📋 About This Mod

In the vanilla game there is no fog or dust storms. Although there is rain and snow, it does not have variable density and it does not affect morale.

This mod adds rain, snow and fog with variable density, and dust storms to both the campaign map and battles.

On the campaign map, rain and snow affect visibility, morale and movement speed. Fog affects visibility and morale. Dust storms affect visibility, morale and movement speed.

Fog banks spawn on forest and coastal sea terrain. Dust storms only spawn on desert terrain. The chance of fog and dust storms spawning is 20% and 10% respectively every hour and the fog density is random.

In battles, rain and snow affect ranged weapon accuracy, AI shooter error and morale. Fog affects AI shooter error and morale. Dust storms affect movement speed, ranged weapon accuracy, AI shooter error and morale.

In custom battles you can select the rain/snow and fog density from none, light, moderate, heavy and very heavy. You can select dust storms as a special option under the fog density dropdown.

If you are using Realistic Battle Mod, rain, snow and dust storms also modify stamina reduction.

Known limitations:

  • []This mod only improves upon the existing weather in the vanilla game. It does not make weather events appear more frequently on the campaign map.[/]

    []This mod may not be compatible with other mods that change party morale, party speed, and party visibility on the campaign map. So use at your own risk.[/]

    Includes a localization template and Chinese localization by default.

    If you encounter a crash, always provide the crash report from ButterLib. It makes it much easier for me to troubleshoot it.

    This mod should be placed at the bottom of the load order.

    It is safe to install and uninstall on an existing save.

📊 Pros & Cons

✅ Pros

  • Huge community trust (3,175 endorsements, 366k downloads) — clearly a go-to for weather overhauls.
  • Adds real tactical depth: weather impacts morale, movement, and ranged accuracy, making battles more dynamic.
  • Safe to install/uninstall mid-save, and the author provides crash support via ButterLib reports.

⚠️ Cons

  • Doesn't increase weather frequency on the campaign map — only improves existing weather, so you might not see the new effects often.
  • Potential conflicts with other mods that alter party morale, speed, or visibility on the campaign map — use at your own risk.
  • Requires careful load order placement (bottom) and may need ButterLib for crash reporting, which could be a hassle for some.
🎯 Is This For You?
For Bannerlord players who want more immersive and tactical weather without overhauling the whole game. If you're tired of static rain and snow and want weather that actually matters in battles and campaigns, this is for you. Skip if you prefer minimal changes or don't want to manage load order compatibility.

💡 Beginner Tips

  • If you use Realistic Battle Mod, make sure it's loaded before this one so the stamina reduction integration works.
  • When reporting crashes, grab the ButterLib crash report — it helps the author fix issues faster.
