📋 About This Mod
Description
This mod has 1 goal, making sure that STLM
looks good for all weather conditions.
For that, i worked in two ways:
- Tweaks of weather conditions
- Tweaks of clouds files
I recommend using Motion Blur Toussaint mod (STLM Version), as it fix a problem with B&W clouds (causing performance issue with SLI or multiple screen or any big config). I'm too lazy to include this fix in Custom Clouds....
- Fixed/reduced lots of exposure problems for almost all clouds, all weathers, all zones.
- Addition of many clouds to make custom modifications for each weathers / zones.
- Sun looks better behind clouds.
- More contrast with clouds at sunset.
for weathers:
- Added clear weather (WT_Clear) in weather cycle for all zones.
- Added light clouds weather (WT_Light_Clouds) in weather cycle for WO, Novigrad/Velen and KM.
- Changed weather probability of occurrence to include WT_Clear and WT_Light_Clouds, keeping the spirit of Vanilla.
- Same combination of clouds as Vanilla for almost all weathers/zones.
- Added B&W cloud in Skellige clear weather (WT_Clear).
- Fixed missing cloud in Mid_Clouds for WO.
- Increased wind for clear weather (WT_Clear) to avoid flat sea.
- New Bigger waves for Skellige during storm.
- New Fixed Vanilla bug with rain_mist emitters in rain_storm_fx (better compatibility with bigger waves).
- New Fixed invisible rain by switchin

⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2018 — might not play nice with newer game versions.

For STLM users who want more dramatic skies and weather without overhauling everything else. If you're not running STLM, this won't help you. Skip if you're after gameplay changes — this is purely visual.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Make sure STLM is installed first, then drop this mod's files in the right folder.
