📋 About This Mod

Cathedral Weathers Unofficial Update, formally known as the God Ray add-on applies some fixes and personal tweaks.  Originally this was intended to be more compatible for ENB but it can be used on it's own without an ENB.

A few changes from Cathedral Weathers and Seasons

-Overhauled most god rays / volumetric lighting across most weathers.  VL will be more suitable to the weather and god rays will be more aligned with the color of the sun.

-The sun and moon will now be visible under more overcast, foggy, storm and ash weather conditions... often obscured behind the clouds.

-Adjustments to cloud layers; the fantasy sunsets/sunrises for clear weathers will appear more frequently.

-Minor adjustments to image spaces

-Light rain and light snow has been added to a couple cloudy weathers.

-Fixes interior rain sounds

-Night vision improvements for ENB

-Adjusted snow effects

ENB Recommendation

Personal plug but if you're looking for an ENB, try mine.  I built Soul Spectrum ENB in conjunction with this mod, so the two go hand and hand.  Otherwise any ENB for Cathedral Weathers will work just fine.
