About this mod Machine translation
Go from obsidian weather to cathedral weather and seasonal rain/fog/thunderstorm weather.
As much as I love the Cathedral weather and seasons, it has an annoying problem: the rain and thunderstorms... don't look good. They are too bright when they are supposed to be dark and gloomy. Specifically, volumetric lighting and lens flare are set too high in weather, where they should be low or low.
To solve this problem, I did two things. The first is to copy all the rain and fog weather from Obsidian Weathers and Seasons, which have very superior rain/fog, and import them into a separate ESP. Because Cathedral weather is built from Obsidian weather code, and they all only use vanilla weather values, this won't cause any incompatibilities. The second is some manual adjustments. I used the command to look at all the rain/fog weather in the game and make unique modifications to most of them (which pretty much only involved adjusting settings for volumetric lighting, sun intensity, and lens flare).
The only requirement is cathedral weather. Do not install Obsidian Weather. Just put this ESP in CW&S in your load order and you should be good to go.
This is the first iteration of this mod, so please report any bugs you find or any improvements I can make.

As much as I love Cathedral Weathers & Seasons, it has one annoying problem: the rain and thunderstorm weathers... don't look great. They're much too bright when they should be dark and gloomy. Specifically, the volumetric lighting and lens glare are set much too high in weathers where they should be either low or off.
To address this, I did two things. First was to copy all the rain/fog weathers from Obsidian Weathers and Seasons, which has vastly superior rain/fog, and import them into a separate ESP. Because Cathedral Weathers was built off of the Obsidian Weathers code, and they both use only the vanilla weather values, this doesn't cause any incompatibilities. The second was some manual tweaking. I used commands to view all the rain/fog weathers in-game, and make unique modifications to most of them (which almost exclusively involved tweaking the settings for volumetric lighting, sun intensity, and lens glare).
The only requirement is Cathedral Weathers. Do not install Obsidian Weathers. Just place this ESP after CW&S in your load order and you should be good to go.

Install & use Install: follow the bundled instructions
- Unzip the archive from playbuff and read the bundled readme / instructions first.
- 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.
- Place the files exactly as the readme says; mods with listed dependencies need those installed too.
- 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.
