✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 289 endorsements and over 8.8k downloads.
- Gives you five distinct looks to pick from, so you can match your mood or playthrough.
- Interior changes are a nice touch—most weather mods ignore interiors, but this one darkens them for consistency.
⚠️ Cons
- It's a WIP, so expect occasional updates and potential changes that might break your current setup.
- Last updated in 2017, so it might not be fully compatible with newer Skyrim versions or other mods.
- The Skytoon version is over-the-top, which might not suit everyone's taste—could clash with more realistic setups.
For Skyrim players who want to tweak the game's atmosphere without overhauling everything—if you're into visual variety and don't mind a work-in-progress, this is worth a shot. Skip if you prefer a single, polished weather mod or want gameplay changes; this is purely cosmetic.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Pick one version and stick with it—mixing files from different versions could cause weird color glitches.
- If you're using a mod manager, preview the different versions in-game to see which color scheme fits your setup.
- Since it's a WIP, check the mod page periodically for updates to avoid missing fixes or new versions.
