Climate Change
Community Rating
"After my trip to Paradiso, a resort with perfect weather, I returned home to New Atlantis only to realise that it also never rains there... Thankfully, I can always go to Neon, where the rain is always of the exact same intensity all the time."
Climate Change adds more weathers to appropriate climates for biomes and unique locations to provide a greater variety of weather as you explore the Settled Systems.
Some locations like settlements have unique weathers, such as New Atlantis having its own special Clear weather. These unique weathers were respected and still have a higher than average chance of happening. Climate Change simply means that there's a chance for some different weathers that will have you wondering why Bethesda chose to omit them.
This mod was created after browsing existing climate mods and seeing them either completely change the visuals of the game or made changes beyond what I'd want a basic weather mod to accomplish. Every unique location's changes considered which biome they were a part of and what kind of experience the original weather choices were supposed to provide, creating a mod that almost feels unnatural to play without.
