📋 About This Mod
Introduction:
Why a new version? Well when i started to work for the new update of SS what i wanted to do was just a new mod for clouds but to do it as intended i was tied to a weather mod but if I would release just an update all the big work i have done would have been lost and not reach everyone.
So why Extended? cause the new version of SS has clouds unique for every weather situations, this means every single clear weather, cloudy,rain and storm will show different types of clouds
- Season ( season system will follow the internal calendar of Skyrim every season, will be different from another winter,spring,summer,autumn)
- Custom weathers ( new weather situations that will appear randomly and unique during the seasons )
- Different custom Sunset/sunrises ( every weather clear or cloudy has a different sunset and sunrise many of this are realistic pics location from Finland )
- Different reflection color during sunrises and sunsets on ground
- Custom and unique Sounds ( a new variety of sounds for storms, thunder and wind )
- Custom Realistic and unique Clouds for every single weather situations to create a realistic sky with northern clouds
- Volumetric mist ( different types of volumetric mist soft and heavy depending of the weather situation, will also cover and fix partially the cut of the horizon in some situation )
- Distant Rain ( and effect that will reproduce the idea of falling rain in distance )
- Daylights ( some days have a more strong light than others and you can tell the difference moving form a dark spot to a light one, this gives the idea of a warm sunny day)
- Nights are dark and navigable, it would be possible to move during night time and have a complete visual of what around
- Fog has been completly value redone and now is strong and thick but still will leave a good visual of the scenary
- Colors in general are not so strong, a bit more washed but realistic ( this should be easy for modders to create ENBS and have a balance saturation level )
- Snowflakes textures from Cathedral Weathers
- Smooth Sky mesh - SSE from --JawZ--.
- Sunglare included
- Version True Storm Patched
COMPATIBLE AND SUGGESTED MOD:
- True Storm ( compatible with alternative Esp )
True Storm will mostly affect Solsthein area. SSE has it's own Extreme weathers situation that will appear seasonly
- Storm Lightning for SSE by ShiZof
- Obsidian montain fog
- Any other Clouds mod, but it will break the singular clouds feature of Scandinavian Seasons Extended
- Volumetric mists ( it will work perfectly with the one gener

- The season system actually follows Skyrim's calendar, so you get real variety as you play through the year.
- Clouds are unique for every weather type, which is a level of detail most weather mods skip.
⚠️ Cons

💡 Beginner Tips
