📋 About This Mod

COMING SOON FOR FALLOUT 4

Climates of Tamriel is the most endorsed and downloaded weather and lighting overhaul for TES: Skyrim.

It replaces all of the vanilla game weather and lighting, and replaces it with its own unique, beautiful style. It adds hundreds of weather variations ranging from sunny, cloudy, overcast, stormy, snowy blizzards and foggy, and the sunrises and sunsets are second to none.

It also adds effects such as real sheet and fork lightning creating truly violent thunderstorms, and volumetric fog. It adds new thunder sounds as well as interior rain sounds which are adjustable via the in-game menu.

Climates of Tamriel also provides optional modules for darker nights, more atmospheric interiors, as well as darker dungeons.
