Vivid weather (integrated version)

It's a complete lore-friendly weather and climate overhaul for Fallout 4! It will add over 75 new weather types and over 110 new cloud textures to the Fallout 4 world for you to experience. It also improves the overall image quality by adding new LUTs and image spaces to the game, as well as player home and base completion lore!

I have packaged the ontology and its Chinese version (from)

As well as the MCM setting patch (from) and the corresponding Chinese patch (from), a total of four files are uploaded together, and you can choose to install them according to your own needs.

important

• Don't use a different timescale than the original time. Different time scales always mess up weather systems.
• The Fallout 4 engine is more finicky than all other engines in this situation and you will be stuck in rain and snow for days!

• Note that the Fallout4 engine is also much worse at saving games.

You will definitely destroy your save when removing any larger mod, and this is a large mod!

-> Vivid Weathers (obviously) with any other weather overhaul (like Truestorms)

And other mods that change weather/climate or region or color LUT changes are not compatible (ECC aso..)!

-> Darker nights from Author

-> Far Harbors requires a compatibility patch, available as a plugin in the installer

Bugs and issues

Possible heavy snow weather may bring some flashes of snow, which I believe is an engine issue.

Snow moving through buildings: yes that's an engine limit, Beth just enabled rain

Purple clouds/particles crossing the mold = missing texture! Check your installation

Weird broken clouds in the sky = your weather doesn't support the 30 layers of clouds I cover.

Most issues are likely coming from other mods or being force …
