Rustic Weathers - TrueStorms Compatibility Patch
Yet another merged compatibility patch to make True Storms compatible with Rustic Weathers And Lighting. True Storms includes a lot of subtle effects that might not seem like much at first glance, but they go a long way to add atmosphere and intensity to stormy weathers. I have yet to find a weather mod that didn't benefit from the added audio and particle effects that True Storms brings to the table, so while this is indeed a compatibility patch, I like to think of it more as stormy weather overhaul. Even if you weren't planning on including True Storms in your load order, I highly suggest giving this setup a try, as True Storms really does a fantastic job at amping up your storms. Hopefully you will enjoy it as much as I do!
Features
-Completely overhauls the audio and effects of all of Rustic's stormy and rainy weathers by merging the 30+ thunder, wind, and rain sounds from True Storms in with Rustic's system. All audio was distributed evenly throughout all weathers to ensure that no two weathers ever look or sound the same.
-Redistributes a few of True Storm's unique weathers into Rustic's region data where it made sense to do so, taking special care not to add weathers that might seem out of place in Rustic's weather system.
-Tweaks the Solstheim regional data to include the added variations of ash storms from True Storms, and provides support for those added by Wet&Cold for a completely revamped Solstheim weather system.
-Comes in two versions for visual preference. Both versions contain all of the above features, they simply change the "aesthetic" of your stormy weathers purely by tweaking things like ambient lighting, coloring, fog settings, etc. None of Rustic Weather's main features have been altered in this patch.
Here's an overview of what both versions do:
-Nimbus-
This version keeps nearly all of the original stormy aesthetic from Rustic Weathers, with the addition of True Storms rainy/snowy effects and audio. If you were looking for a version that only carried over True Storm's effects and audio without changing anything from Rustic Weathers, then this is the version for you.
-Horizons-
This version keeps more of the aesthetic of True Storms, but blends the two together more evenly and darkens the atmosphere a bit for some added intensity. If you were looking for a version that keeps more of True Storms aesthetic, then
This is a compatibility patch that merges True Storms' audio and particle effects into Rustic Weathers and Lighting, overhauling stormy and rainy weathers. It includes two visual versions (Nimbus and another) and adds Solstheim ash storm support. For Skyrim Special Edition players using both weather mods.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-trusted with 344 endorsements and over 11,800 downloads, so it's proven in load orders.
- Adds True Storms' atmospheric audio and particles to Rustic Weathers, making storms feel more intense and immersive.
- Includes Solstheim-specific tweaks and Wet & Cold support, which is a nice touch for players who want a complete weather overhaul.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2018, so it may not be compatible with newer versions of Rustic Weathers or True Storms without manual patching.
- Requires both Rustic Weathers and True Storms to be installed, adding two mods to your load order just for this patch.
- The two visual versions might cause confusion if you don't know which aesthetic you prefer, and there's no clear recommendation in the description.
For Skyrim Special Edition players who already use Rustic Weathers and want to add True Storms' audio and particle effects without conflicts. Also for modders who want a more immersive storm experience with Solstheim support. Skip if you don't use both weather mods or prefer a single weather overhaul.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure you have both Rustic Weathers and True Storms installed before adding this patch, and load it after both in your mod order.
- If you use Wet & Cold, install its Solstheim support patch to get the full ash storm experience.
- Test both visual versions (Nimbus and the other) in-game to see which storm aesthetic you prefer before committing.
