Thank you all!
Haze is a weather and atmosphere/environment (visual) overhaul. It comes in two parts: a mod and an ENB+ReShade preset.
It overhauls the looks of the game and its weather system.
While the ENB+ReShade is an integral part of the mod, you can install just the ENB or (for more performance) just the ReShade.
If you starve for performance, you can just use the weather mod without the ENB and/or ReShade.
But you will be missing a lot of the effects that are supposed to be part of the experience.
Not much else can be said, images speak a thousand words...
The weather system has been completely overhauled. It comes packed with 278 different weathers!
Weather probability depends on seasons now and not on regions.
An MCM menu is provided, where you can adjust weather probability by season, or disable seasons all together.
Your weather changes can be saved and loaded later in another game.
Haze comes with extra features such as:
- Variety of new snow particles
- Variety of new rain drops
- New sounds
- Variety of volumetric lighting
- New visual effects
- Dynamic snow cover on surfaces (eg. snow in Whiterun) (can be switched off)
- Snow and frost cover on player, animals & NPCs (alive and dead)
- Wetness on everything when it rains
- Rain drops on camera (can be switched off)
- Rain drops on player & NPCs
- Ash covered player & NPCs in ash storms
Haze overhauls interiors and dungeons too, but in a non-intrusive way.
This means you can use your favorite lighting mod like ELFX or RS along Haze.
Lighting mods and Haze will in fact complement each other!
Performance will vary based on your rig and your mods.
Haze comes with different quality/performance presets, so you can choose the one that runs good on your system.
For maximum performance, you can only install the weather mod (Part 1).
To get better visuals with as little hit on performance, you can install only the ReShade presets from Part 2.
This however will be like half-installing the overhaul.
Part 2 comes in 4 different options:
Full Quality comes loaded with all the goodies.
Medium Quality is stripped from some visuals: dynamic snow cover, rain drops on camera, and sky lighting are the most noticeable.
Medium Performance is strippe

- Community-approved with 427 endorsements and nearly 20k downloads, so it's proven to work well
- Dynamic snow cover on everything is a killer feature that makes the world feel alive
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in January 2023, so it might not be compatible with the latest Skyrim updates or other mods
- With 278 weathers and 326 lighting templates, performance could take a hit on lower-end rigs

💡 Beginner Tips
- Use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2 to handle the file structure—manual installs can get messy with this many files
- If you're using other weather mods, load Haze after them to ensure its weathers take priority
- Check your ENB compatibility—volumetric lighting and particle shaders may need tweaks to look right
