📋 About This Mod
This mod simply adds the dusty weathers used in DUST, for those that wish to have an apocalyptic atmosphere without getting viciously murdered by Tunnelers/Cannibals/Fire-breathing King Arthurs repeatedly.
I'm not judging you. Much.
Most of these weathers are pulled straight from the Lonesome Road DLC, so that DLC is required. Dead Money is NOT required. I chose not to make downtown Vegas use the same weathers as used in DUST, as it would be very difficult to enjoy the wonders of the Strip in near total darkness. The Strip uses slightly modified versions of the weathers used elsewhere in the Wasteland. To keep the look consistent, I've also made the weathers of outer Vegas less red and Cloud-like. Enjoy!
BUGS: The only possible bugs would be if I forgot to replace a weather in a certain area. I doubt this has happened, but if you happen across any blue skies, be sure to report them, along with where you were when you encountered them.
DUSTy Weather replaces Fallout: New Vegas's vanilla weather with the atmospheric weathers from the Lonesome Road DLC and the DUST overhaul. This is a simple, lightweight mod for players who want a grittier, more desolate Mojave without changing gameplay. With 480 endorsements and 12,949 downloads, it's a niche but popular choice for atmospheric tweaks.
