📋 About This Mod

This patch was made for Climates of Tamriel v3. 1! We have no intention to update it to v5. 0 at this time. Please respect this decision.

Please READ the stickys is the comment section! They contain important information!

A crash on startup (right after the Bethesda logo) almost always means that you are missing a masterfile. Please check carefully that you have all the requirements for each module installed correctly and use BOSS or LOOT to sort your load order, before asking for help in the comment section.

Also, there is such a thing as a search function for the discussion tab. Go into forum view (click "View forum thread" in the top right corner) and notice the "This topic" filter next to the search bar. Please at least put some effort into figuring out whether your particular question has already been answered before asking. We're here to help, but it gets tiresome to repeat things over and over. Thankyou for your cooperation!

ITM records reported by load order tools (such as BOSS/LOOT) refer to ClimatesOfTamriel.esm, not Skyrim.esm - you can clean them, but they're harmless so it's not necessary.

Adjusting Foggy, Rainy, Overcast, Snowy, Clear and Cloudy weathers of Climates of Tamriel by JJC71 This is a collaboration project of prod80, Aiyen & Saerileth

CHANGES • To get this straight from the start: This is tailored for use with ENB! • Adds volumetric fog into foggy weathers (Fog Edition - works well with ENB only) • Changes all Overcast, Rain, Snow and Fog type weathers entirely • Fixed bright grass issue on all Overcast type weathers (Overcast, Rain, Fog) • Fixed bright sunshine through the clouds on all Overcast types weathers (Overcast, Rain, Fog, Snow) • Fixed extremely bright sun when not using CoT's default sun in Snow Clear weather types • Added more sunshine into Cloudy weather types • Changes all Sky gradients to be in line across all weathers for easy compatibility with ENB • Changes distant fog color to be dynamic across different weather types (color and distance) • Changes a lot of image spaces, removes "Blur Sky" for all but the appropriate weathers • Reduced blur on all IS (day/night) to a bare minimum • Redone all fog distances and colors on all weathers • Remove the "Red sun of CoT" from all weathers. It's gone. Daytime sun will always be white. • Night image spaces

✅ Pros

  • Massive community trust – 63k endorsements and 1.6M downloads speak for themselves

  • Simple patch that does exactly what it says – tweaks all weathers

⚠️ Cons

  • Last updated in 2014 – likely incompatible with newer Skyrim versions and mods
  • Requires Climates of Tamriel as a dependency, so it's useless without it
🎯 Is This For You?
For Skyrim players who already use Climates of Tamriel and want a weather overhaul that feels more integrated. If you're on the original Skyrim (not Special Edition) and running an older mod setup, this is a must-have. Skip if you're on Skyrim SE or AE, as this patch is ancient and likely broken.

💡 Beginner Tips

  • Make sure you have Climates of Tamriel installed first, then drop this patch after it in your load order.
