Patches for the underrated Western Sky mod.

Four tiny patches for the underrated Western Sky mod:

- Remove insane blue glow from The Strip. It is still "blueish" but in
  such a way that it doesn't bother me.
- Sound fix for sandstorms, they are no longer silent.
- Better visibility for sandstorms.
- Disable sandstorms alltogether.
- Replace static towering clouds for moving vanilla clouds.

Note: The sandstorms have an effect of -4 Perception and +20 sneak.

You need the original mod of course: Western Sky.

I like that mod because of the overall cinematic feel which to me is a
refreshment from the popular "realist" weathers.

And I like simplicity. I'd rather have one good weather instead of 350
weathers that often look alike.

Nevada skies also has a "Western Skies" weather, but it is quite
different. It has much more muted colors and doesn't have the
fifties technicolor feel anymore. The cloud.nif file constantly shows
a thundercloud, and it is broken. The sandstorms of Nevada Skies
however are way better. See last screenshot for comparison.

INSTALL:

Use only one of two Western Sky files, and add the patch files you
want. Something like this:

Western Sky.esp
Western Sky - Sandstorm Fixes.esp
Western Sky - Disable Sandstorms.esp
Western Sky - Strip Fix.esp
Western Sky - Vanilla Clouds.esp

OR

Western Sky - Darker Nights.esp
Western Sky - Darker Nights - Sandstorm Fixes.esp
Western Sky - Darker Nights - Disable Sandstorms.esp
Western Sky - Darker Nights - Strip Fix.esp
Western Sky - Darker Nights - Vanilla Clouds.esp

Note: Personally I no longer use Western Skies. I use the vanilla weathers now,
in combination with Dusty Distance Redone and the Soft Focus and Horizon Clean
features in Dynavision.
