IMPORTANT
- DO NOT use a different Timescale than the vanilla one. Different Timescales always
fuck up the weather system. The FO4 engine is way more picky in that case than all
of the other engines and you will be stuck with Rain or snow for days!
- BE AWARE that the Fallout4 Engine is also even more fuckery when it comes to savegames.
