New Version 1. 5: Rare Weather on Icy Moons Add-on
You can load this alongside Complete Weathers Overhaul, Aurora mods, etc. CWO will always load after since it is a small master. You'll keep the Royal Weathers specific tweaks but gain the other changes from CWO. Anywhere there are conflicts CWO will win.
For everything else, Load order shouldn't matter, so I suggest loading Royal Weathers relatively early on a new playthrough, or late if in the middle of a game in progress.
I wanted to call it "Royal Weathers and Worlds" because that's more beautiful, but I've decided to push the major world-tweaks off to a separate mod based on feedback.
This is (pretty much) JUST a weather mod (as many have demanded requested) with some very subtle improvements and fixes to encounters.
This is a surprisingly simple mod in its implementation and should not have many issues or risks with compatibility regardless of where you load it. As a result, I suggest loading it early so that other mods can win any conflicts that might arise, but that is not actually critical.
I am confident this is bug-free and compatible with everything.
The textures are completely optional. If you only want one of the bundled textures, not all, they are currently posted as BA3s on the Starborn Royalty Mod List page and one loose file on the Milky Way (Beautified) page.
There is a vanilla encounters patch if you hate fun. Load that right after Royal Weathers.
August 2024 Update:
You ever bite off a little bit more than you can chew and all of a sudden, you're supporting 30+ mods and a mod list?
As I look to re-create a safe haven for my brain, I am not planning on updating the config file recommendations. I think they're still among the best out there, but I don't particularly have the bandwidth to test everything and support.
Consider any config files I have put out as a reference.
