SKYRIMLE Natural Skyrim Rain

[Spiffyman]

I have heard great things about this mod. It's part of Realistic Lighting with Customization, but you could install it without the rest of the mod I would think.

(see this video, starting at the 2:00 minute mark

)

Perhaps you could consider using this? I recently saw a video for RCRN v3, so I'll be using that when it's released, but I think the rain from this mod might be worth using.

It was in the last version of STEP and hotfixed out because of a conflict with rlwc, no reason not to put it back in now.

It is actually being removed from rlwc and replaced in 4.0 due to this. (The author has also gone missing)

Awe that's too bad, best rain mod by far. I'm learning papyrus so one of these days I'll able to solve these kinds of issues.

huh... That's not something I wanted to hear. :( savegame bloat isn't really worth fantastic rain sadly. Just curious but why would rain have a script anyway?

Unfortunately the scripts included are compiled (no source supplied by the author). So it wouldn't matter in this case sadly. :(

Love this mod

The reason it causes bloat is because of an issue that causes constant drizzle (almost unnoticeable) even indoors etc. RLwC was considering just removing the scripts/esp and keeping the textures and sounds since those are still better than vanilla.

 

Personally I've followed that example and use the textures+sounds together with More Rain.

Vond: one thing I was worried about with Natural Rain is that it might hurt my fps (same with More Rain as well). However, if I use the Reduced view distance of More Rain, would that mean I wouldn't lose much fps?

This is all theoretical since I haven't actually played to see either mods' rain so I don't know if they'd hurt my performance or not, it just seems like it would....

 

If so, that might be a very cool combination for me. :)

Yeah I haven't noticed any fpsdrop with More Rain (or More Snow by same author). I use the 66% less view distance when raining option, as I feel it's more immersive aswell on top of helping performance. :)
