Creeping Blight

Creeping Blight

Description

This mod changes the weather chances in the game's regions, including an increasing chance of blight before the Main Quest is completed.

There are two versions of the mod, a plugin version and an MWSE version. The MWSE version is more compatible, and additionally allows you to configure the base weather chances for each region. It also includes a "time elapsed" feature (blight chances increase as the days pass before finishing the Main Quest) that the plugin version lacks.

Base Weather Chances

The first set of changes in this mod are changes to the base weather chances in the game's regions, in ways that I think make more sense. This refers to the default/base weather chances, not the increased chance of blight during the Main Quest.

In the plugin version, these base weather chances are set in stone unless you modify the plugin. In the MWSE version, the Mod Config Menu allows you to adjust the base weather chances to your liking. (It basically incorporates the functionality of Weather Chances Adjuster).

A summary of these changes to weather chances follows:

1. Ashstorms (but not blight) are now possible in all regions of Vvardenfell. This includes Sheogorad. Regions closer to Red Mountain have higher chances of ashstorms. Probabilities range from 30% in the Ashlands to 5% in Azura's Coast.

2. All weather conditions (other than blight, snow and blizzard) are now possible in all regions of Vvardenfell. For example, rain and thunderstorms were previously not possible in the Ashlands or Molag Amur, and fog and overcast were not possible in the Ascadian Isles. Now they are.

3. The chance of fog has generally been lowered. It's now 5% to 10% everywhere, with coastal areas generally having higher chance of fog.

4. Rain is now always more likely than thunderstorm, with coastal regions generally having greater chances of these conditions.

5. Some of the very high chances in vanilla (for example, 60% for cloudy in the Bitter Coast, and 45% each for clear and cloudy in the Ascadian Isles) have been toned down and distributed to other weather conditions.

6. Regions that you'd think would have good weather (such as the Ascadian Isles and the Grazelands) have higher chances of clear and cloudy weather than other regions.

7. Red Mountain before finishing the Main Quest is still 100% blight. However, after completing the Main Quest, the weather chances for Red Mountain are different than vanilla. Previously, Red Mountain post-main quest had 50% chances each for clear and cloudy, with no possibility of any other condition. This has been changed to make more sense, with weather chances similar to the Ashlands, but with a somewhat higher chance of ashstorms.
