screenshots were all done without reshade or enb
- All 7 vanilla weathers redone
- 7 new weather types added to fill the gaps between default types and to complete true atmospheric diversity into the climate
- New custom made textures for clouds, suns and sunglare, proper fog and HDR settings
- Playable darker nights.
- Lightweight, no dependencies, no script, no feature freak, no bullshit

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Huge community trust (2,857 endorsements)
- Nearly 288k downloads prove it's a go-to weather mod
- Lightweight approach means less performance hit than heavy ENBs
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2021 — may not be fully compatible with the latest Oblivion patches or mods
- Weather-only mod — if you want lighting or texture overhauls, you'll need to pair it with other mods
For Oblivion players who want a cleaner, more natural sky without overhauling the whole game. If you're after a simple, performance-friendly weather upgrade, this is your pick. Skip if you need a full visual overhaul or if you're on the latest patch and worried about compatibility.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a weather mod, load it early in your mod order to let other mods overwrite if needed.
- Check if your other mods edit weather records — if so, use a bashed patch to merge changes.
- If you're using OBSE or other engine tweaks, test in a new save to avoid conflicts.
