📋 About This Mod
This replaces the default rain drop texture with a texture which is more visable in game.
Installation: Drop the Data folder from the .zip into your Skyrim folder.
Contain: fxraindrops.dds
For maximum visability.
You can use this in your mods how ever you want. I make simple rain replaces for every game I play so I dont care what you do with them. Just enjoy.
P. S. Just waiting for a good weather mod to come out that produces more rain particles in bad weather, as right now, even in a heavy rainstorm it barely drizzles.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 853 endorsements and 31k downloads – clearly a favorite.
- Simple texture swap – no performance hit, works with any load order.
- Still works fine for Oldrim users; it's a classic that hasn't needed updates.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2014 – might not be compatible with Skyrim Special Edition without manual conversion.
- Only changes the rain texture – if you want more dramatic weather effects, look elsewhere.
- No screenshots or detailed description – you're flying blind on what it looks like.
For Skyrim players who want a quick, no-fuss visual upgrade to rain without overhauling their weather system. Perfect for modders who prefer lightweight texture replacers. Skip if you're on SSE and want plug-and-play, or if you expect more than a texture swap.
💡 Beginner Tips
- If you're on Skyrim Special Edition, you'll need to convert the texture to work – check the mod comments for instructions.
- Place this mod early in your load order (or just let your mod manager handle it) – it's a texture replacer, so it won't conflict with gameplay mods.
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to easily enable/disable and avoid overwriting other rain textures.
