📋 About This Mod
I've retextured the snow and rain effects because I didn't like the vanilla look of them. The rain now appears more watery instead of lines and I have changed the bokeh effect of the snow to look more like a lens flare and also reduced their size so they are not so in your face.
VERSION HISTORY: 1. 0: Initial release 2. 0: Made the rain drops look more watery. Added a more heavier falling rain version (requested). Redone the bokeh effect in the snow, now it fits in to the effect more naturally. 3. 0: Fixed the rain appearing as if it is out of sync with the sound effect. Worked some more on the rain textures and are now happy with them, they look heavier when raining, so there is no need for a heavier version anymore. 4. 0: Redid textures, they look a lot better now that the normal maps are not being corrupted when packed, thanks to superdemus fantastic tutorial fix 5. 0: Added distant rain fall in heavy storms. This effect is best viewed at night or in dim light conditions. If you have reached your texture mod limit I recommend merging them together into one mod using Witcher 3 Mod Merger
COMPATIBILITY: Not compatible with any textures which replaces the rain and snow effects textures.

✨ Key Features
📊 Pros & Cons
✅ Pros
- Community favorite with 3,343 endorsements — clearly a lot of players dig it.
- Massive download count (80k+) means it's been tested by tons of people.
- Lightweight retexture — won't tank your FPS like some weather overhauls.
⚠️ Cons
- Last updated in 2016 — might not play nice with newer game patches or DLC.
- Only touches rain and snow — if you want storms, fog, or lighting, this won't cut it.
- No screenshots or detailed description — you're flying blind on what it actually looks like.
For players who want a quick, no-fuss visual upgrade to rain and snow without overhauling the whole weather system. If you're a modder looking for a base to build on, this is a solid pick. Skip if you want dramatic weather changes or need compatibility with the latest game version.
💡 Beginner Tips
- Since it's a texture replacer, just drop the files into your Data folder or use a mod manager — no need to mess with load order.
- If you're on a modded setup, check if other weather mods overwrite these textures; you might need to load this after them.
- Back up your original textures if you want to revert, though most mod managers handle that automatically.
