📋 About This Mod
I was surprised that there was no weather-survival style mod after all these years, so I made a simple one for myself and decided to release it. This is designed to cater to people who do not use fast travel. It was made with stability and simplicity in mind, so this shouldn't cause slowdowns unless your computer is already struggling to run Oblivion.
NEW IN V2:
- Endurance is no longer drained, so characters with low endurance will no longer die should the stat drop to zero.
- Able to seek shelter from the rain. (SEE BELOW FOR DETAILS)
- Greatly increased times before freezing.
- Added optional personality debuff when nude (SEE BELOW FOR DETAILS)
NEW IN V1. 1:
- Campfires will now keep you warm during cold weather. This feature also works with mod added fires from UL or camping mods. (SEE BELOW FOR DETAILS)
- There is a now the option to gather small branches and pieces of wood from any tree with collision, as well as stumps or (most) wood piles. This wood can be used to start a small campfire in an emergency, but must be maintained with more wood every two hours or it will go out. Collecting wood has high quality sound effects included (and maybe an animation in the future). (SEE BELOW FOR DETAILS)
- There is now a Tinderbox item added to vendors and clutter loot via script, that is required to start a fire for anyone with a destruction skill under 25. (Those with 25+ destruction can light a fire with fire magic). Each tinderbox has 5 uses. The tinderbox is added via script, so it is 100% compatible with any other mods that touch these vendors and leveled lists.
- There is now a timer to "warming up" when around a fire or inside of an interior. The "warming up" time is twice as fast as the "drain time" when in cold weather.
- If you are in the colder northern regions at night or during snowy weather, using the "wait" function while outside without being near a fire or without being fully clothed + a scarf/cloak/etc will be fatal if you have waited for too long. After waiting for 2 hours the small campfires included in this mod will be extinguished, 3 hours and you will be suffering from the "freezing" effect and loosing health, and 5+ hours will immediately kill your character, as you have frozen to death.
- Optimized some weather checks.
- Compatible with All Natural
- Cold, Hot, and Rainy weather will affect your stats and make planning for the climate important.
- Will detect cloaks, capes, and scarves from other mods.
- Designed to be extremely simple and stable.
- A message will display whenever there are any ef
Adds a simple survival mechanic to cold, hot, and rainy weather, making weather conditions matter for survival. A niche immersion mod with 167 endorsements and over 5,000 downloads, last updated in June 2021.
