I love the impact of changing seasons on the ability of the bannies to find and harvest food that the Natural Diversity mod brings. Is there a version that _just_ implements that and doesn't have a meadow or new buildings? Maybe another mod that kills off natural resources during the winter?
DID you check out the lite versions? you could try adding the nat div with the north,depending on what other mods you might be using. the north did have a delay to the plants. gatherers weren't finding much til june when i did run the north below the nat div.have you checked out the RK EC by RED?changes the look of the grass but there is a drop off of the gathered foods in winter.and the grass is more mixed meaning less meadows.
You might want to take a look at the Cold Realism mod.
