📋 About This Mod
Realistic Sun Damage
By: OperatorJackDescription
This mod adds a +/- 50% random modifier to the sun damage calculation. It doesn't make sense that sun damage is a constant value for the given time and weather, as clouds and coverage can change. It does not modify the sun damage formula in any other way. So, for example, if the vanilla sun damage calculation returns 4, the new calculation could return 2, 3, 4, 5 or 6.
I made this mod to showcase usage of a new feature I made in MWSE. I do not intend to expand the functionality in any way beyond what is currently offered.
This mod IS NOT compatible with OpenMW, at least until support for MWSE mods is added.
