    • []Enb Dedicated

    • NORTHERN SAGA WEATHERS AND SEASONS ENB

      ENB COMPATIBLE

      SIN XTREME REALISM ENB

      Keizaal ENB

      Seasons Feature

      (please read description)

      Seasons will change every 3 months by days in game,

      the Meteo now is not depending anymore by regions but by Seasons,

      so imagine Skyrim as a unique region,

      it would be possible to have an entire day with same weather or with 2 changes

      maximo but of course depending on the location

      some weathers types will happen more than others,

      other than this all areas has their particolar colors and light.

      I will explain in details and shortly how SEASONS script works

      Skyrim is now a unique region so there will not be anymore different areas (riften, winterhold, Tundra,ect ect),

      their weather types will be still use but in a different way that normal game

      As you should know there's a calendar in Skyrim, when you pause, you can see hour  and day in game

      The seasons feature read that calendar, example from 1st midyear to 31last seed is SUMMER

      Summer has a chance of 40% sunny weather 20% Cloudy 20% stormrains 10% fog 10% overcastrain

      This means also that if you start a day with sunny weather from Riften and you walk to Winterhold you will still get the same sunny weather and you will not go throw many weather change during a day

      (unnormal if you think about it to pass from sun, fog and rain in few second).

      of course this will not happens everytime

      cause there's a chance the weather will change during day ( but not as fast as vanilla)

      but always depending from seasons weather %

      Summer has also 3 months,

      the 1st and the 3rd month has a chance of less sunn
