'SKSE plugin which fixes auroras getting stuck when transitioning between worldspaces.'

Looks like a practical fix

This is a no-brainer unless anyone can report issues. Non I've seen when running it, but I haven't noticed the aurora 'stuck' issue myself in my testing other things.

[z929669]

Still awaiting to hear from anyone running this if it works as intended.

I haven't experienced the problem (or noticed it in the past) and don't want to spend time trying to reproduce it, so I can't say.

My game is running fine with this installed, but I'm not inclined to tag it for inclusion in 2.2.0 unless it gets some advocacy.

This is a bug in the vanilla game, but it likely won't be found in the modded game due to the weather mods. You can't reproduce it by removing Cathedral Weather mod.

I suspect that as long as the weather you're transitioning to has an aurora attached to it, this bug won't happen.

Although i introduced this mod, i never experienced this very specific bug before, i just thought this might be a sensible precautionary fix for something you'd rather not want to happen in your game. In the meantime the MA updated the description a bit to be a bit more 'descriptive' ...

What i don't understand is how using a weather mod could fix this issue by themselves, maybe lowering a probability of the bug happening by employing different auroras? I have no idea about these mechanics.

It makes sense that a weather mod with auroras would resolve the vanilla issue, since it's replacing that functionality ... I hadn't considered that.

I agree that we probably don't even need this mod (less is more in that case). Unless anyone experiences this issue, we can probably exclude this from consideration. I will leave it tagged as testing for now in case there is a revelation in the next few days.

I have been playing for a while with this installed. But, like Cornelius, I have never experienced the bug, so I wouldn't know if the bug is fixed or not. I didn't experience any adverse effects with it installed though. I guess it is handy for people who do experience the bug, but otherwise it more of a "take it leave it" mod.

I will say that I have entered Appocrypha and left several times using Cathedral Weathers, and never saw the issue, but that doesn't mean it is not a valid bug and fix. The weather record contains a special field to define auroras. My guess is you would trigger this bug by visiting Appocrypha and exiting into an exterior cell where a weather without a defined aurora is active. This is just a guess however.
