True Storms - Wasteland Edition (Thunder-Rain-Weather Redone)

FEATURES

• New weather types including light and heavy rain, radiation rain, heavy fog, dust storms, and more.
• Intense visuals during rainstorms - new distant fork and sheet lightning VFX in the sky.
• All-new particle textures, materials, visual effects for truly heavy storms.
• All-new intense thunder sounds, and a new method for more randomized playback and lightning strikes.
• Sneak buffs for the player and companions during storms - if you can't see NPCs they shouldn't be able to see you either!
• New interior sounds for all weathers - If it's raining outside, you'll hear it on the roof, but only in locations where it makes sense.
• Volume sliders for thunder and rain sounds to give you more control.
• NMM Installer for easier selection of options (requires a Mod Manager)
• Fully configurable chance for Feral Ghoul attacks during radiation storms!
• Optional time of day change to make the nights begin earlier in-line with when the game takes place (late Oct)
• Configuration Holotape or MCM (with patch below) to customize the experience.
• Covers the Commonwealth, Far Harbor, and Nuka-World.

INSTALLATION

• Install using a Mod Manager and select your options. Everything is packed in BA2 archives, so everything should be plug-and-play.
• As of version 2.0 all options are contained in the installer. No more confusing manual steps for DLC. Thank you for your patience!
• True Storms is an ESM, so it must be above ESPs in your load order (but below the official game .ESMs)
• Upon loading the game, two holotapes will be placed in your inventory: True Storms config and True Storms weather control
• Load True Storms Configuration and select what options you'd like active
• If the holotapes do not appear in your inventory, you can craft them for free at the Chem Station under UTILITY
• If you are using an alternate start mod, the holotapes may not go into your inventory automatically. However, they can be crafted at a Chem Station under UTILITY.
