⚠️ Cons

💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's an older mod, check if you're using Skyrim Special Edition or Anniversary Edition — you may need to find a port or use compatibility patches.
- If you use a mod manager like Vortex or Mod Organizer 2, install it through there to keep your load order clean.
- Test it during a storm by waiting or using console commands to set weather to a thunderstorm.
