Installation
- Download and install Community Shaders
- Download and install Azurite Weathers III
- Download and install Azurite Weathers III - Enhanced
- Load Azurite Weathers III - Enhanced.esp after Azurite Weathers III
+ A patch for Mists of Tamriel is included in the FOMOD, don't use the one for the regular Azurite III.
+ A patch for Alluring Sunsets and Sunrises is included in the FOMOD. It's like a weird mash up of settings from Enhanced, with the sunset/sunrise settings of Alluring, but with the VL from Enhanced, so your mileage may vary.
+ Azurite Weathers - MCM and Settings Loader should work just fine, I only slightly tested it.
Recommendations
- Install EVLAS so volumetric lighting matches sun/moon position
- Install DALC Fix it's now updated for Azurite III Enhanced
- Don't use Azurite Weathers - Hide Those Moons or Azurite III - HDR as they are both included in Azurite III Enhanced, but please GO DOWNLOAD AND ENDORSE THEM
