  • 03/04/14: updated patch for AOS 2. 0
  • 01/02/14: All files are packed, now with fomod installer.
  • 30/12/13 : Added a patch for Audio SKyrim Overhaul. My mod didn't work if loaded before AOS, and AOS didn't work very well if loaded before my mod. Now fully compatible.

EATURES

  • All region has at least one storm weather and one fog weather, which is not the case on vanilla
  • Fixed some strange weather chances (ex: 70% of rain/fog in Falkreath and 70% of cloud/sun in the forest around???)
  • Most regions have several cloudy, clear, foggy, rainy weathers to offer more diversity
  • Little chance to have snow on Marsh, very little in Solitude and tiny on tundra.
  • same weathers inside and outside cities
  • Riften have more fog than aspen forest.
  • Tundra, and Marshs are cloudy regions
  • The reach is a foggy region
  • Pine Forest, Volcanic Tundra, and Aspen Forest are nice regions with sun.
  • Moutains and Snow regions have more fog, more snow but less cloudy weather.
  • Coast Region has less sun, more clouds.
  • Solitude has a weather mixed between Tundra and Coast Weather.
  • More auroras on the North, and less on the South

OMPATIBILITY


Not compatible with mods that change weather regions chances. As far is as know: - Climates of Tamriel - Enhanced Dynamic Weather System - Tropical Skyrim and Seasons of Skyrim - ELE - Weather Addition.esp (ELE - Weather.esp only is ok) - Pure Weathers: only if loaded before ESW, and only if you want to use my weather regions chances. Otherwise, use only PW.

- Natural Lighting and Atmospherics: not compatible if NLA is laoded after. If NLA is loaded before, you won't have the few new weathers but lighting improvement will work.

Compatible with everything else: - RCRN - Use the correct version - ENB (except those compatible with COT only, I think), FXAA, SweetFX... - Realistic Lighting Overhaul (include weather), Ultra Realistic World Lighting, Enhanced Lights and FX... - More rain, more snow, Supreme and Volumetric Fog, Supreme Storms, Lightning during Thunder Storms... - Real Clouds - Wet and Cold, Frostfall
