's boring, and mods always break it, but this one looks really awesome i might have to give it a try

wow...this is quite the wideo

This looks really, really cool.

That is one of the coolest mods I've ever seen. Surprisingly, all of the architecture of the buildings fits perfectly into these new environments, too. With their log construction and grass roofs looking like jungle huts, and even the ruins looking like old Aztec temples or something along those lines, they don't look out of place at all.

There's also a mod that changes skyrim into Hyrule. It's pretty cool.

Cool, too bad I don't have it for PC. I'll admit, the snow does get boring after a while.
by jmpittman860220 Wednesday, March 13, 2013 at 11:59 AM

Just another reason I might get a high end PC. Around $1000 now but upgrades later seem not too shabby. Plus you can't do this on a console.

This is awesome!!Wish it was for the 360.The narrator sounds like Hans Landa,just imagine.funny!

Cool!

That's some impossibly quick global warming.

SkyCry.

The dragons came back and melted everything. Guess I should get back to Skyrim and kill more...

Sometimes I wish I had a better PC. Mine is in no way capable of being a gaming PC.

Unbelievable =o LOTS of kudos to this creator!
