Climate Change V1.0.1

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 overstep their reach (why would a weather mod ever add Terrormorph spawns???). 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.
