Use Ctrl+F3 in OpenIV to search your 'mods' folder to find it/them (usually in 'common.rpf', or sometimes 'update.rpf' (if moved etc). Edit the one in 'update.rpf' if it exists. If not, edit the one in 'common.rpf' :thumbsup:

Vanilla one looks like this inside:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>

These are the values I would probably play around with & increase to start with (not exactly sure what all of them do):

  <textureRowsColsStartEnd x="2.000000" y="2.000000" z="0.000000" w="3.000000" />
  <sizeMinMax x="0.025000" y="0.025000" z="0.035000" w="0.035000" />
  <fadeInOut x="1.000000" y="1.000000" />
  <fadeNearFar x="1.000000" y="100.000000" />
  <fadeGrdOffLoHi x="0.000000" y="-15.000000" z="0.500000" w="100.000000" />
  <backgroundDistortionAmount value="1.000000" />
  <backgroundDistortionBlurLevel value="0" />

<sizeMinMax will have the most dramatic effect. Although it just basically increases the size of the individual snowflakes.
