📋 About This Mod
TS version is OBSOLETE - the newest version of True Storms uses ESP-FE, which makes the True Storms version of my mod obsolete. I do not wish to adjust that version because I am no longer modding at all, so I leave it as-is. You can certainly do so yourself! Feel free. The vanilla version works as intended, however.
You Like Dust Storms? We Got Dust Storms
Choose either file but NOT both, and obviously True Storms is only a requirement if you use that mod.
This tiny mod is a set of overrides to either vanilla OR True Storms to create more desert-like weathers in the Commonwealth. This removes chances for rains and fogs, but increases the chance that you will get:
-
[]Clearest skies
[]Clear skies
[]Overcast
[]Radstorms
[]Dust Storms
Does This Mod Change Actual Weathers or Just Chances?
These files only change the chances of weathers. It will not have an effect on what those weathers look like.
Still Getting Some Other Weathers
Yes, it's a Bethesda game so oddities may still occur. However in using this throughout many playthroughs the weirdities tend to sort themselves out eventually. Did you know that when you start a new game the game loads a queue of weathers and keeps going as you wander around? So, once you add this mod you will have to wait a few days for the new overrides to catch up, plus as you wander around the world those old queued up weathers will run and eventually go away ("mostly . . .").
Also check the True Storms if you use that mod to ensure the holotape options are set as you want. There is a constant rad rain setting to note.
Feral Horde From True Storms
True Storms has an optional in its holotape to start up feral hordes that appear during rad-like weathers. This mod adds dust storms to that mix. You can learn more about the horde from the True Storms mod page. I only added dust storms to the list.
Dust Storm Effects and Heat Hazard?
One of my other tiny mods in this growing Dusty Dude Abides series is the already published Dust Storm Effects and Heat Hazard. If you have that mod you will suffer a slight health degen during the afternoons, and it will be hard to walk in a dust storm let alone sprint. Check it out.
Suggested Mods
* Radio mods might suddenly stop playing like I have experienced every so often, and there are ways to fix it. One important tip is to remember if you installed any additional mods since y
This mod overrides weather chances for vanilla or True Storms in certain Commonwealth regions, limiting weather to clear, overcast, and radstorms while significantly increasing dust storms. It also adds True Storms' feral ghoul weather. For Fallout 4 players who want more dust storms and less varied weather.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-trusted with 345 endorsements and nearly 36k downloads.
- Makes dust storms way more common, which is great for that wasteland vibe.
- Works with both vanilla and True Storms, so you can use it either way.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2020, so it might not play nice with the latest game patches or mods.
- Cuts weather variety down to just clear, overcast, and radstorms—could get boring if you like dynamic weather.
- If you're using True Storms, you'll need to grab that mod separately, and the feral ghoul weather might not be everyone's cup of tea.
For Fallout 4 players who want more dust storms and a grittier, less varied weather experience. Perfect if you're using True Storms and want to amp up the feral ghoul weather. Skip if you prefer diverse weather patterns or don't want to mess with weather chances.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're using True Storms, make sure it's installed and loaded before this mod in your load order.
- Check your load order with a tool like LOOT to avoid conflicts with other weather mods.
- This mod only affects certain Commonwealth regions, so you might still see varied weather elsewhere.
