About this mod
Dynamically changing animated windows that can be opened and show the weather outside, for a 'cozy' and immersive aesthetic with leaves that drift inside, or butterflies that fly in the spring or summer.

How To Install
- Install the latest version of SMAPI.
- Unzip the mod folder into Stardew Valley/Mods.
- Run the game using SMAPI.
*[NOTE] - If you don't want to use the custom backgrounds that come with this mod, or if you have other Content Patcher mods that change the custom backgrounds of the vanilla windows. Then you are able to simply just delete the folder titled '[CP] Dynamic Windows', found within the folder called 'Dynamic Windows'.
How To Use
Simply install and view the weather system displayed on VANILLA windows. The GMCM is highly recommended if you want to change the particle variables while in game. I tried to stay true to vanilla as much as possible while also changing the speed, for example, to align it to be slightly more realistic.
I created the [CP] Dynamic Weather pack with my own mod in mind so the backgrounds are very basic (I am not an artist sorry lol), but you are able to use ANY pack or no pack.
The backgrounds I made are meant to allow the particles to be the main focus, which are dynamically created and occluded for immersive depth.
Lightning Effect is added with a subtle thunder sound and flash to the windows. Everything is configurable to be off.
Contents:
Weather Particles:
- Rain effect system with rain particles and lightning flash effects that are triggered in real time to your in game lightning flashes.
- Sunny Effects with dusty motes particles that drift in front of your windows, light shafts that changes the angle and color based on the time of day
- Leaf (Windy) effect with leaves that blow inside when the window is open
- Snow effect with snow particles that drift inside when the window is open
Open Windows:
To open a window walk up in front of it and use your action button (usually right click) to interact with the window and open it
Open Windows allow:
- Custom animation to vanilla windows
- Small critters to enter inside (Configurable.)
- - Butterflies during summer and spring day time
- - Fireflies during windy, sunny, or rainy weather summer night time.
- Leaves to enter in
- Snow particles to enter in
(More to be added)
Settings
You don't need GMCM for this mod to work but it is highly recommended. You are able to change what is shown, and some config variables like speed and opacity for the particles.
Compatibility
There should be no compatibility issues. The only known issue is if you decide to use my [CP] Dynamic Windows pack while also trying to use another pack that changes the Vanilla windows, then one of ours would 'lose' and wouldn't show but that is a common issue.
You can use any custom pack that changes the frame or even the whole window itself just not the dimension of the visible window, as my animation to open the window and particles rely on this.
So no issue with the base Dynamic Weather mod itself.
How To Remove
Simply remove the folder from within Stardew Valley/Mods. Safe to add or remove mid playthrough.
