📋 About This Mod
Skyrim's default timescale is acceptable considering in-lore size of the province vs in-game size of the province but Skyrim's default weather transition speed feels too fast, so I drastically lowered it. From the Default 16 -> 1
Now, weather transition speed is much slower and smoother as a result. In real life its not too uncommon for weather to change abruptly but in Skyrim its every weather call.

Load the ESP below any and all weather mods. Works great with Obsidian Weathers and Seasons
Smoother Weather Transitions is a lightweight immersion mod that lengthens the duration of weather changes in Skyrim, making shifts between weather types gradual instead of abrupt. It's ideal for players who find the default transitions jarring and want a more natural atmosphere without altering other gameplay elements.
✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community-approved with 266 endorsements and over 23k downloads, so it's a proven fix for a common annoyance.
- Does exactly what it says: no bloat, just smoother weather changes.
- Lightweight and likely compatible with most setups since it only tweaks transition timing.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2022, so it may not be tested with the latest Skyrim patches or mods.
- The effect is subtle—if you're expecting dramatic weather overhauls, this isn't it.
- Potential conflicts with other mods that alter weather or time settings, so you'll need to check load order.
For Skyrim players who notice the jarring snap between weather states and want a more natural, gradual shift. It's perfect for immersion-focused playthroughs where atmosphere matters. Skip if you're looking for new weather types or visual overhauls—this only tweaks transition timing.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Place this mod early in your load order, before other weather mods, to ensure its changes aren't overwritten.
- If you use a mod manager like Vortex or MO2, let it handle the file placement to avoid conflicts.
- Test in-game by waiting for a weather change (e.g., using 'wait' or fast travel) to see the smoother transition.
