📋 About This Mod
DESCRIPTION
Dusty distance is one of my all-time favorite mods, but it doesn't work with other weather mods. Then Dusty Distance xEdit Scripts came along to extend the effect to many other mods, but you had to manually patch every weather yourself in xEdit...
Now, with Dusty Distance Redone, you get an ESP-free mod that applies the same effect, with extra customization thanks to an included INI file. Some weathers can be excluded, and fog distance can be randomized. You can also edit fog color and its "intensity."
Compatible with any mod that doesn't change fog distance via script. Feel free to tweak the fog distance values to your liking.
REQUIREMENTS
JIP LN NVSE Plugin
JohnnyGuitar NVSE (for FULL and PLUGIN versions only)
ShowOff xNVSE Plugin (for FULL and PLUGIN version only)
COMPATIBILITY
Any weather mod should be compatible, except Nevada Skies - Weather Effects (the version with scripted fog distance).
Could improve performance when used wisely alongside Fog-based Object Culling (requires very close fog). Outside of that, it shouldn't impact game performance at all.
When using the FULL version, you can use the INI file to prevent specific weathers from being edited by the mod.
Screenshots were taken using vanilla weather. Effects may vary depending on which weather mods you're using.
