Weather Probability Rebalance

How unmodded weather works

By default the game cycles through different weather types following a transition map, with each weather phase having a min and max duration. There are many transitions back to sunny weather, and sunny weather can last up to 15 hours. This is why the game spends so much time in sunny.

In certain parts of the game the weather is forced to a certain type for a quest. The weather should revert back to the transitioning weather after the quest part is over, but sometimes the game bugs and stays stuck in sunny weather.

Badlands: In the badlands, CDPR seems to only allow a subset of the transitions, resulting in (almost?) always going back and forth between Sunny and Sandstorm.

What this mod does

I redid the transitions to reduce the number of cycles leading back to Sunny. There's a bit less variability in possible paths, but basically every time you see Sunny, you're guaranteed to be on your way to something interesting (e.g. Acid Rain, Rain, Sandstorm) before you see Sunny again. I had to avoid touching certain transitions because some of them mess up weather in the badlands if you touch them.

I also changed the durations so that you can enjoy all the other stuff that's not Sunny. Transition times are unchanged.

Compatibility

Not compatible with some other weather mods and some mods which affect lighting. Specifically anything that modifies the file base\weather\24h_basic\cp2077_master_env_ep1_v006.env inside the game archives.

Troubleshooting

• []Try skipping time ahead a day or so to move on to the new weather patterns (if you're on unmodded sunny when you load the game you may have to wait up to 15 hours for that weather to end).[/]

  []The game can get stuck on permanent Sunny (game bug, not from any mod). Several people have reported this happening at the beginning of Act 2 (after the heist), and I personally have experienced that as well. I think it gets fixed by getting to any scripted weather change in the game, but the easiest one is to go to the Blade Runner easter egg location to trigger some scripted rain (MAKE SURE TO EXIT USING THE ELEVATOR).[/]

Installation:

• []Extract the archive into the game directory.[/]
