Issue

Weathers in the game are pretty much visuals only. With the help of some mods you can add nice immersion changes like NPCs changing their outfit and looking for shelter, or play certain chilly idle animation + frost/wet shaders. But fundamentally, that is fluff. Weather has no real impact on how you play the game.

Functionality

Alters the resistances values of fire, frost, shock and disease based on the current weather. Doesn't apply when in an interior.



Each +/- increases/decreases said resistance by 10. The effects are distributed as well to the NPCs with the use of SPID, including creatures.

Installation

Place in Data folder/ use mod manager. The FOMOD will automatically enable compatibility patches for weather mods if those mods are present.

Customization
None at the moment. Each weather (that is considered for applying effects) has a specific spell record with certain effects that can be tweaked in xEdit.

Updating

Spell would need re-distribution, also applies to customizing the values in xEdit. Recommended to update when in an interior to reset the weather alterations and avoid any possible persistent alterations.

Compatibility and Load Order

Compatible with everything. No vanilla records were altered.

Weather mods

This mod DOES NOT edit in any way the weather records. Meaning it is semi-compatible with every weather mod. If the weather mod adds a weather record, it would require a compatibility patch to make the weather detectable, and apply the consequent effects. However, the vanilla weathers, even though they are modified by the weather mod, are still detectable. Worst case scenario you will have, for example, some rain that will not apply the intended rain effects.
