Sorry, I haven't got round to separating the winter theme package yet, and I don't recall where I was with the full package (I was still adding and testing stuff when I moved on to something else). I move in a few days so it will probably sometime at the start of August before I get round to it.
Here's one of the tactical maps though. It's the one that Sweet Delilah linked to above.
I called it elf, it's not, nor is it meant to be (it's just the theme I was making at the time, so the name was for keeping track of it in my folder, I should probably have changed it before I uploaded it).
It's the in-game territories map. I have no idea why they didn't actually use this on the tactical map table, it's much nicer looking than what they went with.

Sorry for the delay, things are still a bit hectic here.
Here's the snowy ground. It includes the file for the icy look to the water.
I'm also uploading the LODs that will help with certain areas switching back to default grass at certain zooms and angles. The pit up to the ruined statue is the worst area for this because it can happen really close up.
The LOD files are quite large, around 21 MB in total, so if you can stand using the snow without them, then I would, since I think it may help eat in to the restricted memory for the game.
Personally, I'd install the ground files alone, check out what the reverting looks like and then decide if you want to put the LODs in as well.
(I play with them installed.)
Because of their size, I've had to divide the 4 LOD packages in to 3 separate rars. If you're going to use them, then download and install all of them.
Just to clarify, you don't need the LODs, the snowy ground will work without them, they're just for consistency in ground color.
Judging by the download count there seems to be some confusion over which package to download
The ground file is the one you want for the snow and the icy water to show instead of the default grass.
The LOD files are for keeping consistency in the color in certain places at certain zoom levels, otherwise it will flick to grass (eg the wizards bit will change to grass when viewed from the churches etc)
You don't need the LOD files to use the snowy ground, but if you want them you have to download the snowy ground and all 3 of the LOD files.
If you don't want them just download the ground file for the snow and the ice.

I've been trying to get that lovely snow/ice theme-thing, but it doesn't appear at all in my game.
I put it in my mods folder, but nothings happening, so i'm wondering if I did something wrong?

Yeah, the others did. But, I don't have a problem anymore, I downloaded those LOD file things and everything appeared as it should.
It's so lovely, you're such a great modder.

Wow, ChickieTeeta, these are simply wonderful 
Thank you very much. My personal favourite one is the snowy theme, it looks so beautiful. I even used it to make a Sims Christmas postcard to a friend of mine

Peteran Wall
This pic was taken before I'd altered the normal, the brick shaped bumps you can see dotted around aren't there now. This is the only pic I have that shows how it looks at night.
You can see the difference (concerning the bumps) in this pic
(Sorry I don't have any pics showing it with the original roof.)

What the blankety blank took you so long to post this, Missy Chickie???? Lagger's days, and night's will be brightened do to the new look, I know.
I am a tad worried however for the whiteness in which you have made the church covering, as I continue to use the Elf Pavilion you made in white, and I'll easily inform you that the glare it produces is blinding! That is not to say it is because of your work, I am saying it is due to the careless work done by the developers of TSM, by not being more attentive to detailed aspects in graphics and more....as you know...the offset of buildings and furnishings within the game...TSM also has a huge OVER-lighting issue as well.
My graphics card is amazing in how it handles the problem of too zealous lamps of every make, but even then I must set near every lighting fixture to DIM.
Concerning the Elf Pavilion I try really hard to place long curtains, or hanging tapestries along the outside of it to try and shield the inside from the "sun", as it is so overpowering to my sensitive eyeballs. It usually comes out looking like sh.....T! As the flat curtains/tapestries will not connect right up to the walls of the structure, and they are a bit too wide or too short, a corner may also stick out on one side or the other. They do not meet....grrrr.
I usually end up tearing them down as I detest the look of sh....T.
I shall tease my Peteran Priest with this new look, and see what Lagger Beer has to say about it.
BTW, Dearie, I am glad to see you decor inside the Pavilion. I do, too. I wish it were re-colorable, though, as the green top you used matches no furnishing color at all. LOL
Yeah, I wanted my drapes to match the rooftop!
Here is a pic of my latest fountain which I made in the Elf Pavilion you re-did in white. Hope you do not mind my posting it here in your thread, but perhaps it will help in advertising your work?
I framed the outside with the small almost white bowl plants, and magic ball tall lamps, as the outside is almost as important as the inside...
Ain't it PURTY????

Yeah I mentioned the bloom on the pavilion at the time, in the pictures thread, posted a pic too trying to show it. It can be annoying, I know.
I tried just now to use the specular to reduce it, but it makes no difference. I think it might be in the ini files, which I altered for personal use to make the nights darker, so the light from the torches etc would look better. I'm sure bloom was mentioned in there.
You'll be glad to know that I haven't noticed the bloom problem on the Peteran Church.
I haven't found much use for those gems before, but they look ok round the statue and in the fountain pic you posted with them.
*Edit* I just tried the peteran texture on the pavilion since it's not as bright as the pavilion one, but it's just as bad for bloom.
Bloom
My current solution since the base is the worst affected
bloom on the furniture inside, I don't want to change the color of it so I'm living with it.
It is the Watcher's Pavilion though, so perhaps it's a heavenly glow =D .....which makes me wonder why neither of the churches are glowing :P
