📋 About This Mod
Modifies all of the rain ".particle" files (including toxic rain), so not compatible with other mods that edit any of these files, such as Improved (or is it?) Rain Effect by u/Sosuine
New "Lighting Revamp" addon available that almost could've been it's own mod: This massively overhauls the lighting for (and a few other aspects of) the rainy weather state, by tweaking it's .envparam file... This is not compatible with other mods that edit the "24h_weather_rain.envparam" file, including the "Straight Rain" addon for this mod... It is compatible with all other files from this mod and with most other mods (including "Env" lighting/weather pattern mods and custom LUTs)... See the last "Known Issue" below for more details as to why I suggest this (though note that it is absolutely not required and the issue should never be too bad even without any other LUT mods)...

The main version can hit performance pretty hard in the rain on some hardware, especially when you are moving fast... I basically get the same average framerate, but I get pretty bad drops down to the low teens every once in a while if I'm driving real fast though the city or something (probably happens about every 10-30 seconds of fast driving and lasts for less than a second)... I very rarely drop below 30FPS without this file, and only down to the mid 20s or so when I do)... This almost seems to be area specific, though... Mostly seems to happen around the area just inside of the city and outside of the Badlands, but does also happen in a couple other areas, too, such as Corpo Plaza...
The "Lighting Revamp" addon is slightly experimental though has been tested quite extensively and seems fine... I did some things in it that almost shouldn't work, though, like add in proper sun r
