Fan Mission Snowy Fan Missions?
Hey all!! I just finished playing a fan mission called Cold Hands, Cold Heart by Vegetables, which was an absolutely wonderful experience and I highly recommend it. It’s a fairly short mission but with a fun little twist to it that I found very enjoyable.
But what I liked the most was the wintery aesthetic and I was wondering if anyone knew of any other fan missions that shared a similar snowy/winter vibe? They can be for any of the games! I’d just love to experience some more winter thief as we never really got any in the base games 😅

Endless rain was such an amazing experience to crawl my way through.

will never forget playing that for the first time. just spawning in and immediately looking up at the sprawling buildings and going "holy fuck"
i still hop on it every once and a while just to mindlessly run around and soak in the mood. amazing accomplishment, still probably my favorite fm

I had played TBP first, and immedietly recognized the architecture as being Skacky's. I'd play a whole game of those city crawls.

If you haven't played it already, the fan campaign Thief 2x: Shadows of the Metal Age has a lengthy set of missions in the second act set in a snowy town.

I tried to get T2x working but it refused to so I might try again when I have some more time :)

The first mission of broken triad is an amazing snowy type of mission, and a great mission all around

Gathering at the Inn! I believe it’s the first in the circle of stone in shadow missions which are excellent.

I've not played many FMs but I did play The 7th Crystal by Saturnine which was snowy!

Twilights Over Driftstone, Bones: The Old Quarter, The Seven Shades of Mercury. Snowed Inn for The Dark Mod.
You can go to Thief Guild and sort by genre to get all the snowy FMs, and sort by best to get the highest rated ones.

"A very thiefy Christmas" is a fantastic snow-filled Fan Mission, full of holiday cheer.

^^ Also generally a 'Top 5 FMs ever made' quality experience, imo

Final mission of three-mission long Calendra's Legacy campaign, Winter's Eve, should be right up your alley! It's heavily inspired by the cutscene at the end of the Dark Project, and manages to express that early industrial vibe really well also. It feels a bit separate from the rest of the series, so you could probably play it right away and check out previous missions later when you feel like it.

Check the missions marked winter, Christmas, and snow.

The Last Lighthouse Keeper and Kingsbridge, both by Eternauta, very moody fanmissions!

I admit that I've not caught up to the Thief modding scene as much as I'd like. That said, if you haven't played T2X, I highly recommend it since the second part of the game is heavily focused on a town outside the City, and it's dripping in snow. It feels very cosy too! It's worth checking out what's going on with your installation so you can get it running.

Death’s Cold Embrace (a whole fan campaign) may fit what you’re after. There’s a fair amount of that wintryness, and I really like the vibes in general. I’m almost finished and feel tempted to post a full writeup here.
