📋 About This Mod
Dolomite Weathers - NLVA II Now Available for SSE
A few people really liked the snow and rain from my new weather mod, Dolomite Weathers - NLVA II, and asked if there was a way to get it to work with other weather mods, so here it is.
- []3D occluding rainfall and snowfall. Snowflakes twirl and are no longer perfect spherical orbs. []Raindrops are now droplets, not lines. I achieved this by making the droplets wider and about 5x less long and applying the standard stretch effect. []Light snow falls gently to the ground. Blizzards are intense. []Rainfall is much more dense.
- I've included remastered vanilla audio as well to match the precipitation.
This mod replaces Skyrim Special Edition's rain and snow with 3D occluding droplets and twirling snowflakes, plus remastered audio. It's designed to work alongside other weather mods by loading after them, using vanilla record IDs. With 492 endorsements and 9,459 downloads, it's a popular precipitation overhaul for players who want more realistic weather effects.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 492 endorsements and nearly 10k downloads
- Makes rain and snow look dramatically better with 3D occlusion and realistic droplet shapes
- Works with any weather mod as long as it loads after, so you can keep your favorite setup
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2017, so it might not be fully compatible with the latest Skyrim SE patches or other mods
- Only affects precipitation, not the overall weather system, so you'll still need a separate weather mod
- Compatibility depends on other weather mods using vanilla record IDs, which might not be the case for all mods
For Skyrim Special Edition players who already use a weather mod like Dolomite or others and want more realistic rain and snow without switching their whole setup. If you're looking for a full weather overhaul, this isn't it—it's purely a precipitation and audio upgrade.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Load this mod after your main weather mod in your load order to ensure it takes effect.
- If you're using a mod manager, just download and activate—no manual file placement needed.
- Check if your weather mod uses vanilla record IDs; if not, this mod won't affect its precipitation.
