About this mod
This is my personal tweaks to make the nights of Vivid Weathers darker and the cloud faster for ENB cloud Shadows, and other tweaks.

- Changelogs
TL;DR: See the images posted. Darker nights, faster clouds, fogline fixes, I also removed a bunch of camera effects like the "volumetric fog" that appears in the rainy, foggy, and some of the Radstorm weathers.
I was inspired by the nights of Lightweight Lighting, by SpringHeelJon, to make this mod. Vivid Weathers, by MangaClub, is the best weather mod out there, but the nights are to bright for my liking and trying to make it darker with an ENB will end up with a bad looking image. Its better to let the weather mod handle it than adjusting an ENB.
You might ask me, bro.... and point to this mod====> Darker Nights.... Darker Nights is a good mod but it gets rid of the sunlight/direct lighting overall and your left with a super dark image with no moonlight coming through, leaving you with only ambient lighting. The great thing about Lightweight Lighting is that the nights are balanced between the fog, sunlight/direct lighting, and ambient lighting, giving you some visibility with shadows showing but its hard to see out in the distance.
My other goal was to make an ENB that has great cloud shadows casting across the commonwealth, so I increase the cloud speeds and made the cloud travel in a direction were it will pass the sun quicker.
I fixed to fog line in some of the weather were it was visible, specifically the Radstorms. Then I removed all of the camera effects because its hard to balance them out with an ENB, especially if you use the Fallout 4 Particle Patch. I only kept some of the camera effects on the heavy rain weathers because it looked good.
Recommended mods:
FPSL - Lighting and Tweaks Performance - add shadow, looks good, and better performance. It does a lot.
Lightweight Lighting Not required, but this mod pairs nicely with FPSL and it changes the image space of interiors to be darker.
