📋 About This Mod
Natural and Atmospheric Commonwealth (NAC)
is a complete all-in-one DLC sized weather, lighting and visual enhancer for Fallout 4.
From the lighting and the climate to the skin shaders, almost every aesthetic aspects of the game have been altered in some way
to give the most natural and eye candy visual possible.
Because NAC changes so many aspects of the game and because some cannot be made as optional (see description below)
the mod comes as an ESM, like any other DLC, to let anyone chose and modulate which features to keep or not.

F E A T U R E S
NAC is almost entirely modular from Pipboy :
to change ingame the climate and season, to use real time season, to enable & disable any weathers and storms,
to change night and interior settings (luminosity, dynamic fog levels), to enable or disable special effects...
It's even possible to shut down NAC climate and weather to only use all other NAC features with another weather mod
or to use the "Hybrid Climate", which allow to have both NAC climate & weather running along with another weather mod.
