For those who would like a bit more information about installation:
-Any AOS or SoS patches that you were previously using for either True Storms, Obsidian, or both can be safely replaced by the patches provided here. This patch was created to completely merge both mods into one experience, so you can basically think of it as its own weather mod in need of its own patches. -You only need to have ONE of the available four versions loaded, meaning that you should not have both the main version and its respective Water Fix version loaded at the same time, just choose one or the other. The only real difference between these two versions is the fog levels, so if you like having lots of fog in all of your weathers, just stick to the main version. If you would like to tone down the fog levels in your weathers and you are bothered by the blocky water edges that can appear during foggy weathers, then I would definitely recommend using the Water Fix version. -This patch can also replace the True Storms + Obsidian patch provided by the authors of Obsidian, as it does exactly the same thing plus a bit more in the visual department.
Hope that helps! :)

It is 1,000 times easier for authors to fix and keep track of bugs and glitches when you post them in the bug report section, rather than in the comments, so if you find any strange visual glitches or places where the mod isn't working, please post it there instead of in the comments :) It would be greatly appreciated. If you do, please remember to mention what setup you have, which version you are using, and if you are using an ENB. Thank you!
Up to date for these versions of all related mods:
Obsidian Weathers and Seasons SSE - V1.07 True Storms SSE - V1.01 **Most likely will not update again anytime soon. Audio Overhaul SSE - V3.2.0 Sounds of Skyrim Complete SE - V1.6
**I do plan on keeping my patches up to date with the latest versions, but as I have quite a few to manage at this point, I would greatly appreciate any friendly reminders if it seems as though I missed an update :) Thank you!
Hey guys! Just wanted to post a quick update on the status of these patches. I've recently gone through some major changes in my life (I'll spare you the boring details ^^), but very soon I should finally be settled enough to get back at it again with updates. Specifically by the end of this month, once I finish moving into my new place.
In the meantime, here's a few answers to some common questions that I don't want to leave hanging:
-The new True Storms patch 1.0.2 is completely safe to use with all of these patches. It only makes a few minor tweaks to certain weather chances, tweaks which I've mostly incorporated into my patch versions already, so there will be zero issues :) -All of my patches can easily be used as ESL, in fact I'm planning on re-releasing them all as ESL in my next updates so you shouldn't even have to worry about it very soon. -Currently I don't have any available options for Cathedral, I apologize for the delay on that. I do plan on releasing my own Cathedral + True Storms merge and incorporating Cathedral as an option into all of my standalone patches too now that I have more time.
For those of you thinking about using Minty's LIghtning and the patch for it on the Description page here, you might want to consider this alternative which is compatible with all weather mods without patches: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/29243
Seems like the close up dense fog from True Storms is negated with this patch It shows distant and transparent fog in my game. How can I get the dense fog back from TS?
Do I just go over different weathers in SSEedits and edit the Fog Near settings or also other settings?
Go into SEEdit under TrueStorms.esp --> visual effect ---> TS_FXCameraAttachEffect_RollingFog Then click on 'Referenced By' tab in the bottom middle, then double click each of the four vanilla Skyrim weathers and scroll down to NNAM - Visual Effect where the Null References is in the patch and drag the camera effcect from True storms.esp into the obsidian_TS_ patch.esp. Hope that helps.
Currently trying this out. Normally I use Cathedral Weathers but there's no decent patch for True Storms. I'd love to see something of this style for Cathedral though.
I couldn't get into Obsidian so I made my own patch for Cathedral. It only brings over the textures, camera efftcs, and sounds. THEN I switched to RAID weathers and did the same thing. Considering releasing the patches after more testing.
I'm trying to eliminate possibilities of what may be causing my white mountain and distant lod during storms and from googling and testing it's looking like it's possibly a lighting or fog setting in this patch? I use Spectral and no ENB.
So testing with Luminous has shown that the fog at lod level is ok with that but remains too bright when using Spectral. Using just Obsidian the settings are fine but of course I miss out on the true storms intensity, which I love.
So if anyone could point me to which settings I should tweak to darken the fog on the lod using Spectral I'd me really grateful.
That's the problem when combining different weather mods, you have to test for all possible combinations and elevations. Difficult to do by one single person, i think.
ENB is a godsent in this case: you can simply adjust fog color for this weather and the mountains will get darker and blend in with the sky. Or you could try making the sky brighter, but i haven't had much success with the latter.
For people with xEdit experience - i remember there was a weather creation guide by Johnny Wang (?), should give some pointers what to change.
I finally got the load order right and YESSSSS!!! I loved everything about Obsidian except the ugly rain, and this patch takes care of that nicely. It wasn't working at first, and I thought maybe something was out of date. Turns out the only thing out of date is me! Here's the correct load order to get the rain working, in case you can't find it: True Storms SE Obsidian Weathers Obsidian Weathers - TrueStorms Merged Compatibility SSE (Spectral or Luminous) Storm Lightning (Minty Lightning 2019) NOTE: if you're using MO2 this must be the order in the RIGHT pane, not just the left. LOOT didn't do it for me, I had to manually slide the mods into the right order.

Can anyone point me in the right direction to continue figuring out what I need to tweak in SSEEdit?
So if anyone could point me to which settings I should tweak to darken the fog on the lod using Spectral I'd me really grateful.
ENB is a godsent in this case: you can simply adjust fog color for this weather and the mountains will get darker and blend in with the sky. Or you could try making the sky brighter, but i haven't had much success with the latter.
