- Credits to Mangaclub and everyone else who contributed to Vivid Weathers, which this mod took some inspiration from
- Compatible with Clarity - A Visual Overhaul (load before Commonwealth Climate)

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 1,055 endorsements and 28,735 downloads — clearly a hit.
- Vanilla-plus approach means you get a moodier Commonwealth without a total visual overhaul.
- Lightweight weather mod that won't clutter your load order with heavy dependencies.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2022 — might not be fully compatible with the latest Fallout 4 patches or DLC.
- Weather-only mod — if you're looking for lighting or texture changes, this won't cover that.
For Fallout 4 players who want a grittier, more atmospheric Commonwealth without straying from the vanilla look. Perfect for those who prefer subtle tweaks over full visual overhauls. Skip if you want dramatic weather effects or lighting changes.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a weather mod, make sure to place it early in your load order to avoid conflicts with other weather mods.
- If you use a mod manager like Vortex, let it handle the file placement to avoid overwriting issues.
- Check if the mod requires the Fallout 4 Script Extender (F4SE) — if not, it's a simple drop-in.
