Seasons and filtering options
________________________________________________________
Enable season-based lighting and climate changes. Progress naturally through winter, spring, summer and autumn. Experience torrential rains during the months of Rain's Hand, the colorful days and nights of the sun's height, and the ominous autumn chill of Frostfall. Players are required to go to sleep for changes to take effect. Use the Obsidian Power to enable Seasons FX or other image filters (Fantasy, Cold, Dusky and Natural), or if you don't like strong sunlight, use Weaker Sunlight for a softer look.

compatibility
____________________________
Compatible with all functions except weather module
Not compatible with night darkening mods unless they are made specifically for Obsidian Weather (these are basically weather mods)
Not compatible with storm mods without patches (these are weather mods)
Using only vanilla weather IDs ensures full compatibility with models such as Frost, Wet & Cold, Weather Wonders and Beyond Skyrim
Seasonal weather requires modifications to zone recording, so a patch for an audio overhaul is needed to add new zone sounds
Compatible with all indoor lighting overhauls (i.e. ELE, RS, ELFX, RLO). Minor adjustments to torches and magelights to balance out darker nights.

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.
