Updated on September 27th:

Version 2.0.4

Diamond City and Neighborhood will share the same weather as the rest of the Commonwealth. The weather also doesn't randomly change when walking in and out of these locations.

Updated on January 11, 2026:

Version 2.0.3

Fixed an issue with configuring holotapes that could cause ghoul attacks to not work properly.

The main file will be re-uploaded from source on November 10th.

Updated on November 9th:

Version 2.0.2

Fixed missing ESM flag on TrueStormsFO4.esm (forgot to reopen it after editing, oops)

Reworked the recipe for the fog filter to use scrap steel instead of steel

Version 2.0.1

Fixed some missing sound effects recordings in the Far Harbor + Nuka-World patch.

Version 2.0

This is a maintenance, cleanup and installer update, no emergency update is required if you are currently mid-game.

All plugins except the main ESM are now ESP-FE (ESL-flagged ESP!), freeing up load order slots.

FOMOD has been updated to include all DLC and options; no more confusion or manual steps.

All DLC add-ons have been redesigned for better patching.

Dust storms no longer occur in the Commonwealth. These are now only in Nuka World.

Vanilla weather opportunity options updated for Far Harbor and Nuka-World.

Added vanilla weather chance + earlier sunset patch.

Minor cleanup was done throughout.

The major version was increased to 2.0 as Far Harbor and Nuka-World were compressed and turned into ESP-FE, which "broke" the previous versions.

True Storms effect is now on by default. Turn on holotapes for further adjustments, enable ghoul attacks, and more.

The main file, Far Harbor and Nuclear World plug-ins are now packaged. The optional Quieter Thunder patch and the original spawn probability patch are uploaded together. The main file and the Far Harbor Nuclear World plug-in are installed together to make the module work properly. The remaining patches can be installed according to your needs.

Brand new particle textures, materials, and visual effects, suitable for real strong storms.

Volume sliders for thunder and rain sounds give you more control.

NMM installer for easier option selection (requires Mod Manager)

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions

  1. Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
  2. There is no universal mod manager for this game: some mods replace game files directly, some go into a game-specific Mods folder, and some need a game-specific community loader or tool first — follow the bundled readme.
  3. Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
  4. Launch the game to confirm it loaded; some games require enabling mods in settings or an in-game mod menu.

Install locations vary a lot between games and mods — the bundled readme is the most reliable guide.
