Rustic Weathers and Lighting .: by Arindel :. ---------------------------------------

Additionally, there is one optional plugin: - Rustic Weathers - Presets: adds a Power spell that allows you pick one of the available presets which can alter your brightness, contrast and saturation.
For seasonal weathers support, download Seasonal Weathers Framework and the patch for Rustic Weathers there to add seasonal weathers support for use with Seasons of Skyrim SKSE so that you get snow weathers and no rain storms during winter and so on.
Features: ------------
changes weathers, fog, godrays and imagespaces to achieve a rustic, medieval look

blizzards and rain storms are now heavier as they should be
louder wind, rain and thunder sounds
more thunder sounds can be heard during rain storms
rain sounds can now be heard in interiors along with thunders
