Classic Weathers Redone

This mod brings back Skyrim's original cold, bleak lighting while still retaining various changes Special Edition makes. Most weathers have simply been reverted back to the way they were in the original game, with some minor tweaking here and there. Soul Cairn and Apocrypha weathers remain unchanged, along with a handful of other weathers that Bethesda actually improved in their remaster. Solstheim weathers remain largely untouched, with some adjustments to cloud coloration.

Volumetric lighting is generally less intense to blend better with the colder, less lively weathers. Fog distance clipping issues have also been fixed on certain weathers.

If you are looking for completely a completely faithful restoration of Oldrim's weathers, I recommend Skyrim Legendary Weathers. This mod takes a different approach, however, with manual tweaking and the preservation of many of SE's changes, rather than simply porting over the original weathers.

An addon that removes all eye adaptation and bloom effects from the game is available for those that want it.

This mod requires 64 bit render targets to be enabled in Skyrim's launcher. If you don't enable it, there will be broken color streaking in the sky.

To restore the distant blurring effect of the original game, use the excellent mod Distant Blur on legacy mode.

If you want interior rain sounds, use my other mod, found here.

This is a replacement for both Classic Weathers and my old mod Classic Weathers Extended. Uninstall them if you want to use this.

Due to the nature of this mod, it contains a lot of ITMs, they are intentional. Don't clean it with SSEEdit.

Let me know if you have any questions or suggestions.

That's all, enjoy.
