Clouds

[Wolfstorm321]

Is it possible to manipulate the clouds in the worldmap, when building the LOD? 

I have clouds on top of an area I'm building, and can't see its features in the worldmap. 
I know that if I put a blank nif file in the cloud box (in the Creation Kit), all the clouds disappear, but then, I was wondering if it would be possible to line them up with the land, so that they can only cover the sea. Would this be possible?

The cloud NIF on the map has nothing to do with LOD generation.

By default the game simply loads ..\Data\meshes\sky\skyrimworldmapcloudbank.nif and displays it on the map.
You can use xEdit Asset Browser (CTRL+F3) to extract it to edit in in Blender/3DSMax.

Yes, this is possible. Jonx0r goes into detail in his Skyrim New Lands Mod Mega Tutorial: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1j0xoZFy3tj_J9aL-O0JVqHMLcizGl0Vj/view
