SkyrimSE Weather Compares
An Evaluation of Weathers Under Consideration for Step

This page is still under construction.General Notes
- For comparability across weather mods, only vanilla weather types are featured.
- Weathers with suffix,
_A, have auroras at night. - Screenshots feature the Step SkyrimSE build swapping out different weather mods in the 18-Lighting and Weather (L&W) ModGroup, with the following exceptions:
- To ensure unmodified vanilla weathers, the L&W ModGroup was disabled (except for EVLaS) only for the "vanilla" weather compares.
- To prevent any post-processing bias, the 21-Post-Processing ModGroup was disabled for all compares.
- The vanilla and Cathedral Weathers shots were generated against the Step SkyrimSE 2.1.0 build on TechAngel85's system with grass enabled but without grass LOD.
- The Azurite Weathers shots were generated against the latest Step SkyrimSE 2.4 dev build at higher resolution on z929669's system with grass disabled.
Weather Mod Notes
- Cathedral Weathers has been the historic weather mod for the Step SkyrimSE build through version 2.3.
- Cathedral Weathers and Azurite Weathers use a custom ToD, so ToD was reverted to vanilla in both for 1:1 compares.
- Cathedral Weathers and Azurite Weathers customize several of the vanilla weathers to include auroras and/or precipitation. These shots are not mismatched.
