I've used True Storms since ever, and was looking around for a change of pace, in part because getting True Storms to work with Darker Nights can be a PITA, and because I just wanted something a bit different. I checked out various other weather mods, but they all caused issues, or had incompatibilities with my load order. Finally, I stumbled upon this... and wow... just wow. I added a couple of mods to make rain look and sound better, and I was already using Subtle ENB. My game looks awesome, thanks! Sometimes (usually, in fact), simple really is best.
Aye. The simpler the better. Plus, I've read (for example, I think popular modder redrocketTV says it on nexus somewhere) that many weather, sound and lighting overhauls are behind many a CTD bug complaint when travelling to Diamond and Goodneighbour. May I also recommend Winter Redone and Simple Winter Weather? They both seem to work well and you can just enable/disable them at will for use during winter months. I put winter redone before UCW and simple winter weather after UCW, but you maybe you have a better way. When using the winter mods it's best to disable wetness or the snow on the ground is too shiny. All these mods work with the no godrays mod (I put that one last).
Mini update, 2 Sept 22: I doubt the precise order matters, so long as all are at the end. Looking at my current list I've actually now got the order as UCW, No Godrays, Winter Redone, then Zorkaz' Frozen Lakes & Rivers mod, then Simple Winter Weather.
Many thanks for this mod. I was able to compare it with More Common Weather in FO4edit (my first proper use of it). That enabled me to figure out what was missing in that other mod. But rather than try to improve that mod it then proved easier to essentially mimick it's "crappy weather" by copying its edits over onto all of your mod's more complete set of commonwealth climate regions.
If anyone likes crappy weather and doesn't like the idea of messing around with FO4edit, I guess they could try both mods, with UCW followed by More Common Weather, so the game takes UCW's edits generally across the Commonwealth and then just makes "crappy" edits to the half of the map that More Common Weather actually has any edits for. Not tried just doing that myself, but guess that'd work in theory.
Compatibility note - this mod also works well with No Godrays (I have that mod below this one in my order, both at the end of my list).
Yeah, there won't be. It looks like that mod edits vanilla weathers to change their appearance, which this mod doesn't do. I edited regions to apply DLC weathers to places they otherwise weren't.
First I thought, a small tiny addition, maybe quite often hardly noticable. But the changes to "atmosphere" are big, and this is frankly said the best weather mod I ever tried, makes the game look and feel so much better. Extremely underrated. Thanks.

Clear Skies inside.
How do I change this?

Anyways, thanks and endorsed.
I'm going to test it out.
