Added a performance mode, which brings the number of splash effects back in line with the standalone. Enabled by default but can be disabled if your system can handle it.
Interior rain sound effects are now automatically disabled if True Storms is installed.
Version 1.0
The following are changes from the standalone versions. There is no direct upgrade path from the standalone versions. A clean install or a save without any of the previous versions installed is highly recommended.
Splash of Rain: Implemented a new method to increase splashes at all levels with little to no additional performance impact.
Rainbows: Increased the variety of rainbows. MCM options are now available. Moonbows removed.
Shooting Stars: Shooting stars have a new look: they are larger and move more slowly. Colored shooting stars removed. Added new dialogue for innkeepers indicating when an event is active.
Made performance optimizations to all three features.
Rain impact splash effects appear on most uncovered surfaces during rain.
Ambient, exterior rain sound effects can be heard from inside.
[PC] If you are unable to see the splash effects, you may need to go into your skyrimprefs.ini (Documents\My Games\Skyrim) and increase the value of iMaxDesired under [Particles] by increments of 50 until they show up.
Shooting Stars
Shooting stars aka fragments of Aetherius appear in various sizes and fall from various positions in the sky at night (8:30pm to 6:00am). The general direction they fall in will change on a monthly basis.
Meteor showers (shooting star frequency increased) are guaranteed to occur during certain nights of the year. The dates they occur on coincide with the actual meteor shower dates of Earth.
3rd of Morning Star 21st of Rain's Hand 5th of Second Seed 11th of Last Seed 20th of Frostfall 17th of Sun's Dusk 13th of Evening Star
Meteor storms (shooting star frequency greatly increased) have an extremely low chance of occurring each night. You may see them 2-3 times per in-game year.
Innkeepers will have new dialogue on the night an event is active.
Rainbows
Rainbows will appear after a weather transition from rainy to clear when the sun is low (8:30am to 10:15am and 4:00pm to 5:45pm).
They can also appear as a result of early morning dew (8:30am to 9:00am) in the warmer regions of Skyrim. These are much more faint.
[PC] Object Fade under advanced options in your Skyrim launcher (or fLODFadeOutMultObjects in SkyrimPrefs.ini) must be set to at least 10.
Compatibility
Compatible with all mods.
Load order doesn't matter, but sort with LOOT.
