WAO - Weather and Ambience Overhaul (VW-AOS2-SOS)

_____ NOTE: This patch requires Dawnguard, Hearthfire, Dragonborn, USLEEP, and all other files mentioned in the requirements section. ¯¯¯¯¯ Have a good machine? Feel free to submit screenshots or make a video! My laptop doesn't at all show the mod's potential, but some of the user images attest to the weather side of things; it's really in sore need of a video review, so hopefully that happens soon.

______________ INTRODUCTION: ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Where to begin? This is my first Skyrim mod. It began as a 'megapatch', resolving conflicts between a collection of the most-used weather and ambient sound mods on the Nexus. With time, though, it's become quite a bit more than just a patch. This is my Weather and Ambience Overhaul. ________ PURPOSE: ¯¯¯¯¯¯¯¯ Weather and Ambience Overhaul is an all-in-one compatibility patch that aims to integrate a huge number of additional weathers and sounds to Skyrim, greatly enhancing weather variety and the general atmosphere of the game world. Vivid Weathers' are fully integrated with Minty's lightning to produce a powerful, and sometimes even intimidating weather system, while sounds from Audio Overhaul for Skyrim 2 and the Sounds of Skyrim mods come together beautifully to enhance the soundscape (without 'flooding' it)!

All the shiny stuff aside though, the original purpose of this mod was to enhance compatibility and reduce plugin load. Weather and Ambience Overhaul resolves all of its masters with a single plugin, with separate lighting editions and a number of optional patches for compatibility with other mods, nearly all of which have merged options. The original plugin spared me thirteen . ESPs that had major conflicts, regardless of load order. Just in case that doesn't impress; at the time of writing this, the 'redundancy list' has more than tripled!
