Natural Environments

Description: Natural Environments is my personal attempt to enhance and improve environmental components of Elder\'s Scrolls IV. The 2. 1 version of the mod includes dozens of features: seasonal weather patterns, improved visualization of most celestial features found in the game, more than 40 new weather types (the default number is 7), and additional ambient wildlife species, such as birds and insects. Natural Environments also takes care of several minor annoyances that were present in the original product, such as opaque water surfaces, muddy underwater vision, visibly pixelated cloud textures, unrealistic meteoric conditions, and random weather changes. Most of the changes are cosmetic and should not affect the game’s performance noticeably. Natural Weather: responsible for all meteorological modifications. Natural Water: provides various tweaks for in-game water types. Natural Habitat: adds and controls more than 20 different types of birds and insects. Natural Vegetation: alters scaling characteristics of trees and shrubs. Feature List: Natural Vegetation It is a very simple, yet highly effective modification that completely changes the visual look of the game. It alters several characteristics of trees and shrubs, making them appear much taller and more foliose. The overall effect drastically changes the game environment and adds a great amount of immersion to the gaming process. Proceed with caution: extensive canopy coverage and dense foliage can make it very easy to veer off the path and get lost in the forest. Natural Vegetation is the most recent addition to the package that has not been tested properly at the time of release. It should be completely stable, but some minor glitches may occur. Key facts you need to know about Natural Vegetations: - This mod won\'t affect your fps numbers. If it will, the difference should be nearly unnoticeable. - There are two versions of the mod: regular and 200%. The latter (found in Extras) produces much taller trees, but it also creates and amplifies several clipping issues that many people don\'t like. - Natural Vegetation (and all other Natural Environments components as well) can be turned on and off whenever you feel like it. - If you have any objections to the visual effect it provides, just disable this part of the package. I really enjoy the new look, but everyone is entitled to his or her opinion. Rainbows \"One of the most spectacular light shows observed on Earth\" now can also be observed on your monitors. Rainbow arcs can only be briefly seen immediately after showers, right when the sun comes out. Since it\'s the newest addition to the package, some minor visual glitches may occur. If you choose to provide me with a detailed explanation of the problem, I may take my time to fix the problem. Seasonal weather patterns and Climate changes Each season affects probability factors of different weather types. Winters are characterized by periodic snowfalls and
