More Persistent Weather

🌧️ **Tired of waking up to sunny days and singing birds and scented flowers every day? ** Even if you fall asleep in a hurricane, wake up to a sunny day? Want to stay home on a rainy day and reminisce, but... there's no rainy day at all? Then this mod might be for you!

✨ Module function

(You can customize all the following settings in the ini file)

**Each weather lasts longer**

  • This mod **doesn't** increase the frequency of rain or snow, but will make it last longer when the game decides that bad weather is coming.
  • There are also options to make clear/sunny weather last longer.
  • ⚙️ **Default** only adds 2-5 in-game hours. If you want a really rainy day or a thunderstorm that lasts all night, you need to set your own values ​​in the ini file.

**Weather persists while sleeping**

Depending on the number of hours you sleep and the duration of the current weather setting, the weather may stay the same while you sleep.

**There is a chance of encountering random bad weather when you wake up**

If you fall asleep in sunny weather, there's a chance you'll wake up to random bad weather.

**Weather remains unchanged after quitting/loading the game**

  • This feature can be a bit wonky, as the mod doesn't save state when the weather transitions from one type to another (which isn't always obvious).
  • If the weather doesn't recover when you reload the game, it's most likely because of this.
  • ⚠️ **Note**: The mod cannot distinguish between different save files. If you load another save, the mod will load the weather from the previous save.

**There is a chance of encountering random bad weather when loading the game**

If the weather you save is sunny (or you don't use the save function), there is a chance of encountering random bad weather when loading the game.

📝 IMPORTANT NOTICE

  • Since it's hard to tell if a mod is working as expected, if you think you're running into a problem (mod not working, weather stuck, etc.), check the log file `MorePersistentWeather.log` in the game root directory and you'll find some information about the current situation.
  • **Weather Chain Example**: For example, a rainy day might look like this: Sunny > Rain > Thunderstorm > Light Rain > Sunny. In this case, the mod activates three times during each rain type. If you set custom values ​​in the ini, keep this in mind, they may stack up and make severe weather last longer than you expect.
  • Currently, fast travel resets the weather as usual.

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.
