📋 About This Mod

~Introduction~

While following the trail of the spy Hendrick, Geralt soon found himself in the village of Heatherton.  From the outskirts he immediately noticed that something was wrong.  There were no people in the village, and the ground was cold and frozen.  Something supernatural had caused this.  Something not of this world.  His eyes fell on a nearby shack, inside which lay the corpse of his contact.  As he approached, something else caught his watchful eye.  There, sparkling in the snow against the white backdrop, sat a small box - frozen, cast aside, forgotten.  The witcher bent down and picked it up.  The box shook in his hand, and he sensed untold power contained within it.  He clipped the box onto his belt and continued on his way.  There would be plenty of time to examine the contents later.  Now he had to discover what had happened to the village...

~Detailed Description~

The Weather Machine is a magical item from another realm left behind by the Wild Hunt in the village of Heatherton.  It possesses the power to change the weather at the will of the person wielding the device:

  • []Clear - with the click of a button, all inclement weather is removed and the skies will be clear.

    []Rain - Geralt can summon a heavy rainstorm.

  • Snow - the machine will cause snow to fall and fog to envelope the land.

Note: the Weather Machine can freely change the weather in Velen, Novigrad, Skellige, and Toussaint.  However, its magical properties are restrained in White Orchard and Kaer Morhen.  It can clear the skies in White Orchard and Kaer Morhen, but a mysterious aura prevents it from calling rain in Kaer Morhen or snow in White Orchard.

"Randomized Weather": An Optional add-on version is available that allows you to change the weather not to a specific one, but to a random one. Credit goes to Akatoshka for the randomization script. Click on the spoiler tag below to see the full description of what the Randomized Weather version does:

Description:

Completely redesigns how the weather is selected. The script scans your weather lists, and then selects random weather depending on the type of Machine:

- Rain: random rain weather.

- Snow: random snowy weather.

- Clear: random NON-rainy and NON-snowy weather.

- Fully compatible with all weather mods.

- A more diverse experience, which you will get thanks to the choice of random weather conditions.

The conversion time from one weather to another has been increased from 1 second to 15 seconds so that it doesn't look so unnatural.
