📋 About This Mod
The mod features:
– tweaked horizon layer in the cloud mesh
– 6 horizon clouds textures
— 2 redone vanilla
– added horizon clouds to vanilla weathers (base game + all dlc)
– fixed vanilla colouring for horizon layer (base game + all dlc)
– fixed neon colours in vanilla cloud layers to prevent pink/green clouds (base game + all dlc)
– Desert Natural Weathers addon
— adds horizon clouds to several weathers
— optional: added tints to DNW clouds at sunset and sunrise, as currently they are ~white (not needed with NVR).
If using Cloud Upgrade, I recommend these ini settings for the horizon layer:
SubSpeed = 0. 04
SubVolatility = 0. 04

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Adds subtle depth to the Mojave sky without overhauling the whole game.
- Fixes vanilla weather quirks—nice for purists.
- Solid community backing (207 endorsements, 16k downloads).
⚠️ Cons
- Only affects horizon clouds—if you want full weather overhauls, look elsewhere.
- Requires Desert Natural Weathers to get the extra tweaks, so that's an extra mod to manage.
- No screenshots or install details in the description, so you're flying blind until you try it.
For Fallout: New Vegas players who want a subtle visual upgrade to the sky without a heavy mod. Perfect for those who appreciate vanilla-friendly tweaks and use Desert Natural Weathers. Skip if you're after dramatic weather changes or don't care about horizon depth.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you use Desert Natural Weathers, make sure to load Decent Horizons after it so the tweaks apply.
- Check the mod's file structure—if it's a simple texture/mesh replacer, you can install manually by dropping files into your Data folder.
- Since it's a visual mod, try it in a clear area like Goodsprings to see the horizon effect immediately.
