You are a Rainmaker. You can make it rain by praying.
You will also gain Rainmaker perks as you progress as a Rainmaker.

To get started, go outside and use Pray for Rain power. Wait until it starts to rain. The rain will get heavier as you continue praying. You will become a Novice Rainmaker when you finish praying (move or jump to finish). You will gain your first Rainmaker perk out of three basic perks.

You will gain more perks and reach higher ranks as you make it rain repeatedly.
The higher your Rainmaker rank, the more powerful effects of Rainmaker perks are.

Compatibility

Rainmaker does not modify weather itself so it should be compatible with any other weather mods.


Uninstallation

Basically, you should not uninstall any mod mid-playthrough. I recommend to reset Rainmaker from MCM instead, then Rainmaker won't affect your gameplay at all until you use Pray for Rain again.
If you need to uninstall anyway, reset from MCM likewise before uninstalling.






True Storms for better rain visual and sound. It also adds interior rain sound.

Supreme Storms for harsher rainstorms. Compatible with True Storms.

Wonders of Weather for splash of rain effect and rainbow (and interior rain sound if you don't have True Storms).
If you found the splash effects too bright for your enb setting, try to tweak opacity of dropsplash.dds.

DOWNPOUR for better rain texture.
If you found the rain too subtle for your enb setting, try to tweak opacity of fxraindrops.dds.

Frostfall for challenging gameplay. You will lose temperature in exchange for Rainmaker buffs from rain.






Q: How can I progress as a Rainmaker?
A: Make it rain. To be precise, once a day, you can gain full Rainmaker experience point when you use "Pray for Rain" no matter whether it was already raining or not. You can also gain halved experience point whenever you make non-raining weather into raining.

Q: It takes so long time to make it rain.
A: Rainmaker doesn't force the weather to change immediately but let it change in usual transition pace. It usually takes 15 - 30 sec. It takes more if the weather was already in transition to non-raining weather when you start praying. Some weather mod may change transition duration.

Q: My rain stops too soon.
A: It occasionally happens. Kyne doesn't desire rain today.

Q. Rain is fine. But I don't want any fancy buffs from the rain.
A. You can disable Rainmaker's perk system from MCM.
