Obsidian weather fog and snow version

My editor for the great Obsidian weather model. I'm mainly making this for Skyrim VR, but of course, it works with normal SSE. This is a complete remake of my previous mod.

I do this for a few reasons...one is to do something different. I also like to hide LODs and pop them out as much as possible. Water reflections and volumetric lighting don't work properly in VR, so the lack of direct sunlight allows you to maintain proper water color. Finally, VR aliasing is most noticeable in clear weather, so this helps in that regard.

Changelist for Original Obsidian

• Clear all clear sunny weather. The new basic weather is overcast and cloudy.

• Removed most rainy weather (only rainy weather is a magic storm) and increased the chance of foggy weather. Snow is kept in areas where it would normally snow, but does increase the likelihood of snow accumulation in/around the whiterun

• Added a small chance of Dawnguard DLC Blood Eclipse in various regions

• Bloom and eye adaptation removed from all image spaces

Do not use the Seasons feature when using this version of Obsidian

I highly recommend pairing with the list of recommended mods below.

real life snowflakes

Real Rain - This one looks a bit in VR but some people may prefer it.

morning fog

misty clouds

Ethereal Cosmos (weather settings you won’t see the sky as much)

Of course there is no snow under the roof to get any patches for the various mods you have

No snow under roof fix

Volcanic Mushroom

Realistic Waters Two with Skyland Watercolor

smooth coast

For trees I think this works best for 3D trees

I used Whiterun Hold's Big Forest, so that's how the Tundra's weather is set up. Alpine Forest can also be used, but neither is required.

For a nice horror experience, use the Rogue-Like Encounters Monster Only Core version

Thanks again to the author of the Great Obsidian Weathers mod

For trees I think this works best with 3D Trees

I use The Great Forest of Whiterun Hold so the Tundra weather was setup with that in mind.. Alpine Forest will work as well but neither is required.
