Vivid Weathers are compatible with

• Wonders of Weather
• Mintys Lightning Mod
• http://www.nexusmods.com/skyrim/mods/74048/?" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">Ultra HD Transparent Snowflakes

Vivid Weathers are not compatible with

• Any other ENB Preset out there...yes they need to be adjusted for Vivid Weathers...kinda Obvious ;)
• All weather mods out there (pretty obvious hm?:) such as:

Expanded Snow systems (already included in VW)

Supreme Storms (already included in VW)

Climates of Tamriel

Vivid Clouds and fogs (already included)

Realsitic skyrim Snowflakes (already included)

Purity, NLA, RCRN, Pure weathers

ELE Weathers, RLO weathers, ELFX weathers and everything else that overwrites skyrim or COT weathers.

Supreme and Volumetric Fog - those effects are already included

• Every snowflake texture replacer (VW uses a own Snow system, ask your snowflake replacement author to support VW, its not that hard)
• Sunglare/reflection replacements (VW disables sunglare becasue the skyrim Sunglare is buggy as hell)
• Imaginator (please do not use with the ENB)
• hialgo - garbages textures
• Truestorms (needs a patch)
• RealShelter (needs a patch)
• ULTRA REALISTIC WORLD LIGHTING
• Sounds of Skyrim
• Revamped Exterior Fog

Make sure you load Vivid weathers after any Sound and weather changing mod.

The load order of Lighting mods like ELE, ELFX depend on your preference becasue vivid weathers affect interiors also.

I recommend to load it afterwards to prevent any conflicts with the ability of Vivid weathers to change the interiors brightness.

The vivid weathers AOS patch always needs to be loaded after Vivid weathers and AOS ofcourse ;)
